Gone gone gone
Jun. 14th, 2008 09:26 pmI took down my fanfic from Underlucius today in case anyone had that bookmarked. I thought it was probably for the best.
I'm reading The Golden Key at the moment and I'm warming to it, albeit very slowly. However I did find it intensely irritating in the first few chapters, as there was so much repetition (Yes yes yes - the main character is talented but do you have to tell us every second paragraph?) and the faux Latin/Italian/Spanish, or whatever it is, is rather over-done for my taste. I mean when someone says "nezzo ira" (that's not the phrase, but the book is upstairs) meaning "don't be angry" and the other character says "I'm not angry" I just don't get it. Why is one character speaking in forren, and the other one not when they both speak the same language?? It's an affectation that I really dislike. However I shall stick with it for the moment and hope that it improves.
And WTF? I've been selling some bits and bobs on ebay this week and you can't leave negative feedback for buyers!!? What? What happens if they fuck you about? That's hardly fair.
Oh - and I got a job pack through the post today for a postion in Norwich - one of the tasks the job involved was "office stationary"
Not spell checking, then?
