L. Marcus Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Our first gold -- in the women's cross-country skiing 4x5 km relay. Charlotte Kalla was third out on her leg, 26 seconds behind the lead. She passed the German and the Finn on the inside of the last bend, and won by .3 seconds.

death tribble Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Other than the sad news about Aaron Allston, it has been quite a good day for me. One of my Fu Manchu films arrived in the post, another piece of Storn art arrived and he uploaded the ones he has done for me, and lastly the first of four other pieces of art from a Phillipines artist was shown to me in colour flats stage.

Bazza Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 About a minute ago I got a tweet from Josh Randor, who plays Ted in How I Met Your Mother. I is one reason why i love Twitter. Ordinary people communicating with ordinary people who also happen to be famous.

L. Marcus Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 I'm not the most social fellow, but tonight I went to dinner and and a show with some friends. We went to the theater -- that also has a very decent restaurant, the chicken was very nice -- and saw Frankenstein. The guy who played the Creature was very good, and the oldster who played the Blind Man was ace. Pretty faithful to the original novel -- kinda like Kenneth Branagh's adap. tkdguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

death tribble Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 So on Saturday I lead a group of Vampires to steal an artifact from under the very gunfire of the Gentlemen's Club in broad daylight. And no the vampires were not Twilight ones. Mind you on the leader escaped, all of the others were show down by the Gentlemen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
death tribble Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 Fast Class travel on the railway is wonderful. You get the 1st Class lounge with free orange juice and coffee and papers magazines. On the train itself you get bigger chairs. You also get not one but a multitude of free drinks. Orange juice, coffee and tea. I could have had five but I had four. It was nice and peaceful. And the weather was good. Also the fact that the line had reopened after repairs necessitated by the storms helped. One of the best journeys I have ever had. And that was my Easter present that was. L.

Cancer Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 BTW, on Friday I had a first at this institution: a student came up after class and pointed out she had been given too many points on her paper. I think we are both expecting her to kick butt in my class. L. Marcus, death tribble and tkdguy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
death tribble Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 Train journey was wonderful. First class travel means lots of space, multiple teas and coffees for free, and getting off the train first. When I got back the whole public space in the flats has been carpeted. Wonderful. tkdguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemming Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Yesterday was nice, got a response from an application wanting references and while I was double checking that the info was correct, also pinged the head vet at my old job to see if I could use him as well. And he said of course. Same day, I was also asked if I wanted to start being paid for photography. (Would be more hours than what I've been doing on a volunteer basis.) Of course, I can only do one of these jobs, but for now the photo gig will help with the money situation. L.
