![]() ![]() His twisted and cynical sensibilities, though, were instrumental in the creation of Seinfeld: fans who are familiar with both comedians' work agree that the tone of the show bears far more resemblance to Larry's worldview than Jerry's. ![]() Meanwhile, Larry was considered a "comic's comic": his fellow comedians howled with laughter whenever he was onstage, but his act was by and large too outré for mass audiences, and thus he was never really able to break out of the small-time club circuit the way Jerry did. Over time, Jerry's affable nature and accessible act brought him increasing success, with bookings on the Tonight Show and Late Night with David Letterman becoming more and more frequent as the '80s wore on, and even a small recurring role on the TV series Benson. In short, it was fertile ground for the observational humorist. Onstage lineups on a given night drew from pretty much the same small clique of performers, and in that environment comics got to know one another, became friends, watched each other onstage, bounced ideas off each other offstage. At that time, Manhattan was still an affordable place for the less-than-rich to live, and the stand-up scene was tight-knit and insular, centered around just a scant handful of comedy clubs: The Improv, The Comic Strip, Catch a Rising Star, and so forth. It was an art form that Jerry and Seinfeld co-creator Larry David were both experts in, after years spent honing their craft on the New York comedy-club circuit in the '70s and '80s, and in Larry's case, also during a brief stint as a writer for Saturday Night Live. Instead, it was intended as a show that demonstrated how a stand-up comedian comes up with the material that they use in their act: in Jerry's case, picking apart the little trivialities and petty annoyances of daily life and mining the comedy out of them. ![]() That phrase or variations on it popped up in reviews of the show almost from the beginning, but at the outset, that was not what Seinfeld was meant to be. the second show you just try and not fall off too much.") By its fourth season in 1993-94, Seinfeld was one of the top three highest-rated shows on American television, which it would continue to be for the remainder of its run.Īsk any American to describe the premise of Seinfeld and they'll always come back to the same four words: "a show about nothing". (Which is not to say that Seinfeld's success was solely due to Cheers as Jerry put it later, ".we started beating them coming on after them, which is just not done. Though its first seasons earned only modest ratings, the show was critically acclaimed throughout its run and, after being moved in 1992 to a coveted Thursday night timeslot directly after the long-running megahit Cheers, commercial success soon followed on a massive level. JERRY: Just talking? What's the show about?Ĭo-created by, named after, and starring stand-up comedian Jerry Seinfeld, Seinfeld ran for nine seasons and 180 episodes on the American television network NBC, premiering in 1990 and ending in 1998.

![]() ![]() Though the drive for us was miserable, any other time of year I am sure it is beautiful as 70 kilometers of the trip is over the Cienaga-Barranquilla highway, a road that goes over wetlands and where the Caribbean appears on both sides of the road. Despite the inconvenience, the pictures of Tayrona National Park, with many raving that it was Colombia’s highlight of the north, if not the entire country, proved too tempting to pass up. The journey was made additionally tough by the poor decision I made to visit this stunning coastline during October, by far the rainiest month of the year for the region. The city closest to Tayrona is Santa Marta, which is a four-hour bus journey from Cartagena and two hours from the other main coastal city of Colombia, Barranquilla, a cosmopolitan city that is home to celebrities such as Shakira and Sofia Vergara. For our trip to Colombia, we had based ourselves out of Cartagena and were short on time. Getting to Tayrona National Park was not an easy or convenient feat. ![]() Among these, one of the best national parks that you will find anywhere is Tayrona National Park on the Caribbean coast of Colombia. Visiting foreign national parks has become a passion of my international travel, because while visiting temples, churches, and museums is always fascinating, these are the places that other cultures and countries have classified as their most sacred gems that they must preserve. Utah’s five national parks are among the reasons that I chose to make this state my home. They are recognized as exceptional places that represent the finest landscapes in the nation, if not the world. I love national parks in every country where they exist, these lands are set aside and protected. For more of his writing, click here to view his index.

My Tiny Love devours any homemade jello I make, a whole pan of it usually doesn't last more than a day in my home because it gets gobbled up so fast. Trust me, the texture will not be smooth if you use a juice that is not clear. Clear juices is the key - you don't really want to use chunky, smoothie like juices or it won't turn out the way you remember jello tasting.

But what is to be done with such liberty? Other deities, pressuming that mortal lives can only be ripe for confusion and suffering, vouch for complete annihilation. He represents Nietzschean will to power, his sacrifice wistful and an opportunity for kith to disentangle themselves from gods and their machinery, attain liberty. On this intrincate canopy of recycled myths and all-too-human disquietudes Eothas (the one astray, making a mess!) rises as a prophet, a philantropist or at least so he claims. The Wheel concept, however, is picked up from easternly breezes, namely Hinduism and Buddhism it presupposes a mechanism of soul-binding in recurring stages of life and death (together with an interstitial state, the In-Between) with goddess Berath as their caretaker. Its treatment is poliphonic, diverging: different characters share their feelings of the matter: either desperate nostalgia for their inextricable gods, spite for their misdeeds and abandonment or utter rejection of their inmanence. The gist of Pillars of Eternity is philosophical, perhaps more actual than ever -kith are a metaphor for humanity in all its diversity and collective delirium -facing the struggle of faith crisis, godlessness and subsequently loneliness in our contemporary age an issue glimpsed by Nietzsche and practically all thinkers that ensued. It seems the lads at Obsidian -those who remain anyways from recent purgues- took to heart the dumbfounding complaint of ''Too many words'' and ''Too much text'' hence in POEII everything pertaining to its story (quests, companions and lore, sweet lore) is minimized, not synthesized but downgraded and sadly uninspired. In Deadfire, though assignee of a handful of neat design choices (sea exploration not everyone's cup of tea, but I enjoyed it fluid combat, optional level-scaling, etc.), falls short on what once was the trademark of this company: the narrative.

Just tired of managing all those buttons and tired of keeping so many numbers in my head. I'd rather have twice or three times less abilities and item effects, but making them more impactful. My biggest issue, besides the non-native turn-based mode that just lacks some zest, is the myriad little items and abilities, each with miniscule bonuses that just hard to manage and remember. Love the text quests, too bad there were not very variative and pretty short. Art and classic setting are superb, dialogs and text quests are pretty well done too.
