Why does the vocabulary now-a-days suck so much?
A few things you can do to better your communication with other
intellegent humaniods.
i) Learn better words, simply enough the more words at your disposal the better off you are. A mechanic with 5 wrenchs will probably be successful but at twice the effort as one with 10.
ii) Avoid weak words, Avoid traditional cussing such as "the f word" unless you really can't express yourself better, say maybe your tv fell on your toe. Avoid words l…

The court of the Priest-King is quiet save for the muttering voices of the court priests as they utter the ritual blessings to the setting sun.
All the nobles present go to one knee as the ritual begins, the only men remaining on their feet are the priests and the Priest-King himself. Even the Imperial Guard present in the room go to one knee, though their spears remain ready to use even then.
The Priest-King, head bowed as his hands form the sign of the Sun God, turns as a harsh cry splits th…

Tornydo Khan stands like a statue with the retinue of the General known as the Hammer, mind drifting back to his last audience with the Priest-King.
The Sanctuary was light and airy, hidden away behind the Great Hall and the Temple.
Khan stood in nothing but white robes before the Priest-King of Denoria, his lord and master. The Priest-King, mightiest man in the North, sat his throne clad in his ceremonial armour and his ancient spear close at hand.
“I wish you to go East with General Adel…

So I found time to come back here. [smiles]
Not that I can stay long.
With all the school work and the new promotion I got at work (not to mention the hours I get are crazy), I really don’t even have time to do homework.
Speaking of which; my volume two has been sitting in the same spot for a good 5 months and I have not draw/posted an artwork in a longer time period then that.
[sighs] We will see come December if I get time to.
I will finish volume two before NEW YEAR!

Palestinians have formally asked the European Union to urge the UN security council to recognise a fully independent state in the West Bank and Gaza Strip in response to the current impasse in peace negotiations with Israel.
Saeb Erakat, the chief Palestinian negotiator, confirmed that the request to the EU was made on Monday as Israeli ministers repeated warnings that any unilateral moves would trigger counter-measures that could include the annexation of more of the occupied West Ban

The rumors are true, according to Sarah Palin: The McCain-Palin campaign was not a happy family. In Palin's new memoir, "Going Rogue," she confirms reports of tension between her aides and those of the 2008 Republican presidential candidate, Sen. John McCain. The vice presidential candidate confirms that she had wanted to speak on election night, but was denied the chance and says she was kept "bottled up" from reporters during the campaign.
Palin also writes harshly of CBS anchor Kati

Striding through the filth covered alley, his dark cloak, folded up over his shoulder keeping it free of the city's scum, the man's thoughts went wild.
"How did they know?" mumbles to himself, idly kicking a lump of refuse out of his way.
A dark cloud followed the man and hung over his head like an unholy halo. The cloud pulsed with his every thought, the darkness of its insides pure and absolute. Like the mans.
Raising head, the man dissipates the cloud and increases his pace. Approaching the a…

Evander cannot shake the feeling of dread as he marches at the rear of the file, his head moving constantly like a crazed imitation of a bird. His hands sweat around the grip of his spear and shield, the wood chaffing against his already raw palm.
The still rational part of his mind despairs as it is weighed down by the madness that dwells within. The nerve beneath his right eye twitches almost constantly, in time with the throbbing ache within his mind.
Almost absently Evander notices the file…

My God, I just got done reading, for the third time, the "Rabbit's" battle of vengeance against the Khalidorans...
And how they kicked ASS! That part has really got to be my favorite part in the series so far. That just rocked.
I bet you all don't need me to tell you this, but Brent Weeks is an AMAZING writer.
He just brought that part of the book to LIFE.
I seriously got chills from reading that.
Man!
Well, I'm off... To read that part AGAIN.

Ah,, space. Being an ex-English teacher (not that we are ever x-ed) and a fantasy reader since - 1966 (read Tolkien before they were even in paperback or hardcover, for that matter) and a comedy performer/writer, Shakespearean actress, musician, etc. I am now an unemployed all above. Weeks looks young enough to have been a student when first I was a teacher. Who knows. I have read the first two books and am afraid to read the last. What say you? Dare I?

Anyone else notice the use of the color white in the trilogy? The spider on Azoth's leg in the beginning of Way of Shadows was white, as was the snake and the poison Kylar used to kill Durzo. Garoth Ursuul's wardrobe was white, as was the ermine cloak Dorian dropped when he first notices the Strangers among his army in the last book. Solon's hair turned white after using Curoch, and Vi aquires a streak of white hair after Khali is defeated. When Elene's body was taken over by Khali, the dress sh…

She looked around her enclosure, seeing it with strangely familiar eyes. Everything was black and white, and eveything had suddenly become larger. Yet her mind remained the same. She could remember the intense pain, and the feeling of her limbs expanding and contracting. She was just sorry she had ruined that dress...
She turned around. Animal instincts took over. She jumped out of the window, and onto the soft grass. In the distance she could see the forest; her home during the night. She ran,…

She looked out of the window. The suns final rays were hitting the soft clouds, creating a beautiful orange glow. Yet she despised it. Sunset brought not only dark to her eyes, but a curse more powerful, painful, and frightning than anything she'd ever experienced before.
Behind her, Drake laughed maliciously.
"I told you never to go against me, my love. You put this upon yourself." he decalred.
She spun around, furious.
"Don't say that. Don't call me that! You lost the right to call me that lon…

OH HOW I DESPISE TIMEZONES.
And daylight savings.
I think Sydney and Melbourne are like, an hour ahead of us?
This is problematic, as all the cool people in America get on when I'm asleep.
It's not cool.
:(
'Specially for roleplaying... D8
Sigh...
Damn, I don't want my holidays to be over. WHAI OH WHAIIII?!?!
Once again, another cause for frustration and sadness.
That is all.
You may leave now.
Timezones suck.

“You know me.” Elvira said, it wasn’t a question, but a statement. Kira looked caught between nodding and shaking her head,
“He said he was sending someone, but didn’t say who, where or even when.” She replied, clearly unsure as to whether she should show her annoyance for fear of becoming another target. Elvira didn’t have to ask who ‘He’ was: her bo…
