This, My Friends, Is What We Call A Filler Entry...
Well, I don't have any new stuff to report, (besides a brief mention that new episodes of "Fullmetal Alchemist" are coming our way on [Adult Swim]!) but I am putting off doing my homework, so I needed SOME kind of excuse (hehehe). Anyway, so I have another, non-anime centered journal out there in the vast spaces of the Internet and I once started this list that I will now put on my post for all to see, along with comments on each part that I've added just for this posting. Why? Cause I'm stalling. And I like the list. Here goes...
"Bests" In Books I Have Read
Best Declaration of Love
"I love you. I hope you don't mind."
-"Sabriel" by Garth Nix- (If ever there was a classy zombie story, this book would be it)
Best Coming-Out Line
"Mom, you know the forbidden love that Spock has for Kirk? Well, me too."
-"Tithe" by Holly Black- (based in the old European fairy myths, kind of dark, but written a little childishly. Eh, oh well)
Best Opening Sentence
"Mother taught me to be polite to dragons."
-"Talking to Dragons" by Patricia C. Wrede- (classic fantasy, read in middle school and still reread to this day)
Best Parody Song
"O woe is me!
O woe is me!
I used to have a hamster tree.
But it was eaten by a newt
And now I have no cuddly fruit.
O woe is me!
O woe is me!
I used to have a hamster tree!"
-"Abarat" by Clive Barker- (an art lover's dream fantasy novel, complete with over 100 illustrations all painted by the author)
Best Heretical Saga
"'When you stopped believing in God,' he went on, 'did you stop believing in good and evil?'
'No. But I stopped believing there was a power of good and a power of evil that were outside us. And I came to believe that good and evil are names for what people do, not for what they are. All we can say is that this is a good deed, because it helps someone, or that's an evil one, because it hurts them. People are too complicated for simple labels.'"
-"His Dark Materials" trilogy (consisting of "The Golden Compass", "The Subtle Knife", and "The Amber Spyglass") by Philip Pullman- (great stuff, philosophy, science fiction, and good old fashioned fantasy)
