I haven't updated in, like, forever. x_X And much hath transpired. Let me count most of the stuff.

I got to read a whole lot of books. For one, the rest of the Farseer series (Assasin's Apprentice, Royal Asassin and Asassin's Quest). They rather rocked. Nice amount of worldbuilding, scheming, character building and hyperchaotic mess. The end of book 2 and on were effing wierd, though - but rather interesting.

The Fool ROCKED.

Another book I finally decided to read was Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Okay, it was better than I expected. Unlike the Goblet of Fire, I didn't find any of the segments to be pointless, or overdrawn, but it seems to me that J.K. Rowling has decided to have a habit of systematically killing at least one character per book. Well, he's not quite dead, just inconveniently lost in a void. But still, Sirius WAS one of my favorite characters.

And GOD, Harry became flicking intolerable. For over half the book I almost WISHED that the little angsty prick he's become WOULDN'T have survived whatever encounter he might have with Voldemort. But then again, he's got a seven book contract, the lucky blighter. Oh well.

The last book which is to be noted is a book called "Satan: His Psychotherapy and Cure by the Unfortunate Dr. Kassler, J.S.P.S."

J.S.P.S. stands for "Just Some Poor Schmuck."And the definition DEFINITELY fits Dr. Sy Kassler.

The book itself is told from Satan's point of view, whom (as the title suggests) is having a series of seven therapy sessions. The transcripts of these are interlaced with the story that actually lead to his calling to this realm, the person who brought him there, the circumstances in Dr. Kassler's life that led him to eventually begin Satan's therapy... and altogether the back story.

It was a great combination of facts, insanity, humor, a bit of philosophy, and the occasional segment which made me think the author needed a *really* cold shower. (X_x) But overall, it was good.. I've also watched Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban last saturday (sort of - it was June 12th. :P) What can I say? It wasn't THAT bad. And Buckbeak was awesome. I really loved that Hippogryph. ^^

My last few weeks were fairly uneventful otherwise. Only this week (June 14th-21th) we didn't study, but rather did some rather annoying stuff (generally, some of us were put on sentry duty, others were put on routine cleaning/maintenance jobs and a few of us - of which only I 'survived' without requesting being transferred into one of the other types of work - were put to work in the kitchens/dining rooms, where we mostly did cleaning and sorting things out). Yup, every course gets a week of that nightmare, and that includes Saturday.

That's why I wasn't home last weekend.

However, as it was over today, we got a short time off - we have to get back there tomorrow morning. But then we get out again on Thursday, so it's all good. ^^

'sides, Even being home for just a few hours is better than not being home at all after 7 days of working our tails off.

I've been drawing way too much. But DeviantART won't fugging LOAD. -_-

I'm a bit tired, but what the 'eck. ^^

Time to finish this entry and go do some stuff. X_x
