I will be there as the (self-proclaimed) Angel Constantijn, the variably competant eidolon.  Won't be arriving until the Friday though.

I'm sure I'll see most of you there, although I do tend to wilfully ignore the rat tribe and stay out of Constance's way.

Quick quiz: what's the difference between the tenants of a church and the tenets of a church?

Just around sunrise on Monday, I looked out of my bedroom window and saw a large fire in the distance.  It looked like a bonfire, but was in Nazeing, nearly two miles away, so it must have been huge.  I looked it up on ]BBC News and it turns out that it had been burning since about three in the morning.  It was actually a massive pile of wood ( Read more... )

I tried to feed my parent's cat this morning, but got stuck.  (I'm staying with my parents over the Christmas holidays, and it's the cat we got when I was about ten, so really it's my cat, but anyway...)  I went to the cupboard where the cat food goes and got out a tin without looking.  Just as I was about to open it I noticed the picture of a dog ( Read more... )

Welcome to 2009.

In the first part of this year I will be concentrating on two things; my final few months at university and finding a half-decent job.

Both of which will involve a lot of work and a not-inconsiderable amount of sheer dumb luck.  They're also likely to be taking up a lot of my time, which is why I'm also giving myself other things to ( Read more... )

I know I have a tendency to blindside people, so I thought I'd put this odd little development out in the open.   Last Saturday (the 31st) was my last exam, and so I'm coming home from uni today (Tuesday 3rd).   On Monday morning, I got a call from my employment agency, asking when I was back from uni and when I'd be availible again.   Hays are the ( Read more... )

   Next month, the fourth edition of Dungeons and Dragons will be released.  The month after that, it will be the fifth edition of Warhammer 40,000.   One of these interests me far more than the other.   Before I go on, I should point out that, if you're one of the rare people I know who doesn't know these games, you're in for a rough ride.   This ( Read more... )
