Reading

Imagem
Ando a ler os livros todos do Harry Potter, o feiticeiro que toda a gente conhece e que faz vender livros, filmes, vassouras de plástico, impermeáveis, etc. Já tinha lido os quatro primeiros livros da saga - Harry Potter e a Pedra Filosofal , Harry Potter e a Câmara dos Segredos , Harry Potter e o Prisioneiro de Azkaban e Harry Potter e o Cálice de Fogo - todos em português. Destes, o que gostei mais foi o terceiro e o que gostei menos foi o quarto. Agora, estou a ler os outros dois. Para já, ainda vou no quinto, Harry Potter e a Ordem da Fénix , pouco adiante da metade, mas estou a ler em inglês - Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix . Lê-se muito bem o original, até podia ter lido os outros em inglês! Depois, ainda tenho o Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince . Ficam estas sugestões de leitura para quem ainda não leu; quanto aos filmes, não gostei, por isso não os aconselho, vejam se quiserem!

"Without You I'm Nothing" Strange infatuation seems to grace the evening tide. I'll take it by your side. Such imagination seems to help the feeling slide. I'll take it by your side. Instant correlation sucks and breeds a pack of lies. I'll take it by your side. Oversaturation curls the skin and tans the hide. I'll take it by your side. tick - tock [x3] tick - tick - tick - tick - tick - tock I'm unclean, a libertine And every time you vent your spleen, I seem to lose the power of speech, Your slipping slowly from my reach. You grow me like an evergreen, You never see the lonely me at all I... Take the plan, spin it sideways. I... Fall. Without you, I'm Nothing. Without you, I'm nothing. Without you, I'm nothing. Take the plan, spin it sideways. Without you, I'm nothing at all.

Review: Alternate reality games think outside the box By Marc Saltzman Gannett News Service Friday, August 11, 2006; Posted: 2:12 p.m. EDT (18:12 GMT) "Perplex City" is a trading card-based ARG that has recently become popular in the U.S. and Europe. The latest gaming craze doesn't require a joystick, console or even a television. Instead, you embark on real-world scavenger hunts in search of clues; decipher cryptic puzzles buried on fictitious Web sites, or call phone numbers to hear pre-recorded messages. Called "alternate reality games," or "ARGs," these multimedia adventures blur the lines between fiction and reality. Unlike traditional video games, ARGs let you experience a game that goes well beyond the four corners of a TV screen. Many ARGs also encourage collaborative work between players -- online or in person -- in order to unravel a mystery and solve the game. In May, "The Lost Experience" debuted from the makers...

'Undercover Kitten' dies in traffic accident Friday, August 11, 2006; Posted: 1:30 p.m. EDT (17:30 GMT) Fred, a stray tabby, found fame and awards in undercover work for the Brooklyn district attorney's office. NEW YORK (AP) -- Fred, a tabby who found fame as the "Undercover Kitten," has died in a traffic accident, the Brooklyn district attorney's office said Friday. Fred was a rescued stray when he was enlisted by law enforcers in February. He posed as a would-be patient to help police nab a man pretending to be a veterinarian. He got his due at a press conference, where he sported a tiny badge on his collar. "He's pretty easygoing, a real Brooklyn guy," his caretaker, prosecutor Carol Moran, said at the time. Fred received a Law Enforcement Appreciation Award and was honored at "Broadway Barks," the theater district's adopt-a-thon benefit hosted by Mary Tyler Moore and Bernadette Peters. Fred accidentally got out ...

Contest #1

Pois é, pois é, cá estamos, meus amigos. Hoje lembrei-me de umas coisas interessantes. Lembrei-me de fazer um concurso (não, o título do post não era uma alusão a outra coisa qualquer, escrita sem aparente nexo só para vos fazer perder tempo a ler este post :P). Um concurso sobre algo útil e, a meu ver, muito interessante. Assim sendo, lembrei-me de começar (concurso n.º 1, quiçá se não virão mais...) por um concurso de ideias e acções relacionadas com a Educação Ambiental. Título do concurso: Ecolideias Regras e modo de participação: Quem quiser participar, tem que deixar um comentário neste post, devidamente identificado. No comentário, devem constar ideias para pouparmos a Mãe Natureza e tornarmo-la mais vital e saudável, numa altura em que sabemos que muitos dos seus recursos estão em risco. Essas ideias têm que ser sugestões de algo que já se pratique - e que quem comenta a execute, é importante! (ex.: separar o lixo, etc.) - ou então de algo que possa ser melhorado ou implementad...

McDonald's ajuda a salvar a floresta Amazónica

McDonald's joins fight to save the Amazon Take your hand off the mouse. Now reach over your shoulder, and pat yourself on the back. Because you did it. The mighty McDonald's jumped when you objected to their role in Amazon destruction. After only a few months of being in the spotlight over rainforest destruction, and receiving more than 30,000 emails, McDonald's not only made a U-turn in no longer sourcing soya from the ashes of the Amazon but are also actively urging other companies to join them. This week the world saw what happens when tens of thousands of Greenpeace supporters from all over the world act together as one to protect the environment. So take a bow, smile and accept our heartfelt thanks for your efforts. Fonte: Mailing List da Greenpeace Fazer mais: And then put your hand back on the mouse, and tell Kentucky Frie...

In-game advertising comes to Monopoly 7/25/2006 11:39:06 AM, by Nate Anderson In an effort to remain relevant, venerable board game Monopoly has been given an electronic European makeover. Capitalist robber barons in the UK will now have the option of making a cashless fortune thanks to a new version of the game that features an electronic card from Visa instead of paper money. The new card, which resembles a debit card, is inserted into a small plastic reader/writer that can display and update the balance on the card. Traditional money is gone altogether, though purists can still purchase the original version. Visa's partnership with Parker Bros. seems designed to bolster the belief that using paper money is baffling and insecure. A new version of the game also features updated London property prices, with the most expensive spot going to Kensington Palace Gardens at £4 million. Monopoly now has so many editions that it's difficult to keep...

RIP, Sarah.

"A couple days ago sarah known as mxgurlie101 was brought into the hospital for malnutrition, heart failure, and failing kidneys. Im sorry to say she is no longer with us and dyed on july 22 2006. As she knew she knew she was dying at a weight of 60lbs she wrote a letter to me on a piece a paper she asked for. She wrote to me telling me to write emails saying goodbye to all her friends and to make an account on this exact website and go to her last post and write this. She also wrote to say goodbye exactly to v00d00cita for being there for her and helping her on her journey she really appreciates your support. Rip sarah oct 1 1991 to july 22 2006" P.S. - Era amiga minha. Alguns hão-de perceber a história por trás. Aos restantes, pensem. Bulimia mata.

Empathy

What's your inner power? (Girls only sorry. Beautiful anime pictures, lengthy results) Empathy- Your inner power is Empathy! This means that you have a talent for identifying others emotions, often by simply glancing at them. You are EXTREMELY shy and quiet. People sometimes dont notice youre around and seem surprised to find out you even exist in a big class. Youre the often silent, goody two shoes, and few get passed the walls youve built up to stop yourself being hurt, as you no doubt have been in the past. Not everyone understands you, in fact some think that youre a snob or worse because you rarely participate in group activities. Youre extremely sensitive, even the least harsh of words can hurt you. Only your very few, closest friends who have earned your hard-to-get trust know who you really are inside; a sweet, gentle young woman who is lonely and so desperately needing friends to support you. You can get very depressed and not always know why, despite your pow...
