It has been proven beyond all reasonable doubt that the most powerful force on Wu is a bunch of messed-up Malazans with Moranth munitions.

4 nights of about 4 hours sleep each + one overnight flight home = tired Mezla. Slept so long and so deep last night that I didn't move once. I woke after 11hrs thinking I'd had a stroke because I couldn't move or speak!! Spent the day monging about at home and had a couple of naps. Now I get to sit on my ass while a belated Valentine's dinner is cooked. Excellent :Brood:

Waiter, more wine!

Had a damn good night. Plenty of drunkards and stoners, but had some quality time with the people that mattered, and met some new folks too. Let the good times roll. :Brood:

I have had the most fantastic weekend with an old school friend up from Sydney. Lacking sleep, slightly drunk still and my mind has been broken many many times by my horribly dirty friends (though not as much as Sparrowhawk... i don't think there is any shred of innocence left in him).

Holy shit, I thought it took forever for mine to show up but on the other hand, you suck for having a 3-day weekend. Not looking forward to work tomorrow.

IT IS MINE

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.

Last week I read the fifth comment on Chapters 18 and 19 of the Tor reread, where Amanda Rutter was spreading the word about a competition she'd set up on her personal blog where people who emailed in could win copies of all ten novels of the Malazan Book of the Fallen, with the tenth signed by Steven Erikson. And I entered. I was going to buy The Crippled God in any case, but on the odd chance I was lucky I could either replace the tattered books I'd read to pieces and lent out to friends (including the two that got left by an open window during a storm by what used to be a friend but is now part of my back garden's ecosystem) or give the entire lot to my older brother, who's a fan but simply can't afford the entire series as and when it comes out. Or to other friends. In any case, I'd just wait and see.

Then, I bought myself TCG today, started it at 4pm or so, finished it about an hour ago, and after recovering from being overwhelmed I decided that I'd neglected the internet long enough, and I checked my emails.

I've won. I've got brand new copies of all ten Malazan books. (well, brand new copies of the first nine and a once-read copy of the last, cause that signed copy is MINE)

I am hereby declaring the 21st of March Second Christmas.

I'm happy now, because I got 80 pages into the CG last night, and even though I'm at work, I now have a lot of stuff to think on! Can't wait to get home for some more.

So that's the story. And what was the real lesson? Don't leave things in the fridge.

Went on to Amazon this morning to find out where the hell my copy of TCG was. My lovely wife had pre-ordered it for me ages ago as a christmas present. The conversation went something like this...,

Me " There's no record of any pre -order or anything resembling an order..... WTF ! "
Mrs Masan " There should be, I definitely remember doing it. "
Me " Are you sure ? "
Mrs Masan " Yes. "
Me (after deconstructing the entire webpage/site) " Are you sure ? "
Mrs Masan " .....I think so. "
Me " That's not very reassuring."
Mrs Masan " I ordered you the 2 books you asked for ! "
Me " 2 books......, I asked for 3 (blood pressure rising) books, you said you were going to get 3 ! I had the other 2 before christmas, this was the only one I gave a shit about ! You did'nt get it did you ? "
Mrs Masan "....ermmmm.."
Me " WOMAN !?! "
Mrs Masan " No."
Me " YOU ABSOLUTE TURBO SPAZ ! (etc etc) "

Why is this in the happy thread I hear you ask ?

2 reasons really, for one I was'nt that bothered as I just took a leisurely drive to the nearest Waterstones and plucked a nice shiny copy of the TCG off the enormous pile in the foyer. Two, I milked my disappointment to the max and the missus is feeling bad about it, resulting in a rather epic fillet steak/ bottled lager based dinner this evening.

I should feel some sort of guilt/ shame, I don't.

Am I a bad person ?

Now all the friends that you knew in school they used to be so cool, now they just bore you.
