Karnivool just announced another Australian tour!

Antiquis temporibus, nati tibi similes in rupibus ventosissimis exponebantur ad necem.

Si hoc adfixum in obice legere potes, et liberaliter educatus et nimis propinquus ades.

I'm genuinely happy for Tremolo at the moment. I did a little squeal of delight and everything when I read his Facebook update

Congrats, man!

Spent £40k on shiny new lab equipment so far this week! Got another £60k to go and I get to pick everything

Was any of that equipment a high powered laser? If not it should have been, even if you can't use it for anything, you should have one. Lasers are cool.

Already got a laser

We use it for cutting stuff!

He's engaged

In any case, perhaps not the best news I could hope for, but at least communication channels with gf are open again. I think she may just have upload limits on her internets, by available data.

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.

He's engaged and expecting a baby.

Yes, he is in fact pregnant.

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.

Took me a metric fuck-ton of trial and error, but I was finally able to replicate the photo

I'm putting it in a frame and giving it to my friend, hope she loves it.

MIDNIGHT LAUNCH!

It seems that all my pleading and complaining paid off! (I'm sure the manager and staff had something to do with it too, but that's not as important.)

That means I'll get ME3 at midnight, have it in my Xbox by 12:30am and can play straight through until I have to catch my bus to go to my study group at 8:30am

Hehe, good for you.

I'll probably start playing ME3 when your asleep (or pulling an all nighter because you can't stop playing).

Man, I love my Normandy model and the Jim Raynor statue, well I had my doubts at first, but it's bad ass (see shopping thread and no, it's not my hand nor arm

)

Well, a crazy last couple of days. Turns out that my timetable for orientation week was merely the Law or Arts/Law component, and not purely Arts...yeah, weird. So that explains the conspicuous absence of like-minded fellows. Thankfully, however, a chance encounter with an old friend allowed me to meet more people, all of them drama kids, and now we've formed a tight knit group

Plus one of them is basically Weird Al Yankovic in looks and manner so we r havin l0ts of funz. So on Wednesday was a bar night (rather cool) and Thursday was a party at a club (even cooler, as I met a group of Firefly fans). Friday I dropped in to visit my old drama class-there are so many new kids there, I feel like an old dog deposed by a group of young pups

But it was good nonetheless. AND TODAY I meandered through the rainy Brunswick streets with my friend as we looked in vintage shops and art galleries for all kinds of stuff, tried a Cajun burger and LOVED IT, and I was also able to finally give her my crowning present of awesome: a customised photo frame that says 'Best Friends", complete with heartwarming photo. She was so pleased with it.

And then I headed back home to my sister's birthday which had copious amounts of cakes and creams. Tomorrow, the last day before uni, I'm heading down to my local shops to chill with a mate.

Dead tired all throughout today, but it was worth it

Suck it Errant!

Just got back from watching my football club's B-team win the cup final for their division (a pretty comfortable 2-0 win). A massive achievement for our club, and particularly great for all the lads who got to play a cup final under floodlights, on a League of Ireland ground.
