Yummy cookies at rehearsals, chicken schnitzel for dinner and my play is next week. Looking good.

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.

The new series/mini-series thingy 'Sherlock' that just premiered on TV One. I'm pretty sure it's not going to last very long, but it was very well done, and just makes Steven Moffat more god-tier as a writer, imo. Good acting for the parts, too, mind.

I've said it before, it's an excellent reworking of Sherlock Holmes and all the more impressive in that they managed to set it in modern london and yet keep the "feel" of Holmes.

As for it not lasting long. They have initially filmed 3 episodes (and they're really good) but had to stop it then because most of Moffat's crew are involved with DOCTOR WHO, which is a flagship programme for the BBC.

They have plans to make another 3 when the current series of Doctor Who finishes filming. So, good times.

On a similar note, I just watched a couple of episodes of Season 5 of LEWIS (The Inspector Morse spinoff). I love the feel of that show.

It would seem that something broke inside me on Friday... turns out a side effect of broken hope is that it would seem like my fear of heights has been significantly dampened. Today I've opened the 'balcony' door (there's no balcony behind the door, just a railing) wide for the first time since August, and I feel comfortable with it (10th storey).
Well, there's some good in everything.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Thats fantastic, congratulations!

Another li'l second-gen Malazan.

I'm happy because my friend, who wanted to do a cover of Counting Crow's Mr Jones has signed me up as the vocalist. Seeing as I have no other musical talent (instrumentally, that is), this is terrific. :Brood:

Big props Nando!

Jesus Christ that is a fantastic Borderlands gun.

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.

That is sweet. I killed the Crawmerax with some buddies over and over again hoping it would vomit out a gun like but had no luck. Nice work!

Beserker is the best way to play Borderlands. Taking damage and in trouble? Hulk Smash your way out of it and heal at the same time.

I did the three DLCs, but never took on Crawmerax. I was about to do it myself, as I don't want an Xbox Live account, but life pulled me away from the game.

I survived the Permian and all I got was this t-shirt.

The gorgeous redhead with lip piercing that kept staring at me on the platform while waiting for our train was a more than welcome start to my morning... Hadn't seen her for a while.
