"god,
Where the hell have you been. i have been looking all over for you and no find. Then all of a sudden you pop up on the internet. Come save my ass. If all you do is waste your time in front of computer; you have time to save me. Praise the lord."

[review]
Leo plays a game called Aperion. When she meets an odd npc monk called Fra Umberto, her real adventure begins. With Fra Umberto's help she enters Dløn. A backwards virtual world where nothing is as it seems. At first, she's looking for her friend Bri. But with giant barbie monsters with pteradactyl wings, toilet-dwelling man-eating rats, rivers of poo, talking paisley-patterened plants, kid-smashing Zamboni, disco vikings and cult-like clown schools in her way, not even finding Bri is what she thought it was.
While it's not the best book I've ever read...
it's definitely worth checking out. It goes ridiculous to scary to sad in a few pages. The heroine, Leo, seems genuine and real, playing the role of that sheltered self-assured genius we've all known at some point. She has insecurities and strengths, and real-sounding dialog and thoughts. In short, Leo is a very believable character. The book itself mostly reminds me of Dante Alighieri's the Inferno more than anything. With Fra Umberto playing Leo's Virgil. The different situations leo finds herself in are odd and seemingly meaningless at the time, and more often than not, meaningless at the end, too. It's a fun book, quirky and odd, with folklore thrown in from all over. Not quite heart-quality but a high diamond.
the pilot episode
Bored—beyond belief
Episode 1: Post-it-Notes PILOT
Announcer: This is something for the incredibly bored. Why? Because a bored person made it up. Like Post-it-Notes. The maker of Post-it-Notes remains a mystery. But they must have been bored.
(Camera zooms in on Post-it-Note)
I mean, really, the person put glue on a piece of paper and made it stick to stuff…
(Camera goes back to Announcer)
Anyway, that’s our show for today. Tune in next week for five whole minutes on the fun of watching paint dry.

Book I'm Reading...
by someone named… arne tangehrlini [no, i'm not kidding]
rather odd book.
At the top of the cover says something about ‘Alice in Cyber-land’
Like a spin off or some tripe.
But anyway, the beginning is rather trite. Lots of lost-in-a-game-world fiction these days.
Not very far into it. If it’s great though, you’ll hear about it more. If it’s awful, you’ll hear about that, too.
