Slept in really late for the first time in months

[Ain't_It_Just_]

Talked over all the bullshit piling up with my parents, of all people. Felt good, because sometimes I feel like I'm the only sane person in a room full of idiots. A weight has eased, somewhat.

You mean your not taking advice solely from strangers on the internet? Oh AIJ you beautifully blazered betrayer of the board (hard to say)

Happy- Went into work for 9. Not in work today in tomorrow and also completely my fault. However while in town very early I got a load of shit done, dodged all the queues (ive also just discovered I couldnt spell queues) and also purchased Skyrim. I have the rest of the day off and will be going downstairs in a moment to make myself a pile of sandwiches and chocolate (joining gym after new year like a fat housewife lying to herself ) and then playing Skyrim for a 'few' (read 12) hours.

MERRY SKYRIM AND A SKYRIM NEW YEAR!!!

OH GOD BREAKFAST IS DELICIOUS

Strangers are the best recommendations.
Skyrim is the all-consuming-plague. (God bless it.)

Once you start playing SKYRIM it's hard to imagine life without it really.

The other day Mrs. QT says to me "We have to go to my parent's place now, let's go" to which I replied. "What is this "parent's place" you speak of, is it in Tamriel? Can I fast travel there? Will there be ore to mine?"

Her response was a withering look, but you get the picture.

I AM TEH DRAGONBORN!

[Mentalist]

Finally submitted that claim.
now, all i've gotta do is finish that paper by tomorrow and my holiday checklist shall be complete.

[Loki]

68 DAYS TO GO!!!

[Mentalist]

nearly done writing.
now, just need to insert relevant references and give it one final edit...

[Gust Hubb]

Happy to be home, even if it is in Chicago, damn this fucking city.

[Mentalist]

Done the paper. with 7 hours to spare.

[Raymond Luxury Yacht]

I just had my first contact with Malazan folk, via video chat. Fun times.

[Adjutant Stormy~]

Damn, missed the wholw thing.

Making me happy is all the attention my friend Margot got tonight. She was born missing the fingers on her left hand and STILL knocked people's socks off tonight. She was looking fiiiiiiiine.

[tiam]

I woke up this morning with only some of the potential shame from a night out. Could have been better (fell down the stairs) could have been worse (im a horrible person) but still not a bad night and I left early aswell.

Aw. You're a good person.


I'm happy right now because I have a girlfriend and things are great between us. Also, for some inexplicable reason, all of my closest friends from school have been acting so nostalgic and happy about the times we all had. Makes me realise I grateful I should always be of the kind of people I have in my life. (Malazites included! ).

At some point last night in my alcohol and marijuana induced stupor, I managed to take the back off my computer and clean the dust out. It's now working a thousand times better than before.

I approve of inebriated JLV.

Well, more like a couple of days ago, but I met Anastasia.

Anastasia is (now bear with me here) the daughter of... nah, I'll have to put another person here, let's call her X, and X is the former (perhaps current again) girlfriend of a friend of mine. Her grandmother's husband has a daughter with... well, someone else, but Anastasia is his daughter. So basically she's the aunt of my buddy's girlfriend. She's also my age. She's also Ukrainian. And doesn't speak polish, and her english is very, very limited, so communication between us is a pretty amusing mix of polish, ukrainian, russian, english and gestures. Fun fun fun. It doesn't help that she's an absolute beauty as it's distracting.

We also fell quite passionately in love in those two days before she had to leave.

Now, I could and should put that last bit in the groove messing thread, but I'll have another shot to meet her in Prague on her way back home, next weekend. A friend of mine, one of the smarter guys I know, says by his measure she doesn't want to stay in the Ukraine, so in the long term this might just be a very important break in my life, if we can pull off the so-called "meantime". Hood knows I damn near had a heart attack when we said our goodbyes, and yesterday, the whole day my blood pressure was something you'd expect more of someone under heavy artillery fire, but now I'm looking forward to meeting the future.
Now, we'll see how it goes. A buddy from work spent quite some time in Brno, I suspect he knows quite a bit about Prague too, where to go, where to stay, and so on. If you have any tips on that, I'd be grateful

Aight, time to start learning those gorram cyryllic languages!

[worry]

You know what they say, Ukrainian is the language of love.

Don't go to Prague 6, it is Russian Mob country (not that there is really anything out there). If you're looking for a short museum visit, then take her to the Mucha Museum. It is very awesome Jugendstil and you'll be done in 45-75 minutes. Just outside of Prague 1 (the city centre) is a massive soviet monument (a red needle). Around is a beautiful park which offers an amazing view.

For a good plate of food, you might want to check the Wing's Club Prague. It's an aviation themed restaurant that's just out of the centre (doable by foot but I'd advise the subway). The food is good and honest and the wine is more than decent, the price is... well, for western standards, cheap - slightly more expensive than the average beer cafetaria but much better quality.
If you wish to stick to Old Town, head to Klub Architectu on Bethlehem Square. It is fairly well hidden, and atmospheric, maybe a bit more expensive. I had dinner there twice last year (about three months apart) and both times I was quite happy. It isn't gourmet standard, but hey.
The reviews I've seen while searching for the location are less than glorious though, which puzzles me. Also, they charge heavily for water. So have beer instead

Avoid the typical touristy venues/ restaurants (especially on the main square) - they're not bad, but they're not amazing either and waiters may be a tiny bit pushy. There was also a fairly good jazz cafetaria (Ungelt Jazz & Blues Club) if that is your cup of tea, although the Grand Café Praha also has a lot of it.

Your main task will be to dodge the hordes of drunk english idiots on stag nights/ beer tours (and anywhere these beer tours go to). It is not that they are unpleasant per sé, but if your girl is a head turner, you (or rather, she) might get comments, shouting and jeering - you know what drunk blokes in a group are like.

Also, only go to the palace if you are up for a serious walk and your girl is not on heels of any kind. That hill is steep!

[Illuyankas]

I threw up a thread where I will be eventually summarising Reaper's Gale (chosen by popular demand), the prologue of which is done now and the rest following in a totally original and not terrible chapter by chapter format, where I might spice it up by doing two chapters at once occasionally but just one today, due to horrible feelings of feeling horrible. Fun times.
