Oh, you're good!

I've come across my own first name two times already, but I've never come across the combination of first and last names of anyone I know. I could've sworn there was a thread like this, but I can't find it anywhere.

It seems to me that all series either slow down, turn into crap, etc. somewhere down the line. I liked the first Auel novel well enough, I enjoyed reading the first couple of Dark Tower novels, but it just goes downhill, doesn't it? If I have to really pick a series, I'd go for Douglas...

I've seen so many good movies this year... And just as many bad ones.

I didn't like Gangs of New York either. But I'm hardly a Scorsese fan, so that's no big surprise.

The last show I went to was Rise Against, A Wilhelm Scream and Berri Txarrak in September. Next in line will probably not be until January. I just can't find the time these days... And there aren't that many bands I like playing here.

No, I'm afraid my heart is not very meltable. I cannot remember a movie where I've cringed so much and felt so ashamed for the characters. Definitely one for the books, hehe.

Just got back from "Step Up", and I must say, the crap they put out these days! Hehe.

There are some really nice ones in there, but it's funny to see how some themes resurface constantly (like the time travel thing).

I should read more, but I honestly can't find the time anymore... :( Haruki MURAKAMI: The Wind-up Bird Chronicle;Ryūnosuke AKUTAGAWA: Rashomon and Other Stories;Michael CHABON: Summerland;Neil GAIMAN: Anansi Boys. I enjoyed The Wind-up Bird Chronicle and Anansi Boys, but Rashomon and Summerland...

I kinda went off Gaiman for a while I think (should I or should I not blame that on American Gods?), and while I didn't dislike Anansi Boys, it just wasn't love at first sight all over again (like Sandman was, or Neverwhere, or even, more recently 1602). Maybe if you'd take American Gods and...

I read Rashomon and Other Stories and I have to say I was disappointed by it. Maybe the editor picked the wrong stories* or maybe the translation bothered me, but it just didn't seem to work for me. Some of the stories Stewart mentioned did sound interesting though, so maybe I should give...

A couple of months ago, I bought Neil Gaiman's Anansi Boys on sight. I thought it was probably going to be a disappointment (the preview I'd read hadn't done much for me), but it was a 3 for 2 kind of thing, so I went for it anyway. The book ended up sitting on my shelf for quite a few months...

They're OK... I won't switch off the radio when they're on and I wouldn't mind watching them at a festival, but I wouldn't invest money in it either, CD- or concertwise.

I'll join in, I guess. I'd love to be part of the statistics. ;) I read Northern Lights (Philip Pullman)The Supernaturalist (Eoin Colfer)A Confederacy of Dunces (John Kennedy Toole)De doden zijn niet dood (Els De Temmerman)Beauty (Sheri S. Tepper)Vernon God Little (DBC Pierre)Zonder genade...

For once I know the answer to a question and then Shade beats me to it. :(

Never watched the Anatomie movies. Not my cup of tea, I always figured. I quite like Franka Potente though. Even when she's not a redhead.

Really? That's the one movie everyone knows in Europe, as far as I know.

And what time and place would you prefer? Europe's pretty diverse and has a lot of history, so it'd help if you narrowed it down a bit.

Yeah, four times. Twice at a festival and twice in a club/venue. Nice energy.
