Another book down. ^^ Finished Fell yesterday, and while it was good and an enjoyable read, after reading the Firekeeper Saga, I just wasn't as impressed as I probably would have been had I not read the Saga. For me it was that in the Firekeeper Saga, Blindseer and the other wolves seemed so realistic, but with Fell the wolves didn't seem as realistic. They seemed more fantasy-ish.
For one thing, when Fell goes to see Palla, because she's blinded/half-blind she's like, "Oh, is that you, Fell?" Uh? Wouldn't she smell him? Has her sense of smell gone to crap, too? Did I miss that part somewhere?
Another thing, unless I'm mistaken (though I'm quite certain I'm not), wolves don't use their claws when they fight. Instead, they may use their claws as anchors (as in, to keep them grounded). And yet, on several occasions, David Clement-Davies wrote about how his little wolfy characters "raked their claws across his back" or some such thing. It just made me shake my head in disappointment.
It wasn't even just those physical things. There was also the way they acted that seemed really human to me.
I dunno. Other than that, I think it was a pretty good story. I still love The Sight, but Fell (even though I love him) just didn't impress me as much.
Now I'm on to The World Without Us by Alan Weisman. Should be interesting, since it's a non-ficition piece. It sounds interesting and like it will keep my attention, which is why I picked it up in the first place, but I'm not usually a fan of non-fiction stuff unless I'm doing a major project (then I get into 'research mode' and go nuts XD).
Haven't done any artwork lately. I've been [surprisingly] swamped with homework, and not just little crap assignments, but major works. For instance, I have an IRP (independant research project) essay that I need to get done, a seminar, another seminar (though not as major as the last one) and one project thing I handed in today took me forever and a year to do as well (okay, so more like 5 hours, but still). And then I had a French project due this week that I was getting really frustrated with and freaking out about because my group members weren't getting their parts done. *sigh* At least the last two are done now. And the second seminar should be easy-peasy.
That's the other thing. These things aren't difficult to do (I actually had fun doing the 5 hour assignment), they're just time consuming.
So, yeah. No art. Maybe on the weekend I'll get stuff done. XD
Oh yeah, and I'm sick of hearing about Obama and Clinton. Seriously.

Also, I noticed your SouthPark quote...my fav is prolly:
Kyle: Hey, Mole, be careful.
The Mole: Careful? Was my mother careful when she stabbed me in the heart with a clothes hanger while I was still in the womb?
It's disturbing, but I laught every time.

They say artists should be able to create no matter what medium they are handed. But if someone hands you a slab of marble, and tells you to carve a sculpture using only your face, you're probably S.O.L.
