Nightrunners, trips and whatnot...
See? I can write about other things than Kamen Rider... Even if instead of slowing down, things are even more *______* esp with Phillip. (now if I can do it without messing up tags so much... -____-)
Well, to prove I'm hopefully not as boring as I'm sure I am, when I'm not at work(or even on breaks), I've been reading books, specifically the Nightrunner series by Lynn Flewelling. I reread the first three books since I had them for a few years, and finally had a chance to read the fourth book. Well, I find that I like Alec very much and Seregil just as much, especially when they do the usual Watcher activities. It was very fun to watch them slowly get together, it wasn't like a PWP-thing, all while they managed to keep each other going through stuff. Plus Flewelling-sensei just wove such a believable and very realistic world so much it feels like you are there and sharing.
I just finished the fourth book, and I... I'm not sure what to say, it was well-written and I felt for both Seregil and Alec as they were taken to slavery and all. I was so happy when they got back together, managed through all the awkward times of Sebrahn and Ilar through the escape, and cried when Alec died to save Seregil ;__; I felt more for Seregil at that moment, and cheered him on when he went after the men. So glad Alec's child managed to save them and Micum and Thero found them. Not sure I like that Alec's people are once more aware of him because of Sebrahn, not to mention the attention of other people.
With that though, I noted little mistakes or changes from the first three books, like the name of the new inn, what Elani's mother's name was as well as a few other people, and that Alec's father had died in the prison cell where Seregil found him when I thought he'd died in an inn. Also, as much as I did like some of the alchemy discourse, I had to cringe a little at how into detail some things went. I know, the whole 'be as realistic as possible' but hmm... *thinks* some things went a little too detailed, perhaps? *_*
All the same, it was good to get more flashbacks about them, and histories at times. I'm looking forward to the fifth book and all the anticipation of that, and am happy to see Alec on the cover of that book as I loved seeing Seregil on the fourth book.
I mentioned a trip, didn't I? Well, I'm being dragged along by my parents to MI again, they want to go to Frankenmuth once more, and since I've been there before and can drive...:/ However, I'm looking forward to seeing aliaswestgate again, and kidnapping her as we drive up over teh Bridge and around the Soo.
I probley should take up Japanese again, even if I do watch it at times on keyhole, esp when Kamen is on. But I'm tired of stuttering so much when I get into vocabulary or sentence structure I'm not familiar with when I converse with my friends. I still havn't decided what I want to do, but as much as I like working at the pharmacy, it's not what I went to school for or studied Japanese for so long for... I am thinking of applying to go teach overseas this year, and don't have school to hold me back like last year. I dunno, I still have no idea what I want to do yet for a career, and I'm old enough to have had a few kids like my sis-in-laws. But... I dunno...
I know I have to find my own path, as does everyone else, but why does hacking out your own way without straying onto those set by others feel so hard? :/
Blargh, I went all morose when I'm trying to be positive... Can't wait for the trip then ^_^
