Dropped my ipad today. I've never had much good to say about ATT except that they're better than Verizon, but their Assurion insurance is worth the money. Filed the claim at ~2:30 this afternoon. When I started the claim I got an "out of stock on this model" message. 4 hours later a replacement was picked up by FedEx. Their website is informing me that since they were out of 16gb they shipped a 64gb.

Had a great weekend!

The first official multi-annual Scandinavian meet-up went most excellently (except for maybe the experimental jazz-part). No one turned out to be an axe-murderer, no one got their eyebrows singed off, no one sat in the corner and sulked. Although what people did after we parted ways I cannot say.

I bought a miniature fully-functioning trebuchet.

Also, Morgoth informed me I'm not a picky eater, I have a genetic mutation or whatever...so yay for that!

Are you sure Kaamos wasn't just being polite cos it was the first meeting?

I'm not sure about any of them...I guess we'll find out next time!

That jazz concert was one of the highlights of the weekend. I've looked all over for their music online, but no luck. In other words, you should try to be a good hipster and enjoy something most others will never experience.

Rest assured that I will begin to finger the hilt of my battleaxe on the erst instance of discontentment. Or someone elses, as they tend to confiscate mine on the airport.

Are you certain it wasn't Desucon?
I would suggest throwing a set of kettles down a mountainside or visiting some pre-automated shipyard for a similar effect.

Here's some of that Moonsorrow I talked about. Now we can compare who has an kvlter and heathener and trollisher odder taste in music.

That is a very lucky and very huge upgrade.

It gets even better. They sent me a brand new one, not a refurb.


Now I don't know whether to keep it or sell it. I really don't need 64gb.

I vote sell it, then buy yourself another 16gb one and roll around the floor in the excess money you have.

Or thats what i would do anyway...

In summer I had flower boxes in front of my windows and every now and then a bird would sit in them, so I decided to build a birdhouse and right now a bunch of great tits is flying around it.

I enjoyed experiences others didn't before it was cool.

Went to see 65daysofstatic in a Cathedral. That was pretty spectacular!

My taste in music isn't odd, it's just perfect. In the vein of Brutter, I introduce another Finnish band: Beherit: https://www.youtube....h?v=afaaHXLqUus. A bit more accessible drum line than Brutter, I suppose, but you guys suck at being hipsters so it may suit you more.

Based on a Mafia-like game. With Felicia Day and one of the ladies from Garfunkel and Oates. So good!

we're back online! after 4 months of sorry we're working on it etc....they finally came in and installed the thing in less than an hour. our predicament started when we got kicked out of our pad earlier this year and by virtue of our luck found the only house in this city without some form of fiberoptic-phoneline-cable connection, and our house was the only one that was off the grid in the middle of all other houses! hilarious.

Woohoo 1st night with a low in the 30's this Fall! I'm outside shivering and happy!

You have mentioned this love of cold, ice, and snow before. Are you sure you don't want to move to Canada?

Or if it is just constant cold and miserable weather you want, the North of England would suit you.

So the gf swung right around and now is doing all kinds of research on flats, houses, shopping opportunities etc in Cork. She's becoming rather enthusiastic. I'm a really lucky bastard.

Following on from all my house happiness, we now live just down the road from the site of the Battle of Towton (the Wars of the Roses) - which is one of my favourite periods of history. I'mma going battlefield walking!




Also, Fiddler has yet to live up to his namesake and so far has not found a way to destroy/blow up anything.

This makes me both happy, and makes me laugh uproariously.

Seriously, mocking this guy for attempting to be a "revolutionary" but allowing his words to get lost in a miasma of verbal diarrhea...the most apt thing to do is shout PARKLIFE at him.

Gods, I can't stop laughing. The vines that people have crafted for this are genius!
