Leprechaun costume?

By terje | Published: February 28, 2007
Not so much. (Also, the next strip gave me a whole new respect for Elan. Maybe he did get an Intelligence point when he last leveled up?) And why do I like this strip so much?

First of all, lets get all this emotion out of the way: Yaaaaaaaaaaaay! “Batman: Year One” by Frank Miller has arrived! And almost one month before I expected it to come, at that! Additionally, Year One wasn’t the only thing waiting for me when I came home from Røros last night. SFX #154 had [...]

Religion? No, thank you. Marx? Yes, please.

I was just reading “The Right Nation“, a book about the rise of the American Right, and I came to a passage which said that American conservatives such as Ronald Reagan see the United States as a nation favored by God because of its democratic virtue, and those kinds of things, and that this is [...]

Just popping in…

By terje | Published: February 26, 2007
… to post a kind of a memo to self: Terje, you prancing ponce, when you get home, and have a moment of respite, check out Hal Duncan’s blog, and his post on elitism, escapism and all that stuff in particular. And for now, please try to pay attention to the nice lady who’s trying her [...]

Damn xkcd…

I just can’t get this strip out of my head. It’s like a bloody Kylie Minogue song. As are these ones. I mean, here I was, almost having cured myself of my tenebras paranoia, and then this guy gives me raptor phobia instead. Just perfect. (Remember to read the tool tips.)

Captain Forehead and his wise-cracking incorporeal sidekick, Casper — AS5×2 Just Rewards

By terje | Published: February 18, 2007
An episode dominated entirely by the rivalry between Angel and Spike. Gotta love it. They really do bring out the worst in each other, you know. Can’t really say I have much more to say about this episode. I thought the necromancer (my profession of choice, by the way) was a so-and-so weekly monster, but [...]

I had a dream…

By terje | Published: February 18, 2007
The other night, I actually dreamed about Azureus and downloading. How sick is that? Pretty damn sick, I guess, but that’s besides the point. If I have one. Which I doubt. Regardless, what I dreamt was that I came home after spending the weekend at my sister’s place, and all 46.87 gigs of Babylon 5 was [...]

It’s so comforting to see familiar faces. At least when they don’t have bumpy foreheads. Which rules out all the new familiar faces in this one, I guess — AS5×1 Conviction

By terje | Published: February 18, 2007
Sigh. Only 21 episodes left. Anyway, a decent enough episode. Its carrying plot might not be the best one around (as Whedon noted on the commentary, the threat isn’t exposed enough for it to feel real), but the arc’y stuff, both plot and character wise, more than made up for this. Naturally, there was [...]

Oh, and…

By terje | Published: February 18, 2007
… the “Firefly” DVD I had to order because of Loki (okay, so here’s my contribution for the “Worst Excuse of 2007 Award” ) arrived yesterday! Which means that as soon as I’ve force-fed my sister the last couple of episodes of VM (this show really stands to be watched a second time, I’ve [...]
