This is just a quick notification regarding what I’ll be doing the next week, and how this will affect my blogging and general availability.
I’m leaving the country tonight to go on a trip with my classmates to the great and mighty nations of Poland and Germany. The main aim of the trip is to educate [...]

Into the Wild, Horrible Past
‘Chuck’ & ‘Kyle XY’ Made Me Enjoy ‘Life’
‘Chuck’ is in parts an awesome show, and in other parts, well… not that awesome, really.
But that doesn’t stop me from liking the hell out of it. This is a show about a nerd named Chuck that one day receives an e-mail from his former best friend that contains all the CIA’s and NSA’s top [...]
Last Argument of Kings by Joe Abercrombie
The Word is ‘Epic’
I am not in the habit of admitting fault. It feels like loosing, and I hate losing, so whenever I’m wrong about something (which I never am!), I tend to make up silly excuses till the rightful party gives up and walks away. Yes, I know; that’s a terribly childish way to [...]
The Hugo Award Nominees
The Hugo Awards are alongside the World Fantasy Award, Nebula and a couple of others, the most prestigious awards for a genre work. Now, I don’t actually give much of a damn who wins - I think I’d have to be involved in ‘em for that to happen - but I like to see my [...]
Doomsday Weather Forecast
Easter is, for obvious reasons, an especially nice time of year to have a rockin’ Ragnarok, so I thought it prudent to prowl teh intarwebs for some signs of the oncoming End. This is what I came up with:
…Terry Goodkind’s epic fantasy series, ‘Wizard’s First Rule’ gets the greenlight for a 22 episodes long season. [...]
‘How I Met Your Mother’
I know what you’re thinking: How the hell did I meet your mother? Well, boys and girls, that’s a story for another time and another place (I couldn’t condone such dirty material to be published on this blog anyway) . In stead, let’s take the time to hear how ‘Ted Mosby’ met his wife, which [...]
Psych, Season 2
You’ve got two options, and sadly, they’re both thoroughly clichéd. On one hand you’ve got the easy way where I quick and succinctly sum up season 2 of Psych in one sentence and leave it at that. Or, you can point wildly at the other hand and jump up and down ’till I unleash its [...]
I Am Legend (No, Really!)
Will Smith movies aren’t generally what you’d call master pieces. Some of them actually suck quite a lot (i.e”Wild, Wild West”, “Bad Boys 2″), but they always manage to entertain me as a viewer, and that’s more than what I can of some other Big Movie Stars (yes, I’m looking at you, Tom Cruise, you [...]
Inside Straight by George R. R. Martin & Various
‘It’s a bird! It’s a plane! No, it’s — A Swarm of Wasps?’
I’m wary about reading superhero comics, but for some reason that phobia doesn’t apply to prose novels about the same subject. This may very well have something to do with Austin Grossman’s fantastically entertaining superhero spoof, “Soon I Will Be Invincible”, which nearly [...]
But Mostly It’s Because of the Beer
I’m eighteen today!
So generally it’s a big, mad mess made purely out of “Yay!”, “Hurray” and “Way-to-go, you’re-no-longer-a-kiddo” around here. Celebrities are flying in from all over the world and I’m pretty sure that Neil Gaiman and Scott Lynch have prepared some spectacular toasts wherein they discuss the utter brilliance and near-deityness of ME. There [...]
