Leslie: (goes CHOMP on the bad guy’s hand)
Enemy soldier: AAGH
Other enemy soldiers: OH NO SHE HAS SUDDENLY BECOME FEISTY
Jen: Why is feisty only applied to mildly violent women?
SFX: THUD CRACK WHUD
Flairé: Well, that’s the last of them for now. (having KO’d and pwned the bad guys, who are now lying in an unconscious heap)
Leslie: Who were they?
Flairé: A group of extremists who don’t believe in angels, frankly, and think that everyone should think the same. As my parents’ son, I’m a highly visible member of the… uhhh… ‘pro-angels’ group. I’m afraid they targeted you as someone I should and would protect. To try to make me stop.
So… looks like Leslie flipped out on that guy and then Flairé knocked all the bad guys out. And then we have some exposition. Isn’t exposition fun? (no, no, it’s not)
CHORUUUUUS It was so good! Except Supertenor in the Wagner, but that’s only to be expected. I love the Overture to Tanhauser, and it was really good to hear the overture to La Forza del Destino again. JerP says it’s way easier now than it was in CYMC. : D Oh, and I love Rob. Why? Because he played the heck out of that anvil. <3
I’ve been reading books slavishly. I’m halfway through Moby Dick (srsly, everybody is an angst-bucket and he has a whole chapter on THE HISTORY OF WHITENESS) but I read The Subtle Knife for the first time yesterday/today and I can’t say I understand it very well. It’s… weird. I like the characters, and the story is interesting for story’s sake, but then…
EDIT: I’d write this page differently now; I have better motivations for the antagonists.
I read His Dark Materials years and years ago… I honestly can’t remember exactly what happens, except that you meet God in the third book and he’s really a rather pathetic figure.
Heh. I’m looking forward to it… or not. I dunno. It’s a story. I’m going to stop by the library tomorrow.
Thanks for commenting!
Why IS “feisty” only applicable to mildly violent women?! It’s such a great word.. it shouldn’t be limited this way. You have made me think. Hummmmmmmm.
Heehee… the random things I think about… if I put everything in, my comics would be a hundred times as long and never get anywhere because of all the random introspective garbage!
P.S. – your current page count makes me sad!
Thanks for commenting!
@Nathan – the library’s copy of book 3 is missing so I had to order it afterall.
