Take this, you wanker casino bots!
Okay, people who want to comment here now need to be registered, courtesy of a small hack for WordPress. (The lack of this feature stock WordPress I find annoying and inexplicable.) Hopefully this will cut down on the casino spam bots.
In other news, I have a beard. It will be 4 weeks this Thursday since I last shaved. I have to say it’s very interesting having facial hair. To feel it when the wind blows is an odd sensation. Feeling the water in it after I shower is weird too. In general people seem to like it, which is a good sign. Eventually I’ll post a picture for the curious.
I finished China Miéville’s Iron Council this morning. I’ll write a full review later, but I’ll say now that I did not like it as much as Perdido Street Station or The Scar (his other books I’ve read, which are set in the same world).
While we’re on the topic of books, I discovered that there was a movie made of “Arturo Pérez-Reverte’s:Lhttp://www.capitanalatriste.com/ The Flanders Panel which stars Kate Beckinsale (who is on The List). So, since I liked Ninth Gate which was (loosely) based on Pérez-Reverte’s The Club Dumas (which is much better than the movie) and Kate is in it, I figured that was a good enough excuse to read The Flanders Panel next and then watch the movie, this being the opposite order in which I experienced The Ninth Gate and The Club Dumas. The symmetry of it pleases me.
Oh sure, I notice that I get no credit for encouraging you to GROW the beard in the first place, even though it was my idea! Well, I like it, and that’s what matters anyway, right?
Yeeeeeees, post a picture. I want to see how the beard looks
Speaking of The Ninth Gate, why didn’t Emmanuelle Seigner make your list?
On par with the experience of facial hair is the experience of the lack of (head) hair. Same basic sources: wind, water. Sunshine and pillows also make the list.
