Er....
this is a terrible scribble I did to try and draw even better than the last
picture of Haku... but it failed miserably. Phooey.Another chapter of RnK is here! For the die-hard fans of the video game... I am not putting the Sword of Spirits chapter! It adds nothing plotwise! I summed it up in one sentence in this chapter. That's how short it is... and was. Sorry.
I saw the end of an Errol Flynn Robin Hood movie - where Guy of Gisborne is played by Basil Rathbone, I think, the same guy who played Ravenhurst in Danny Kaye's Court Jester movie - and then I went back and read the book. I have two copies: Puffin Classics version by Roger Lancelynn Green, and a different one by Paul Cresswick illustrated by N.C. Wyeth which has Will Stutely and Will Scarlett doesn't die! Yay! I like it a lot better now than the other one. Will Stutely is a cutie... but I can't draw a picture of him. Drat. I started Chibiness page 4, and it's half done. I don't know what to put on the bottom half, though.
Also I played another level of Fire Emblem 9 and defeated more Daein nutcases and discovered that Cainaghis can't do anything for Princess Elincia because his advisors would protest. So, now we have to bust Kieran and Sephiran and Nephanee out of a Daein jail cell on our way to Port Toha. Lethe is actually pretty, despite the hissing - she's an orange cat with violet eyes. I think I'll take her, and then my final line-up for Laguz - shapeshifters - will be Lethe, Ranulf, Janaff, Reyson, and Nasir. Maybe Maurim this time, too. Oh, and Tibarn. I may try out the other two large-sized allies, Naesala and Giffca, but Tibarn rules every time.
I bought a new book today - The Cat Who Dropped a Bombshell. Just because I'm not going to the library anytime soon, so I wouldn't have a chance to read it otherwise. The plot didn't really have a conclusion like in the early books. Maybe I should buy those instead.
However, the book store did not have any Tsubasa, though they had White Dwarf and Nintendo Power. They had Naruto (-_-7) Full Metal Alchemist (-_-;7) and Inuyasha (-_-;;7). I have not read any of those, and I don't know if I want to... they're too popular. That is what turns me off them, especially Inuyasha, which I might otherwise like. Also the English voice for six-or-thereabouts year old Rin sounds like a sixteen year old. And Kagome, the heroine, is drawn funny on one of the covers.
This was after going to the Lego Museum exhibit in Sydney, which was pretty cool. They had the really old Pirates sets, which I've never seen in person, and they were really well taken care of, and they had the really, really old Space sets, which were nifty, and other stuff like Knight's Kingdom and Harry Potter. They also had some of the collector's models like the Red Baron triplane and the Wright Bros. plane and some nifty Technic racing cars and working cranes. Also, they had a giant collection of Star Wars - TWO Star Destroyers, three sizes of X-wing (I have three sizes of X-wings too), and elephant walkers and speeder bikes and ATPT thingies and the collector's Y-wing, which looks like a really sweet model with the masses of detailing. Also they had a normal sized Y-wing and some TIE fighters. Oddly, they didn't have any Paradisa, which is what I have a lot of sets of, or any Wild West, which my brother has a ton of sets of.
Last thing: new Skyland episode again. Mahad shoots down an inquisitive bad guy ship, and you know, ships never, ever get destroyed unless they have a self-destruct or crash headlong into a wall. Even then, if there's a character on board, they may survive. So, the ship crashes on the secret good-guy hideout, and the take her prisoner, and then Mahad and Lena help her escape, and Pratuchi the pain-in-the-neck returns, and now another of the bad guys is a secret good guy trying to make other bad guys see the light. And Cheng has his own ship now! Oh no!
Will these plot points actually ever change the course of the story? Who knows? There was a nifty shot of Dahlia in a militaristic rush, but still no romance... although the prisoner girl asked Mahad if he was flirting with her. -_-7 He needs to quit that.
