"It started out with Hogwarts; now it's the Lord of the Flies"
I've been mega-distracted lately, as I try to figure out what elements of Psychosis I should ditch and which I should focus on, as well as my concern as to how I portray the major characters. Sob Dominic is so sexist.
I also finally picked up "The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms." I finished "Sharp Teeth." The ending was a bit too chaotic for my taste without even bothering to explain why everyone was fighting. Because humans are more violent than wolves is not an answer, Barlow. I also didn't appreciate the random gay rights segment Barlow inserted near the end. I'm guessing the point was to emphasize that not all gay people are evil since one of his major villains was obviously gay. But it felt so tacked on and random. Bleh. At least the characters I loved most finished strong, and the story did maintain a good female lead. I wish we learned more about Lark's schemes though.
I am 115 on the waiting list for "The Passage," which I mostly want since all the reviewers are referring to it as the anti-Twilight. I'm trying to bone up on my supernatural literature so I can do a better job of writing it myself.
I also really want to see "Toy Story 3" and know it's been getting some great reviews. I know it's probably going to make me cry.
I will have to manage my time carefully this weekend if I want to both visit my father for Father's Day on Sunday and hang out with ichinichinemasu this weekend. But I am confident of my time-management skills!
