I just finished reading The King's Fifth by Scott O'Dell. I heard that the anime series The Mysterious Cities of Gold was loosely based off of it--I barely remember the show, but I don't recall liking it very much. ^^;;; I actually liked The King's Fifth quite a bit, in particular the portrayal of Zia. It's refreshing to find a book where the female lead is neither a hand-clasping damsel nor a Xena, Warrior Princess wannabe, but from what I've been reading about The Mysterious Cities of Gold anime they couldn't resist making her into a frequently kidnapped damsel. I can imagine that the kiddies would find The King's Fifth to be boring, as it's historical fiction and definitely not fantasy, but I'm not a kiddie, so I liked it.

I finally finished the rooting part of all my rerooting commissions. I just need to cut the hair on one of the dolls and give the other two a style and a trim. I've been delaying one of the heads because my brother ran off with the styling gel I typically use for my work and it's too expensive to buy another tube, ha ha! I should have it back by today.

My writing has been coming along a little too slowly. I need to stop thinking about writing and actually do it.
