Artsy stuff

I finished reading "The Mists of Avalon" by Marion Zimmer Bradley. It's a very good book, and I can recommend it to everyone who is into the fantasy genre or who likes medieval/Arthurian legends.
Isaac Asimov (yes, the famous writer) said about that book: "the best retelling of the Arthurian Saga, absolutely compelling" etc.
A definite must-read. And don't dare to read it but in English!

Good. Anyway. The artsy stuff. I've been inspired by books before to draw about the characters. With the Vampire novels I was afraid because the images of Victoria (ah, the pose at the cargo yard, the leopard-accented catsuit and high hat!) and Lucita (the rose tattoo, her smart questioning eyes, and that one eyebrow arched!) and Theo and and and...might be very different from the images other people had in their minds...

In any case, Avalon inspired me again. *sigh*
When I get back to Veenendaal, I'll have enough to do. Move my desk upstairs to my room, work on projects, and work on art.

Another note: Livejournal should have a mood icon for "inspired".

My temptation

I moved my desk upstairs, with the computer. It's better this way. At least the internet will be a little bit safer now, though I doubt the roomies here would have figured out that they needed to change the dial-in number to something else.
But now I am more sure they will not use my computer to try to print something (Hah! As if I have a working cartridge for that!)

My subject for NaNoWriMo is distilling in my brain. At least I now have a setting and an idea. That is more than before. I also am in doubt for what I now will do next: several connected stories in the same setting, mounting up to one big bang of a plot ending (which will be hard enough), or just focusing on one of the stories, and writing the other ones as 'sequels'.
But then again, we'll see where inspiration takes me.

I just realized that if Luc is going to fix my computer in November I might have a problem concerning NaNo.
But I can always type in school (and keep good backups EVERYWHERE) or work at NoKey's computer, even if Linux does force me to write the whole damn 50.000+ words thing in notepad.

So now I have my computer hooked up to my stereo as well, which so ROCKS! All my good mp3's can now be played in semi-good stereo. The soundcard still sucks though. But so does my internet connection.
So can't wait until that DSL arrives.

Anyways, I need to figure out a place to store my big ordners, archive some shit and write down what kinds of boxes I need to buy.
Later dudes and dudettes!
