I like autum

Out of the four seasons I like autum the most,.
because it's the me of seasons.

It doesn't insist on itself,
like spring with its bright light and colours,
constantly blooming flowers and trees
and plentiful cultural celebrations.

It isn't unpredictable like summer,
with its constantly alternating sun and rain,
mind-numbing summer-menace and
possibly cancelled concerts.

It doesn't act all internet-emo like winter,
going all dark and gloomy,
dragging everything down with storms and chills
and making you wish it was all over.

Autum is just what it is.
Subdued leaves and grey everything.
The same year after year.
Matching the natural melancholy of my home.

I like autum.

On the cosmic side of things

So, I think that it's pretty obvious that I'm a comic book reader. While people may think this means that I'm all about the mainstream characters like Batman, Superman, Spider-man and the like. That's wrong... kind of. I still love most of the more publicly known heroes but ever since 2006 I have largely been more interested in the adventures and exploits of the group of characters that have designated as cosmic heroes.

Nerd squee!

AVENGERS TRAILER YEAH!

Harry Potter Retrospective Finale

Ok then, time for a few last words about the Harry Potter series before going back to comics and comic book movies.

Harry Potter Retrospective Part 7

With a content smile he closed the last volume and replaced next to its older siblings on his bookshelf, smirking a little at the book's pristine condition compared to the first one's marked form.

He surveyed all seven books together. The experiment had been a success. His understanding and appreciation of the scope of the tale was now greater than before. It was with pride and happiness that he displayed the collection in his room.

And so, with this part of the experience over, until he would choose to do it again, there was but a few things left to do.

A conventional meetings of youngsters

Rising tension

Moment of silence

Speed explosion

Skill, strength and blood
Twist and domination as despair grows.
A cry of compassion
DETERMINATION!
Ignorance of pain
Clashing beliefs
The ultimate is grand and loud
Triumphant joy
...relief...
Epic :)
