The Rosemary Saga

Rosemary Ch4 Envious TrappingsRosemary   
Chapter Four  Envious Trappings   
     Avendale was a city of art. From above, with its many roads weaving between crowded buildings, the city looked like a mass of brightly colored serpents nestled between the banks of two large, dull blue ones. The bright serpents all looked as though they writhed towards an even greater serpent in the center of the city, the glimmering eye of the latter being the grandiose manor of the Count Jenvier. Indeed, there was no better place for a connoisseur and collector of fine art and his two sons to reside than Avendale.     &n Rosemary Ch4 Envious Trappings

Chapter Three  Departures   
     The sky lightened ever so gracefully, hanging up its coat of black for a more favorable garment of lilac and honeyed orange. The light of dawn filtered in through the windows of the room Rosemary occupied, splashing the floor, the walls, and the furniture with its morning hues. And, as if on cue, the cock welcomed the coming of the sun over the horizon just as there was a knock on the door.       Rosemary groaned as she looked about the room she was in. It all was not a dream. She really was in a castle, slated to be t Rosemary Ch3: Departures

StarchildrenYou see, it’s hard to explain, what with our situation. After all, they only live for a week.   
It was a night mundane like any other: we sat in the observation facility watching over our deep space radio telescope array out in the deserts of New Mexico, scouring the readouts for any sort of astronomical anomalies that would otherwise go unnoticed by the masses. Things were quiet, as always, for the majority of the night. Nothing much to observe or report.  Then the explosion happened.  The instrument panel immediately notified us that receiver #5 in array subset D had been damaged. We deduced just as quickly that it Starchildren

Demon Hunter YokoI am Demon Hunter Yoko, and three days ago I discontinued hunting demons.   
A couple weeks ago I began tracking a particularly nasty demon by the name of Azrael, or should I say I simply kept tabs on him? He wasn’t difficult to find as he owned a rather large corporation in our city and his name was almost commonplace. What wasn’t commonplace was the knowledge of what he really was.  Anyway, I tracked him, learning his routines and whatnot. He rarely left his office building, so I determined it would be best to confront him there, after hours, so as to involve as few bystanders as possible. I bided my time, watching Demon Hunter Yoko

Arman and the Flaming DragonIt was the fortieth year in the reign of King Delnadio. His royal graciousness saw fit to hold a most exquisite banquet in honor of this landmark occasion, inviting all in his kingdom be they commoner, noble, or other to attend.   
Other, you ask? That’d be my kind. You know, the ones that keep the noble life worth living. The ones behind the scenes. Or rather, behind your chair with a knife.   
Anyway, there was the banquet. Everyone far and wide came to the great halls of the castle to partake in the merriment. The privileged few of the higher classes showed up in their carriages and whatnot, dressed as sharply as t Arman and the Flaming Dragon

Gonna be a busy week for me. How about you all?

First things first, I have a good bit of schoolwork to do. I need to:
-Complete online quizzes and discussions for Health (simple, but grossly boring).
-Write a persuasive essay on why a piece (still haven't decided on "Her Everything", "Arman", or "Vicarious"... :doh:) should be included in the anthology our class is reading from. Also need to give a speech/do a presentation lasting 5-15 over the same topic. Joy.
-Write an essay for my Japanese exchange program. Fill out the forms as well, but that shouldn't take long. Need to check out scholarships for that too...
-OMG I almost forgot the big project for Tutoring Writing. F<tut>k me... That at least isn't due til Thursday after the break, so even if I don't finish it this week I still have a little more time.

That's what I need to get done.

On a brighter note, I've already started Rosemary chapter 5. I'll probably finish it this week if I get too mired in schoolwork and need a break.

Toodles.


(Sidenote: not really feeling regretful, but I am pretty much bashing my head against a wall. It's what I do when I have a lot of work to do. Very productive, yes.)

Also, I take pretty pictures.

So I have to do a presentation on a short prose work and write an argumentative paper on why it should be included in the anthology we're reading from in class. Naturally, I'm going to suggest one of my own. But which?
