what do you mean you're the only non-white white guy? who do you work with and where?

we just came out of a three day -20C spell. -15C is when the boogers in your nose freeze after a minute. It's hard to breathe. Running is out of the question unless you want to shave your legs. you sweat, it freezes, your jeans break the frozen hair

not really a record. i've found it farther along some time ago.

I think I remember you talking about it when you came back about half a year ago. I think we were around the 700th page I'm all punmped up right now, finally found a beer worth drinking and since I'm a cheap drinker, I'm a bit woozy after 3/4 of the beer. Staropramen Dark Beer. There. Is. Nothing. Better. At least right now and right here. Lech Pils is also good, but that's only in Poznań. But I'm bound to be there at least a few times next year as Poznań is a major lacrosse competitor, so we'll be playing them for sure. Lots of stuff going on today. We might even find some lacrosse sponsors. On one side I'm surprised, that there's people that want to give us money for equipment, but on the other, lacrosse is much more understandable then american football for the people here. the downs system just doesn't appeal as much as a fluid and fast game.

yeah, well I'm sucking it in and heading off the forum again. I love dropping by here though and it's always fun when I do, but I don't really have time to sit around right now. a lot going on next year, I'm getting married for starters that's in July. till then I should have done my Master Engineer degree from WUT. I'm on Optics in Science and Technology, working on a new system for the measurement of diffractive elements. Got the band of course, which is going better and better. We actually had some people at the last concert. was a small club so the 50 people packed it up nicely and drank all the beer even before we started playing. fortunately the club quickly replenished the supply and last but not least I started a lacrosse team this year and December was breakthrough month, as about 6-8 new people came and we're on our way to start competing next year with the other two Polish teams Oh yeah, and I'm doing a weekend Optician course. It's a two year course after which I'll be able to open up my own practice and make and sell people glasses. Mum's an ophthalmologist so I might have a nice family business in a few years
so. till we post again. toodooloo

If I were to point at someone who's contemporary linguistics are my fav, it would definitely be Steven Erikson(author of the Malazan Book of the Fallen series). The words and sentences really make my brow sweat, it's just basic writing, but done in such a way that it's challenging to read. Compare that to the linguistics of Harry Potter, which is a book that you storm through and forget in a week. I like a book that makes you think hard when you read it. OK, so I am a big fan of sci-fi and fantasy fiction, but for instance I really liked The Memory of Running by McLarty. It's just a fascinating story and had me hooked from page one. It has something I identify with. This book that you're publishing just doesn't have anything I could possibly try to hook up with, and the summary just maybe has a bit of the wrong type of linguistics I expect from a summary, didn't appeal to me. Maybe it's too specific?
I'll let myself quote Erikson's first paragraph from Gardens of the Moon:
The stains of rust seemed to map blood seas on the black, pocked surface of Mock's Vane. A century old, it squatted on the point of an old pike that had been bolted to the top of the Hold's wall. Monstrous and misshapen, it had been cold-hammered into the form of a winged demon, teeth bared in a leering grin, and was tugged and buffeted in squealing protest with every gust of wind.

Well for one, I think it sounds a bit too complicated. Can't decide if it's fiction, science fiction, psychological, porn, rnr, whatever else and I have a thought that neither can the author. It may be just too many things at once right there in those few sentence, it seems to come out mumbo-jumbo, trying to be too spectacular and dazzling(word-wise). Anyway, who is this book directed to? Who's the intended recipent? Then again maybe it's just not the type of book I would read, definitely not in my morality range.

No, I think I'd rather grab a Shadowrun novel
