Malcador Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 The HH books really are a mixed bag. Before The Outcast Dead, my least favourite was probably Prospero Burns (mostly ruined by then last quarter of the story). On the other hand, chatting with store staff, I know my favourites aren't exactly universally popular either (Legion and Flight of the Eisenstein) Thought everyone loves Legion, those crafty AL boys are behind everything (soon we'll find out an AL operative posing as Horus Aximand lowers the shields to let the Big E on the Vengeful Spirit...) They are a mixed bag, to be honest, I liked a suggestion where they have silver and gold covers, the gold ones move the main plot of the Heresy along and the silver ones have the ancillary stuff like Lorgar's fall, or DA origins, etc. Also Fionvar - hardcore.

Walsingham Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Green Dragon everyone - I can only anthropomorphise one thing @ time ~~ I was up in London yesterday. Found a pretty good coffee bar in a church near the Tower of London, if you chaps are ever doing the tourist thing. Called 'Kitchen @ the tower', I think. Not fantastic, but ten times better than the tourist traps nearby. After work (more on this later) I went out drinking with pals and a 'certain' young lady. None of us could work out if she's keen on me or just unfortunately over-enthusiastic body language. But more dates are afoot, so I guess I'll just have to fall in love with her and see what happens.

Krookie Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I've been planning my big summer RV trip. I think we've got it worked out. I'm going to head up to Tillmook, Oregon for a couple days and do the factory tour as well as enjoy their ice cream. Then we will head to Washington and take a Ferry across to Vancouver Island (with the RV, which will be neat.) We will psend a week on the island, a few days in Victoria and a few days further north near Nainamo. We will take another ferry across to Canada, and then start the long drive home, stopping in Salem for a couple days. I'm pretty excited, it looks like about a 16 day trip. I'll start making the reservations in march, but I like to have a plan early. That sounds awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guard Dog Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Very cool sounding trip Hurlie. I've always wanted to get up that way, it's the one part of the country I haven't seen yet. I've spent the last few days sanding and sand blasting the body of the plymoth. Plus I ordered a new top and convertable motor. You can really see the progress now. I'm modifying the front for bucket seats and have decided not to install a back seat at all. Saves a few bucks, cuts the weight a little and opens up room for other things. Not sure what yet.

Tigranes Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Not a good day. Two applications I've put in for workshops/conferences this summer have died. I have about 8-9 various things in the works for the next 6 months and I'm hoping half of them will live, but you never know. Based on my short life the rule seems to be that you'll never get quite as many things as you want.

Tigranes Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 No, I agree. 1 in 10 seems to be the way of the world, often enough. Maybe that just means I need to make more pitches.

Malcador Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 (edited) Going bonkers trying to identify a song I heard in an ad, my sister luckily got a audio recording, but not a very good and long one. But going on that trying to feed this to programs to spot it, damn voice over messing it up too. Audio clip is there. Now I camp the TV waiting for that ad to come back on, ahhh the ways I waste my time. 01_Memo_m4a.wav Edited January 17, 2012 by Malcador Why has elegance found so little following?

Raithe Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 For some reason the last couple of nights something keeps waking me up around 5 or 6am.. so about 3 or 4 hours after I got to sleep in the first place. One of these days I'm going to turn off my alarms, and ignore the family and just see how long I can stay in bed for the day... Did manage to take a lazy monday with minimal work for my birthday, although having to spend a chunk of time dismantling the vacuum cleaner and repairing it didn't quite fall into the original plan. Got about 4 "electronic" happy birthdays, and a bottle of port from my gran. My immidiate family kind of dropped some loose cash on my computer desk and did the "well, I couldn't get a card for you, so here's some cash" "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."

Malcador Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Talking about Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy came up with a rather funny conversation with friends "So he's trying to determine their...moleness" "Moleness? So their...molarity?" "Yes. he's Avogadro hunting moles" "Would be better if it were set in a concentration camp" "Yes, as they're making the final solution" Other than that, customer is at sea today.

Cracking myself up with the fact that my new employer happily sends me to all the legal conferences all expenses paid - when I was at the university, I generally had to do them out of my own pocket, with a net salary of roughly 1/4 of what I get now. Only had one other person (also a lawyer) tell me that getting a degree in jurisprudence doesn't make me a real doctor. Good times. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that?

Hurlshort Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Happy Birthday Raithe. Maybe you should try going to bed earlier? I wake up at 5 or 6 everyday as well, but I'm in bed by 10 PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heh, it's when you run into people you were at first and middle school with, and you see them married, carting 2.5 kids around, and putting shopping into a family wagon... I can never tell whether that makes me feel too damn old, or as if I've never actually gotten around to growing up.... "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."

Shryke Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 sigh friend who cheated on her bf a few weeks ago has now broken up with him don't know if it's because she told him what happened, or if she's still trying to keep things secret either way it was a stupid move on her part and she's ruined a good relationship because of it i'm going to a party on saturday to see someone who's coming back from Canada after being there since March last year, then after that i'm going back into hermit mode can't be bothered with people's dramas, and going to be picking up a lot more weekend shifts to try and get some more money together when your mind works against you - fight back with substance abuse!
