Short update as I am on my phone. The Eclipse and festival were great. I survived the heat and dirt and was not eaten, bitten, stung or injured by wildlife or wild doofers.

Watching totality was an amazing experience and I am so glad I was able to be there surrounded by friends.

Loved getting back to civilisation though, I've spent so much time ( Read more... )

Sorry for spamming with book ideas, but I have been hearing a lot of interesting ones lately.

This is an interesting read. If you have a few minutes I really recommend it, a story based on two characters in The Sims 3, who are homeless. Beautifully written.

I have heard a lot about the PS2 game "Shadow of the Colossus" and would like to play it, unfortunately it is about 3 years old and almost impossible to find, other than ebay of course.

Does anyone have it or know someone who might be willing to lend me it for a few weeks?

Hope everyone enjoys Royal :)
