Journalling
The problem with trying to keep a journal is that everything happens when you're not. Keeping one, that is. At least, that's *my* problem, anyway, your own experiences are, well, your own. So when I post things like "crumbs, not been here in a while, I should start this up again, see you soon," and then don't, well, I'm fooling no one but myself ( Read more... ) -
Dust
Christ, two years.
Well, a year and five months.
Or something.
It's been a while, anyway.
How is everyone? -

"Do you have travel books?"
"Yes we do, they are upstairs."
Beat.
"Would Nepal be downstairs?"
"No. Upstairs." -
From Iris Murdoch's The Nice and the Good
"There are principalities and powers, there is unknown good which flies magnetically toward the good we know. Human frailty forms a system, and faults in the past have their endlessly spreading network of results. We are not good people, and we shall always be involved in that great network, you and I.

The book is called The Kite and other stories, and was first published in 1963. The edition is a Macmillan New Windmills and is hardcover in green with a stylised picture ( Read more... ) -
Hail Mary
A German dude just walked into the store looking for a copy of Eating Animals by Safran Foer. We don't have it, it's still fairly new and it takes a while for authors like Safran Foer (good, but Maltese people don't really read "good" stuff) to get to Malta, and definitely not in hardback ( Read more... ) -
Bloodsucking Fiends
I'm reading a book by a chap called Christopher Moore. It was one of those "buy three books for a tenner" deals, so I picked up Bloodsucking Fiends and another one called something like The Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove. The cover blurb promised me something different, and the over all feel of the book from what I could gather before actually ( Read more... ) -
WoW Fanfic
Yeah, I know.
Well, I've been playing it for a while now. I started on the Alliance side, and I've had this story in my head since I rolled my first human character (fyi, my first EVER character was a Gnome). It's the sad story of a family called the Lamarcks (after the naturalist and early evolutionist) who were split apart by war.
