'Jupiter Amidships' by ST Martin

...a really really good book. The characters are well drawn, Jupiter is wonderfully flawed, as ever, and the depiction of the 18th century British navy is unflinching in its accuracy. There's not a lot of romanticisation here - you see it in all its bloody brutality. Having said that, I struggled with this book a little at times. The first book was very 'boys own' adventure, and this one even more ...

End or not...?

... at that moment until the time comes." Many would say that this is absurd, but that if one thinks about it anything that one does prior to such a time would be a waste and nothing more than futile romanticisation. Some may say that they will call their loved ones to tell them how much they love them. My view is this: If you have not told them or made them realize that you love them, then you ...

Fucked up people in the world (lucky I am not one of them ... yet)

... cast too... he has a cruel, hard-edged, yet handsome sort of face. Black floppy hair parted on one side. Deep sexy voice. Anyway Sylvia Plath is one crazy bitch. Why is there so much romanticisation over her and her dark relationship with Hughes? Pish posh. I say again - depressed people aren't very interesting. They are just depressed. Love me if you dare / jeux de enfants - another ...

Hero Vid: Sunburned by Kanzeyori

... theme I've seen before in my (somewhat limited but much enjoyed) exposure to ancient Chinese history; the idea that unified tyranny is superior to violent, warring freedom, and the lack of romanticisation of the heroism in the titular character's ultimate decision, is interesting simply because if we run similar hero-myths in western culture we are always so careful to dress them differently. I...

Arn the Templar

... to be merciful re: Jerusalem; Saladin sends him home to Sweden and his beloved Cecilia (and their teenaged son) – with a Saracen escort. So, as per KoH we have the Walter Scott-derived romanticisation of Saladin. Arn and his son Magnus then have to fight in a war of succession – bringing the film to a tragic climax in battle at Gestilren (1210). (The director shares Ridley Scott's penchant for ...

There's one thing I'd like to say

... to play when the right situation arises and making sure that the honesty of that persona is so far from truthful; it is easier to take criticism that way. The same works when writing; the over-romanticisation of sentences really makes the honesty level hold from taking a plunge. It's a sad skill. As of now, the value that any relationship used to have is slowly becoming less and less valuable. ...

Hm....I just looked at the time and I thought I should make the most of this wonderful witching hour. I love the romanticisation of these sort of things. Just makes things around you seem a lot more magical. Well, anyways, I'm sitting in bed with my lovely laptop (sometimes I wonder what I'd do without it and then I stop myself because I know I'd start crying) and drinking a hot cup of genma chai ...
