Is looking for a west side lunch buddy!

I think it’s going to be good getting to know my group(ies). They seem like fun people. Sigh, this is gonna be a lil bit of a rush but hey, I’d probably never get any work done without pressure.

Arthas: Rise of the (Emobitch)Lich King was a dissappointment really. If you’ve played through the wc3 campaigns just give this book a miss coz it really doesn’t add much. It is basically a recount of the human and undead campaigns from Reign of Chaos and Frozen Throne.

Honestly, I think if she(Christie Golden) had written the scene of Arthas’ confrontation with Tirion at Light’s Hope Chapel and Shadow Vault(?), it would have shown just how unredemable he was, more so than his descent(or ascension, depending on how you look at it).

That said, if you are a WoW lore buff and haven’t played any of the RTS you should pick up this book for an idea of how he came to be one of the most powerful entities on Azeroth.

Arthas was my favored character, his slow descent into evil - guided by the manipulations of Ner’zhul. Up to the point where he picks up frostmourne, you could even justify his actions as the lesser evils of the choices laid before him.

Sigh. This book does not do his character justice. But it does show more about his relationship with his people and Jaina Proudmore. Damn romance to hell, this is Watcraft!!

That said, watch the intro Cinematic of WoW: Wrath of the Lich King. This is the true Arthas.

Growing old, more like.

It hit me a couple of days back that people I knew as bloggers(both personal and pros) have been slowly dropping off the bloggosphere radar.

I’ve found it really hard to write ever since I started serving the nation. Strangly even more so after I left. Has life become so mundane that we have nothing that excites our minds to create prose/poetry.

It’s amazing how a single symbol can make you wonder whether you knew it all along. Was I so naive?

So I’ve been doing a little bit of training, a little bit of summer school, a little bit of reading and a little bit of catching up.

It feels good to just curl up on my couch with a book(Angels and Demons). It’s been a while…

Oh and yes.. Season 1 of Gossip Girl down. The bitchy-ness is almost too much to take ><

Gossip Girl is an anonymous blogger who follows the complicated lives of New York’s Upper Class. The wild parties, inane excesses and lack of boundaries that the obscenely rich enjoy. It’s all about who you know and how deep your pockets are in this world. But under all the glamor and flashing lights, there are secrets and, strangely, vulnerable hearts that seek the one thing that money cannot buy….

At every plot twist, we get to see just how dysfunctional these families  are and how relationships that are built on shaky foundations of “trust” and sex end up crumbling under the lies and manipulations of one character or another. Well, there is only so much that a romantic can dream for right?

What really makes this show interesting is that there really is no one clear hero and antagonist.. Every character is a victim and a sinner in some form or another.. And Gossip Girl is right there to expose all the gritty details of every little sin.

Remind me why I watched this again?

So yeah.. brief update of what I’ve been up to the past couple of weeks. ’til next time. iAnT out.

I’m tired. exhausted. But I still can’t stop myself from giving.

I was so busy missing you, I missed someone else.

Angels and demons was a disappointment to me. But oh well. Too sleep deprived to write much at the moment but life’s good and school(yes summer school) sucks.

And all around the world people shouted out.. The geek gets the girl…

Booya!

I need to take the bus more, I seem to be inspired to write while i’m stoning at the back watching strange people do strange things. Which reminds me.

The Mentalist is an interesting show. A CSI-esque(or Monk) series that follows Patrick Jane, a modern day Sherlock Holmes and a team of investigators. His acute powers of observation and intuitivity allow him to read people like books and extract clues where the police find dead ends.

Although it becomes slightly repetitive like CSI, I found myself trying to guess who were the killers each time I watched a new episode. Jane’s confidence and eccentric beheavior make the show light hearted and thrilling at the same time. Yet at the same time you know that there is a darkness hidden behind those charming eyes that haunts Jane.

I dont want to reveal the plot but it’s definitely a good watch. Check it out!
