"The speed of light exists because that's the maximum speed this simulation can buffer environments for rendering and collision detection."
nice instrumental playlist

void Focus()

with Saltillo - "A Necessary End" - violins and beats
slowly it moved to more uptempo playlists without my explicit doing

Shirley Jackson - [unknown]
Still on 2read list, better get it out here:
Tell me about your sister, the little boy said. Was she a witch?
Maybe, the man said.
The little boy laughed excitedly, and the man leaned back and puffed at his cigar. Once upon a time, he began, I had a little sister, just like yours. The little boy looked up at the man, nodding at every word. My
little sister, the man went on, was so pretty and so nice that I loved her more than anything else in the world. So shall I tell you what I did?
The little boy nodded more vehemently, and the mother lifted her eyes from her book and smiled, listening.
I bought her a rocking-horse and a doll and a million lollipops, the man said, and then I took her and I put my hands around her neck and I pinched her and I pinched her until she was dead.

Neil Gaiman - "The Graveyard Book"
Had this for a few years, never bothered to read it. I noticed I have become a bit... less interested in his writing. It's great writing, don't get me wrong, but... maybe I read too much of it in too short a time. Two books I would reread: "Neverwhere", that one never fails to amaze me, and "American Gods", which I am not sure I understood completely.
The Graveyard Book, besides some wonderful drawings, is nice. Finished it in two days. It bothered me a bit though. it was... too simple. Why is Bod that special one? How does the Honour Guard and the Jacks relate? Jack Frost I got... but are the other Jacks famous Jacks?
But, the writing was well crafted and it was a lovely little story.

In Bruges (2008)
Great fun film with Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson (remember that name) and Ralph Fiennes (small role). Feel good in semi Guy Ritchie style. Good soundtrack, too!
Carter Burwell created the original score: somebody to look out for.
