A much too clever fellow who for some reason knows suspiciously much about Russian politics.

The nice and really patient Caroline! And her cozy little LJ. :D

This guy is the reason you're reading this. Possibly because you're him. Possibly not. Anywho, he's nice. Would be very nice, if not for his delusions of taste in islandic aesthetics.

Because some guys just never get completely satisfied. It's somehow related to vulcanic islands, I think.

Because... oh, heck, just click the link and read for yourself.

Because... hm. I'm sure there's a reason.

Olaf's page. He's a man who CHOOSES to write Nynorsk even though he didn't use to. That's reason enough to swoon with respect for him!

Dealing exclusively with gods, and in a slightly humorous way, this site has often worked nicely for me as a supplement to Encyclopedia Mythica whenever it falls short

Continuing the little break from Discworld, next up is the Absolute Sandman, volume 3, by Neil Gaiman. This volume collects the Brief Lives storyline, where Dream and Delirium go looking for their missing brother, and the World’s End story, where several strangers are marooned in a mysterious inn ...
Taking a short break from all the Discworld, the next book I finished reading was How to Make Webcomics, by Brad Guigar, Dave Kellet, Scott Kurtz and Kristofer Straub. The title of How to Make Webcomics pretty much sums up what the book is about. It is not so much about cartooning per se, it assumes ...
Forging forwards, the next book on the list of recently read is Moving Pictures, by Terry Pratchett. Can you tell how I’m on a bit of a Discworld binge? The standard disclaimer for Discworld books applies here. I cannot help but filter my impressions of any one of the books through my impressions ...
Continuing the summer reading project, I have recently finished Mort by Terry Pratchett. As with any Discworld book I read at this point, I must qualify my statements by noting that my impressions are inevitably coloured by the rest of the series. Mort is a book I actually read once before, way back ...
My Summer Reading Extravaganza (now with it’s crappy own logo) marches on, as I have just finished Guards! Guards! by Terry Pratchett. It is hard for me to review any Discworld book as a single work, and this book in particular will be difficult. I’ve pretty much read the Watch series of Discwor ...

TRAILER IS UP! http://youtube.com/watch?v=vCShww5_-Jo Please ignore the annoying graphic. We'll repost in a week without it, but we're a bit too excited about this series to worry about it. I'm about to go on vacation in six hours, so I just needed to get this out there. Hope you like this short, ...
Hey guys, I've created/written a webseries called "Whatz Good Studios" and the TRAILER for it comes out tonight. So please, check it out. Comments rock, high ratings rock hard, support rocks harder, and spreading the word rocks hardest. They all rock equally, actually. So please, check it out. I ...
What Is It?: Spike- After the Fall #1 (written by Brian Lynch.) Timing: After Spike's "First Night" story in Angel: After the Fall #6. Before Angel: After the Fall #1. To make it less complicated, you can pretty much say it's between "Not Fade Away" and "Angel: After the Fall." REVIEW: All in all, ...
Hey all, This'll be quick. Act One of a Joss Whedon web-musical is now up online. All you have to know is that Joss (in collaboration with his brothers and others) wrote and directed it, and that is stars Neil Patrick Harris, Felicia Day, and Nathan Fillion. Literally couldn't be more awesome if ...
What Is It?: Angel- After the Fall: Issue #10 (written by Brian Lynch, plotted by Joss Whedon and Brian Lynch.) Timing: The proverbial morning after "After the Fall #9" Warning: The bigger spoilers will be written in black text. Simply highlight to read. As this is a review, there will be some mino ...

obdormio: Hancock: Fun enough.
obdormio: Spamsplosion in my blog comments.
obdormio: I guess it wouldn't be a Whedon show if we didn't get punched in the gut somewhere.
obdormio: Dr Horrible is over, an wow, talk about change of tone for the ending!

1926. 273 pages. Gollancz Fantasy Masterworks. Foreword by Neil Gaiman. Where the rivers Dapple and Dawl converge is situated the small country port of Lud-in-the-Mist, capital of the free state of Dorimare. From here, the burghers send their trading ships out into the world, bringing back wealth to ...
2008. 536 pages (Gollancz Fantasy trade paperback). âLife being what it is, one dreams of revenge.â — Paul Gaugin. This being the opening quote of Last Argument of Kings, the concluding volume in Joe Abercrombieâs The First Law series, one can perhaps perceive that this is a bleak ...
1948. 338 pages. Gollancz Fantasy Masterworks. When young Airar Alvarson is evicted from his family farm by a henchman of the occupant Vulkings, he does not require much prodding to join the Dalecarl resistance, who are (or would be) fighting against the Vulkings’ rule over their homelands of Dala ...
2006 527 pages. (This review is based on a comment I wrote on the review of The Blade Itself. It contains NO SPOILERS! The “more” thing is only there to soothe any spoilerphobics who might happen to read this.) When I first finished Before they are hanged, the second book in Joe Abercrombie’s ...
(If this isn’t my best review, please bear over with me; it’s been over two months since I read this book.) 2001 (1970, 1962, 1970). 165 pages. “Induction” (2 pages) “The Snow Women” (74 pages) “The Unholy Grail” (27 pages) “Ill Met in Lankhmar” (62 pages) Swords and Deviltry is ...

I have a confession to make: I don’t know anything about Dan Ronco, nor had I heard anything about “Unholy Domain” before the author sent me an e-mail, asking if I’d be interested in reading and perhaps reviewing it here on my blog. Me, being the book-loving guy that I am, said, “Yes, plea ...
The speculative genre is not small any longer. It has countless of sub-genres and cult-symbols, its followers occupy at least half of the Internet and the movies with the biggest revenues aren’t exactly the kitchen-sink dramas of yore. However, if we take a quick look at the literary side of thing ...
“Ding, ding, ding,” the bell rings and the referee declares me the winner. I’ve just gone twelve rounds with “Toll the Hounds”, the latest 923-pages addition to the “Malazan Book of the Fallen” saga. At the start we both ran circles around each other; me trying to catch it, and TtH cun ...
I like my shows smart, and I like it when the shows think that the viewer is smart, too. I like my dialogue quick, witty and, of course, funny. The characters should be well-developed, yet still quite mysterious so that you still want to learn more about ‘em. If you’ve got all those ingredients ...
“Preacher” is a nine volume long comic series that tells the tale about how one man, Jesse Custer, got fed up with all of life’s inexplicable bullshit and decided to stick it to the Man. And by “the Man”, I of course mean the Big Cheese; the Exec of all Exec’s; Big Beard Grumpy yes, [.. ...
