In which I continue to geek out

You know, Wells actually kind of reminds me of Brahms. They both work in established forms, and aren't really trying to revolutionize or re-invent anything; they just step up and rock as hard as they can within the form they've chosen. (And as you can see, I've been indulging in both of them simultaneously.)

Also? The things she's been doing with the Gardier here in the beginning of the book are a lot like what I'm doing with the Flock, and I'm finding it really reassuring. It's like, "Thank GOD, that trick actually does work." Or can work. You know. Of course, now I'll have to steer out of my way to not rip off her implementation.

(Also! Am I just trippin' in thinking that "Gardier" sounds way too much like "Grandier" to be a coincidence?)

No, once I finished Element of Fire and re-read the first few chapters of Wizard Hunters, I noticed that as well. I neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed to finish reading those books - thanks again for setting up that coincidence!

I'm reading a biography of Brahms at the moment. The dude is awesome. Did you know he had a really high pitched voice and would constantly try to pitch it lower than natural? Apparently when he got really excited he would slip and his voice would crack.
