Alternative writings

I am now in possession of the sexiest book evah: The Cambridge Companion to Fantasy Literature.

It's a book of academic essays about fantasy books.

Shut up. Don't judge me. It's my precious.


Also two things in regards to writing.


1. If I ever see something along the lines of 'How could anything so deadly be so beautiful' I reserve the right to stab the author in the hand and take away their writing privileges.

2. If you want someone dead, don't send a family member to kill them. They spend too much time blithering about how they don't want to kill the other. Please don't make me kill you. You can't kill me we're family. How could you do this to the family. Blah. Blah. Blah. And I'm sitting here going "KEEEELLL HIM ALREADY." Of course, if I'm doing that then it probably means I'm not emotionally invested in the story.

I'm moving rather along on my production of stuff. Being productive and things.

I've started re-reading Ivanhoe by Walter C. Scott. It's actually very good and I'm having trouble putting it down. It takes a bit to get through the flowery language, both spoken and descriptive, but the plot is damn right interesting -if cliched - but he manages to spin the tale in such a way that you don't notice the clicheness, which is the mark of a good story teller. The characters are so interesting that you want to see what happens to them. More on this later. I promise.


Also, it's about a month away from my 30th birthday. Oh my I'm old! =D

Anyway I decided to make my birthday gimmie stuff wish list.

1. D&D Dice
2. Miniatures (Star Wars or D&D)
3. LEGOs! Star Wars
4. Rubber Duckies (the ones in my bathroom demand cohorts so that they can continue on their quest to take over the bathroom and then my apartment)
5. Assorted fuzzy animals or critters
6. Tarot cards
7. Your immortal Soul.
8. Books to cleanse my pallet and restore my IQ.

If you want to be good kind and generous by giving me free stuff, give me a ping.
