[livejournal.com profile] kellychambliss, the undisputed queen of procrastination, found another delectable meme for when you don't want to shower, breakfast, collect students' materials, and generally get on with life. And one of the disadvantages of being self-employed is that even these things can be procrastinated over, occasionally.

Still, it's about time I set of for today's lessons - an hours drive away, and it's been snowing again. And minus 7C, I'v heard. Great little country, Holland, only it ought to have a roof and central heating.

In the meantime, I've had great fun creating a collage of pictures based on my interests. You can make your own here. Simply give your username and they give a collage, and then the fun part starts: choosing which pictures you like best.

Okay, which interest led to those flying horses, and where can I get a bigger version? It looks great!

The flying horses link to the Terry Pratchett interest.
Pratchet is a fantasy-writer. The picture in question is based on one of his books that star Death. A great (albeit thinnish) chap who can wield a scythe like nobody's business, and who tries to develop a sense of humour, too. And he has a marvelous SEPULCHRAL, INSTANTLY RECOGNIZABLE voice.
In one of the books he has to save the world, so he mounts his pale horse (called Binky) and looks up his cronies from way back when the Horsemen were still going strong. Unfortunately, War is now married and Mrs War doesn't hold with riding, Pestilence prefers the quiet life and Famine would rather play a round of cards...
In short, the four Horseman of the Apocalypse, Discworld-style.

Oh that sounds delicious! I've heard a lot of Terry Pratchett but never got around reading any books. What's the name of that particular book, I might look for it in the library.

I've tried to find the exact title, but I couldn't remember, and Amazon didn't really help.
Anyhow, the 3 books starring Death are: Mort, Reaper Man, and Hogfather. All three are excellent reads. Make you quite look forward to meeting Death. If only one could do that just for drinks...
