So, after considering this for the past several years, I've decided that it's finally time to call it quits with LiveJournal. Looking back, I've had this thing since 2001, so we're looking at a good long decade of use here... hard to believe!

Still, I find that there isn't much reason to stay with it any more. Most of my friends here have migrated ( Read more... )

Circle Orboros, Hordes (Mine):

• Argus (x2) painted - 50%

OMG... hilarity!  Thanks to Brian for sharing this...

Shatner of the Mount!

And yes, that IS William Shatner on that recording (the whole thing was pieced together with snippets pulled from various readings done by Shatner of his own books).
