Had a really great Saturday night with the gf. Not a drop of booze neither.

I fought off the urge to drink myself into a stupor of self-pity. Instead i made phonecalls, pulled strings, called in favour and generally traded on all the goodwill i'd amassed. And the result is...

Everythings back on track, i've got my funding, re-secure my uni place, still have a roof over my head and quite likely will have gainfull employment too. Yeay for Karma!!

And thanks to everyones sugestions/offers of murder and GBH... that made me happy.

Did the paintballing segment of my friend's stag do successfully. Free-for-alls are banned thanks to Youtube, but that just means I managed to save some cash for drinking tonight. We were considering a stripclub, but after all the welts we sort of look like bubonic plague sufferers.

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.

What's making me happy right now? A new baby girl:

Kaylee Grace, born yesterday morning at 10:35am weighing 8 lbs 12 oz and measuring 20.5" in length. Some pics. That's me in the fourth photo:

"Here is light. You will say that it is not a living entity, but you miss the point that it is more, not less. Without occupying space, it fills the universe. It nourishes everything, yet itself feeds upon destruction. We claim to control it, but does it not perhaps cultivate us as a source of food? May it not be that all wood grows so that it can be set ablaze, and that men and women are born to kindle fires?"

Booooo! We feed on bad news here, not the good stuff! Get thee some misery to share with us.

Good work with the bow, Salt-Man! New babies are a really weird colour.

Great news! Teach her to read Malaz in a few days time.

I'm happy because it's my football final today...and I'm feeling confident.

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.

Congrats SMZ! I like how in the first pic, the way she has her hand it makes her fingers look like Zoidburg tentacles. Sweet.

You..... complete me.

Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....

Taking a devout Catholic to a stripclub and buying him a dance because the guy who is actually getting married passed out about 10pm and we thought, "Hey, why waste these free tickets?"
