Apart from records I have a decent amount of books and probably one of the biggest collection of star trek books in sweden.

Vernor Vinge - Zones Of Thought (Omnibus of 'Fire' & 'Deepness') It's absolutly not good. Don't know how this one has won awards at all. Apart from being extremely cute it's just boring and not crossing any boarders or horizons of the mental box. Still getting through Gavin Smiths Scorpion. I still don't get it!!! The book is cool as fuck, but I don't know what he is getting at. Damn it!

The frenchy NED... now you remind of EAL. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7km5BdOZ4aM Abigor - Fractal Possessions is brilliant! Damn, wanted to post the Nihil Nocturne - Entheogen track. Can't seem to find it on youtube. The whole album is there though, it's all good actually.

I wish I had more sourcy records. Have the Exorcise the Demons. But it's complete crap apart from one track. Mind Weaver, which is totally mindblowing.

I live, therefore I'm seriously happy!

Well, don't look at me! I'm an aspie! I don't get it anyway. I live, time moves forward, shit happens, love happens, music happens.

Hah! Being happy always pisses people off. Mainly because there's so much more to life, apparently, than being happy!

Listening to Flogging Molly - Drunken Lullabies at insane volumes

pfff... gadamm! Dudes! Dudettes! Wipeout... wiiiipeout all the way --- --- Of course a passage in FFX made me buy the whole freakin' 4xCD compilation. Insanely deep... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGb0t19n2LM --- another one... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6YMf4x16eY --- It should be 'People Of The Far North'... don't know what they got the poles from. --- --- Almost forgot The most important videogame theme of my earlier years. This was 15+ years ago. And I'm still amazed. --- and the, unfortunatly very much shorter, theme of the follow up Infinity. --------------------- Admin edit: please, when you have something to add, don't double-post all the way down ... you can also use edit ... I now merged them, separated by hyphens "---"

I'm fuckin' happy as happy as you can get and beyond. Mainly to piss people off.

I miss my cats! Took care of three little critters. But no more . Problem is that they resurface in my dreams. Let them out, let them in, feed, rinse the litterbox, rinse their fur... purr... damn...

It depends. When I decided to go to fusion in '08 on a bike from Stockholm I was without internet for roughly 3 months. So I might manage if I simply put my mind to it. The web is still wonderfully sweet.

I could +1 pretty much everything master noebis posted. Doing presentation in front of a crowd isn't too much of a problem mostly because it is a fact driven situation. Of course I'm usually a nervous wreck the few minutes running up to it but these days I simply let it do that and turn it into something constructive instead. Unfortunatly when it comes to pubcrawling or other festivities I'm a complete nuisance. I can essentially kill a party just by my mere presence, OK it's not that bad. But I shy away from people in general, of course if someone wants to come by my corner in the bar and talk I'm all ears. Generally I can not relate to people at all, and discussing something is out of the question because I don't have much of any opinions on anything. I like facts though, but discussing facts isn't exactly "fun". Mergi-"You know, today I recorded a lot of new vinyls. When I'm done recording I sort the recordings after I've edited them and normalized them in folders beginning with a folder for the label, then a folder for my a- and b-side...." Well you might get the drift... Going on dates is a fucken nightmare. I feel like I'm on a job interview and everything is going down the crapper because I simply can not understand any of the messages the lady is trying to send me. But that goes for a lot of human innuendoes. Irony, sarcasm, jokes so on so on. I simply do. not. get. it.

Fellow aspie reporting in.

Hah! 10+ years since I posted that review. So, I might wonder if it has aged well and actually I did record the vinyl (going through the whole collection ridding myself of crap records and restoring some old withered but good memories) about a month ago. It is still very good. Pretty much all of her productions from '95-'99 are good. Unfortunatly the a-side suffers from some bad mastering or pressing error. Tellus Twin starts of nice and crisp but somewhere halfway through someone rubbed the wrong knob or something, it all goes slightly muffled. It's still bearable so don't shy away from the vinyl if you find it somewhere.

Since my first taste of this in Neal Stephensons Cryptonomicon I've been hooked. His later work The Baroque Cycle is ridiculously extensive but my weakness is to finally get a sense of what character our legendary historical figures actually was (or at least a good interprative approximation of them), and in this work it was Newton. In these books they become human. Dan Simmons did a lot of well written historical fiction in thriller/horror settings. I've got The Crook Factory waiting in the to-read batch on top of one my shelves. Very much looking forward to reading it as Drood, Terror and Black Hills were all very very good. I'd actually recommend anyone who is interested to make a note of these titles and buy them as quickly as possible... I'd also highly recommend The Mongoliad (which is a trilogy) created and written not by one or two authors but by a myriad of people, experts in all sorts of different fields. Trying to pinpoint every little detail from way back when (I think the mongoliad plays out around 1240). I think they did real good on this one. I'm not too interested in alternate historical novels, I tried John Birmingham (Without Warning, After America, Angels Of Vengeance... yes another trilogy), quite entertaining but not really my style. But if you got any historical fiction to recommend I'd be very happy.

Gavin Smith - The Age Of Scorpio Still trying to wrap my head around whats happening... Veteran and War In Heaven, his two earlier books, are some serious shit. Hopefully this one will live up to it. ___________________________ William Gibson - Virtual Light The first book in his second cyberpunk trilogy. His imagination is steaming as usual but he still retains that stuttering dialog where everyone is simply talking in metaphors and gimmicky one-liners, it's quite frustrating. He (Gibson that is) is showing great signs of growth in his writing style, the culmination of that growth truly shines through in his latest trilogy (Pattern Recognition, Spook Country, Zero History) which also is his best.

I found the CD at 20 euros... I found the vinyl at 9 euros. Both second hand. I'd say for collectors this should be at most 50 euro a piece (the CD). I have no idea why these old goa albums go way up price-wise... !?
