We choose to go to the moon...

First. A drabble for between_names. Sebastian Arcelus/Severus Snape.

Sebastian stole a look at the audience slowly filing into their seats. Yup. There he was again. Row C, Seat 11. After five performances in a row, the mystery man was becoming a fixture in the theater. During his run in RENT, Sebastian grew accustomed to fanatic fans but not with this show and certainly no one who looked like the gentleman in row three. Dark cloths, lank hair, sour expression – he looked like he'd be much more comfortable in a mortuary.

Waiting for the show to start, Severus flipped through his Playbill. He'd never tire of the Beach Boys.

That probably only made sense if you know Sebastian's theater history. But the accompanying icon is oddly appropriate.

Tropical Storm Hurricane Katrina is on it's way to Florida and we're expecting 8 - 12" of rain over the next 24 hours. I'm stocked up on bottled water, peanut butter, and crackers - the most important supplies in a power outage. I can handle the dark with far more grace than I can handle hunger.

I stopped at Home Depot after work and, on the recommendation of the Home Depot woman, bought some indoor/outdoor ant spray. It's better than borax because it doesn't actually attract the ants. It kills them immediately and, then, something in the spray keeps them away. I'm not questioning it. I'm just praying that it works. *prays*
