I am your leader, I am in command

Something momentous happened. I was playing Bamboozle at 3am, and the pages updated to the next day's quiz while I was on the first question.

...Well, I was impressed, anyway.

My parents have left for Germany, so I'm the king of town (or at least my house) now. I made a good start by leaving my siblings alone from 7 till 12 when I went round to Philip's to celebrate his last day of work. We watched "Phone Booth"... it was surprisingly gripping for a film which has a less diverse set than "Cube" does.

They come from a land! ...FA-A-AR beyond!

Just been going through some sample mp3s from Gamma Ray... I think "Powerplant" is going to be my next purchase (and for anyone who thinks I'm an idiot for buying music rather than downloading it, get stuffed.) I do believe that "Strangers in the Night" has one of the best intros that I've ever heard.

And it has a track called "Gardens of the Sinner" - what more do you want?

The Entry With No Name

I just came back from a 57-minute bike ride with Philip, and I'm knackered. Staying up till 4am the night (morning?) before didn't really help, I suppose, and the round trip past the Stone Circle is virtually all uphill (how it manages it I'll never know). Managed to get a bit of grit in my eye along the way... it's not easy staying still while someone who earned the name "The Axe-Murderer of Blair Atholl" jabs his finger into your eye to get something out.

Also, it would have been nice if someone hadn't boarded up the shed with my bike in it.

Might as well go and get the car out the garage... I don't need to leave to pick people up for one and a half hours yet, but it's parked so badly that I might as well make a start. T3, here we come.
