Geek update. Leonid shower peaks tonight though you prob won't see but the very brightest due to the waning super moons light. This is a storm that has been known to make Earth look like it's traveling through warp speed and make people dizzy but I doubt we ll get that treat tonight. Anything is possible though.

Cheers for that BK. Had forgotten.

Couldn't get out from work early enough the other day to try and get a shot of the Supermoon low on the horizon. But, I did get a decent shot on my camera later that night since it was so bright.

Seeing Porter Robinson & Madeon in NYC tomorrow evening with a hot date!

2 AM. Back from a Uki rock concert + an after party with the best Uki DJ in T.O.

So what if tomorrow's a workday? that'll be tomorrow int eh groove thread.

Tonight, I feel happy and re-energized

Going to have a shower and then put on new pajamas before enjoying one of the greatest feelings in the word - new sheets (and quilt cover, pillow cases, woven blanket throw thing idk). 😍

OK this just made me laugh out loud. A couple of the jokes won't translate, but most will.

Have You Been paying Attention is a quiz/comedy show where a panel of a few regulars and occasional guests (mostly comedians) answer questions based on recent news. I always manage to get at the very least a few good laughs out of every episode.

HYBPA is literally the only non-ABC free tv show that I watch. It's brilliant. 😃

BOYS FOR PELE Deluxe Remaster is out today!

New Tori (well, remastered old Tori) is always call for celebration.

And next week is Kate Bush Live!

It's like my cup runeth over with my favourite artists from when I was a teenager week.

[Vengeance]

I watched most of the first episode of THE GRAND TOUR on my way to work. Oh how I missed the boys.

Cold front just rolled over! Yes! 30's tomorrow night! Lots of snot in my future outside by my fire.

A strangely graphic description of approaching winter

Also I hate November. I think I might start bleeding if I sneeze anymore

It's in the 30s here too. Celsius! Man I love summer.

Tolkien, the illustrated encyclopedia arrived today.
it was 1p (with £2.80 postage) on amazon used. It makes me happy because it's arrived and just flicking through it is bringing back so many memories of LotR and the silmarion.
but its slightly disappointing. the illustrations are wildly varying in quality and a lot are in the blocky modern style that I dislike. I was hoping for more beautiful pictures like my copy of LotR has.
oh well, still an excellent arrival.

now all i need is my new tablet to arrive, tracking says it left manchester at midnight, but won't be here till wednesday?
which means I won't see it till friday.

[Mentalist]

caught up on sleep after 3 exhausting evenings with not enough rest.

And no work I had to take home this weekend. I am looking forward to a lot of blissful laziness.

Puggles!

Me and Arrow the kite - my favourite, beautiful boy! What the picture doesn't convey is his never-ending fascination with pulling both the zip on my fleece and my scarf. He chitters away like an angry teenager if you move him out of reach as well

I feel like he's looking at your eyes with an awfully hungry expression.

That thing could probably kill me in five seconds. Beautiful bird though.


That curved beak...

I am incredibly happy because in the space of only fifteen months, we have added another 1000 !!!!!! pages to the Wiki. Not only that, but the German version, thanks to the incredible efforts of Coltaine, has simultaneously reached page number 1000 !!!!!

For all the statistics check out:

Malazan Wiki 4000

German Wiki 1000

It would be great if you took a look and signed the guest book/Gästebuch

Hope you agree that we have come a long way

Well, you say that - I mean, he'd make a mess for sure, and if he hit something vital then yes you could bleed to death - but of any of the birds in the centre I'd much rather he bit me than any of the others - kites are scavengers and the biggest part of their diet is made up of carrion. The beak looks evil but isn't actually all that powerful - they can't break into bigger carcasses (deer, sheep etc) by themselves and only feed of those if something like a fox has already broken into the carcass. Live prey they're limited to really small mammals (rodents, mostly) and things like beetles. So, as our birds go, Arrow's a softy

Egwene - that's awesome news, well done to you all!

That massive eagle was more likely to rip a person to shreds... He was eyeing my jugular up in a fairly disconcerting fashion...

Good work Egwene and Coltaine!
