  • Henry and Kristl witnessed The Trial (1962)

    “Nowadays you can hardly say anything against Orson Welles without invoking scorn and ridicule,” Kristl mused. “You were going to?” “Not on purpose, but I feel a bit apprehensive about it. I mean you have a certain amount of leeway towards almost any other director, except for Welles.. You have to say he was a…

  • Henry and Kristl enter the Mists of Avalon (2001)

    “So ever read the book?” Henry asked, “Seems like the kind of book you would have read, in your days…” Kristl frowned, “My days? Sounds like I have outlived my shelf live. “ “Eh.. Well I mean, from when you were younger. When you read these books. Fantasy and such.” Kristl gave Henry a look, “Gosh,…

  • Book review: Junky by William S. Burroughs

    Junky by William S. Burroughs My rating: 4 of 5 stars Junky is a horrid book. The focus of this novella is the shallow and deplorable life of the drugs addict as he ambles through life to get to his next fix. Burroughs’ book is unmitigated, the focus is the constant struggle with addiction, for…

  • Art by second life: ⊱The Gateway⊰

    The gateway is the short name for a place called The Gateway to BDSM. Next to providing a meeting place for people interested in a certain lifestyle, there happens also to be an exhibition/auction there. I like to discover art in Second Life, especially when it uses Second Life avatars or scenes. This has to…

  • Pictures from the unreal: wildlife

      A picture I made using Osgrid, Secondlife and real life pictures. The set is made in OSgrid. The animals are from OSgrid. The statues to the right have been made by Laughton Mc.Cry using sculptris. The fish are from the public domain and the advertisement  is from the Library of Congress. The avatar and…

  • Henry and Kristl did not last to see 13 Assassins

    “Gosh,” said Henry. He and Kristl were both gaping at the large screen that adorned one side of the wall and which had, mercifully, gone black. A soft sound of static emitted from the screen. It was the only sound in the otherwise silent room. Kristl pressed a button on her wrist watch and glanced…

  • Between real and depiction of real : Coca Cola, identity and avatars

      “Dick’s stories typically focus on the fragile nature of what is “real” and the construction of personal identity.” (Wikipedia: Philip K. Dick) A few week ago I borrowed some books from the public library. It has been a long while that I visited a library, but of late I found that I sleep better…

  • Book review: Rules of Civility by Amor Towles

    Rules of Civility by Amor Towles My rating: 3 of 5 stars Think thirties – with the linger touch of the roaring twenties -, think mystery, think romance, think New York in grey with the Empire State building looming in the background, think high life, think jazz, think autumn in New York, think smoky bar…

  • Book review: Catch-22 by Joseph Heller

    Catch-22 by Joseph Heller My rating: 2 of 5 stars Some weeks ago I found that I sleep better when I read something, but I did not have any books of my own anymore. I used to have a collection of mostly science-fiction and fantasy books, a size able part of which was handed down…
