Murders, books and plans

[starsthatshine]

I just(-ish) saw Midsomer Murders and oh, how I love that show. And this episode was particularly funny for some reason. The sarcasm was just pouring in, which was lovely. I think the episode in question was called 'Death and Dust'. I really have to get my hands on those novels which the series are based on. I saw there were two in my local (-ish) library and it will further distract me on my path on reading SWEDISH books. You see, I will fail my Swedish courses if I don't improve and actually read.

Which, Swedish friends or at least Swedish readers, my future Swedish grade is begging you to give me some recommendations on good Swedish books, or at least some that has been translated, because quite frankly, I'm in desperate need of something literature-ish. I tried reading The Devil Wears Prada in Swedish but it's boring me and I've only managed to go to page 40 in my attempts (count them, three). I tried to find the Dexter books alas my library isn't that cool.

Tomorrow, I'll be a training rabbit and work my ass off in the home-gym that we have, also I'll be perhaps watching Supernatural and then maybe some Sarah Connor Chronicles (to see if it's any good) and then perhaps sigh a bit about John Simm and then some about Ellos.se (oh, the clothes that they have there...)

mmm, sweet downloads XD

yep ^^
an entire year!
mwahaha, the final little project in it was to write a complete short-story. I actually wrote fanfic *laugh* (my teacher was all fascinated by the phenomenon)
Otherwise it was small things like character descriptions, news article, environmental description, weird kinds of describing emotions... you get the drift.

YEs, make your project around a movie script! Sounds very good ^^
Are you allowed to?
As a nature student I had to do something natural science oriented... bleh. Found a nice angle though XD (did a thing on HIV and AIDS)

me too, we should totally have a society like in Star Trek

Teachers usually are. Pop-culture is somehow always missed by teachers.
The only thing I really suck at is environmental descriptions. I somehow always think they are beside the point and I just wanna move on with my story :P And news articles... I dunno, I suppose I could do them :P

I'm not sure. Last year my school didn't have a 'you have to have social science in it' (I go a social science line with an emphasise on language and international negotiations) but I suppose I can always say that I'm through the story portraying how minority groups are treated in society or something like that :P

Star Trek? How's things there?

apparently yeah
(although thankfully my Chemistry teacher had some sense of it and made us play with Star Wars LEGO to my immense delight XD)

environmental descirptions are important though, so it's good to practise
news article was like, to learn how to write that way since it could be useful in fiction too.

*nods* at least that's something.
"Vampires are a minority!"

in Star Trek they have no money. They don't need it anymore. Which then means no povert and starvation etc (they have replicating thingies) And people don't do stuff to get money (like we do today) but to like get intelectual stimulation, better themselves etc. It seems like a nice world.
Oh and there're spaceships! XD

"Vampires are a minority!"
"In fact, they are such a small minority that they don't even EXIST! :D

Cool.

(I can write you know write like 'and the wind whistled through the ghostly white, still leaf-dressed trees' but if I'm suppose to write about how the tree floor looked and describe all the lines there, I'll get bored and stop by 'wooden floor' :P)

*laugh*


you just have to stick to putting them in forests XD
At least you say 'wooden floor' though, and not just 'floor'
