And a second entry today: my watch strap is broken. Can anyone think of anywhere in Lancaster that I could get it replaced? | | Wednesday, September 6th, 2006 | | 1:44 am |
An Open Request
Anyone, friend, foe or other: recommend me some music. Anything. Any genre. Any artist. Something popular that I've almost certainly got but may just have missed. Something obscure that I'll never find in a month of Sundays but would be worth searching for anyway. Something that has affected your life profoundly. Something that you used to like. Anything. I just got Limewire, you see, and need more stuff to download. | | Saturday, July 22nd, 2006 | | 8:54 pm |
 | You scored as Either. You brain is neither specifically male nor female in the way you perceive things. As bad as this sounds it can easily mean that you are capable of combining both gender aspects to your advantage. Rather than being genderless you are possibly able think freely. This does not mean that you are bisexual or androgynous or indecisive, but it might.

And whyever not?
If you read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now, (even if we don't speak often) please post a comment with a COMPLETELY MADE UP AND FICTIONAL memory of you and me. It can be anything you want - good or bad - BUT IT HAS TO BE FAKE. When you're finished, post this little paragraph on your blog and be surprised (or mortified) about what people DON'T ACTUALLY remember about you. --- Anyone sneaking in a real one with 'remember how we didn't do X' will be scolded. | | Monday, July 10th, 2006 | | 1:05 pm |

The following post is gaming-related.
I know. I have seen the secrets that many seek. People talk about them and claim to know them but few understand as I do. For through one man's insight the ways of power have been revealed to me! I see the paths that men seek to tread laid out before me as clear as day, shining before my eyes! In my hands I hold knowledge that men would kill and die for, placed there by one unknowing of what he surrendered. With this knowledge I could redeem the fallen, set men on the path to enlightenment and the fulfilment of their destiny, break down their society and rebuild it into a glorious monument to the manifest destiny of those who exist in it. With this knowledge, men may become as one with Gods. And I haven't the faintest clue what it means or what to do with it. FUCK. | | Saturday, July 1st, 2006 | | 6:04 pm |
So, what do you do? What's the weather like? Sunny. I bask! ...If by bask one means 'hide from the Sun'. Okay, I moaned that the Sun was gone when it was all dark and wintery, but now it's too bloody bright and way too bloody hot. It's about this time of evening as well that the light shines in through my window, so I've had to draw the curtains or be blinded, leading to more heat. And there's barely any breeze, so the air's thick and stale. Bah. I don't like summer. Give me Spring or Autumn any day. I don't burn, the air actually moves more than very slightly, and I have more extensive wardrobe choices. In other news, finished reading The Exorcist today (and an odd book it is indeed), and am just about to start on the book of Battle Royale. Seen the film and read bits of the manga (oh, the gore), so I'm interested to see how the final version looks. It strikes me that Battle Royale is a very good concept for a story. It's something that I wouldn't mind seeing remade, even if it did get Anglicised/Americanised/whatever. All kinds of themes ripe for exploring - how the kids react to their situation, the motivations behind The Program in the first place, to society that spawned it, wondering about how the world got that way... I'd best read it first. Sounds like an idea. Current Mood:  hotCurrent Music: Slade - Rogue's Gallery | | Friday, June 16th, 2006 | | 8:49 pm |
The Continuation Of Being 20
I now have my first raft of Birthday Gifts! Well, that's not true. I've got two gifts and got money from two other people with which to buy myself gifts. Well, three people, but I've only spent the money from two of them. Serves me right for not sending out my wishlist until thwe actual birthday itself. Anyway, I now possess: Volume 3 of Grant Morrison's Seven Soldiers Of Victory (Brother) The book of Battle Royale, apparently written by a man called Koushun Takami (Lesley and Steve, friends of my mother) Glorious, by Eddie Izzard (Parents) Season One of the X-Files on DVD (Aunt and Uncle) And money from the Grandparents still to spend - probably saving it for Affleck's Palace. I'd forgotten how good the X-Files really was as a series. Watched the first four episodes back-to-back, and by God they're good. Admittedly there are a few lapses in logic, even accounting for the premise of the series, and Fox Mulder is a tit who is one of the worst investigators I've ever seen, but as entertaining television which tells a good story, I actually prefer it to early Seasons of Buffy. I hope the gravity of the compliment in that statement is obvious. It's good to be home. And it'll be good to leave, and go home again. I never fail to be surprised by how odd it feels to think that. And I've just checked train times, and I may be back in time for the New GM One-Shots on Sunday. Huzzah! | | Tuesday, June 13th, 2006 | | 3:54 pm |
Another year.
It's my birthday today! Huzzah! Also, my father is now Doctor Tyler, his PhD having finally been approved. I like good news. Anyone got any more? | | Saturday, June 10th, 2006 | | 8:32 pm |

The Heartland Games!
The Good Bit:It's all over! And fun it was too; I came out with a nice new scabbard and a shiny shiny LARP-safe shovel, I got to legitimately not think about work and stuff like that, and to be with my friends a lot. It was good. The Bad Bit:I was going to make this a post about all the cool stuff that went on at the Games this year. Sadly, however, I can't do that. Stuff was happening in the world. There was plot. There was combat. There were new people to meet, new things to see and do. I wasn't, however, actually doing any of them. I paid £55 to sit in a field with my friends for three or so days, drinking a little, eating a little, sleeping a little. Really, I could have done exactly the same thing in Lancaster for less than a tenner. I could even have been wearing almost exactly the same clothes, only clean. The Bit That's True No Matter What:There are three things to do before the Event experience is over: shit, shower and sleep if you pardon my foreign. Two of these epic tasks are accomplished, and the third will be done sometime over the next few hours. I must eat food, I think, and perhaps get some last-minute revision done, but other than that I have nothing else to do before my exam tomorrow morning. Have a nice day! | | Wednesday, May 24th, 2006 | | 11:31 am |
More meme.
( Read more... )In other news, I'm feeling rather good right now. Heartlands are coming up, gaming is going well, I'm not very worried about exams - in fact, just generally feeling a lot better. Have a nice day, people! | | Thursday, May 18th, 2006 | | 2:49 pm |
100 questions
( Read more... )In other news, I'm back in Lancaster! I have the following items which I did not have before: 1 Chainmail shirt, aluminium, light, shiny, good condition. 2 volumes Global Frequency, by Warren Ellis. Oh hell yeah. 1 rulebook for the Blue Rose RPG. I like this, although I'm not sure how a fantasy setting that isn't either grim or funny would go down at LURPS. I shall have to see at some point. 1 CD: Inhuman Rampage by Dragonforce. Melodramatic Heavy Metal YEAAAAAAAHHHHH, BABY! My summer wardrobe. That is to say, clothes that aren't black. It's good to be back. | | Tuesday, May 16th, 2006 | | 8:04 pm |

Hmm. I've been in York for less than four hours and I'm already feeling homesick. Despite the fact that I keep referring to York as 'home'. And I'm missing ViP. I specifically didn't come back here over the weekend so as not to miss the Lives, and yet I end up missing stuff anyway. Damn my lack of planning! | | Saturday, May 13th, 2006 | | 12:04 am |
Prime
I just watched a romantic comedy that struck me as actually original. There may be spoilers herein if you want to see the film at some point. ( Read more... ) | | Sunday, May 7th, 2006 | | 3:08 pm |
Yes, it's another installment of the Weasel Report. Not a lot is happening right now. Watched Mission Impossible 3 the other day. A lot of my thoughts echo those of westslide, although I must admit I liked the romantic subplot with Ethan Hunt and his wife rather more. And no matter what Tom Cruise is like in real life, he can actually act and do so rather well. It wasn't an ego trip of monumental proportions. It was, in fact, very good. I would have liked it a lot more if they'd had the guts to just let Hunt die at the end, rather than have his wife resuscitate him, but we all knew that wasn't going to happen. It would have been a fine way to finish it off. There will be yet more gaming this evening, as once again I venture into the strange and murky world of Star Wars, this time under the guidance of one mister Baby John. I must confess, the idea of a game where the brief is "You wake up in a room. You have no idea who the other people there are, and you have no idea who you are," is very appealing to me. Especially when our stats will be decided later, based on how we play our characters in the first session or so. The Lives are going very well. Chainmail should be in my hands soon, Sebastian Galway and his cousin Isabel are doing very well at being sane and sensible religious fanatics, 'Bob' is coming rapidly to the conclusion that being a member of the living dead makes you into either a sociopath or a full-blown lunatic, and I must get around to running those Stormhaven adventures at some point. And I'm listening to Tom Lehrer a lot at the moment. I agree fully with the reviewer who made the observation that "Mister Lehrer's muse is not fettered by such restraining factors as taste." Yarr. |
