Pseudo-Amazonic
This scene, from the movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, besides being cool in itself, is probably also the closest scene in setup and concept to an Amazonic duel that I've run across. The whole Chinese mystique is different, obviously, and their fighting style (or perhaps I should say the filming and editing style) rather different than what I would envision for the Amazoni, which is only to be expected. However, two women going at it hammer and tongs in a flat enclosed space with a rack of weapons to choose from is still a rather similar concept.
Interesting that I've never seen the film, nor had I stumbled across this clip until just yesterday.
Elana could have lifted that big battle-axe no problem, though. ;-)

Some Dates!
God willing, these are some of the things I have to look forward to this year. :-D
End of January: I finish Kiriana.
February 2: I watch Groundhog Day.
April 1: I pull the biggest fast one on all my friends by not fooling anyone.
Late May: I finish high school. 0_o
June 20: I turn 19. (??!!!?!!?)
July 12: God willing and my essays impress, I begin a twelve-day sojourn in Italy, of all the awesome places.
Late August: I drive 2300 miles, do a doughnut on College St., and take a flying leap into my dorm to begin matriculation at Hillsdale College.
And of course after that, we assume, I'll be working my tail off most days. :)

Family, friends, and--band saws? :-)
Last week I was able to bum around in California for 8 days, during which a lot of fun things happened. Some of the highlights include hanging out with Mom and Robert; seeing a very curious play called You, Nero; shopping at America's third largest shopping mall, the South Coast Plaza Shopping Center, and getting Walk the Line and a dandy sweater thereat; discovering that I could watch the latest Sarah Connor Chronicles online; and hanging out with the 'staffes in central California on my way back, which included a very large number of fun things, including a burst of Kirianic creativity, multiplicitous conversations, soccer, frisbee, bocce ball, and two visits to their family and friends. 'Twas a good trip whose main flaw was insufficient length. :-)
For the record, Kiriana is probably 2-3 chapters from completion. *pause* That's pretty awesome, now that I think about it. :D
As for the band saw part, my grandpa taught me some of the basics of using one yesterday, and it was quite fun. I cut up a nice pile of sticks and branches for future use as kindling, and lost no digits or limbs in the process, so I consider it a success. I am to learn some more of its complex secrets before long, and eventually, a variety of other skills related to woodworking, electricity, plumbing, and car maintenance. I'm hopeful that by the time I have my own house, I won't have to scratch my head and immediately call somebody if a light fixture goes out, or some such like. ;-)
By the way, as an afterthought, I think a movie of Kiriana would be rated R simply for body count, letting alone the actual level of violence. (Actually maybe not, considering that the Lord of the Rings body count is probably 500,000.) But still, I was writing a scene where the question of how many people my protagonist and her most potent ally have killed was raised--and it's a lot. A number that seems to be rivaled only by the number of individual wounds these characters have received in the process. :P
Cheerio!
