2. Dark Tower VI - Song of Susannah Posted under Weblog - 29 Oct 2006 17:16 - 0 comments Tags: pop-culture

   I was holding off on buying the sixth installment of the Dark Tower until I could find a printing which matched the previous five books, but as I was browsing through the new Fully Booked at SM North I felt a compulsive urge to buy *something*, and lo and behold, Stephen King was on the shelf right beside me!
   
   As usual, the tale of Roland and his party on their quest for the Dark Tower is quite the page-turner, especially since this particular piece of fiction intersects with the real world in an intruiging way...the author himself, Stephen King, appears in this book as the would-be creator of Roland's world! Reminds me of one of those "self-inserts", a term used for fanfiction where the author writes himself in.
   
   In any case, one more book before the end of King's epic twenty-years-in-the-making western fantasy saga. I'll probably buy the next book this week.

3. Heroes Again Posted under Weblog - 29 Oct 2006 14:31 - 0 comments Tags: pop-culture

   This series is simple awesome. The writing is excellent, and the fact they're using a lot of precognition implies how well the entire series should tie together.
   
   Hiro continues to be the shining star here. Future Hiro's appearance promises us several things, namely:
   * Hiro will eventually stop being so dorky. And he'll get a sword!
   * Hiro will eventually learn to speak English well
   * Peter will eventually get a scar
   * In some future episode, they have to show us what happened to prompt Future Hiro's sojourn to the past
   
   TV just keeps getting better. Between Heroes and other series like 24, TV is a lot better to watch than movies now. (Not that I watch the series on TV mind you.)

4. 19-inches of Widescreen LCD Sweetness Posted under Weblog - 29 Oct 2006 12:08 - 0 comments Tags: hardware

   I wish I had a camera right now so I could post a picture of it, but yeah, I now have a brand-new 19-inch widescreen LCD monitor on my desk. Wow, I have so much space! Both physical space and desktop space!
   
   I came home at past 12 midnight last night and was so sleepy I would have immediately went into a catatonic sleep had my brother not brought home and installed this new monitor. I pretty much had to play WoW for a few hours on it first. As my friend said, "It's the law!"
   
   In other news, I may be spending too much. =/
