I'm spamming mostly to see if I can, since LJ's being a dork, or possibly it's TSCITW, or my lousy connection, or the weather, or... hell if I know. Hopefully it'll be more cooperative tomorrow, since I have comments and email and whatall, but heck, by now you guys know what a slacker I am about that. So, tomorrow. And I was going to spaz about tonight's
JoA, but I don't have the energy anymore. Perhaps it's the "my show was disappointing for much of the season but I still love it and I don't know its fate and
that was the ending we got" blues (diddy wah doo). I need to rewatch it, plus the pilot and this season's premiere, I think. I will say this- I hate cliffhanger finales. On any show. But
especially on shows which have not yet been renewed. That's dirty pool, Ms. Hall.
Anyway. I quite liked this quiz result. Don't know how accurate it is, but she's always been one of my favorites, and whether or not she fits me, she certainly fits my type. Nicked from

Sekhmet Indeed, you are 75% erudite, 58% sensual, 75% martial, and 62% saturnine. |
Sekhmet, whose name literally translated means "The Mighty One" or "The Powerful One," was the Goddess of divine retribution, justice, vengeance, and war. She was also called such impressive titles as "Powerful of Heart," "The Scarlet Lady," "Avenger of Wrongs," "Lady of Flame," "The One Before Whom Evil Trembles," "Eye of Ra," and "Lady of Slaughter." Sekhmet was believed to protect the pharaoh in battle and destroy his enemies with arrows of fire. Hot desert winds were believed to be this Goddess’ breath, and her body was said to take on the bright glare of the midday sun.
The priests of Sekhmet were specialists in the field of medicine, arts linked to ritual and magic. They were also trained surgeons of remarkable calibre. Tame lions were kept in temples dedicated to Sekhmet. An ancient Greek historian called Aelian said: "In Egypt, they worship lions, and there is a city called after them. The lions have temples and numerous spaces in which to roam, and they eat to the accompaniment of song."
Sekhmet was also the sister of Bast. Together the twin sisters formed the "Yin Yang" of Egyptian religion, Sekhmet, depicted as a young woman with the head of a lioness, being the destructive force, and Bast, shown with the head of domestic cat, being the positive force. For those of you who love wine; the blood-red wine of Upper Egypt was called the Wine of Sekhmet, while the white wine of Lower Egypt was the Wine of Bast.
