Not so much.
(Also, the next strip gave me a whole new respect for Elan. Maybe he did get an Intelligence point when he last leveled up?)
And why do I like this strip so much?

Leprechaun costume?
w00t! yayz0r! And some more restrained comments.
First of all, lets get all this emotion out of the way:
Yaaaaaaaaaaaay! “Batman: Year One” by Frank Miller has arrived!
And almost one month before I expected it to come, at that!
Additionally, Year One wasn’t the only thing waiting for me when I came home from Røros last night. SFX #154 had [...]
Religion? No, thank you. Marx? Yes, please.
I was just reading “The Right Nation“, a book about the rise of the American Right, and I came to a passage which said that American conservatives such as Ronald Reagan see the United States as a nation favored by God because of its democratic virtue, and those kinds of things, and that this is [...]
Just popping in…
… to post a kind of a memo to self:
Terje, you prancing ponce, when you get home, and have a moment of respite, check out Hal Duncan’s blog, and his post on elitism, escapism and all that stuff in particular. And for now, please try to pay attention to the nice lady who’s trying her [...]
Damn xkcd…
I just can’t get this strip out of my head. It’s like a bloody Kylie Minogue song.
As are these ones. I mean, here I was, almost having cured myself of my tenebras paranoia, and then this guy gives me raptor phobia instead. Just perfect.
(Remember to read the tool tips.)
Captain Forehead and his wise-cracking incorporeal sidekick, Casper — AS5×2 Just Rewards
An episode dominated entirely by the rivalry between Angel and Spike. Gotta love it. They really do bring out the worst in each other, you know. Can’t really say I have much more to say about this episode. I thought the necromancer (my profession of choice, by the way) was a so-and-so weekly monster, but [...]
I had a dream…
The other night, I actually dreamed about Azureus and downloading. How sick is that?
Pretty damn sick, I guess, but that’s besides the point. If I have one. Which I doubt. Regardless, what I dreamt was that I came home after spending the weekend at my sister’s place, and all 46.87 gigs of Babylon 5 was [...]
It’s so comforting to see familiar faces. At least when they don’t have bumpy foreheads. Which rules out all the new familiar faces in this one, I guess — AS5×1 Conviction
Sigh. Only 21 episodes left.
Anyway, a decent enough episode. Its carrying plot might not be the best one around (as Whedon noted on the commentary, the threat isn’t exposed enough for it to feel real), but the arc’y stuff, both plot and character wise, more than made up for this. Naturally, there was [...]
Oh, and…
… the “Firefly” DVD I had to order because of Loki (okay, so here’s my contribution for the “Worst Excuse of 2007 Award” ) arrived yesterday!
Which means that as soon as I’ve force-fed my sister the last couple of episodes of VM (this show really stands to be watched a second time, I’ve [...]
My protegé seemingly has a good head on him…
… because his views on the first season of Buffy pretty much mirrors my own.
Huh
(Man, I absolutely rock at informative titles! Terje for teh win! I pnz0r U!)
Anyway, it seems as if what all the cool kids are doing these days, is to comment on a list of the 50 best sf/fantasy novels published between 1953 and 2003. And, seeing as I’ve always tried to emulate the cool kids, [...]
I need feedback!
On the sidebar thingies, specifically. I’m a minimalist in my heart of hearts, and I feel that I might have gone against that when I added yet another two thingies to the sidebar.
So, are there too many of them? Can any of them be axed? And what about the way they’re organised? Could they be [...]
Den Brysomme Mannen
Urk, nok en norsk post. Ja, ja. Ikke noen hensikt å skrive på engelsk når jeg anmelder en film som ingen av mine ikke-eksisterende engelsketalende lesere hatt sett.
Uansett, “Den brysomme mannen” var en flott norsk film. Kanskje en av de beste norske jeg har sett.

Nerdenes Rikskringkasting!
Okay, den andre norske posten min på ei uke. Ikke akkurat et så veldig godt tegn at det gjør noe. Men, men.
Uansett, det som denne gangen vekker min entusiasme, som NRK-patriot (jeg ser ikke på andre kanaler) er nyheten om at NRK har kjøpt inn “Heroes” og at de skal begynne å sende serien i [...]
And I thought the American Right consisted of a bunch of nutters…
… but then I actually learned some stuff about the American Left, and I started to wonderr: Maybe there’s a reason why the Right is as it is?
First some background: This last week, I’ve been reading “The Right Nation: Conservative Power In America”, written by a couple of British “Economist” journalists. This is a book [...]
Blade Runner
(Norwegian.)
“Los Angles, 2019.” Thus begins what I would describe as one of the best famous sci-fi movies of all time. Dystopic, philosophical, thrilling — “Blade Runner” (director’s cut) is all that, and more.
“Los Angeles, 2019.” Four androids of the mark Nexus 6, or Replicants, perfect imitations of humans but for a four-year life span as [...]
Concerning categories…
It just struck me, that the intended function of categories is to facilitate the manouverability of the blog; that if readers want to find a specific post, they only have to click the most fitting category, and search.
It also struck me that my overrzealous use of the categories might be undermining this function. Of course, [...]
Knøttliten oppfordring…
Klikk på lenka, les litt, og kanskje skriv under?
Studio 60
I just watched the last couple of episodes of this ingenious show, and I can’t help but grow more and more fond of it.
Jack seems more and more like a moderate version of Cox, they give Masi Oki a “cameo” as himself, and they have some of the best dialogue I’ve seen this side of [...]
