The borrowers are not illusory

Friday, December 7, 2007

Are you familiar with the flick/novel, The Borrowers? If you happen to hail from a different quadrant of the universe and have not heard of it, The Borrowers is a novel by Mary Norton, which later on turned into a film, about lilliputian people, roughly six to seven inches tall, who borrow things from human and somewhat manage to keep their existence unknown.

Apparently, in the real world, they don't exist. They are only fabricated in the creative mind of Norton. Maybe Norton used to lose a lot of objects, and she had nobody to pin the blame on.

Which leads me to my point. Recently, I am losing a lot of objects in my room - my Powerbooks Membership Card, CSI Miami DVDs, two books, nail cutter, razor, violet striped long sleeve polo - and I have no one to blame. I am beginning to suspect that Norton's idea of The Borrowers is actually true. Why? The objects which were allegedly stolen have significant use. Maybe the Borrowers got bored under the floorboards, and decided to join the bandwagon by watching CSI. Hey, they need to be in the trend too. However, there is a lapse in my hunch. My stuff are too big for the Borrowers, therefore my suspicion is implausible. But whatever, I reiterate, I have no one to blame.

I insisted to check the floorboards. The Borrowers aren't there. Maybe they are hiding.

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.

8 will soon hit the bookshelves

Monday, December 3, 2007

I am definitely getting a copy of Zafra's eighth Twisted, a collection of her seriocomic rantings. I got wind of the book's price and it's roughly 'round 250 bucks. Now, anyone bighearted enough to get me a copy? May I just remind you, Christmas is the time for giving and the time for sharing. I'll be waiting for it.

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.
