So I'm back from sunny Belper (somewhere between Derby and Nottingham) and apart from it being bloody freezing it was damn good fun (as expected).
Pretended to be a Roman Legionnaire (Neverwhere), a Narn special forces agent (B5), a WWII superhero soldier (Godlike) and Winona Ryder (don't ask). Plus played tons of Burnout 3 on the Xbox and discovered a new dice game called Perudo....

Well I'm outta here shortly for the deepest, darkest, midlands. Apparently we have at least 40% chance of snow this weekend, so we could well be trapped in out little cottage by a blizzard or summat. If only we had invited Eric Roberts so we could have eaten him in an emergency. Well, there will be games, and booze, which should be fun. As long...

Hope the gaming went well. I threw some spectacular dice myself this weekend, though certainly not at the sort of volumes I suspect your were seeing.
Well Valentines has been and gone, and it wasn't really that painful. I got a mystery card (posted by my mum I suspect as usual) but otherwise managed to pass through the day without any other romantic reference (except for people mentioning it on board such as these).

My lord, that's spectacularly gamey. The high water mark of my gaming life was shortly after college. I was running two weekly games, and freelancing for white wolf. Ah, those were the days. Now, I have to schedule ahead to be able to make my one monthly game. Envy envy envy.

Yer been good today and eating healthy n stuff.... but still got lurgy...lol WHO gave me it!!! Bastards...lol
And so another weekend looms. Thank christ it's Friday. Should be a fairly low-key weekend what with me being so skint and occupied with DIY activities. 
Plus writing up what I have planned for my trip away next weekend. 20 guys and gals, lots and games, and lots of booze. Should be a great laugh as always, and just what I need to reinvigorate myself...

Being single is really not that bad.
If I wasn't with my gf I would be very cautious about getting involved with anyone. In fact I was, as Mr T would put it, 'hella cautious' about becoming involved with her.
Having affection on tap is nice but having the freedom of a single dude is, at least in my book, slightly nicer.
Have a splendid one!

I don't think it was theme or composition, or the set would have been rejected earlier in the process than it was. I made it down to the last step, which means that it had to have been a problem they couldn't correct in Photoshop, but believed they might have been able to at the outset of the process. That leads me to believe the culprit was probably shoddy image quality.
I could be wrong, and I did email Missy in hopes of finding out for sure, but that's my guess.

Well I'm glad to say my last-minute-Ebay ticket for Rammstein was worth evey damn penny. Bloodflowers has already mentioned how great the gig was in his journal. Flames, claws, cauldrons, fireworks, and other pyrotechnics. I'm sure a lot of it wasn't safe, and I'm betting the people down the front left minus their eyebrows. Nutters.

update yer journal!
So does anyone have any advice when it comes to buying lightsabers? Looks like getting a decent one is going to cost me an arm and a leg. I'm keeping an eye on ebay but not getting my hopes up. And I'll be damned if I'm going to Starfury: Serenity without a decent Jedi costume!
Oh and BTW on a related note, guess who's landed...

Thanks to those of you who managed to spare me a little sympathy. It's a strange irony that on the one hand he was so small, and yet on the other he was such a big part of my life. I still have moggies (and my lame-o housemate) to keep me company so life goes on...

nice meeting you

i guess the one i am am talking about is the third of the trilogy. its awsome you should check it out.
This he time didn't make it. Old age finally got the better of him I guess. I don't know what bothers me more, that I'll never know whether the quality of life I gave him was enough, or that I have no one really who I can share my grief with now he's passed.

it sucks losing a pet. Sorry to hear it.Well courtesy of Ebay and a trip to Aylesbury I'm now the proud owner of a Marshall Valvestate amp for less than half the price it would have been in the store, hurrah! Nice and loud but it doesn't make crunchy enough noises will have to remedy that ASAP *sigh*

It's a bitch having to watch someone you care about waste away. I've had to "intervene" with a couple friends in the past. One took my advice and turned his life around. The other chose to continue his downward spiral. I think all you can do is say your peace. The rest is up to them.
Hope the little guy gets to feeling better.

Well it's Monday, update time again!
Wasn't sure whether to admit it, but last week I actually went speed dating! Lots of people were telling me to do it, and when a friend asked me to go (he didn't want to go on his own) I thought I'd try it for a laugh. At least to see if it was s*** or not, proof in...

I'm not the best teacher in the world, but if you want I'd be more than happy to show you a few riffs/techniques.
For books/vids on tuition I don't really know where to start, is there anything in particular you want to learn or is it just a general knowledge of the instrument?
I've got a large collection of guitar mags (total guitar, guitarist, guitar techniques, guitar world) so if you want to borrow a few your more than welcome.

Not much to report from the weekend really except I failed miserably to do most of things I was supposed to do and sat around like a vegatable 
I did go and see House of Flying Daggers though, which was ace. Like Hero it was superbly and gracefully shot and had it's fair share of tragedy...

I post relatively sporadically. I just thought you might enjoy my synicism and true love of guitar tone. I'm a guru by no-ones standards. If you read my posts in the guitar group You may find I have a bit to share.
Cheers!

He he thanks for that..... poofy english people who cant communicate.... grrrrr lol xxx Poor hamster., i know what you mean bout hard tho had a rat with an eye infection! STOP squerming damn it! Also I think I just invented a word... ho hum x
My poor ickle hamster has an eye infection. Nothing too serious and already on the mend, but I'm consigned to wrestle with him three times a day to give him eyedrops (and it's not easy I tell you). As an aside I'm dead impressed he's managed to do so well for so long but now I'm worried it might be a sign of things to...
