...so as I was saying, tempus fugit much?

When drinking in Russia, check for foreign objects.  That's hella vodka.  No, seriously.  Have started reading Night Watch by Sergei Lubyanenko (and it's already better than the movie which is saying something) so expect a shift in attitude among certain NPCs in SINergy.  Especially if they're toting certain ( Read more... )
