I was having a chat the other day with Fri’gnol-Ma’rtka’al, an elf buddy of mine from the town
of “Really Bad Self-Published Fantasy Novel.” He was complaining about aging (damn, he’s only 120!) and how his pointy ears aren’t as erect as they used to be.
I don’t have that problem. If anyone tells you different, they lie.
So, me and Fri’gnol-Ma’rtka’al were talking about modern medicine and advancements in cyber stuff, nanotechnology, robotic doctors… that kinda thing.
He thought it wouldn’t really matter if humans got fixed up with robot parts; they’re pretty much robots already, just complain more, he said. Me? I think some things are better off left alone. Leave the machines to fix the machines is what I say.
The fellas in this picture here are naturally occurring creatures from the planet Zercite-X82. No one is really sure how they breed, but there seems to be a bunch of ‘em, especially in junkyards. They fix stuff… badly for the most part. But they just can’t help trying to fix stuff, or build something new.
“A lot like humans,” says my elfish friend. Yeah. I guess he might have something there.

This enjoyable and touching biography of martial-arts film star Bruce Lee stars Jason Scott Lee (no relation), an actor with a lively face and natural intensity, who makes every moment of this film compelling. Directed by Rob Cohen, Dragon traces Bruce Lee’s slow rise over myriad obstacles–most of them race-based–to become an international superstar in films. Lee’s origins are oddly set in San Francisco instead of his real home in Seattle, but then again there is plenty of artistic license going on as Cohen explores the actor’s psyche through some powerful fantasy sequences. Lauren Holly is good as Lee’s wife, Linda (whose book about her late husband inspired this movie). A scene involving Bruce’s rescue of son Brandon (who died in a filmmaking accident in 1993) from a murderous spirit is plain spooky. The special-edition DVD release has a widescreen presentation, director interview, featurette, screen tests, closed captioning, optional French soundtrack, a (more…)
yths and legends from many corners of the globe include tales of magical birds. Three of the more popular tales include the Garuda bird, the Thunder bird, and the Roc. Whether symbolic or inspired by actual creatures, these five mythological birds amaze and delight.
Birds of Myth and Legend – The Phoenix
Most people are aware of the amazing regenerative properties of the phoenix, or firebird. This mystical bird was described in many ancient cultures from Phonecia, Egypt, ancient China, and even Africa. It was used in Christianity as a symbol of the rebirth and ressurection of Jesus Christ as well. This bird is usually described as gold and red. It lives for 1,000 years and then bursts into flames and dies to be reborn from the ashes.

Well, since I’m a pretty active dragon, I thought a blog would serve me better than a static web page. Melanie agrees. Though, quite frankly, if she didn’t, it wouldn’t matter.
This is my cave. Come on in. Make yourselves comfortable. Don’t touch my stuff.
