1. I'm Going to HK...Again Posted under Weblog - 21 Nov 2006 12:45 - 0 comments Tags: travel work

   So much for my nefarious plan to take it easy until I can get a Christmas break.
   
   I leave on the first available flight Thursday, and they plan to keep me there for around three weeks.

2. Dark Tower VII Posted under Weblog - 18 Nov 2006 10:09 - 0 comments Tags: pop-culture

   What a long, arduous journey it has been for Roland of Gilead, last gunslinger, in his inexorable quest for the Dark Tower. And now that I've read the final volume of Stephen King's magnum opus, I find out that it is an even crueler fate that awaits him at the end of the seven books.
   
   I dare not spoil it, though Wikipedia has a nice summary, say thankya. Save to say that Stephen King seems to be correct - the ending of the Dark Tower series does seem to be the "correct" one, despite some disappointments in writing.
   
   All in all, the Dark Tower series remains an incredibly good read, and Stephen King is admirable for having completed the epic story over a more than twenty-year period. People often know King as the "guy who writes those creepy horror stories", but the Dark Tower series shows his bent is really towards a type of dark fantasy. I wish I had time to read his other novels, as many of them tie up with the Dark Tower story itself.

4. Predictions on the Evolution of Language, Part 1 Posted under Weblog - 06 Nov 2006 14:48 - 0 comments Tags: crazy-ideas

   I predict that eventually, "don't", "won't", "can't" and the like will eventually become their own words, dropping that weird apostrophe they have.
   
   A few decades after this happens, some people will wonder what "wan't" used to stand for.
