For reasons unknown, libraries and bookshops stubbornly keep on placing sci-fi and fantasy books on the same shelf. I would very much like to know the origins of this custom, find whoever started it and kick his or her ass very severely. It may be undestandable to some extent, but it is also so. damn. irritating.
Anyway, which genre do you prefer? I tend to have mixed feelings here. Book-wise - fantasy all the way, no doubt about it (if only because Terry Pratchett belongs here), but when it comes to movies... With the possible exception of Lord of the Rings, fantasy movies more often than not prove to be disappointing. Aliens are so photogenic :)

How to survive Ryanair flight
Have you ever flown with Ryanair?
If you have - well, you probably already know all there is to know about this infamous airline.
If you haven't - here's the list of basic facts:
- Ryanair is an Irish airline, operating in western Europe
- It is probably the cheapest and the worst airline in the world
- It is famous for scandalous advertising and impoliteness of the crew
I once flew from Shannon to Bristol for 4 euros, both ways. No more fees included, just 4 euros, and that is why I will always defend their status as the rock bottom cheap airline, howgh. Just keep in mind that bargains like this are an exception, not norm. And, obviously, the journey was a nightmare.
Flights for 50 p are fabulously described in this video, which made me laugh like insane. Highly recommendable.

Probably the easiest rhubarb cake in the world
The humble rhubarb deserves more recognition, wouldn't you agree? Once it grows, it grows like hell and it can be turned into variety of yummy desserts. Yeah, right, everyone knows that.
I tend to get those baking urges from time to time. Rhubarb being in season plus me shopping for veggies equals a big, red-stalked bunch in my kitchen. Usually by the time it gets there, my enthusiasm expires and the thing to do is to utilise it in the fastest and easiest of possible ways. This recipe comes to rescue.
The article itself took got written during the cake's short stay in the oven. I was pissed off and exhausted after writing some really long piece, and I wanted something quick and effective, and I wanted it NOW.
Guess what, both the cake and the article proved a treat.
