Nearly finished with Good Omens by Neil Gaiman & TerryPratchett. Not sure what I will start next, hopefully I wil be as entertained though =).

"Magic is what makes fantasy fantastic," someone says, "you can't apply rules to them or else it loses wonder!" I respond, "Sure, but if you want to write them you will certainly want to know how they work." Writing is all about execution, and I find applying some basic laws of physics to magic systems make them more understandable and realistic. Here, I'm going to outline my basic method for developing a magic system.

That is a lot of people!
My name is Jason Salomone. I live in Flagstaff, AZ currently but was born in Queens, New York. I graduated with my BA from The University of Arizona. I double Majored in Psychology and Linguistics. I currently manage a rent-a-car location in Sedona, AZ. Not exactly what I want to be doing, but am currently taking time off whiel I study for the GRE. Hoping to figure out what it is that I want.
I consider myself a bit of a Renaissance Geek. Not in the sense that if you looked in my house you would mistake the year for 15XX (though I do know some people who are like that), but in the more original sense of the word. If you could consider it geeky, I probably have done it or still do it at this point. From band, drama, speech, writing, reading, computer building, video gaming, trvia gaming, CCGs, RPGs, tabletopping, etc.
Also thought I should mention that I was directed over to this site from Writing Excuses. never posted over there because I felt like I would have just been talking to talk. When I saw they had a put up a forum for the weekly prompts I figured it would be a good excuse to try and start writing again. Maybe actually improve myself and finish a project I have putting off for a while. But that all made too much sense...

Movies and TV / Re: review: The Dark Knight
« on: August 13, 2008, 07:17:41 PM »
I am not sure if anyone I know was expecting this movie to be quite this deep and dark. Overall that gave the whole thing a great experience to come away from. There were things about the movie that definitely made me less than thrilled that they happened. However, the one thing that keeps on ringing in my brain when I think back to this movie is what I said after we walked out of the theater, "Apparenly Heath Ledger was in that film...not really sure where though."
