Hm interesting, I didn’t know that there are Predaliens. Towards the end of AVP(1), a Predator was impregnated by a face hugger and erupted a Predalien when the Predator ship was leaving Earth. This new Predalien has new abilities like being able to produce more Aliens (or Xenomorphs), bigger badder stronger. and lots of other [...]
M. Jean Paul Sartre’s The Age of Reason. Ok well I haven’t read anything this literary in some time. The characters lead such insane and unbelievable lives. Ah well I shouldn’t reveal the plot, but anyway it’s not very complicated. It’s their thoughts-out-loud that are so mind-boggling. Not one of my favourite books, but still [...]
The GEP reading lists bring back wonderful memories. David Copperfield by Charles Dickens, did I read that? Somehow I cannot remember. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn & Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain. Both of them under the theme of self-determination and individual control of destiny. Intriguing. Somehow I never remembered them being classified into themes. [...]
i guess France, being such a large country, has many different newspapers, but this classification taken from the Lonely Planet guide entertained me to no end:
Le Figaro - centre-right, aimed at professionals, businesspeople and the bourgeoisie
Le Monde - centre-left, popular with professionals and intellectuals
France Soir - right-wing, working and middle-class
Libération - left wing, popular with [...]
Anna Gravalda’s novel, which was bought after watching the movie. i suppose it’s the first time i’ve actually attempted reading a full blooded French work. helps a lot that i know roughly what the story is.
It feels insane, rather. Ppl look at you weirdly or incredulously and ask that you can actually understand all that. [...]
friday saturday sunday monday and other
indeterminably long days
just how many days are there in the week
or was it a month or a year.
but probably its a lifetime.
one inexorably long life of days
eight thousand and thirty five days
or perhaps just thirty five
after awhile, there are only so many yesterdays
and only one tomorrow left
took a little walk. the first thing that cheered me up was the the escalator going out of Orc Hard Mrt was broken down. You know, the one that goes to the main street level facing Tangs. So there was this silly queue of people walking up that escalator, and another silly queue of people [...]
hm what’s been happening, i actually spent 5 days slacking around in camp. sometimes army camps are such adventure, it’s like trying to find out how much you can slack or run away from things, without real consequences. how do you actually motivate someone to do something, sometimes it’s just impossible.
lotro’s stagnating, maybe it’s the [...]
That day in Helegrod i won the roll for this Zaudru’s Crimson Mandible, which is the drop off the spider boss. At first I din know what it does, but after some googling, it’s actually for a spider quest from Atli. So i discoved that it actually trades for a nice bracelet for me, although [...]
Helegrod, the first raid in the game, and after so many months it’s the first time i’ve set foot in there. It certainly doesn’t seem very impressive. A few weakly small bosses, which 24 men can take down pretty easily. The quests are also idiotic such that you need to enter so many times to [...]
