Its a giant water beetle. Though I have yet to actually see one in the water.

This is just wrong. I come home all battered at the end of the day and the Empire ambushes me with giant bugs

I like the cold. Kills or puts bugs to sleep.

Yea I hate those. Funny enough somehow they LOVE car lots. Go look in the beds of trucks and you ll see 10-100 in each bed.

When did the American South become like Australia with copious amount of scary-as-fuck bugs and creepy crawlies?

10-100 of these in one place? What the hell? Is this some sort of dark demon summoned nightmare?

10-100 in each truck bed yes. Think about the 100's of trucks each lot has. It's not uncommon to crunch those guys as you walk along not paying attention to. You got to step on front of them to really pop em. They are tanks.

Man I thought I did good getting this nice 49in Smart tv last yr. the old man just called me saying he was getting a 60in Smart. Should I be sneaky and talk him into taking the 49 and giving me the 60? Yes. Yes I think I should.

I'd take coffee with you, just in case the show at the Albert spills over and they demand it of all hu-maaans.

There is this fan made genre of music called Nightcore. I have no idea why it is so good.

in the UK people refer to that as 'Happy Hardcore'. Which just makes me think of Converge and Hatebreed cuddling each other.

Yup, there are songs I'd never listen to normally that are just awesome when Nightcore'd. It's amazing what a bit of playing with speed/pitch can do...

got a beautiful little staffie from the dogs home last Thursday (I wanted to rescue them all but alas, space permitting etc). Shes absolutely adorable, 2 years old, soft a brush, doesn't bark, barely cries, and just wants to be with you, generally around you, and sitting with you, and shes happy, wagging her little tail like a good un. Can't believe nobody else even took her out for a look see for around 2 months whilst she was there! Wanted a dog for 27 years, now I do, and I don't know how I coped with such a dog-less existence prior to Thursday. Posted Image

And on the same day, my lettered HoC arrived!!!!! Posted Image

Making me happy is seeing this..

Posted Image

..become this.. (spoilered for size and also sorry for the crappy pic quality, only got my mobile phone to take pics)

Spoiler

I may not be entirely happy with some details, but I have to admit, the printed copies look quite sweet. Also, I'm going to allow myself a pat on the back after spending a whole freaking year on this. Final presentation at uni tomorrow, but unless something goes horribly, horribly wrong, I'll be done with uni by the end of the week

I'm REALLY happy with the printing quality, especially because I had to look for a new printing company on short notice. The paper is just sweet. And they're proper hardcovers, not just some flappy piece of paper pretending to be hardcovers.
