this is a quick follow-up to my most recent entry (about 30 minutes ago). after checking things over at Wikipedia, i realized that How to Train Your Dragon is actually the first of a 6-book series (for now) by British author Cressida Cowell.
The other 5 books are:
How to Be a Pirate
How to Speak Dragonese
How to Cheat a Dragon's Curse
How to Twist a Dragon's Tale
A Hero's Guide to Deadly Dragons
the hero of this series, Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third, continues to find interesting adventures in subsequent books, along with his dragon Toothless and his best friend Fishlegs. Hiccup is a bit unusual for a Viking in that he is more inclined to use his brains than his brawn to solve his problems. He's not really a wimp mind you, he just doesn't believe in the usual rough-and-tumble stuff that every self-respecting Viking berserker seems to delight in. This of course does not necessarily endear him to his muscle-bound and brawling peers, but he eventually gets things done.
at any rate, here are a few Dragonese phrases that might come in handy should you ever stumble into a dragon one of these days.
Nee-ahh crappa inna di hoosus, pishyu. (No poo-ing inside the house, please)
Mi Mama no likeit yum-yum on di bum. (My mother doesn't like to be bitten on the bottom.)
Pishyu keendlee gobba oot mi freeundlee? (Please would you be so kind as to spit my friend out?)
Doit a wummertime. (Let's try that again.)
have fun.
by the way, DreamWorks Animation has bought the adaptation rights to How to Train Your Dragon, which will be released on november 20, 2009.
a nurse-in-waiting hoping to pass my time in comfortable and relative obscurity. in the meantime, i'm turning to blogging...
stinelli is in the house -- when she's not too busy somewhere else. i'm still focusing on my board exams (please wish me luck), so until then i'll just be mostly concentrating on my other interests: reading & travel.
To acquire the habit of reading
is to construct for yourself a refuge
from almost all of the miseries of life.
