Came Back from Belgium and Other Updates

I think it's safe to consider the book as both real-life Drama and light fantasy, as both aspects are present throughout the book and interfere with each other on certain events, or more exactly, the book being Magic Realism.

The thing about it being real-life drama is that though strongly implied, I remember that they never mentioned that the story is in Colombia, so it could be another republic based on it, though with events that mirror those that also happened in Colombia (the banana plantation massacre for example, sadly did happened in real-life around the early 20th century).

In general, the book is a mindscrew in many respects, so your interpretation on events is as good as mine.

First, *Colombia, not with an U.

Yes i've read it and loved it, and dude, it's one of the most popular books in all over Colombia and everyone atleast knows the name. Same with Garcia Marquez as one of the most important Colombian icons. Though on the history part, it might be better to describe as based around 19th and early 20th century Colombia, and though there's some events on the book based on things that happened in Colombia, they are not mentioned by name. Besides, remember the magic stuff that happens in the book...

I saw the posters of this film in a lot of the double deck buses of London. Since i've long stopped trusting review blurbs in anything, i'm now convinced to watch this film thanks to you.

What are you going to be for Halloween?

Sadly, I was in London during Halloween, which except for some people dressed in the stuff, there's wasn't anything resembling the atmosphere. However, if count it as horror, I had to sit through the nightmare that was Mamma Mia! Do you have a costume of Mamma Mia! hater?

I'd be totally up to that Zombie paintball outbreak. Did anyone over there cosplay as Tallahase from Zombieland?

Indeed, Limbo is not horror, but not in the conventional way. What it does is fill you with opression and a sence of dread, as you roam a land hellbent on killing you. I actually made a blog about it.

Good to see some Destiny positivity after some of the small backlash it received. I want to play it, but sadly Bungie doesn't look keen on bringing the game on PC.

So do I, it would be better than that lousy musical licking the boots of Abba for succes.
