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 [...]

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 :)
On the Down Low
My web mistress, the incomparable Zhayena, has informed me that she moving the host onto a new server tomorrow morning due to some stability issues with the one we’re currently on. She’s also adding and upgrading all sorts of undoubtedly cool stuff that I’m curious to see how pans out.
This will entail a couple of [...]
This Is an International ‘Yay Me!’ Day
I, Amras ‘the Great’ Elensar, hereby declare today an international ‘Yay Me!’ day.
This is in accordance with the Laws of Yayness* which clearly states that any person who feels especially yay-worthy or thoroughly awesome, may declare themselves a limited** number of ‘Yay-Days’ to celebrate an especially epic feat that they’ve recently accomplished. You may also [...]
Shades of Grey
I promised you guys an entry about my recent trip down horrible lane, though it was originally slotted to be posted a lot sooner than now. So to remedy this grievance, I will post some of the pictures I took on the trip and I’ll also add an essay-like thing I wrote for my Norwegian [...]
Diagnosed With ‘Comic Fever’
It always surprises me how much it sucks to be sick.
Because it looks so damned comfortable from the outside looking in. Yes, I don’t have to go to school, and yes, I can pretty much do anything I want to while I’m making the best of efforts to blow my brains out through my nose. [...]
In Delirium
Hello, guys!
I’m back from a long and eventful trip. In fact, it was so eventful that I feel like I haven’t slept a second for the past week, though that may also have something to do with the cough-a-lot-itis I contracted whilst I was, apparently, not sleeping.
And someone, somehow, seems to have managed to switch [...]
Into the Wild, Horrible Past
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 [...]
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. [...]
