I got Valentine's Day presents on my LJ! A rose and a bear. N'aww, thank you guys!

In other cheery news, I wrote another NCIS fanfic. But I swear on all that is holy that it's my last. It's a sort of companion to the Dexter crossover because there was so much awesome discussion of just how Tony is totally a serial killer and Gibbs knows it.

It's really creepy actually, that I wrote this. I didn't know I had that much scary in me.

Title: Good Boy
Rating: R for violence (no sex)
Summary: Tony needs Gibbs. Gibbs has his uses for Tony, too.

Hey, so, I think in the shuffle between the old laptop and the new one, I lost the Cafe Cookbook.

I have the book of cookie recipes, but not the book of meal recipes, the one with Roadrunner on the cover. Can someone reupload it? If you could comment with an uploader-site link that'd be best, 'cause then everyone else will see when it goes up too. And if you have the .doc file that'd be extra special awesome, but I don't think anyone does. Thank you, Cafe!

ETA: UPLOADED! Check comments if you want a copy. Feel free to post mirror links, though, if you're so inclined.

I'm cleaning out my email (can you tell?) and a couple of people recently reminded me that I still had not reposted the rules for Emperors, the fortunetelling betting game played with Tarot cards. The rules were one of the casualties of the hack, but fortunately when Cartographer's Craft was typeset it was included as an appendix.

The amusing thing about Emperors, which was originally invented for a fanfic called Pilgrimage but used in CC as well, is that while it's actually been played by Cafe members, and apparently has had some popularity in certain circles, I've never played it. I have a couple of decks of Tarot cards (one of them my own hand-drawn invention) and I know people who read Tarot, but for one reason or another we've never sat down to a game. And if we did I'd probably have to consult the rules for the first few hands, just in case...

You will note I've included one variation at the end of the post. I love hearing about variations and just in general about people playing the game, so if you play it or have stories about it please feel free to share them.

Oh, I almost forgot...

I have now seen every episode of NCIS except for that one where the file was corrupted (Jimmy Palmer: Crimestopper!). But I failed to do Three Things. In lieu of Three Things About NCIS, I now present to you my Abstract on the Interpersonal Relationships of NCIS. Ready?

Say fifty percent.

Valentine's Day was very enjoyable. Almost nothing got blown up and we only killed two aliens both of whom richly deserved it.

I am definitely not drunk on very expensive wine. Jack wishes it to be made known that he is definitely wearing trousers.

Some of these statements are lies.
