Happy Birthday!
/Ylva Kresh (eagerly awaiting the next novel)

So here I am, stuck in Scotland for another year... so why not have a UK elohim fika??? How about something in connection to the presumably silly but fun Robin Hood festival that used to be in Nottingham in August each year?

Greetings from a Scottish Kresh (oops, there goes another sheep)

I think it would be very hard to describe someone like Darcy if you had Aspergers syndrome - I think it shows that she knows very well what is accepted behaviour and what is not (and you are supposed to take an disliking t...

Just made a search for Garth Nix and found this thread that I decided to wake from the dead (all in the very best abbhorsen-style of course: I do not think it had passed beyod the fourth gate yet actually). I really like his books and think he might have compeated with Donaldson if I they were writt...

You have probably allready seen this... but here it is anyway

I love Watership down. It was many years since I read it though. Liked the characters and the language (anyone else that sometimes thinks "Rhududu!" when you are annoyed with cars around you?). And the Black Rabbit of Inlé... I liked Watership down as much as I disliked Maia and therefore ...

So that is why I never managed to really come back the last time! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: From now on I will only read and follow threads that have my name in the subject. Cle...

Digging up an old thread that I felt deserved it... I am getting more and more scared - I am starting to believe that the green house effect is far more advanced and occuring at a much higher speed that anyone predicts. All the scientific reports seems to be rather careful in their predictions. The ...

Hi again everybody! A lot of things are new here at the Watch - I could hardly recognise the place. I suppose I have been away too long... It will take me some time to read enough to follow any threads. I hope all is well with all you fellow Watchers! See you again soon in threads or chats - whichev...

I know this is somehow slightly off topic, but I finished reading "The Eyre Affair" by Jasper Fforde a few hours ago it it was really funny! Recommended reading for those who like to know what happens if Jane gets kidnapped from her own book after saving Rochester from the fire... surreal

I read this when I was in my teens. I remember some passages with horrible clarity - pleople continuing running several steps after having their heads blown of and horses screaming while stepping in their own intestines and such. And mustard-gas (don't know the english name)... I went to Verdun (Fra...

I saw The death of a salesman about 10-15 years ago. I did not like it then. I was really upset about the stupidity of most of the characters... In a way I suppose it would insinuate that the play acctually was good (that I got emotional)

I attended a 5-week course in SF last spring. Among other novels The Time Machine was among the course litterature. I found it rather different I must say - It was not so much SF as a bitter satire (not sure that is the right word, but something close to satire) of Wells own time. I could not follow...

You are soo cute you know

Ok, here I go again - time for an Elohimfika I think! (especially since I finished the Runes about 20 min ago;-) I have been absent from the watch for some time, but I suspect there are still some scandinavians hanging around here? My base is Uppsala-Stockholm but I am open for other suggestions for...

Yes, I was very sad to read this back then. I even have a rather large (well, perhaps around 30 cm tall) G'kar doll standing on top of my DVD-shelf. The scary thing is that I immediatelly thought "he must have died from lung-cancer since everybody (in the extra material of the DVDs that is) alw...

It is pretty much against my principles, but I acctually stayed up on the ewe of the eurovision song contest only to see Lordi - there was a lot of talk of this group in the LARP-community the days before. Pretty little orcsesssss. Good for Finland to win this too, they have never even been close be...

They just started airing LOST here too, I have seen up till episode 12 so far. And I was just going to inform you that Mira Furlan (from Baylon5) was in it until I realised it was here allready, hidden under a spoiler... I just think it is "just perfectly-enough-creepy". The island seem to...

Interresting... almost fashinating. I just stopped by shortly to see if there was anything on KW about West Wing and what do I find on top of the TV-forum... I have started somewhat of a marathon and have seen the first 2,5 seasons in some weeks now. I like it so far, but I understand there will be ...

I will be turning 30 this year. Is it true that life ends somewhere around there? Allready the gray hairs spread all over my head.
