Haven’t read either of those but probably not. If you’re not getting anything out of it, stop. 😛

@Daeus gonna keep reading it unless you stop, hm? *chuckles* Glad I have you here to explain these things to me. 😀
In all seriousness, okay. Let me know what you thought once you finish.

@Daeus hey that’s not bad.

@Daeus I got 869— not stunning, but I got over a difficult slump where there was a lull in the action so I’m happy.

@Daeus me. And yes, I’m planning on it.

At any rate, David might have done a better job training Solomon than he did (at least as far as we can tell).
@Mark-Kamibaya Actually I take that back. I was talking about it with @Kate-Flournoy, and later I went and looked specifically for stuff in the Bible from David to Solomon. Looking specifically at 1 Kings 2:1-4 and 1 Chronicles 28:9 ,…[Read more]

@Daeus I’d be the last person to judge you.

@Daeus yes, I know. Eldest was by far the toughest to get through. Thematically wishy-washy and not accomplishing much of anything. It’s been a while since I read Brisingr, but I do seem to remember it being a lot more interesting and a lot less eye-roll-worthy when it came to the worldview, probably because it didn’t say much of anything about it…[Read more]

@ethryndal Oh! Big Hero 6. Baymax said that about ten times in a row to Hiro.

@Mark-Kamibaya That verse— “Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and went not fully after the LORD, as did David his father.” —is one I hold to say he was bad. It says he went not fully, because he was Godly, in his earlier life, as you’re saying. But toward the end, he turned away. That doesn’t to me say he still partly had a heart for…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy It’s the Princess Bride when Wesley is trying to comfort Buttercup about the Fire Swamp, right?
@sarah-h I think his name is Vezzini. And Happy Thanksgiving! -
Emma Flournoy replied to the topic Favorite Movies in the forum Film 9 years, 9 months ago
@Daeus What’s his name? I might want to look him (the historical one) up. Do you think I shouldn’t if I’m going to watch the movie—spoilers?

@Anne-of-Lothlorien it’s from a very famous comedic fantasy that practically everyone has watched.

@Dragon-Snapper I’m curious—can I ask what your real name is? It’s not top secret dragonian intelligence is it? 😉

@emma-flournoy Well, that’s just the thing, it is dragonian intelligence. Lost among mountains and mountains of scrolls. Sorry.
@Dragon-Snapper Ah. I shall inquire no further. Wouldn’t do to get on a dragon’s bad side, would it, O Chiefest and Greatest of Calamities?

You have nice manners for a thief and a liar. 😛
(Don’t worry, I know you’re neither of those.)

Smaug’s such a great character. 😀
