1. I just wrote a new page, entitled “Buffysodes”, on which I’ve put links to all my quasi reviews of Buffysodes. In time, it might be renamed to just “’sodes” or something, and have links to more reviews, but for now this is all there is. It’s primarily written as a service to my sister, [...]

Everyone should collect things. Me? I collect fantasy literature, comics, DVDs of various genres, and books, more generally speaking. Oh, and CDs. Gotta remember the CDs. Of various genres, of course. Pluralism rocks.
“Faster Than A Speeding Bullet: The Rise of the Graphic Novel”
I read this quick little introduction to the history of graphic novels on Thursday, and I gotta say it was quite good. Naturally, I’m not too versed in the history of these things myself, but the book didn’t seem to disagree with what little I knew from earlier.
First there was a couple of chapters dealing [...]
The Laurence Hutton Collection of Life and Death Masks
Wow. Just wow.
I feel all giddy inside — Ultimate X-Men “Tomorrow’s People” #1-6
Wow, that was one hell of an introduction. Quite a bit different from what I expected, but seeing as my expectations were largely built upon the goodnes that are the X-Men films, that was to be expected. The relationships between the characters were somewhat different, although not altogether dissimilar, as were some backgrounds and such. [...]
Drool…
When I get the start-of-semester study loan next January, this is what I’ll use it on. And the fact that it costs more than half a month’s rent be damned.
And then, when I can afford it, this one‘ll be bought.
After all, even though BS1-7 costs NOK 1700 and AS1-5 costs NOK 1250, I’ve gotta have [...]
First impressions of “Heroes of Might and Magic V”
After looking for it for several months, I finally found and bought “Heroes of Might and Magic V“. I’ve played it for maybe 7-10 hours, in a hot-seat game where I control all the players, and I must say that me initial reactions are less than positive.
First of all, it’s buggy like hell. During the [...]
My collection is growing :D
Today’s catch:
Ultimate X-men vol. 1-3
The Ultimates vol. 1
Batman: The Long Halloween
Katharine Kerr - The Red Wyern
Ditto - The Black Raven
Ditto - The Fire Dragon
Additionally, I got “The Call of Chtulhu”, some kind of Lovecraftian d20 RPG from the Chtulhu Mythos, for free, because I spent so much money. How’s that for service?
And by [...]
Giddyness
I’m all giddy with expectations. Today, I bought volume 6 of the hardcover collection of Ultimate X-Men, and the guy in the shop said that the other books I ordered (vols. 1-3) would arrive tomorrow (technically today). Additionally, vols. 4-5 should be on their way from amazon.
And I’m really looking forward to reading these things. [...]
Grrr. Argh.
Wow, two popcultural references as heading for two posts in a row! That’s quite something, isn’t it?
(EDIT: As Loki has so kindly pointed out, this is wrong.)
Anyway, this “grr. argh” is an attempt at phrasing my annoyance. And why am I annoyed this time?
Yesterday, I went on a small pilgrimage to Trondheim’s best fantasy [...]
A cunning plan…
… or maybe not.
Anyway, last night, after returning home after my visit, well, home, I thought I’d lay down and watch a DVD on my laptop. However, I have a small problem. Most of my DVDs, I’ve seen like 20 times, at least the fun ones. But I also have some 15-20 movies on DVD [...]
Finally! My Antiquity Collection Is Complete!
Today, after looking for Thucydides‘ “The History of the Peloponnesian War” for over a year, I finally found it!
This means that I’ve finally completed my collection of what I consider to be the pearls of Hellas, which in addtition to Thucydides’ masterpiece includes Plato’s “The Republic“, Herodotus‘ “Histories” and and Xenophon’s “The Persian [...]
