Reading adventures

Today I decided to read something from Marjorie M Liu. She is the co-writer of Daken, Dark Wolverine (Wolvie's bent son) and she is a bestelling writer... so her works should be good yeah?

I thought so too.

"WHEN I was eight, my mother lost me to zombies in a one-card draw. It was not her fault. There was a blizzard."

Intriguing start. It would be even interesting, however her horrible writing style is throwing me off. Because interesting as it might be, she can't stop writing 3-4 word sentences at best. It's like a compulsion. To. Put. A. Fucking. Stop. After. Every. Fucking. Word. What the fuck??

An example:

"All of them, zombies. Human shells. Living. Breathing. Possessed.

My mother made me slide to the floor. I clutched the hem of her coat. I tried to be small. I knew danger. I knew threats. I knew a demon when I saw one.

My mother raised her hand. Metal sparked between her tattooed fingers. A star from the road. Bristling with spikes. The zombie smiled. He also raised his hand. In his palm, a deck of cards."

It is so. Fucking annoying. It's like some novice. Driving with brakes. Gas, brakes, gas, brakes.

It throws me off my natural rhythm. See? Gahhh!!! If she only used it once or twice in her books, maybe during scenes remembered, it'd be fine. I'd say ok, I can deal with it. But this isn't stopping.

Could someone please tell me how this fucking moron, who can't even write sentences with commas, be a bestselling author? Anybody? Please?

Vers, mert most ilyenem van

A Tó tavaszi éneke

Elment a jég, jaj, mindenütt
s ma minden kis nesz szíven üt.
Vagyok mezítelen kék elem
s testem-lelkem védtelen.

Belém tekint a cipruság,
borzol a szél: szomorúság,
a Nap is bennem sistereg,
kővel dobál a kis gyerek.

Ma minden bennem él, mulat,
a pillanat, a hangulat,
s akár hiszik vagy nem hiszik:
minden madár belém iszik.

Damn you, Devil! :P

Actually... it's more like damn you Marvel, but hey, I can damn Daredevil whenever I wish...

Thing is, they have this song stuck in my head: That Ole Devil Called Love. Really annoying, I tell you.

How did that happen? Well... it's all Lester's fault in the end for singing the damn song (when he is sent to assassinate Daredevil):

And just to annoy you guys, here are the full lyrics:

It's that ole devil called love again
Gets behind me and keeps giving me that shove again
Putting rain in my eyes
tears in my dreams
and rocks in my heart.

It's that sly old sun of a gun again
He keeps telling me that I'm the lucky one again
But I still have that rain
still have those tears
And those rocks in my heart.

S'pose I didn't stay, ran away, wouldn't play
The devil, what a potion he would brew?

He'd follow me around, build me up, tear me down
Till I'd be so bewildered
I wouldn't know what to do.

Might as well give up that fight again
I know darn well he'll convince me that he's right again.
When he sings that sorry song I'm just gonna tag along
With that ole devil called love.
He'd follow me around, build me up, tear me down
Till I'd be so bewildered
I wouldn't know what to do.

With that ole devil called love.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

"BEEBE, Ark., Jan. 2 (UPI) -- Wildlife experts in Arkansas believe high-altitude lightning or hail killed more than 1,000 blackbirds that literally fell from the sky on New Year's Eve.

The strange site occurred in the city of Beebe just before midnight as dead birds crashed to earth within a 1-square mile area of town."

Hellooo Flashforward! :D

Helloooo Prejudice

That's it. I officially declare Marvel as a bunch of stupid, very very very stupid and lazy Americans.

They have created a country in Central-Europe called Rumekistan. Muslims and Catholics live there. There is some sort of civil war going on before Cable blazes in to save the day.

I'm fucking offended all right.

I live in Central-Europe. We have Catholics, Protestants and a few Jews. NO Muslims. NO WAR. And NO FUCKING COUNTRY IN EUROPE IS CALLED ANYTHING-ISTAN. Try the Middle-East or Asia. Different continents, Marvelous morons!!

Obviously these people think that just because they are Americans they write the world maps and they are so fucking lazy they can't google up a map. What a bunch of waste of good brain matter!

People would think, or at least people who still hold brainpower in high regard, that stupidity like this has no excuses. Sure, it's fiction, but last I checked people researched facts before writing any fiction to match the world they wrote in. If it were written by any European they'd be shamed to hell and back and would be awfully sorry they even thought of making this mistake. Most Americans? They just shrug and say: oh, it's just fiction.

Like hell!! Most Americans do not study geography at school, they think we are Russians or ... Muslims. This is why at least Marvel should have gotten it right, because American kids at least read comic books. And now they all think we are dirt poor Muslims in a civil war, living in ruins, waiting for some strong American to save us. (No thanks. Piss off. Don't taint us with your stupidity!)

So from now on as far as I'm concerned the state of California resides in Africa. No harm done, yes? It's just fiction, after all. Or a blog. Doesn't matter much. To me anyway. (I can imagine a bunch of patriotic Americans screaming in disbelief. - Nah, just wistful thinking.)

But Marvel is still filled with stupid, lazy, careless people who don't give a shit about the whole world outside of their own little measly continent.

Oh my stars and garters!

I spent the night of new year's sick. Again. Very sore throat, manly voice, lots of sneezing, 200+ tissues.

And I was... still am reading Deadpool and Cable. The Marvel series, before you ask.

Never thought this pairing would appeal to me. But boy.. that kiss and all that bro-mance... frikkin hilarious. Now that I'm pumped full of meds I kinda feel a bit better and I laugh by throat raw.

I love Deadpool! He is such an awesome fellow. ^^

Oh and why am I quoting Beast all of a sudden? The Silver Surfer is back!!! Bwahahahaha!
