lissa_quonI am really sore from this weekend's activities, I mean sore to where twisting my arm a certain way causes twinges of pain. Fortunately the muscles that are sore are ones that aren't streched in normal activities that I do which consist of lounging on my ass and drawing; so I'm surviving.
Will be baking some cookies and putting up Christmas tree tommorow, fortunately its somewhat cold outside so it seems a bit more like Christmas season then it did on Saturday. What the shit is up with 80 degreee weather in December anyways?
Saw Earthsea on the SciFi channel at Karen's. It was ok, I read the books a loooooooooooooong time ago during my awkward junior high years where I read a book a day instead of dealing with people. As a result my memories of the book are very foggy.
So I can watch the show and go 'ok, I'm pretty sure there wasn't any sort of king conqueror guy, and I don't seem to the recall the priestesses of Atuan containing the Nameless Ones, it seemed more like they were worshipping them in some strange bizarre way and I don't remember Ged releasing a Nameless One, I thought it was just some f-ed up demon shadow, dark side thing' and since I'm not too sure about what I remember from the book I can watch and relax.
So while everyone else is gnashing teeth over ethnic identity of the cast and such I'm just trying to remember who the hell half these people are and I'm calm.
Though for the love of god, if Tenarr and Ged become a couple I swear to the Nameless Ones I will KILL THE WRITERS, KILL THEM IN AMAZING SLOW WAYS. Thats one thing I remember very well, that book in the series stuck in my head very well, Tenarr and Ged were in these catacombs and Tenar was all like 'I'm high priestess, I must sacrifice you to the Nameless Ones (or something like that) eventually they came to an understanding which didn't have Ged's throat cut with a ritual blade, but they didn't become lovers, at least not as far as I read. If theres anything thats a pet peeve of mine its the 'nessecary' love interest, as if everyone in the fucking world gets with someone all the time.
AND THERE WAS NO FUCKIN' PROPHECY BIYATCH, and now that I've read a synopsis of the books I can remember what confused me so much about the priestesses in the Sci-Fi mess who are running around acting like a cross between nuns and the priestesses in Mists of Avalon, clean, pure, kind and wise, in the books PRIESTESSES = EVIL.
ARGH, me brain meats
Ok so that note aside, I'm now doing a bit of scripting and background info for the pirate mess. I just recently cooked up a reason why the ships can fly around in the air though I will need to rest on it a bit and see how much sense it makes when its not 2am in the morning. I seriously tried plotting this thing with normal ships instead of air ships, but it didn't work out; my brain kept screaming for flying ships and people gliding through the air on various contraptions.
Word on when my brain will let me do an opening for the twenties mess is not out yet, I guess I'll just have to start buckling down and forcing myself to do some free form writing, which will hopefully yield something useful
