I love it when things go hunky-dory.
I love it when I can read what I want when I want, and get exactly what I expected out of it, if not more.
Has anybody ever thought of designing an eBook reader application which maps “mood music” to a book? Kind of like having your own soundtrack to a book.
On second thought, that would be somewhat stupid. Because, (a) Most people don’t like reading eBooks and (b) most people can’t listen to music and read a book at the same time.
Last Friday, I read Stardust by Neil Gaiman. I had postponed it a long time. Postponed it because there are only two Gaiman books that I have not read left, those being Coraline and Stardust ( I am not counting the Sandman books, or his other graphic novels. ) It moved me. It reminded me of when I was twelve years old and just dying to go out into the world and have adventures, never mind what adventures, just something other than dreary old studies. It gave me the distinct feeling of basking in the sun on winter days and eating oranges. Times it reminded me of that old TV show called Fairy Tale Theatre. This book is now neck-and-neck with Tom Sawyer and Little Women in my List of Books to Read Aloud to My Children at Bedtime.
My questions are done, sort of. Contrary to what I expected, the volume of visual questions has risen from five in the past week, to about 105 as of now. Lots of interesting ( I think! ) connect-questions, a number of rare photographs that I never knew would be available on the Net, and none of them Quiznet repeats. Wahoo! But of course, I haven’t been to Quiznet in quite sometime.
I had thought that the Google Image Search sucks, but the last couple of days, I stumbled across quite a few walkarounds that are exceptions to the rule.
And now, four days before the quiz, I am afraid I have a shortage of interesting audio questions. Oh, the inhumanity….
Vice City Update: Tommy Vercetti now owns The Cherry Popper IceCream Factory, Kaufman Taxis (the rest of the Taxi drivers have been terrorised without mercy, their fares occasionally taken away by you-know-who. ), the Shipyard, Sunshine Autos, and the Pole Position Strip Club. Mark my words, the Real Estate business kicks ass in Vice City. Rampages Passed: 18 out of 35. 35% of the game completed.
Hey, don’t forget to post or email me your quiz questions ok ?
me too ;-)
Will do, saar. :)
For sure! I have already put up some of the visuals on 2fargon’s site, though they are password protected right now.
I think you’ve inspired me to restart Vice City. I used cheats, just for fun one day, but apparently that screws up your SAVED games, so now if I want to get a proper score, I have to start over. (This is on the PS2 version. I don’t know if you’re playing that, or the PC version.) So I quit the game for a long time. I think I’m ready to start playing again.
Plus, I never even got inside the strip club. I have to make it that far, at least.
I am playing the PC version. I don’t cheat at all, not on PC games, which is kindof a miracle, i know. However I get very zombie-like when I fail part of a game repeatedly – after some attempts, time ceases to have any meaning. Load-die-reload becomes the Alpha and Omega in my life.
:-)
All the best!
