The Random Character Mix Generator has been entirely re-written, and gained a couple of features. You can now specifically request only same-gender mixes, only different-gender mixes or allow both. The gender of "other" has been introduced alongside "male" and "female" (which means that you now can request different-gender-only threesomes, but you'll end up with something like Willow/Joxer/Kosh), for characters that aren't human (and has never been) or just doesn't have a gender. At the moment even supposedly male aliens, such as Londo and G'kar, has been stuck into "Other". Comments on that, please. And last, more fine-grained control over character selection has been introduced. You can now select major/minor characters on a series-by-series basis instead of as a global setting, so you can for example mix all the major characters of Angel with the female minor characters of Xena (for when the Angel crowd go gallivanting off to fantasy universes, of course).

Probable future development: Links to pre-defined mixes, like "Angel/Buffy f/f slash" and "Blake's 7 m/m slash".

Possible future development: The ability to type in characters of your own (but that one has rather large potential for abuse, so it may not happen).

Spent the afternoon with some of the coven, mostly just being social. Nice and relaxing. One of the girls had made a very nice dip sauce out of fresh basil, garlic, olive oil and feta cheese. Must try that some time.

Today's election day. Went and voted about lunchtime. Not very many people there, but quite a few coming and going. Looks like more or less the usual attendance, based on that horribly unscientific measurement.

Tomorrow, up very early to accompany the wife to the hospital. Apparently the procedure is expected to be quite trying for her, so her doctor recommended that she have someone there to help her get home afterwards. So I'll be there, dammit.
