My blog has been kind of on hold for about a month, not having much to write about. We went to Mallorca though, to Alcúdia, to be specific. The beach and hotel were great, except for when it rained. Try entertaining a two year old in a hotel where there’s nothing to do when raining. I bet you’re just longing for home, aren’t ya. I know I was. But the few sunny days we had were great. I sort of miss it. :)
I recently quit World of Warcraft, again. The guild was going for an achievement, and I screwed it up, and felt really really bad afterwards. When a game starts making you feel bad, that’s when it’s time to quit, especially for me, as I was addicted to it like 1+ year ago, or around there. But my problem now is, what to do? I’m currently playing Bioshock on my Xbox 360, and I could always buy more games for the console, but even there you can only play a limited amount of time before it gets boring. And I can’t read at home either. I spend 3 hours in total each day traveling to and from work, and having a sort of anxiety-problem, the books distract me when in a crowded place. If I read at home during my free time, I’d go out of readingmaterial pretty quickly.
Speaking of which, I just finished the Twilight-series. -Excellent- is all I have to say about it. If you’ve been as big as fool as I am, you’ve probably seen the first movie before reading the books. Big mistake. I highly encourage you to read the books first, then the movies.They only get better, and the last book, Breaking Dawn, is awesome.
I’ve now moved on to Best Served Cold, by Joe Abercrombie. Only read about 20 pages, but it seems very promosing. I can highly recommend his other books though. If anyone has any suggestions for any books I might read, I’d highly appreciate it.
Check out Conn Iggulden’s “Emperor” series, it’s historic fiction about Julius Caesar’s life. I know you like Rome and that of course features heavily in all the stories.
