Hello.

 

I feel like respecting the designers of this website: http://www.disc-tools.com/download/daemon

Quite nifty layout indeed

Hello people.

[Slimda]

Good morning Gypsy and folks. How is this wonderful monday treating you?

[Bear^]

Monday morning Blues for my sake, every Monday reminds me of the long week I have before me and how long it is until next time I have a time off.

[Slimda]

You have the wrong attitude and approach there Mr. Bear.

 

My approach is this:

On Monday, it's only four days left until weekend. I also have a meaty(tuesday) and fishy(wednesday) breakfast to look forward to at work. And Waffles on fridays.

 

So, remember, as Monty Python sung:

Always look on the bright side of Life.

Two of my fellow students decided not to buy two books that is part of the curriculum, it seems they rather not read any books in English.

 

Not sure how anyone can expect anything else from a University, I expected more then half of the books to be in English.

[Slimda]

They rather not read any books in english? What are they, stupid?

Why should the books be in Norwegian, a language spoken by a mere 4 million people?

I'm gonna guess that they aren't what you'd call "prodigious" when it comes to English.

[saladin waits for alice]

Not really sure why, maybe they just don't feel all that comfortable reading books in English, I did a little quick reading on these books, and it didn't seem all that advanced, language wise that is, the content is as well not that mind blowing.

 

But then again, I am used to read books in English, I actually prefer it that way, never liked reading a translated version of a book, quotes however is passable.

I agree, a lot of stuff gets "lost in translation"

 

It's like watching a comedy show with a lot of word plays, you can't translate them...

I almost bought an English book today, I'm going to buy it, I think. I dont remember the name of the book, but it was about a person that was a passanger on a bus(I think) and then the bus broke, and it was in the middle of a snow land and the person didn't have a jacket and it was a very long way to find civilization and it was cold.

 

Anyone read it?

[Slimda]

Can't really say I've heard of it.

[Gjest medlem-1432]

I think it's pretty new.

[saladin waits for alice]

speaking of reading, Slimda, I have given the drizzt books a "rest", currently reading the Sellswords trilogy, not bad, seeing as a lot of these characters aren't really good in their behavior, but neither "stupid" evil. More like survivalist.

[Slimda]

You're missing a capital S there, at the start of your sentence. Also, you should use the punctuation mark more often.

 

I haven't read an english book in many months now. Been busy screwing around with other things. Like playing games.

[saladin waits for alice]

Nah, the amount time I use on games have reduced drastically lately.

 

Getting a job and forcing myself to study each week (rather then do a "all nighter") has pretty much taken up all my time. Also, trying to stick to my diet is a full time mental job!

 

Been playing Starcraft 2 and Demigod from time to time though!

Also remember they sung "Life's a piece of shit, when you look at it. Life's a joke and death's the final stroke"

 

I don't think we should quote Life of Brian to be any life philosophic to be honest, they might have gotten a few things wrong throughout that film.

 

The thing is, I'm working at a hotel, so I work shifts, meaning that this week I have weekend shifts, meaning I don't have a weekend to look forward to. Yeah sure I have Thursday and Friday off, but that's not weekend, that's just regular days. I don't have any weekends of until nearly 2 weeks now. Now that's just a dam long time to look forward to.

 

Ah, also, 27th of August, Mafia 2. Now that's something worth looking forward to. Dam I've been waiting ages for Mafia 2, Mafia has to be one of the best games created. Awesome story, brilliant music, brilliant feel to the game, a city that feels alive. It just had everything back then. I still play it and I still love it. In fact, I think I need to go into a marathon here, playing Mafia before Mafia 2 hits the streets.

 

Oh, and about English books, I suggest people read up some "The dark Tower" by Stephen King. Yes I know, I suggest Stephen King all the time, so just call me a King Fanboy but that man sure know how to weave a story that routes you where you are until it's done.
