Eggs?

Heureka! I have a plan! You see, the reason you get less and less to read (provided that you do read this at all of course) is because I write less and less. At least here. The plan is thus: to write more! It may seem simple and obvious, but it's not as easy as it seems. When you have too much easy things to do, you sort of get overwhelmed. I'm sorry about that and I will make it up to you. Starting now.

Every now and then people recommend books to me. Usually I don't listen, but when I do, I usually find them rather interesting in one way or another. Take Wizard's First Rule by Terry Goodkind. It's thick as a brick and boring as hell, but it did make an impression. You see, there's a torture scene which is rather memorable. The only thing which made me sad about that is that it's rather short. Some bigshots made this book into a tv-series. Maybe you've heard of it - Legend of the Seeker. It took the book and made it so incredibly boring that a part of me is now considering investing in the stock market and go over my taxes for the past ten years. So why am I watching it? Well, it's an excellent bitching-thing. You see, there's something about it that's just slightly "off". Maybe it's the fact that they've been on the run for quite some time now while in the same clothes as when they took off and they're still sparkly clean. As far as I know they haven't washed them much. No one ever seems to be dirty in this show and it gives a certain "recorded-in-a-studio-in-the-90's"-wibe. Maybe it's simply the fact that they speak US-English. I don't know why, but for a mission of epic proportions I'm sort of expecting the British kind. It can be posh as a broom-up-in-the-butt or it can be cockney as a chestnut-on-a-roasted-fork, but it should be British. I guess I'm coloured by the Lord of the Rings, but not everyone in those movies speak British English. They do get dirty though. Do you know why? Because that's what happens when you keep walking the woods over and over! Damn you, Hollywood! Damn you to hell!
