Figured I'd get one more entry in before February ends. I know I don't have much of a blogger's reputation, but I need to have at least three entries for the month to save some face. That phrase is a little strange, don't you think? Who would be losing parts of their face to reveal a less reputable being beneath? I'll tell you who.
Ghouls.
I'm reading the next Dresden Files book, and one of the antagonists is a man with Chinese features called Li Xian. Naturally, they refer to him only as Xian. He's a ghoul, a monster that feeds on the flesh of people, and so whenever he gets particularly emotional his monstrous face sort of stretches beneath his human facade. Also, he had half of his false face ruined when Harry (Dresden) blasted him through a plywood door, across the street, and into a brick wall with a gale of magical wind. Unfortunately, every time the ghoul Xian is mentioned I don't imagine a chinese guy with a pony-tail and glasses. Instead I imagine a white guy with curly brown hair, thick eyebrows and glasses, who is thrown through plywood walls and throws ninja stars at White Council wizards. Honestly, it makes me feel far more sympathy for the creature than I rightly should feel, since he intends to eat the protagonist and plays bitch to some psychotic necromancer-woman.
Well, this little blog was just meant to distract me just that much longer from homework that I don't want to do, but I need to be prepared for that quiz tomorrow and Frost's poems aren't going to write about themselves.
