    What is the difference between SW and ST?

    maybe you guys can help me out. The only science fiction books I've read are Star Wars, and I want to venture out from this narrow collection. I also want to read something similar to SW that is equally good, and that brings to mind Star Trek. so.... my main question is, what is the difference...

    Eureka Seven

    who here have seen 'Eureka Seven'? I've only started it and I find the idea of mecha flying on boards very refreshing, as well as the idea of um, mysterious currents that only the few die-hard fans can ride. so far, the anime remains as a mystery to me. The plot is still vague and such, but...

    Yakitate Japan

    has anyone seen this anime? it's almost near the end... or so I heard. Anyway, it's an anime about making bread, like Hikaru is about Go, but Yakitate Japan is a funnier series. :D It's soooo funny!! sometimes I find the jokes a bit silly, but I press on, wanting to see what other amazing...

    Snowy Hydro sale

    yes, the Snowy Hydro sale. I think most people are opposed to it, myself included. I was happy when Howard said he was going to pull out of the deal. But it really bugged me. Impression of Howard: once he's decided on something, he'll go ahead with it regardless of public opinion (like the...

    Write like a RPG player(s)

    I was just reading something and I thought I'd share it here. Currently I'm obsessed with Steven Erikson's fantasy series which is putting off a lot of people who find it too complicated and is also drawing a lot of people who are tired of the typical models that are prevalent in today's...

    What animes do you think are overrated?

    for me, two animes come to mind: Inuyasha and Bleach. Reasons for Inuyasha being overrated are probably quite well-known, if any of you have seen that anime, so I'll get down to Bleach. Sorry if I offended anyone. 1. The plot is linear and simple. 2. Ichigo is an invincible...

    Kino's journey

    I just finished this great anime! what a piece of art. sad thing is there're some episodes that i don't get what the author's trying to say. Who's seen it? maybe you guys can give me some hints, like the book episode for example. I wish they made more. Just love the way they wrap the...

    The Greenhouse Mafia

    http://www.abc.net.au/4corners/content/2006/s1566257.htm did anyone watch tonight's Four Corners? the program speaks about the coal industry influencing government policy on tackling global climate change. No interviewees who still work with the government want to be identified, so all the...

    Sydney - running out of places to go

    :sigh: me and my family spent the whole night trying to figure out what to do on the weekends. Some wanted to go fishing, but some didn't want to wake up so early. We've been to the city, been to the beaches, been to the fish market, been to the Blue Mountains. Where do you guys go when...

    Melbourne is beautiful and ...

    tag on: Sydneysider just visited Melbourne. Melbourne is really beautiful. Just the Yarra river alone makes it stand out so much. I can tell the city is well planned. Even the architecture of the buildings, as not one building is the same. oh yes, the SBS building alone beats all the TV...

    Infinite Ryvius

    i've just started watching this anime, and my, it's awesome! 487 (did i get the number right?) students on board of a powerful vessel with no adult supervision. Most of the reviews out on the net refer it to the book "Lord of the flies". I haven't seen that book, but i don't need it to be drawn...

    Melbourners?

    who here lives in Melbourne? i'm planning for a trip to Melbourne (hope there won't be any bushfires by then), and i'm wondering whether you guys can give me some tips. How many days do you reckon is needed to just check out Melbourne city? are there any nature scenaries that are within driving...

    How many stories do you write at a time?

    Some people can multi-task and write 2-3 or even more at one time, while some, like me, can mostly focus on one.

    What times are you unable to write?

    for me, i find it hard to think after work, nor can i write at work. and when it's hot, my creative juices get sucked dry, so writing after an exercise yields nothing.
