With just over a day left in the month, I have about 99% of my bandwidth left to burn. It would be a shame to let that go to waste. So, welcome to episode one of something that may or may not become a semi-regular feature on this weblog: “Did I play that?”
As you might [...]
So. Harry Potter and the Deadly Hallows. How does it end? Let me tell you:
After a quick sweep through the wizarding world and just the slightest bit of luck (who’d imagine a simple spell like “accio Horcruxes” would work?), Harry and his friends gather the last remaining Horcruxes, artifacts created by Dark Magic and containing [...]
Richard Bachman died in 1985 of cancer of the pseudonym, shortly after releasing his novel Thinner. In 1995, another book was unearthed, a novel called The Regulators, which had remarkable similarities to Desperation by Stephen King, that was released at the same time.
Now, in 2007, another one of Bachman’s early novels has resurfaced. Blaze tells [...]
One of the things this website still misses, besides a decent layout, is an archive section with my old weblog. If there was one, I could have linked to the posts covering the first two parts in Russell Kirkpatrick’s Fire of Heaven trilogy. So here’s the summary: in Across the Face of the World, the [...]

One of the things that I did get to enjoy, was what’s finished of Gaudí’s Sagrada Familia. [...]
Sweet Holy Mother of All Things Bright and Shiny… I’m connected to the interwebs.
As they say, third time’s a charm. I bloody well hope so.
In other news, it looks like I might have internet at home tomorrow. This is the cue for the technical support team to go into hiding: I got your number, and I’m not afraid to use it.
Long story short, I had a great time in Budapest. And that shouldn’t surprise anyone, since I always seem to have a great time when I’m on some sort of holiday.
But anyway, in the long version I arrived in Budapest early in the afternoon of June 26, 2007. After dropping my luggage at the apartment, [...]
And it looks like I’ve got to wait another couple of days before I have an internet connection at home. They’ve upgraded my order to a “spoed bestelling”, but I guess when they are in a hurry, you’d still have to wait up to ten days for delivery.
Anyway, Budapest was nice, Vámpírok Bálja was very [...]
