I just got a spam with the subject line "For his Hat was a hundred and two feet wide". I... yep, it's definitely Monday.

( Random update. Cut for length (work, weekend, and general stuff). )

And (lj)lonescorpion just left me an email with hints on how to do the fourth mission in DoW, so I think that's my evening sorted, then!

So. How/what/who is everyone else doing today? ^_^

Laters,

For special entertainment of my darling (lj)yvesilena and also because I think it was doing me good. Since I've missed a couple of weeks these aren't all from today, but here are six things that have made me happy today or at least recently:

1) W40K! I've been reading a bunch of Black Library stuff and found a couple of fantastic Chaos stories; it's soooo nice to see various members of the Traitor Legions being written as real characters rather than just one-dimensional bad guys. The bloodshed, the camaraderie, the exhilaration, the altered but definitely still real codes of honour and brotherhood - and, yes, the pain of being caught between worlds and between oaths for all time, and having to handle it by any means that lets you (figuratively) sleep at night. This is the stuff I want to read, and wish people had started writing a lot earlier. Not just a bunch of grinning arseholes with axes any more - these are Chaos Champions. *nods* ♥

2) Discovering just now that actor/wrestler Kevin Nash, of whom I'm something of a fan, is apparently going to be let out of hospital tomorrow and should basically be okay! Given that two days ago the reports were that he might have anything up to MRSA (*shudders*), I am SO relieved to hear this. Fingers crossed that nothing else goes wrong for him! *sends fanhugs*

3) Getting the next session done on my epic Ghost Rider tattoo! For the record, it looks amazing. And my brain is apparently permanently rewired, at this point, to accept a certain type of "pain" as being An Okay Thing, because I no longer seem to feel any animal urge to pull away from the needle at all. Also, the afterburn (for those who aren't inked, it feels kinda like a graze or a bad sunburn) seems to now register as an actively pleasurable sensation, which is fantastic because it means that the outer curve of my left arm, from shoulder to elbow, is now one solid wall of ohhellyeah whenever it gets knocked or I stretch too far. Niiiiice. ^_^

4) I have my ticket for Lordi in February! Nuff said. ^____^

5) Finding a very, very cool photo of one of my favourite wrestlers showing off his car. Behold, Edge in a black '69 Camaro! (Man, if I hadn't fancied him already... *g*)

6) Getting my "we sent you money" slip from GW, meaning that I can afford to live and fight another day AND go to see my mum and dad next weekend! This gives me much joy as I do miss them, and home, really a lot.

So yeah. Not everything is perfect at the moment, but I'd rather post about the stuff that is than the stuff that isn't. I know which I'd rather read back over six months from now, anyway. ^_^

How is everyone else?

Laters,
Rath

PS, Oh, and one more cool thing that didn't fit in the list: Scan from somewhere in Marvel Secret Invasion. There's having God on your side... and then there's being the Avengers. *loves this page*
