Let me just start out this review by saying that “Band of Brothers” is a fantastic miniseries. That is a fact that cannot be disputed by anyone, and if you’re looking for a more realistic portrayal of what WWII was for the American Airborne, then you’d better get to working on that time machine of [...]

The Rebellious Quote of the Day
“The most dangerous man, to any government, is the man who is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane and intolerable, and so, if he is romantic, he tries to change [...]
Cover Art Galore
Thanks to Calibandar, who sometimes pops by this blog, for making me aware that Gollancz had put up the cover art for “Blood of Elves” by Andrzej Sapkowski. This is the second book in the series about “Geralt the Witcher”, and it’s due out in September. It’s been one of my most anticipated reads ever [...]
Weeds, Seasons 1-3
Most comedies are generally fun in one way or the other. After all, that’s their purpose in life, but not all comedies go beyond that superficial pleasing feeling that laughter gives you. “Scrubs” doesn’t, and neither does “How I Met Your Mother” - two of the very best shows in the genre that are still [...]
Iron Man

And… We’re Back!
Which, frankly, is something you should’ve noticed by now.
The host switch seems to have run smoother than I thought.
There are some hiccups yet to sort out…
Like the fact that I can’t blog with my usual Firefox browser,
but that’s a minor and temperoray inconveniance at worst.
Or that I can’t string together sentences in a paragraph form,
because the right side of the blog eats the punchlines up.
Maybe I’ll have to switch blog theme…
Aside from that though, I haven’t got any complaints.
There are a lot of cute new buttons to play with, and I’ll get around to pressing ‘em when I’m off work.
I’ll also do some Iron Man bloggery (that every nerd should look forward to).
It’s good to be back :)
