Back from vacation!
patch bmp studioFeeling a bit better now, but still had a pretty bad bout of nausea last night. We figured out that it's a virus. I think I'm coming down with something else, too; my glands are pretty swollen and I've gotten sinus headaches at least every three hours.
Anyway, I finished The Eye of the World by Robert Jordan, one of the books I bought up in New Hampshire. 'Twas an excellent book. Some people complain that after the prologue it was really boring, but there aren't many books out there that don't have a lull in the action to introduce characters and whatnot. Some people deny it, and deep down somewhere in there they know it too, but character development is just as important, if not more important, than the plot. What good is reading the book if you can't even connect with any of the characters? All of Robert Jordan's characters are in depth, each having a unique personality (and personality querks) that link the readers to even the most minor of characters.
Speaking of which, I made a character today that is possibly my favorite. Her name is Reoj, Keeper of the Promise. She is of the Ni Skurn a Iren people, or the Summoners of Long Past. ^_^ Take a look at chapter 3 on the TNCS site I made. Note that chapter 3 is not anywhere near finished. -_-;; It was hard writing about the part with the wind, because I made it seem like so much of a person that I would write "he" instead of "it" by accident sometimes...^^;
Whee. Yeah, I'm tired.

P.S. Oh yeah, Chib, the book store is called The Village Bookstore, and it's in Littleton New Hampshire, which is near Franconia, NH, which is about 20 minutes away from Lincoln, NH. Note that just getting into the state of NH is about a four to a four and a half hour drive on the fastest route my parents have found (more popular routes take about 7 hours...).
