Got that treadmill feeling at the mo'. Life seems to pile tasks around me, and however many I complete there is never any less of them ( Read more... )

OK. Talking about bands on Ephraim’s meme has inspired me to do my own. I am astonished to find that I can’t even get to 20, let alone 30 bands that anyone will have heard of, but I am pleased to note that a fair few of them I saw on either their first or only UK tour, so what they lack in number they make up for in rarity value. And virtually every one ( Read more... )

I have just lost virtually an entire weekend to D&D and I don't mind a bit ( Read more... )

Sitting for Trance is proving to be really interesting. At first I had difficulty stepping away, and spent twenty minutes sat quietly, feeling spirit come close to me, but unable to move over and let them in.

Life? Who needs one anyway?

For those who do Maelstrom: if any of you are planning on getting there Thursday, ellistar and I will be there. If you fancy having an OOC drinkie with us Thursday night, then we will most likely be found in the Darkblade trade tent.

Sid Meier's Pirates is eating my life.

DO NOT play this game if you have a job/partner/hobbies, it is far, far too addictive. Only the fact that ellistar is a serial gamer with an addictive personality (who knows better than to even attempt to point the finger), is saving my relationship.

The good news is trivial, and the bad news is dreadful, so I have (hopefully) put the latter in a cut, so those who prefer not to read it don't have it thrust upon them ( Read more... )
