How is everybody doing? (Just so you know, I just figured out that I can move pictures around on a post!)
Well, first of all I just got a new bed for the room I'm going to have! It's a "captain's bed" and it's made of white-washed pine. It's really great because it has storage beneath it--four drawers and a little cabinet. (The room that I will be living in isn't very big--but it will be my own!)
I just saw King Kong (the pictures on this post are from that movie). It was really good. The first part was a little long but...There was also a part that really freaked me out (it involves giant bugs). That's beside the point, though. The special effects were great (of course! This is a Peter Jackson--a.k.a. director of LOTR--movie!) I thought it was interesting that ate certain parts the movie seemed to refer to elements, people, etc. From the 1933 version of King Kong. You may notice it, too, and then again you may not.
Here is some King Kong trivia:
~The guy (Adrien Brody, see above picture, guy on the left) who played the writer, Jack Driscoll played Noah Percy (the mentally handicapped guy) in The Village. (He actually looks handsome in King Kong.) (Random thought: he has a pretty crooked nose--oh! I just found out why. Here's what I read on IMDB.com: He was furious when his nose was broken during the final fight in "Summer of Sam", but when he had it fixed, he didn't change it. That nose is now Brody's most identifying feature and sets him apart from other actors.)
~The guy (Andy Serkis) that played Gollum in LOTR plays King Kong (really, he does) and Lumpy (the guy with one eye closed all/most of the time).
I went to get my hair cut and Adam (a friend of my family and the guy who does our hair) said something that was kind of bizarre. Just the day before I had been noticing that there was a piece of my hair that was shorter than the rest (and didn't have layers in my hair). Adam said that it looked like a bunch of my hair fell out and then (about 5 months ago) started to grow back! So, some of my hair fell out! Weird, huh?
Okay, I would like your opinion(s) on this. I wrote a story a while back called "Shadow of the Mountain". It's genre is fantasy and I created a sort of language for the imaginary world that I had made. I just went back and I have decided to change the story but to also, I think, change the language. That means that the characters will have different names and that the places will have different names. At the moment the name of the main character (a girl, of course) is Loais (it means "special"). Can you pronounce it? I've been saying it this way: "LOW-AYSS". If I change the language, I believe I shall call her A'endra Nuga (mostly just called A'endra), which means "wealthy life". At the moment the "love interest's" (no, this is not a completely "lovey dovey" story--it takes place in a camp where a unit(?) of soldiers are living during a war) name is Kael Eith (KAYL EETH, "keeps oath") but if I change the language he may become Na'ets-Vela (NAYTZ veh-luh, "leads many"). The villainess who is now Laathol Nom could become Droah (DROH-uh, "flower"). The country where the main girl (Loais/A'endra) lives could go from Ei-Shael (EE-SHAYL, "oak trees") to Reuad (ROO-add, "quiet"). Any thoughts? Which do you like better--the first language or the latter one? I just wanted an opinion on this from someone--besides myself, I guess. (LOL)
Well, I've written a lot now.
PLEASE COMMENT!
Bye!
