In my Last.fm shoutbox, I was recently asked by one of my readers to post more frequently in my blog, and seeing as your whim is my law, I bring you this: an essay of sorts about the last topic you’d expected me to write about!
One of the things you might not know [...]

A tag created especially for the blogroll. Wether or not it’ll be used in the blog, remains to be seen…
A Plague! A Plague on Our Houses!
Wastin’ money
Be that as it may, seeing as I don’t think I’ll fail any of my exams, I decided to take a quick trip downtown, to visit my favourite purveyors of fine leisure activities.
The first of these was Avalon, also known as Gotham. I was primarily looking for John Scalzi’s Ghost Brigades, but it as turned [...]
Whenever I feel down…
I take a look at this one. And this one. And suddenly things seem a little brighter.
(And I am well aware that I’ve linked to these stripes almost ten times before, but they really are that… man, I got to get around to reading some Jack Vance soon, so that I can learn some new [...]
Couple o’ updates
Two things: (Actually, three things, after my update.)
First of all, I added a new blog to my blogroll. It’s yet another Natse Corma blog, written by someone who calls herself “Eple” (aka. Apple; I wonder if Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow’s daughter have grown up and learned Norwegian ). There’s not many posts this [...]
Random stuff
Alright, I’ve time and time again said that this is supposed to be a rip-off of Loki’s Sensible Nonsense, so here we go — my first real “links of the week“-like post:
This made me want to read the Hobbit again.
A screenshot of my “comics” folder; it gives a good indication of what webcomics [...]
Tonight’s plans:
1. Read the 31 page article “Reinventing Governments: The Promise and Perils of United Nations Peace Building”, praying for a couple of relevant passages to come up in the first couple of pages so that I won’t have to read the entire thing.
2. Define concepts, beginning with the Realist school of IR theory, its views [...]
Jack Sparrow Is A Faggot
(Note: All of my reviews strive after a spoiler-free ideal, but utopia’s a faraway place, so I give no guarantees.)
Joker, one of the main characters of “Full Metal Jacket“, which I saw last night, was played by Matthew Modine, Tonight, I watched “Cutthroat Island“, a pirate flick from 1995, and guess who played the main [...]
Tribute To A Tool
“I’m a tool. I’m a tool. A tool, tool, tool.”
A line from the first episode of Scrubs, season 1. But it’s not that tool I’ll praise here, but a much more useful one: The Google Define Search.
The what? you might ask. Well, the Google Define Search, is a practical little function of Google, where you [...]
Neat words, part 1
Okay, I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m gonna start collecting neat words, that I use a lot. This’ll be a project for both improvement (seeing as I’ll hopefully find out what words I use too much, and what I can replace them with — suggestions are welcome, by the way) and self-insight. Two-in-one. Neat.
1. [...]
