Careful. With the amount of bugs and stuff that are constantly attacking BK, he is bound to have fire ant or a million hidden upon his person at any given time...

Indeed. And he's studied and weaponized them. So now he has slick bug firing gauntlets.

"Enemy picnic spotted: switching to wasp ammunition."

Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

Insect Swarm was definitely my favorite Plasmid by far in Bioshock. The bird thing in Infinite was pretty sweet too.

They came with white hands and left with red hands.

finally started my first re-read of the main series, going through it the published order. I forgot just how awesome Gardens of the Moon was and how epic Ganoes Paran is, sticking it to da man even as a child. BOSS!

Tomorrow Mrs Tiste and I are going for a mini-break in Vienna! I am so unbelievably psyched! We are going to have a couple of days wandering through the city and spend a good amount of time with the wonderful Dag!

What's more, one of my all time favourite bands, Disillusion are playing their immense album "Back to Times of Splendor" from start to finish! I can't believe I am actually going to see them live!

Hey have a great time with the lovely Dag - just beware of the poodles and O/D-ing on chocolate. So nice to see her and SM last month in sunny Manchester.

I too have a neat gig - tomorrow night in Union Chapel, Islington Gryphon will be performing the final concert in their first concert tour for over 35 years. They did a one-off reunion in 2009 which was truly joyful and this should be equally awesome. Looking forward to some prog music with crumhorns, bassoon and recorders! There is other more conventional instrumentation too.

So my grandmother decided to go on a pilgrimage to Karbala in the middle of a war. She has returned to safety after 10 days. The sheer stupidity makes me sorta sad but she is safe so meh.

Grandparent can be hard core.

My new JBL studio monitors just arrived, so I can't wait to get them hooked up.

HiddenOne. You son of a bitch. You slimy, skulking, low-posting scumbag. You knew it would come to this. Roundabout, maybe. Tortuous, certainly. But here we are, you and me again. I started the train on you so many many hours ago, and now I'm going to finish it. Die HO. Die. This is for last time, and this is for this game too. This is for all the people who died to your backstabbing, treacherous, "I sure don't know what's going on around here" filthy lying, deceitful ways. You son of a bitch. Whatever happens, this is justice. For me, this is justice. Vote HiddenOne Finally, I am at peace.

Funny/interesting things that happened abroad that made me chuckle.

- Aboard the National Express from Southampton to Heathrow, our driver ended up behind a little car going half the speed he was meant to be driving on the motorway...so he tailgated him and eventually went round him. The guy in the car actually FOLLOWED the bus to Heathrow and got out and started ranting at the driver. It was a little surreal.

- Thieves/pickpockets in Paris (the city is RIFE with them) thinking that the "petition clip board" scam or the "I found this ring is it yours?" scam would work on us...was met repeatedly with me shouting at them or calling them thieves to their faces, at which point they scattered like roaches with the lights coming on.

- Apparently the D-Day beaches in Normandy are a frequent spot for french highschool field trips...and I walked past a gaggle of idiotic teens standing amongst the somber rows white crosses, goofing, taking selfies and giggling. I was momentarily disgusted, but then thankfully their teacher walked up and tore a complete and utter strip off them in front of their peers (my french is patchy, but I got the gist), at which point they shut their stupid mouths and paid a little more respect.

- Had a cold on the day we were in Oslo, so walked into a corner shop and bought what I only ASSUME were throat lozenges...since it was all in Norwegian I can't be sure they weren't just candies. Either way, they only moderately helped my throat.

- In Rotterdam, at the Markthal we tried to order fries to share off a menu and they came with a giant meatball. We laughed for like 5 minutes at our complete and total misunderstanding of the dutch menu. The meatball was actually delicious though.

- Trying to find a couple of bottles of wine to take onto the boat in Southampton was a bit of a chore...because my brain said (since I live in Canada and the LCBO rules ontario), you need a "wine shop"...and when we asked someone they said, you just have to go to a Tesco or Marks & Spencers. I actually facepalmed at my own stupidity.

You should have bought a glass of Akevitt when you were in Oslo. No sickness can live through that!
