I bought some of Pratchett's books quite young, because they were cheap paperbacks and had a pretty cover. I found them boring, but I tried re-reading them often, but never finished them. Then I borrowed one of his other books from a library and tried reading it. (It was Lords and Ladies.) I slogged trough the beginning not really getting into it this time either; I still found it boring. Then I decided for some reason to start it again from the beginning and this time I focused on the reading more. I read the book in a day and loved it. Since then I've read plenty of his novels and liked - at leas to some degree - all of them.

Pratchett was pretty much the writer who got me paying attention to more subtle details and nuances. (You pretty much have in order to enjoy Discworld-novels. Especially the earlier ones.)

Thanks to whoever it was that played that song Little Talks my Of Monsters and Men yesterday. Found me a great new band! (They have another song with a similarly awesome video, as well, titled King and Lionheart.)
I should thank that person too. I've listened their album a freaking lot since discovering them.

The best scene, only matched by the sheer Lunacy at the end imho.

All this dream talk reminds me I had my first WILD-dream(Wake Initiated Lucid Dream) last night day. I had stayed up the whole night and went to bed around 12:00. Still awake, my eyes closed I started seeing simple images turning more and more complex and eventually it turned into a full-blown dream. The whole process felt fucking awesome.

The dream itself was pretty simple and short. I was walking around some random fancy and big house which had some kind of party. Loads of people - some of whom I recognized - drunkenly wandering around. No music though. Soon I saw couple closer friends around two bowls of punch and I decided to test whether you can taste anything in a dream (I had heard you can't). So I took a glass of the stuff and drank it, and indeed it didn't have taste. I also awoke when I had taken my first sip.

...The running is definitely not starting though. My choices are either night-time running or morning running, neither of which I'm a huge fan of, because it's over 100 degrees every single day here. I suppose I could run during the day, I should probably research a bit. (Ninja edit: The first page I opened about running in the heat pretty much says "Don't!" This isn't encouraging.)
But but... night-time is the most enjoyable time for running/jogging/walking.

Just realized I haven't smoked in two weeks* and what's even better, I haven't even thought about it for a while now.

*Well, I did smoke one cigarette when I was drinking. But considering how many chances there are to get cigarettes at a bar I'd say that's pretty good.

I've decided a few days ago to stop sodas/energy drinks completely and coffee during the evenings/nights to see if that helps with my constant fucking insomnia. That cut's my caffeine intake to 2-4 cups of joe a day and none after 18:00. We'll see how this goes.

Love the violin, but the ballet music is one of the reasons I am not a big fan of ballet (like in that Black Swan piece I think the dancing would be even more striking with less dull music).
O.o Ballet music is pretty much the main reason I watch ballet, although I do it rarely. Of course I like the dancing as well, otherwise I would just listen to the music. Although I do occasionally sit down and listen trough a whole ballet.

Huh.

Well, 500yd=1500ft is probably unfeasible on a video game map scale. Very interesting. I still reserve the right to say games with totally invisible bullets look silly.
Well you can't see bullets moving in the air when they have been fired in real life either. A gun shooting bullets that slow would be kinda useless.

oh my god this is so much fun
I see nothing that amusing about it, myself.

EDIT: For you, it IS just some cartoon picture that you can stretch and move about with WASD, and a picture of the same guy zooming in and out constantly, right?
He probably meant the fun part being making them, since he is practicing HTML5.

Finland, you use too much electricity.
I think quite a chunk of it goes to heating, having cold winters and all that. Plus at least we seem to consume way less oil than most countries.
