I mean it's devastating when I get my hands on a new obssession fandom, isn't it? I'm really enjoying the crap out of this Dragonlance book, and fangirling over Raistlin Majere, just like Dark Horse figured I might. Man, but I must be easy to read. ;)
Well, this book is easy to read as well, and so entertaining that it's trying to inspire more craptastic fanart from me. (Already it's responsible for this bit of nonsense:
)
but now I have this insane urge to draw the "Belzor priests try to burn Raistlin at the stake" scene (because Raistlin weighs the same as a duck! Raistlin weighs the same as a duck! Oh, sigh,) but, as if! Like I could actually draw more than one person on a page. Doing stuff, no less.
But you know, I might try that crap anyway, because I like totorture challenge myself.
And since I was reading this book before bed last night, of course I had a really bizarre dream about it this morning. Last night and this morning I couldn't seem to sleep; I have some kind of nasty, flu-like virus that kept me awake most of the frigging night. But I managed to get to sleep at around 2 AM and I had this wonky dream that I was in my living room with Raistlin Majere, thinking, "Is this right? The guy I'm dating got me into this whole thing. It's almost like cheating." I turn around to look at Raistlin (this is post High Tower test; for those who don't know, Raistlin is gold, with hourglass shaped pupils [and incidentally that is my favorite rendition of this character ever, because apparently the artist reached into my head and pulled this image out of it,] therefore he is creepy,) and he's watching TV. I think it was Powerpuff Girls but I know it was Cartoon Network. And I say to myself, "I think I'll take his virginity. It might do him some good." Then I woke up and I went to the bathroom. It was 4:30 AM. I got back to sleep somewhat later, and then I dreamed that I woke up and was about to go to the bathroom, but then when I rolled over, he was there in my bed, leering down at me, grinning with a mouthful of fangs and hissing, irisis all small and crazed-looking. In the dream, I shrieked like shrieking was going out of style. Then I stopped abruptly and said to myself, "Just act casual and maybe he'll stop." So I said, "Hey, can you let me up, I have to pee." And he was like, "Oh, sure, sorry about that. I was just testing you.
And then I woke up.
Jaysus.
Then don't you know, this morning I'm working with my wonderful friend Casse, and she starts telling me about this really bizarre dream she had. I'll spare you the details and keep her privacy, except for one point: after she'd finished telling me the dream and I'd had a go at interpreting it, we were quiet for a while until she said, "Oh! And there were these people dancing around. They were painted gold!"
And I just thought that was weird.
Hey, my other good friend got married tonight in Vegas. I watched the wedding live on the internet, and I'm just about to see if I can't go and download a replay of it and burn it to CD so she can keep it. She looked so nervous, but she also looked gorgeous and I'm so proud of her and happy for her. Best wishes Jenn and Keith, if you should ever happen to read this.
This week was truly fun. Meghan was over for most of it, and like last summer, we spent some time at the pool and some time at the movies. We went to see PoA again, and again, I was disappointed. Gran, Mom, and Dad liked the movie, but also felt that it was missing something that the first two had. Sorely disappointed with Lupin. Sorely disappointed with the pacing. Feircely annoyed that they left out so many goddamn key plot points. Spent the entire ride home explaining to my Dad exactly who "Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs" were, why Harry's patronus was a stag, why Snape hates James and consequently hates Harry, what Draco and Lupin were really like in the book, and many other things that the movie should have given us. Meh. (But I did notice this time that when we first see Buckbeak, he takes a huge dump! I think that's hilarious! But then, I would.)
Lots of other things happened, but like most of this, they are of no interest to anyone but me, it's just that I have to stop writing now and go and get my dragonbaby. ^_^
Happy summer, all!

Mind you, I've only read the one book, and he was just a creepy, arrogant little kid through most of it, who absolutely didn't deserve what happened to him at the end (umm, aren't most young kids selfish and convinced that they know everything?) so I have no way of telling hos much farther the creep factor is going to go. But I'm looking forward to it. ^_^

Well. Right and Wrong at the same time...

And after reading this, then Tanis's attitude to him in Chronicles, it just seems like there was something.

Raistlin weighs the same as a duck!
xDDD I can see this very easily. dude. how many books into the trilogy are you? I've forgotten most of them, to be honest, and what happens in each book, so will not talk more for fear of leaking spoilers.
ps. I think one trilogy is called Tale of the Twins, which is about Cameron and Raistlin. :D

HooTAH! Seriously?! That's awesome. Say, you wouldn't have any, like, drawings that you did...you know, like, of Raistlin or whatever...would you? Because if you did, and you ever, I dunno, wanted to like, show them to someone? Dude, I'd be all over it. ^_~

Well, only thing I've read yet is The Soulforge. I have no idea where to go next. Someone wants me to read "the trilogy" but there seem to be a lot of trilogies. What do you suggest should come next?

Legends Focuses more on Caramon and Raistlin, Chronicles on Tanis and the War. Both good reads. I have the Annotated versions of both.
Very good :)
Brothers in Arms is pretty good too. Takes place after The Soulforge.
