Legend of the Seeker

Even though the cold has got the better of me, I'm still as prone to nerdyness as I've ever been. Lately I've been streaming Legend of the Seeker, a new fantasyshow about Richard Cypher who is the Seeker of Truth. (Legend's based on Terry Goodkinds books about The Sword of Truth.)

Richard and his two loyal companions; Kahlan Amnell, a confessor and Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander, wizard of the first order are united in a quest to defeat the evil lord Darken Rahl. On their quest they are guided by a prophecy that says that the Seeker of Truth will defeat the dark master. To defeat him, Richard has the book of counted shadows that he will decipher with the help of the confessor Kahlan. A confessor comes from an ancient order of magical women. She has the power to make anyone she touches tell the truth, but whoever she "confesses" also loses their free will and is compelled to love and obey her for as long as they live. 

Richard and Kahlan soon develope feelings for eachother, but because of Kahlans gifts, she can never truly be with Richard for the risk of confessing him, which would remove his will to complete his quest. *aaaww*

As you might have guessed, the show satisfies my every need for romance, adventure, medieval chivalry and swordfighting. It comes from the creators of Xena, the warrior princess and Hercules, which it also has strong similarities to but it also resembles Star Wars and even Wheel of Time.

And not only is Legend a great new fantasysaga, it is also shot entirely in New Zeeland, which is famous for it's beautiful environment which is also captured in films as LoTR, the Lion, The Which and The Wardrobe, and so on and so forth...

The show is currently on it's second season. Watch it, that's my tip of the day!

Cold still

It's cold here in Trelleborg. Not as cold as in Älvsbyn, of course. Its about 0 degrees celcius, so I am not complaining on the weather at all. I am talking about my cold. I've pain in my joints, I am tired, confused, dizzy. Some sniffeling is in order too, but my nose is not the big problem here. I'm a trainwreck, so tired I can hardly stand. And tomorrow I am going back to work, cause I have four very important meetings, which I don't want to postpone.

I am going to seek out some warm attire, drink plenty of fluids and get a lot of sleep - starting right now.

Stay in-Weekend

Since I've been suffering from a cold and out of sorts, this weekend I've stayed in bed, watched shows, read books, cuddled with the cats.... It's been really nice and comfy, but I've been somewhat restless too. I want to socialize, play games, have a beer (or plenty of them!). I'm thinking about inviting lots of people to come and play games with us sometime soon, but unfortunately we live a long way from the others and the travelling has been a big problem 'cause of the weather, so, best wait until it's warmer. (But I wanna do it now!)

Well, well. Tomorrow it's a new jobweek, with plenty of socializing. It feels good to be all relaxed (not to forget - wellslept!). It's gonna be a busy week, and I'm going to take the bus to work the whole week which means I'll catch up on my reading, but also loosing some sleep 'cause of the early hours.

Now we're going shopping for food,

Cheers!
