Went to see Hellboy II. I liked it. Fun and cute, though I did like the poor tragic prince bestest. Something about a suffering prince, man. They're always fun.

Then I bought two shinies at the bookstore. I have got to have the oddest collection of reference books. Two new additions:

The Element Encyclopedia of Magical Creatures. I initially picked it up just to poke at for a bit, and I'm kinda of annoyed that I didn't see 'til I got home that some of the pages are loose, but oh well. It's pretty thorough, and I've wanted a decent bestiary for awhile.

Medieval Wordbook is the other. Much shiney ^__^

They are also giving me awesome ideas. Especially one *.* We will see if I can do anything with it.

Then jawsgoose called, and I tagged along on her shopping trip ^__^ She was awesome enough to buy me a couple of things - one of them alcohol. w00t!

Now to ponder writings.

And story:

When I was in third grade, I got in trouble for losing my homework. I was supposed to go to detention. The lost homework was actually the fault of my parents, however, and they called my teacher and said this, and my parents being the awesome people that they are, they showed up to go to detention. We still have a picture of it somewhere, my big bad marine corp parents sitting in the itty bitty detention room ^__^

My Mum got me the Encyclopedia for my 19th, over 3 years ago... I'm not even half-way through the book. So many pages... But it is cool.

Some of the monsters tho, are kinda weird... Like the giant native american skunk that likes to spray people to death, or the monster than has acre-wide shits that are so nasty that everything within a square mile of it burns and dies. (Though, that would make an interesting story, huh? The Adventurers have to go forth and slay the evil stink-beast!)

And, ooh, that word book sounds interesting. *adds to list*

Why are so many of my answers similar to yours? *grumbles*

And I desire your new purchases something fierce. Maybe I should start saving up, the Encyclopedia seems awesome. But then, the Medieval book too... Mabrouk (=congrats for your new books from where I come from)!

I read Medieval Wordbook as Medieval Warlockery.

I need to read more slowly.

Medieval Warlockery would have been a thousand times cooler.

Aha, we were talking about purses at work Friday, and I totally told everyone I have a friend who is an awesome purse h0r and has the coolest collection. So if you felt a cold chill on friday, that was me.

^_____^ Yay de-lurking!

Thank you very much.

It's a fun book. I'm getting no work done for looking at it.

You are plenty brave, to me at least. *huggles*

Your parents are awesome. And so badass.

[saaski-moql.livejournal.com]

You're parents showing up to go to detention is amazingly awesome and one of the best childhood stories I've heard in a while XD

*Interested* I've been trying to get a good collection of reference material and have been basically jumping on LiveJournal groups and Amazon.com. Any reference books that you have found especially helpful/grand/worth-all-the-money-in-the-world?
