| 22:25.36 | stickster | figa may want to change that away/back notice or risk the wrath of other channels |
| 22:26.11 | plarsen | you took the words out of my mouth stickster |
| 22:26.27 | stickster | plarsen: Not such a big deal here, but elsewhere it can get you kicked or banned |
| 22:26.34 | plarsen | yup |
| 22:26.47 | plarsen | we don't have enough in the channel here for that to be a problem ;) |
| 22:26.53 | stickster | It's kind of a useless default anyway, and the developers of that client ought to know better |
| 22:27.01 | stickster | Is that xchat default? |
| 22:27.22 | stickster | I've been using xchat-gnome so long i can't recall. |
| 22:27.31 | plarsen | stickster: actually I think you have to enable that in xchat. By default I don't think it actually posts to the channel |
| 22:27.51 | stickster | plarsen: Your ancestry is Scandinavian, correct? |
| 22:28.15 | plarsen | yes |
| 22:28.29 | stickster | plarsen: What area? |
| 22:28.36 | plarsen | Denmark |
| 22:28.41 | stickster | OK |
| 22:29.38 | stickster | i was going to guess Danish or Swedish |
| 22:29.44 | plarsen | How come stickster? |
| 22:29.56 | stickster | Accent |
| 22:30.45 | plarsen | I mean, how come you ask? |
| 22:31.23 | stickster | I don't know why it occurred to me to ask... For some reason I was thinking about this Stieg Larsson book I'm reading, "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" |
| 22:31.33 | plarsen | :) |
| 22:31.38 | plarsen | Got a kindle don't ya?? :) |
| 22:31.40 | stickster | It was apropos of nothing honestly |
| 22:31.41 | plarsen | Yeah - good book |
| 22:31.45 | plarsen | Remember, it's a trilogy |
| 22:31.49 | plarsen | And quite graphic |
| 22:31.54 | stickster | I haven't been shot in the arm with it, honestly. |
| 22:32.17 | plarsen | I've watched the series in Swedish |
| 22:32.42 | plarsen | I swear one of the actors is Danish - but he should be a lot older ;) |
| 22:32.54 | stickster | I know it probably loses something in the translation, but I've read other Scandinavian thrillers that seemed more elegant in the translation |
| 22:33.09 | stickster | Smilla's Sense of Snow comes to mind |
| 22:33.28 | plarsen | yeah - I hear the book is a lot better than the movie |
| 22:33.35 | plarsen | I never got to read it. Got "distracted" |
| 22:33.40 | stickster | The book was phenomenal |
| 22:33.59 | stickster | Dragon Tattoo is kind of... meh. I'm about 115 pages in so the mystery has started |
| 22:34.10 | stickster | It's just that the language is exceedingly dry |
| 22:34.30 | stickster | OTOH it's supposed to be somewhat of a procedural. I don't read a lot of them, and that's usually why :-) |
| 22:34.44 | plarsen | I'll jump at some point |
| 22:34.55 | stickster | plarsen: Don't jump! We need you! |
| 22:35.07 | plarsen | That's part of the story - you're sorta starting mid way timewise as the book begins |
| 22:35.21 | plarsen | lol |
| 22:35.22 | plarsen | It'll* |
| 22:35.33 | stickster | Oh, I see, I goofed above |
| 22:36.03 | stickster | I meant that Smilla's Sense of Snow was phenomenal. Sorry, I mistook which you were talking about |
| 22:36.15 | plarsen | ahhh |
| 22:36.27 | plarsen | Yeah - it's rather sequential - true |
| 22:36.31 | plarsen | At least the movie was |
| 22:36.32 | stickster | There's *another* Girl with the Dragon Tattoo movie coming out next year, David Fincher directing (Se7en, Fight Club, The Social Network) |
| 22:36.35 | plarsen | And I wasn't impressed by it. |
| 22:36.53 | plarsen | Ohhh - an English language version? |
| 22:36.58 | stickster | I assume so |
| 22:37.00 | plarsen | Those have NEVER turned out good |
| 22:37.03 | stickster | It's shooting now |
| 22:37.12 | plarsen | Like "the kingdom" or "night watch" |
| 22:37.20 | stickster | Actually... Someone recently remade "Let the Right One In" as "Let Me In" |
| 22:37.22 | plarsen | Both extreemly bad in their american directed versions. |
| 22:37.31 | stickster | I saw the original "Let the Right One In" last year and it was just incredible |
| 22:37.42 | stickster | The English language one apparently was very good too |
