Dreamtime!

Had a dream last night that I was playing some sort of masquerade-esque sci-fi LARP with my NZ posse - there was me, Dan, Andy, Jarrod, Callum, Chris, and probably some other people. What really amused me was that me, Andy and Jarrod had all based our characters on Avon from Blake's 7. So we were all talking to each other in terrible, over the-top sentences and trying to out do each other with cold cynicism. I actually cracked up laughing later in the dream as I remembered it, and I was grinning this morning when I woke up. I guess I'm slightly homesick? Either that or I need to dress in [fabulous costumes and roam the galaxy being awesome.

Come with us through the gates of hell

I've been helping Fred with his massive Something Awful thread about mutated and mangled animals fighting each other in brutal pit fights.

Last night, we ended it, with a video I spent EIGHT HOURS editing.

I encourage everyone to read the thread (it's huge but you don't have anything better to do, surely), then watch the video. Or at least watch the video.

EIGHT HOURS.

Current Mood:

hungover

Current Music: Propane Nightmare (on repeat in my head)

In the trail of fire I'll burn before you bury me.

The Pendulum gig was FUCKING AMAZING as I thought it would be. There's already clips from the gig on YouTube, but they don't really capture the atmosphere. Or how fucking hot it was.

Jes has gone back to the US for a couple of weeks to Boogie it up, so there's noone to really drag me away from the computer. But if I do venture outside, perhaps it would be to live in Aquatic Libertarian ~~nightmare~~ paradise. A man is entitled to the sweat of his own brow you know (I wonder if they'll have a giant statue of Ron Paul at the door?)

Horrific Supernatural News, Everyone!

( If you like Futurama, Hellboy and BPRD, this is pretty much the best thing in the world ever )

Cosmonauts are go

Russia is fast becoming my favorite go-to country for space awesomeness. Unlike all those other countries with their "unammed rovers" and "sub-orbital hops", our eastern Comrades are sending monkeys to mars and proposing orbital construction plants

Hell yeah, Russia. HELL YEAH.

Oh New Zealand...

...even your crimes are hillariously rubbish.

"The police spokesman said the suspect was arrested "for assault with a weapon, namely the hedgehog."

Meanwhile, in London.

I think I saw a corpse today, lying glassy-eyed on Whitehall, Nelson peering down at him from his column, as curious as the rest of us. The road had been blocked off but my fellow cyclists and I could dismount and wheel our bikes along the footpath, trying not to stare as a policeman beat with practiced measure on the chest of the young motorcyclist.

Okay, now this is cool

Project Constant Peg

"For more than a decade, until just before the November 1989 fall of the Berlin Wall, a secret Air Force aggressor unit flew Soviet MiGs in more than 15,000 sorties against US Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps pilots."

Battle! Metal!

So.. uh... it seems that I'm going to see Turisas on Thursday.

ALSO: Sea Slug inspires brain implant. "This ability to morph could help build therapeutic devices to be implanted into the brains of patients who suffer from Parkinson's disease, stroke or spinal cord injuries.".

Coming next from BBC World, "Wealthy Industrialist to build Undersea Utopia".

Your dose of links - Weirdness of the Deep edition

The Armored Snail - "Waren said that when he first examined the sea snail, the animal's magnetized scales kept sticking to his forceps. He guessed that an iron mineral was involved."
The "Slowdown" sound - From the same ocean that bought you The Bloop.
Tongue Eating Parasite - "As the parasite grows, less and less blood reaches the tongue, and eventually the organ atrophies from lack of blood"
