It is a sad, but well-known phenomenon that many movies that are based on books turn out plain sucky. That’s why it is usually advisable, if possible, to first watch the movie and only read the book afterwards so as to avoid the disappointment.
But there are, now and again, a couple of films that get [...]
T13 – 13 Book Adaptions That Don’t Suck
T13 – My reading year 2008 – part 2
This week I had a bit of trouble coming up with a topic for my book list. Turns out I could make lots of lists about the books I read, but almost none of them would have 13 entries. But with not taking the tpoic too literally I finally decided on this:

T13 – My reading year 2008 – part 1

TT #27: WP themes I like (part 1)
After I had some minor (*cough*) problems with my blog this week, I decided to do another blog design-related TT.
I recently talked to a friend, who isn’t using WordPress, and she complained that most WP themes look the same to her. Of course I told her nicely how absolutely wrong that was. Meanwhile, [...]
TT #26: Thirteen steps to a new blog design
As some of you might know I have changed the design of this blog a few weeks back. I am still not quite finished with it, actually (I still want to change the header graphic).
