Hello!

plump Today I am happy! And when I dream I'm plump like talking, I talk with the readers of this famous blog (okay, not famous, but it is not our intention!, Which visitors find easy).

Conan, el cimmerio First, and most importantly, I have a new book, recently purchased second-hand market of Santiago. This is nothing more and nothing less than the first volume of "Conan the Cimmerian" the magnificent Robert E. Howard. , supreme colleague Lovecraft's pseudo-messiah and both insane Bram Stoker. The book that I'm excited because I have in my possession Volume 2, and the following are easy to find, peror for some obscure reason Volume 1 slipped me a little. publisher is Timunmas and are very good editions: good paper, illustrations, just and of good quality by Mark Schultz several complete stories, a handful of loose stories and what I liked: photocopies of maps Howard made by the very end of the book, which shows how he built Conan's world through us. If we add the obvious: a book of Conan! Already understand why I'm so happy.

For those who do not know, Conan is a barbarian land of Cimmeria, something like a land of Vikings. Only snow, mountains, a sea ice at times and, when the sunhit hard, the greener pastures of the world. The guy is tough as Chuck Norris can only be, but need not think much more logically acts that many of his enemies. It is characterized himself as a warrior, thief, pirate, murderer, and even the king, when Aquilonia crown (and old).

Conan count this because it is to be in fashion, so it seems. Recently they released a game that looks like it will have or has an impact (I do not know what game you have not), and there is a very advanced film project in which, according to rumors, will act Gerard Butler as Conan. Have to see it, I say.

The other thing I want to convey: a tribute to two songs a little older and a bit dandruffchairs, but that I love. The first should be known by anyone who has ever seen the simpsons:

Rock me Amadeus

And the following is one of my preferred, I can not help hitting a few shouts and throw punches when I hear it. I guess I'm not alone:

Kung Fu Fighting

Uhm ... that tranquility. That Crom

go with you!
