    I was watching the "swordplay" and couldn't help but feel that it wasn't very good swordplay. Then I realized why. I wasn't watching bad swordplay, I was watching bad baton twirling.

    Also, now that e-Books and print-on-demand is becoming more prevalent the likelihood of stories having to meet x number of pages before they'll be let out the door is declining. The molds are starting to crack and crumble and before you know it they'll be gone and the distinction will simply be between serials/periodicals and completed works. The benefits of large scale production is hitting up low marginal costs to where it just isn't a big deal anymore.

    Sword twirly girl is attractive, but she's got a creepy intensity to her, and on top of that appears to be dressed in cosplay, so she's definately a nutter.

    I bet her boyfriend is 25 years her senior and regularly wears a utilikilt.

    Also, I bet all of her furniture is hand-me-down but she owns the completed works of Terry Goodkind.

    There was a guy in the art department that wore those in the middle of Eastern Washington winters.

    In unrelated news, that phrase "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing"? Totally applies to photoshop.

    I concur with this analysis although I think we're a decade out from the tide really turning

    While I find child beauty pageants and such really creepy, I don't feel that way about athletics.

    12 old girl can twirl better than just about anyone else on earth. Why should she wait 6 years to show off just because Preacher can't keep his hand out of his pants?

    No reason.

    She owns more than three species of pets, one of which lives in a tank that hasn't been cleaned in three months.

    She spends half the year preparing for Ren Faire and the other half of the year recovering from Ren Faire.

    Her 1993 Corolla has bumper stickers reading "Blessed Be" and "Not All Who Wander Are Lost." At least one of those stickers in printed in Papyrus.

    Her D&D character has more work experience than she does.
