Crichton is Crichton

Wednesday, December 5, 2007

Finally, I had defeated the twin monsters: sloth and procrastination. Just finished reading Airframe, a novel by the salient Crichton(I like how he tenses up the readers; it is very impelling). I was told to read the novel uninterruptedly to fully create the element of suspense. However, although my reading was choppy, apprehension and anticipation still clouded the parts. In addition, the novel was written in a manner which constructs authenticity by the use of technical avionic information. I'd like to point out thought that despite this, it was composed with great attention to the readers' comprehension. I, myself, am not knowledgeable in avionics or aeronautics, but I was able to grasp the story. Something only Crichton can excellently do. Can someone make a movie version of this? I think it will shovel in gargantuan buckets of bucks.

“Crichton is Crichton.” - enough said. I have already read airframe before. Crichton is so good in building up the characters, somewhat you’ll see yourself getting pissed at them, especially jennifer malone. *wink*

Oh, that fucking Jennifer Malone. Haha. If it would be made into a movie, I want Meg Ryan to playact Casey Singleton.

meg ryan is too feminine for that role. He he.

if you liked airframe, you’ll like sphere as well. it’s by crichton rin.

I have another proposal. How about Sandra Bullock? I think she would be a good Casey Singleton. Whatdya think?

Sphere? Yea, I read it na. Freaky kaya. Gabi ko pa siya binasa, so lalo akong kinilabutan. Hehe.

About the Dweeb

I was spawned in the same year Alfredo Stroessner was overthrown, and on the same day the Australian Capital Territory Legislative Assembly met for the first time.

 

I am currently in college, taking up Bachelor of Arts Major in Economics and Bachelor of Science in Commerce Major in Advertising Management. I hold two majors, ergo the academic bane I will be experiencing is doubled. But so far, I have not yet swooned, thank God.

 

I am a control freak. 'Nuff said.

 

My usual McDonald's meal is comprised of Quarter Pounder, large fries and Coke, extra gravy and vanilla milkshake.

 

It is in my nature to assume responsibility. I often contemplate about the complexity of life.

 

I tend to shrink from social contacts and become preoccupied with my own thoughts. I often isolate myself from the pool. Don't get me wrong though. I am not deprived of friends; in fact, I have a bunch of good chums. It is always quality over quantity for me. I don't go for braggy and ostentatious people; I loathe them. 

 

I am not really adept in writing so pardon my tense inconsistencies of verbs, wrong usage of conjunctions and preposition, incorrect separation of paragraphs, faulty usage of colons and semi-colons, et cetera.

 

Respect begets respect. You're free to judge and read. But please observe proper netiquette - internet etiquette.
