So I heard there was a tornado in Auckland - everyone okay?

I'm fine! KL posted not very long before you, so I'm assuming no problem there.

Only one death, thankfully (rumours of a second death abound, but it's unconfirmed). It was a pretty epic tornado for us, though. Nothing spectacular on the international scale, but pretty large and devastating as far as NZ is concerned. Hopefully it's the last one we get for a good long time.

Does tornado strike location correlate highly with density of trailer-parks in NZ like it does in the US?

Trailer parks? In NZ? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.

But seriously, we don't get enough of them to have that kind of data. Bearing in mind this country has a population density better than most American states, half of them probably aren't even noticed by most folk. And the ones that are, are small. Apparently we've only had four F2-class tornadoes in the past century.

So, no. And this one was straight through a shopping mall (where most of the damage was done). Populated area, for us. But not trailer-park style, no.

I'm fine, thanks for caring

you make me feel all warm and fuzzy.

I can safely say however, that my planned shopping trip for tomorrow is now cancelled. Which is a bit of a bummer, but not half as much of a bummer as being dead. Hopefully no one that I know, and it's probably safe to say I'd have been informed by now if it was.

Watching the footage is disconcerting though. Not used to seeing places I'm very familiar with + tornadoes. One of my friends works in Albany and some of the footage they captured was on the news.

The Metal Archives don't have such bands as Sikth and Periphery. I know this isn't a massive deal what with all the other things going on in the world, but I dislike the snobbery of that website...

Also, I think Steven Erikson has made me impotent....he's at least seriously messed with my desire/ability to read. It's been weeks since TCG, and I haven't been able to get it up (my dsire to read, that is

Dear Gothos,

Shiara, gracious as she is, photocopied my gameinformer ME3 article for you.......however, the first time she did it the scale was off so she did it a second time and it worked....unfortunately only the bad scan of the first page emailed through correctly. She is going to try again tomorrow. I'm sure she will succeed this time!

Here is the bad scan - at least it will give you something to drool over

The lack of caffiene and sugar is starting to give me headaches. I hope I get through this stage quickly.

I drank yours for you and now I have a headache from too much sugar and caffeine.

In other news, I have very nearly finished with Troilus and Criseyde for the rest of my life. What's messing with my groove is that I can't think of a conclusion, other than 'Troilus is a whiny little bitch, The End.' aaaand I have another essay to finish for Friday.

Well thanks for that, I imagine you're running up the walls by now.

Unless the essay is due in like tomorrow, can you not leave it for a day or two and come back with fresh eyes?

As promised in the making you happy thread, I am now in so much pain from what was possibly the most mental gig I have ever been to. Utterly brilliant, yes, but total insanity in the mosh pit... Skindred get better every time I see them live. Just hope I can walk tomorrow...

Can't sleep. Bah

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.
