Garfield Minus Garfield book!?

This is totally cool!

When I was a kid I liked Garfield. When I grew a bit, I started to dislike the Cat and the Dog in the series. Garfield Minus Garfield was an eye opener, incredibly funny but sad antics of a loner... A bit like me - heheh - and it looks like I'm not alone.

I'd love to have the book, I hope it becomes available in UK with a reasonable price. Sometimes ordering something from Amazon US is viable but usually I wait for weeks and weeks for the stuff to arrive.

Why Orson Scott Card sucks

Initially I really liked Orson Scott Card's books. Ender's Game was a brilliant concept, well written and conceived. As I read more, I found more books I was fond of. Slowly I realised that he had a serious agenda lurking in the background, mainly his Mormon values. Finally one day I left one of his books in the middle of it, being sick of his values. I can stomach poligamy and "Honour your Father (or elders, authority) without question" only to a degree. It seriously sucked.

John Scalzi posted a nice article about same sex marriage and points to OSC's disgusting rant.

Orson Scott Card's political ideas stink. Unfortunately his books reek of these as well. That's it. I shall never read an other OSC book apart from the good old Ender's Game (and I have to admit, every time I reread that book I find an other one of these gems in it - like the government is so bad because Ender's parents are not allowed to breed like rabbits!).

Scalzi Old Man's war

Damn.. What a Heinlein rip-off... And what a brilliant book! Heheh, that was a joke.

I enjoyed every page and finished with glee and pleasure. Brilliant book, seriously, can't give it enough praise. It is a wonderful homage to Heinlein and his Starship Troopers but without the fascism and more sex. Lovely.

Off to Amazon to order the rest... Heheh.. Can't wait for Zoe's War being available in UK.

The man knows how to tape a bacon to a cat... And how to write.

Dress sense

WTF! Shorts, t-shirt and huge cowboy boots?? woman, that's just plain stupid!

I don't get fashion, it's stupid. T-shirts + jeans, that's me. Boring but comfortable...

20080705 Oxford

I can't believe it is July and I'm into 1/6th of it already.

I'm sitting in starbucks in Oxford again, listening to American Astronaut soundtrack and reading Scalzi's Old Man's War.

The weather wasn't very nice when I rode here but right now it is glorious sunshine and white puffy clouds - filling me with an incredible good mood.

American Astronaut - this movie needs rewatching again, at a high volume. The songs are so good...

I love cumulus clouds...

All these days I've been planning to write something about the American Astronaut and record it but I've been lazy. I need to get my act together and do some more recordings.

Also I have a massive recording I need to clean and edit and put out ASAP. Also getting the guys to contribute more is challenging, maybe I should arrange some more Skype recording sessions soon.
