I've just finished 'Lux Perpetua', the last part of Andrzej Sapkowski's Hussite Wars Trilogy, the book I eagerly waited two whole years for. And I'm actually a bit disappointed. It felt anticlimatic. Sapkowski is one of the most skilled authors that I've ever had the pleasure to read, with possibly the finest touch to dialog and an extraordinary ( Read more... )

Poland is so far gliding through the Volleyball World Championship. Go team. What makes me less happy is the fact that said championship take place in Japan, which means that all the fun is happening around 7 am, when there's just no way I could possibly be woluntarily awake. The cruelty the world sometimes treats me with is simply staggering.

The missing reviews from earlier this week might yet pop up tomorrow. Or they might not. Depends on my muse.

Full season pick-ups for 'Studio 60' and 'Friday Night Lights'. That's the spirit, NBC. I'm not actually that surprised they decided to go with 'Studio 60', because the show basically tells you directly what an awesome network NBC is, so it didn't make much sense to kick it to the curb.

It's ridiculously late. So late that I have to keep myself from nervously glancing out the window to see if the dawn is not already there. And I'm feeling slightly delirious from all that sleep deprivation. So, yeah, just posting these tv thingies and I'm off. To sleep for ages preferably. And for three hours in reality. The story of my life.

Remember remember the fifth of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason why gunpowder, treason
Should ever be forgot...I'm not English, so really this date doesn't have that much historic significance for me. I find the story quite extraordinary, though. And yes, ok, I give, 'V Like Vendetta' made an impression ( Read more... )

Livejournal is acting patchy. And I'm getting slightly irritated.

The long long weekend is drawing to an end and that is downright painful. The next break like that is going to be at Christmas and that's nearly two months away. Ok, a month and a half, but still too long.
