My day to day life is sometimes interesting, sometimes full of insight, and sometimes just plain weird. So, here for the very first time is the totally insane rantings and ravings of Catherine. I don't normally approve of sharing my thoughts with the internet at large, but what the heck. Let's give it a try, shall we? Monday, May 05, 2008    Damn, blast and a muddy bucket of pitch... Neil Gaiman did a panel with Isobelle Carmody in Melbourne, and I can't even get into his Sydney reading because I quite stupidly thought "maybe it was someone else's turn" and didn't book until it was too late and all booked out. It's just not bloody fair. My favourite hermit and my favourite author-about-town chatting about what inspires them, and I didn't even know it was on until it was over. I so would have blown off work for a few days if I'd known. *sighs* Anyway, have maths papers to mark. Bye blog.

Sir Cumference and the Dragon of Pi: A Math Adventure The scary thing is there's a whole series of these stories. Labels: books, childrens literature, geeks posted by Catherine, 3:59 PM | permanent link | (0) comments Friday, February 01, 2008    A thought experiment... Close your eyes for a moment and think about the Harry Potter books. The first ones were great, and a new one came out every few years as soon as the author finished writing it. Then imagine that the author got to the end of the penultimate book and got distracted, and she wrote a whole bunch of other books from different stories, instead of the ending of the series that made her famous. And that the two year wait between books became three years, then four, then five and eventually you just decided that you'd give up on waiting and check the internet every six months or so to see when the final book would come out. Then imagine that finally you find an announcement saying that the book is done and due in a few months and you start getting so excited that you barely even notice the caveat ("it's not the last book in the series, really sorry about that, but I'm done on the last one as well, I just didn't notice how long it was getting"). You realise that in another six months you will finally know how this story will end, and you've been waiting for that since you were 14 and first hooked on this book. And then there's an announcement: "Sorry guys, but I missed the editing deadline, it'll be another few months", and that'll make it nine years since the last book, but it's okay, because finally you'll know if the good guys make it through. Then imagine that you snuck off work early yesterday, because there were rumours on the internets that a few bookstores had put it out already (even though the official release is monday), and now you have the (second-to-last,-but-at-least-the-last-is-done) book in your possession, but you have to suffer through a day of work before you get to read it. *rolls eyes* All I have to say is that this better be an improvement over book 4, Isobelle, because I've been waiting since I was a kid for this book and I'm going to be really unhappy if it's just more filler.
