I have stabbythings.
May. 6th, 2006 02:01 pmFirst weekend at home in over a month. It feels so good. I slept until noon. I've got a day I can do absolutely nothing with, though as soon as I finish this I'm off to work out.
So, my Instruments of Deth arrived from Chinatown in the mail today. I got a kick-ass naginata (Japanese glaive) that's only an inch shorter than I am with golden sakura nuts around the hilt, and Sam (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
zychi) got a lovely Tai Chi sword with an elegantly simple yin-yang design on the hilt. I've decided that I'm keeping them both, after I've sharpened the blades. Ornamental swords my ass. I want to know I have something dethly on my wall, not a purty decoration. Naginata has been my favorite weapon for a while now. It's part bo staff, which is the weapon in which I am most proficient and feels most natural to me, and part blade, which can be used to stab at people, and that's cool. For anybody who ever read Tamora Pierce, naginata was Kel's weapon of choice in the Protector of the Small quartet. That and watching the end of the Narnia movie with my family makes me want to re-read all those books, especially the Song of the Lioness quartet. I thought the Narnia movie was quite lacking (I thought the book was too when I read it; it came off as dry and sterile), but seeing the battle scenes reminded me of those books. I really need to read the new books featuring Alanna's and George's daughter.
The Joe Satriani concert was pretty kickass. I wish I hadn't been falling asleep for the last half of it, though. I need to get my sleep cycle back to its summer state. Every time Eric Johnson played check-the-amp chords on his guitar I expected "Kaze ga Fuku Hi" from Tenkuu no Escaflowne to follow on its heels. That's what the beginning sounds like.
The English test was pretty easy; hopefully the government test will be the same. After Tuesday, I'm pretty much done with school. My AP tests will be done, and my senior year research report is already turned in. Because SUSD is run by morons we graduate June 8, which just means I'll have to sluff around school for a month. Honors Economics has far too much work for a mandatory second-semester senior-year class, but it's not a big deal. And I get to race cardboard boats in physics on the 19th. Hopefully this means I'll get back to writing more. I've written, what, one new thing this entire school year, and that was re-writing the beginning to an already-existing story. Then again, I've been trying to soak up all possible time with people before graduation, so we'll see.
The new Pirates of the Caribbean movie better not suck.
