Gah...Russian literature is DEPRESSING.
I've heard that Dostoevsky is depressing but even Chekhov is depressing in his own way. Hardly any of the stories I've read have an optimistic ending and most of them suffer a lot psychologically in their social life and relationships. So far the only stories I like are 'The Duel' and 'The Lady with A Little Dog'. Hmm...totally not helping with my current mood.
And just a small question...

Is it me or doesn't Stephen Fry in this pic look eerily like Piers Morgan from the shows 'Britain's Got Talent' and 'America's Got Talent'?
Also I think I better stop memorising actor's voices so well...was watching this little vid of someone playing 'Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion' and swore that I heard the voice of the character Martin before...well, my inkling was right since that gruff Sheffield accent belonged to none other than Sean Bean of LOTR's Boromir and Sharpe fame. O___o

He does look a bit like Piers, doesn't he? Good. Now I know I'm not going crazy. Thought that no one would respond since Tweez and Reg aren't really into my sort of thing, lol. Someone who looks like Oscar Wilde? Interesting.
Btw, I've been recently playing 'Oblivion' and so far, it's a fantastic game. There are so many quests that it's seemingly endless (but fun), lol.

But wow, you're playing it now eh? *ish excited* I probably did the whole thing over 3 times already...and believe you me, that is PLENTY enough to make you quit lol.
What race you playing etc?
