New rule, for viewing the messageboards, any topic that can possibly become inflammatory probably will at some point. I got to stop looking at most threads in almost every section of the messageboards.
This is not a new rule. ;)
Patrick, sorry I have missed out on your posts. Any diagnosis yet?
No worries. Ally has Pancreatitis , which is basicLly a failure of the pancreas for various reasons. They aren't sure why this happened, but one possibility is her anti-seizure meds

My new rule is that I don't really care what the trolls think or post. Also, my new saying is: Play with trolls, get warts. Trollery is in the eye of the beholder, and I will not debate with trolls just looking to get a reaction. Once you do youve let them win, and many times you end up overreacting and looking like a troll yourself*

Belgariad, then The Malloreon, then Belgarath the Sorcerer, then Polgara the Sorceress. In that order. ~quickly hides book three of The Malloreon behind my back~I knew there was another set of books I needed to get my hands on. That and the Belgariad.I wonder why the Prydain Chronicles don't get as much love as Narnia.I've often wondered that myself. I read that series and enjoyed it. Hell, I still talk about making sure my "poor, tender head" stays safe. I only own two of the books, but one day I'll go back and purchase the others.
And, of course, I only learned that Lloyd Alexander lived here in Philadelphia AFTER he died! Although maybe that's a good thing. Otherwise, I might have become a stalker.
The Elenium and Tamuli are my favorites. Redemption of Althalus, though so similar it's sometimes too boring, is nice for a quick read too.
Hi, Everybody!!

Hi, Everybody!!Hey there Woodraven. How are things going for you?
eh, so-so right now. beautiful weather outside. Had a fever yesterday that took me out completely. Almost done with spring semester. Roommate's girlfriend is up for the weekend. Going to the driving range with a buddy in about an hour. Nearly broke right now after paying rent. Got new car last weekend and plan on turning it into a project car for me. Even though it is a Foxbody and the 4cyl model, a Mustang is a Mustang. Note to self must move to somewhere where ice and snow are not common occurrences during winter. RWD are not fun in winter here in Iowa.

Very true. I think the industry has been dying a very slow death for some time now.True, but the artform thrives in a new form, so it is all good. Sometime you gotta shutter the buggy whip plant and go buy a Model T ;)
Having studied comics at the university level (it feels weird saying that) with industry professionals, I've seen where the comics 'industry' is going, and it's not really dying at all.
The basic dynamic I've seen is that the mega-companies (Marvel, DC, Image, etc) are going the way of the dinosaur (mainly due to confusing, crappy writing and cluttered art), the medium-sized companies (Dark Horse, Boom, Devil's Due, etc) are getting about the same business, and the independent artists and publishers (King-Cat Comix, Brian Ralph, R. Crumb) and webcomics artists (Rich Burlew, Jeph Jacques, Randall Munroe) are on the upswing.
In addition, the huge companies (and to an extent, the medium-sized ones) are branching out more into the film, merch, and RPG markets and focusing less on actual print comics.

I first watched it when I was 6 or 7. Which happened to make the film 6 or 7 years old. I am half a year older then the movie. Uhh why do I since a new flavor of being concocted?
how's it going Shiny?

Honestly, the Silmarillion reminded me of reading the bible, which I would not at all be surprised if that was Tolkien's intention.
I wonder why the Prydain Chronicles don't get as much love as Narnia.
1. It was indeed his intention.
2. I've wondered this myself. I still dig those books.
I need to read Prydain. I've only read one. Hrm.
So many books, so little time...to draw for wayfinder. :P

Heh. I'm half a year younger than the movie.
how's it going Shiny?It's going like I have no money and my health's in the s+~&ter.
Celebrated my two-year anniversary with the lovely lady a month ago, though, so it's not all bad.
Congrats on the latter half about the better half!

Shiny I think we should run away before the old timers decide to sit us down and reminisce about the old days, or tell us to cut our hair and get off their lawns :P

Maybe... I don't have hair to cut, though...
Is it weird that people always think I'm way older or way younger than I actually am? Guesses are always +/- 10 years.

I'd say trust me, but then I'd sound like a mob boss.

PSST! In book two of Tamuli (The Shining Ones), again.
Considering playing a Sparhawk-type Paladin.

I'm so disappointed.
I wonder why the Prydain Chronicles don't get as much love as Narnia.One word:I know I'm going to catch s#$# for this, but:
Even though it did little justice to the book, I still liked the film version of 'The Black Cauldron'.
I did not mind it at all. It is just not a great film and with the myriad of great films Disney produced years before and then immediately after, it is lost in the shuffle and treated like a "red-headed step child."
It should be a great movie. With all the crap in LoTR's movies that should and could have been done better, it will have a much longer legacy and Prydain will be forgotten for some time. Which is quite sad.
Fullmetal Alchemist - Brotherhood, Part 5 will be out on July 26, 2011. ~CHEERS~
I know I just should let it lie, but why do people always assume that if you do not agree with them that 1) you have no real reason to think the way that you do 2) you must be a backwoods ignorant 3) They are always right.
Just give me your reasoning and do not expect me to always agree with you nor you with me. Live and let live. The world is a big place.

I didn't get the job in Portland, but I've got a bunch more resumes out there. (Who knows, maybe I don't make that good an impression over the phone.)
I think employers are uneasy about somebody who lives across the country. They might consider it a risk - that maybe I'll back out or something.
*emails more resumes*

Yes. I'm really hoping that someday, a live-action Prydain movie(s) will be made, and that the production crew don't SCREW IT UP.
Granted, I'm also a huge LotR film fan, and I recognize there were good reasons for all the changes they made, but I do wish that Alexander's books were as well-known as Tolkien's.

I am SOOOO looking forward to this game! Now all I need is a new computer since my old one is not powerful enough to play it.
Hubby and Ari just let for their Daddy/Daughter dance. She looks so beautiful! *sob*
I am glad to hear that. I hope that they both have a good time.

You and I both.
I read an article awhile back describing the differences between the movie and the books in LoTR. I found myself loathing the movies.

Yay! Hugs for everyone!
