When Quality Isn't Enough
I’m really, really pissed. Why? I watched what’s most likely the last episode of Community in a very long time.
And it was SO AWESOME! They finally made a Glee parody. Ever since Jeff’s “I hate Glee”, I was hoping for another nods. And after they began the parodies, my top choice for one was always Glee.
And they got every damn thing right on spot. I watch Glee...

Why Thor?
Well, I was reading Huck Finn, but then I went to the bookstore and I kind of stopped. Why? Well, I saw that they finally released And Another Thing… here in Brazil.
That’s the Brazilian cover of And Another Thing
Here’s the thing; Eoin Colfer made a really bad move. This book shouldn’t have been written. But he did, so be it.
Just one thing that really pissed me off....

(Not) Studying
These vacations will be one of the most tiresome I’ve had. I decided I’m gonna make a better use of my time, and that means studying. My grades were good enough to justify a long time of doing nothing (actually, they were good enough to justify anything I want, because my average was more or less 9.7. And there’s the arrogance from the blog’s title), but I feel like I...

Silly Little Goals
I can’t walk into a bookshop. Not with money. Is not healthy for me.
Whenever I go to buy something specific, I end up with three or four books, none of which is the one I actually wanted to buy.
I have four goals on this matter. Let’s see which one I’ll finish first;
Buying all of Shakespeare pocket books
In Portuguese, of course. I always found amusing when people in TV...

Fall Season
Fall season is the one where all the “big” new shows are presented to us in all their glory. Last year was painful, but this years there were some really good ones.
Starting by what’s my favorite so far; Once Upon a Time. The whole idea behind the story seemed so damn silly I almost didn’t watch it, but the pilot was sooo good. And all the five episodes so far are so...

Books Are Cool!
Just like bow-ties, fezzes, bunk beds, glasses and a bunch of other stuff, books are cool. But why can’t people see it?
The last book I finished reading was Inkspell, by Cornelia Funke (weird, because in Portuguese it was called Sangue de Tinta, or Inkblood). Not what I expected, I must say, and there were some huge mistakes (what’s the deal with Meggie and Farid?), but still, it was...

Opening
This thing, well, I’m not sure of what I’m gonna do. I’ll post my comments on some stuff, but that’s not really a direction. Let me put it this way; if you like to read other people’s opinion on things you may or may not know or like, you might like this. If not, well… not much I can do there.
Let’s begin, shall we? I’m Brazilian, with way too much...
