I've finished reading Outbound Flight by now, naturally. (Though it took FAR longer than it should have...stupid super busy schedule... ) I must say, it was very enjoyable. The whole thing was typical of Zahn's Star Wars work--very well done. Well, perhaps not the whole thing. I did have one thing against the book: Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker were present, but their presence did not seem to flow, as Zahn's other work did...it seemed...forced. My guess is that he was told to put them in there by Lucas's people. If it wasn't for that, I guess it would have really been almost entirely OCs. xD But canonical OCs by now, pretty much. Hooray for a young Commander Thrawn. XD
I recommend it highly. Though, I suppose you'd enjoy it more if you read Timothy Zahn's Thrawn Trillogy first (Heir to the Empire, Dark Force Rising, and The Last Command).

<begins randomness>.....You know what...I kind of like Quantum Leap. XDDD Sure, I've only seen several eps, but it's so weird it's amusing most of the time. XD Not always, but generally. It's very cheesy and....just...weird. XD

Prismacolor is holding an art contest....The grand prize is 5,000 dollars, plus 500 donated to the art charity of your choice... That's one sweet prize, especially for someone who just spent a decent little penny on an art table. (Thank God though, I got it for a fantastic deal.) I could really use that money. The only problem is...I have no idea what I would draw! It cannot belong to someone else, naturally (characters/subjects, I mean), it cannot have been created prior to six months back, and must meet certain standards...*sighs*
And not just that, but they get rights on your art when you submit it, so they can do with it as they wish, pretty much.
...But I could really use that cash. Any ideas, folks? They would be greatly appreciated--especially if they are good. Any entry by me would probably be in pen or pen and marker, but perhaps I could use charcoal or a pen/charcoal mix....

...I've forgotten other bits of randomness.
Oh...here's another. I'm trying to re-work my journal to make it cooler/easier to read...but dA is being stupid. So I doubt it will work. Ah well.
