I still function

(Points for recognising the quote)

Life update post a bit later, but first, some food for thought...

How do you know something is real?

What's up, doc?

Okay, over the last week or so, I've actually done stuff, so here is a report on "stuff"...

Last Thursday: Went to Exeter. Found the Circus 2.0. Found mapp's copies of Transmetropolitan again. Watched Advent Children again. Also finally encountered freddiefraggles
In the evening, I went to the Cavern to see dudeulike's band, and hang out for a bit afterwards. Band was good, Cavern sucked. And stank.

Last Friday: Met up with JP, Cat and Joker for brunch at the Real McCoy's. Because Harley's has shut. Dammit. Didn't meet up with kittenfangs because something came up. Dammit.

Bonus in the form of seeing someone unexpected across the street- smiles and waves were exchanged. Went to see davidnm for dinner- he cooked lasagna, it was good. Listened to Nightwish, Mitch Benn and Hammerfall. This was also good. Discussed life, the universe, and how people suck. This, too, was good.

In the evening, went to the Hole in the Wall to meet n0wheregirl. This was very good- had many talks about things- and friendly arguments. The most fun I've had in quite some time, it has to be said. Cheers!

Last Saturday: In the morning, seth_ra came over, and brought his baby with him. The baby took one look at me and cried. I feel curiously vindicated by this.
In the afternoon was Changeling, which was quite fun- personal highlights include:

• A jousting tournament on jet bikes. I cheated and poisoned my lance for the first bout. I mean, I could have probably won without it, but, hey, evil?


• Winning the jousting fair and square (I mean, except for that first round, and hey, I'd been paid to thoroughly beat that particular opponent)


• Beginning the corruption of the Baroness, who is likely to be hiring me next time I'm there. Mwahaha.


• Giant Flying Cow 0- Sluagh with runicly-enhanced, poisoned homing rounds for his crossbow 1

Headed back on the train with portilis and bouncyinsomniac, then was eventually joined by matgb and faeriecween who were crashing over.

Sunday: Headed off to Mage. Lovely curveball thrown at me by thessalian which should be interesting. Generally fun session (Especially "Squad, defect! Quick march...."). Write up over at kuo_li eventually.

In the evening, matgb had had to go to get back for work the next day, so alchohol and drunken babbling with faeriecween ensued. Was fun.

Monday: Watched Advent Children (V. Good), and Dracula: Dead and Loving It (V.Silly), with faeriecween. She made scrambled eggs on toast, which was nice. And lent me Thud to read, which was nicer :-).

Tuesday: Met up with new friend, Jinx, in London for random fruit juice, chatting and walks. Was fun.
