Stock features. Day 178

Journal Entry: Wed May 21, 2008, 5:43 AM






Still writing science fiction. Actually I am pretty keen on it. Maybe I will put it up when we're done with the first story. Not before. Don't want any obligations.
Writing Big City is not going well at all. Mainly from the lack of inspiration and motivation. I'm the kind of person who needs feedback, and frankly, having about one reader is... just not very motivating, let's face it.

If anyone knows how to gain more popularity in some honest way, then speak up... I really would not mind. Would pump my self esteem and that's one thing that really needs lifting.

Mostly too damn tired to do anything. Well, I do read. And I go to work and write sci-fi.
Mmm... books. I went shopping and thought I'd buy something for myself. Not something I have to buy, but something I would like to. So I bought two films and two books.

House of the flying daggers (yet to be watched)
Kingdom of Heaven ( I know that critics have given it raspberries, but I kinda liked it. Of course, would be nice if someone taught Orlando how to act, but oh well... the rest of them could do it fine, and it was nice and epic.)

And two books by one of my top favourite authors - Anne Rice.
I've got Cry to Heaven & Witching Hour. (The first is about castrates and damn marvellous. But so are all her books. I should know, I've read a good half of them.)
So, I made a decision - from each my salary I'll buy at least a few books. I discovered I can order them via Krisostomus, a firm that orders books from all over the world. And the good things - I can get basically anything that's been published and much cheaper than from a shop, since I can choose between publishers and editions.

So, I placed an order, and in 2-4 weeks I'll have Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles (all of them, except for the transactions with Mayfaire witches), her Beauty's Triology, and Robin Hobb's Liveship Traders (also 3 books).

Also planning to buy Martin's Song of Ice and Fire (I've read them, and wish to read them over and again), and Salvatore's Icewind Dale Triology and Dark Elf Triology (have the first book, Homeland, want the rest), plus Hobb's Tawny Man Triology (I've read it, but I wish to own it, badly.)

Anybody want to come to Helsinki with me next month? I've got a free ticket from Tallinn to Helsinki and back, and I can take somebody with me with half price. Since it's just one day, then I'm simply planning to go and visit the Zoo.

PS. I'm a giraffe.
Actually I am not, but I just wanted to check if you read this. If you did, say "giraffe".

Lucky you!
DVDs are expensive, but I can play every regional code on my player, that's a must. I have many japanese or korean DVDs plus american ones... With videos I was much more limited in what I was able to watch. The sound is another point... at the moment my hi-fi is broken but usually I watch movies with dolby surround. I love it!!! ;)

Well, I've got a video/dvd player united. Besides, dvds are damn expensive and videos are mostly on low price sale in my local shop, so I can get them for a few dollars. Estonian videos are pretty good in quality, I don't complain much.
~Siobhan68:iconSiobhan68: 10 hours 7 minutes ago
Blast... :petting:
I have only DVDs nowadays... my video player went the way of all earthly things a year ago. I won't buy another one... If you like to watch movies in the original language videos are a pain in the ass and DVDs are much more comfortable. Besides... british videos have the worst quality ever!

Can, but since I have a laptop the screen is really tiny. Plus I cannot attach my video cassettes to it :(
~Siobhan68:iconSiobhan68: 11 hours 24 minutes ago
That's what I do mostly with my TV. Watching DVDs. Movies on TV are so badly cut, I can't stand it. I like my dose of news and documentations or discovery channel though. ;)
Can't you run DVDs on your computer?

Pane aga kasutajanimele stock sappa ja voila ;)
`Mithgariel:iconMithgariel: 12 hours 27 minutes ago
Mostly, yes. But sometimes I'd really want to watch some good movies, so I'm thinking of buying a small TV - for my videos and other stuff like that. Don't care about watching news or random TV, just the things I choose.

Hola!
Mis su stocki galerii link on? Tahtsin vaadata aga ei suutnud enam leida :/.
~Siobhan68:iconSiobhan68: 14 hours 32 minutes ago

The less TV or movies you watch, the more time for your own creativity, I think. And books can be your best friends, you can always drop by (in?) to visit them again and see how they are!!!

Actually, I don't. A lot of movies don't reach Estonian cinemas, and even if they do, the tickets cost a small fortune. And I am one of those rare people who don't own a TV.

Your head can remain where it wants to be, I am not going to drag a writer off their inspiration, no way. I know too well how it goes.

My muse is busy with Time Snakes and intergalactical intrigues ;)
~Siobhan68:iconSiobhan68: 22 hours 59 minutes ago
"Giraffe"
...and yes, I read your text ;)

I only can recommend "House Of the Flying Daggers"! I suppose you know "Hero" and "Tiger And Dragon" too, don't you?

And maybe I'll read "Big City" to give you your well-earned feedback... Problem is... I just prefer fantasy and at the moment my head is completely in my campaign setting, writing adventures.

May your muse whisper inspirations to you soon! ;P
Mine did... Hehe...
