For my stories, I come up with random words that I think would sound nice as names. I try to stick with words that I think are nonsensical.
But then when I go to research names, sometimes one of my made-up names shows up as an actual name.
And sometimes they even show up in other movies or books.
Huh.
Grizzly bear
Black bear
I listen to audiobooks whenever I drive to or from work. Usually I check out the CDs at the library, because they have a wider selection than the digital copies. But I check out the digital ones too. My phone doesn't connect to my car though, so I just have to play it loudly from my phone.
Once I got all the way to work, and realized that I'd forgotten to turn on my phone. The fact that it took me over half an hour to notice doesn't speak well for the book I was listening too. Ironic, because I had enjoyed this book in middle school.

I like posting photos I've taken at the zoo. Although I take more than I should really put on the blog, even when I'm only posting my favorites. The problem is, I won't use any of my photos for a few weeks (or months). Then I end up throwing a bunch out all at once.
Is it too much?
Would it work better if I posted them fewer at a time, more consistently? Or is that probably still too much?
TT^TT
I've been a little emotional lately.
I was working on a painting of Cheza, from Wolf's Rain (It turned out really well but I used glossy paint, so my computer can't really scan it). I watched a pretty music video with clips of her, to help me with reference pictures. And I'm watching her and the wolves, and just start thinking, "they're so beautiful!"
And I watched the first live action Rurouni Kenshin. Seeing Kenshin fight to protect his friends, I think, "he's so beautiful!"
I'm currently reading Robin McKinley's version of Beauty and the Beast, and thinking of the movie versions of Beast. While I much prefer the design of the animated Beast, the actor for the live-action is amazing too. So I'm thinking of both of versions and going, "he's so beautiful!"
And there's the Wolverine prequel, where he gets his claws. Someone he trusted apparently betrayed him. But when he heard the circumstances, he forgave her. And held out his hand to offer his assistance. And then there's me going, "he's so beautiful!"
Yeahhh, I've been a bit emotional lately.
