timerippleWhoa. Have just finished The Tower at Stony Wood. Am somewhat numb. That was weird! I must re-read.
Thayne Ysse, you twerp! You turned your brother over to the dragon in the end after all! Even if you did figure things out eventually. Poor Craiche, he doesn't understand, nobody tells him anything, and everybody wants him for their own nefarious purposes! At least, that's what we're supposed to think. He's just so... so... gah, lost for words. And that was one strange dragon. Talk about manipulative beings with god-like powers! *sigh* Oh, how I love this book. I think. Melanthos and Sel are way cool. But I think Anyon is another of those who just doesn't get it, although he's all right. Cyan Dag, the other hand, is totally my hero.
Temperatures are in the mid-90's F and rising. Have found some lyrics for MacCrimmon's Lament. It remains to be seen if they're reputable, but since the source had both the Gaelic and a translation, I'm inclined to think favorably of them.

Date: 2004-06-19 02:37 pm (UTC)i saw a small book of sea chanties in the store in inverness where i bought my fiddlebook (speaking of which, i don't remember which one i got, and i left it at home, with my fiddle :( but hopefully my mom will be sending both to me soon and then i can tell you), but i decided not to get it since i assumed i'd be learning a lot at mystic.
fiona, farenheit 911 is coming out on the 25th - go see it! i don't know how he got it distributed, but he did, and i saw the trailer (somewhere at michaelmoore.com), and it looks awesome, despite the fact that i usually don't like michael moore.
i haven't been doing much fiddling, due to my separation from my fiddle, but i've been singing a lot from the scottish songbooks i got, and there's some really exciting ones allie and i started learning in scotland that we can add to our chuffed collection :)

Date: 2004-06-20 06:17 am (UTC)haven't found that out yet, & yeah, that one's really long. the one i learned was much shorter & am quite sure they don't sing the entire thing. also finally remembered the tune, at least for the chorus. :)
glad to hear that everyone's doing well. one week down, 3 to go before i head out to sea!
