Hmmm, Shagrath. Tolkien had an Orc named Shagrat in the LotR. Coincidence?

Doubtful! There's also Shadowfax, which I'm sure not many of you have heard of. And David Arkenstone which, I'm sure must be his name however strange...

TheGodThatFailed I'd say Dimmu Borgir is black metal ;) Talking about Finnish bands with LotR themes do you know Battlelore? Awesome band you should check it out!

On another hand: NOOOO!

-I don't have to go to school wednesday april 27
-Finntroll is coming to the Netherlands at april 27
-There is NO train back after 23:39. With the concert starting around 20:30 I fear we'd miss a bit. On the other hand we'd have like 3 hours of fun (give or take a bit, planners say it's only a 4 minute walk from the station to the venue but I'd take 10 just to be sure)

Now I think the best option is go, hope they play fast and it's finished by then. The other is not going ( :( ) and last is sleeping at the train station or not sleeping and wait till 5:39AM for the next train. Problem is that I've got to be back before 9AM next morning to check my marks at school.

Could be he liked Shagrath from LotR when he chose this pseusonym?

I'm cold, its cold, and Canada's cold - and its been snowing for the past three days.

Hi all!

How are ya all doing? Anything new?

It's really #@*&ing cold, CD!! I just walked back from the library, and it sucked horribly bad. Drinking some coacoa, now, trying to get warm. I think my roomy's having troubles with his g/f, so that'll put a damper on the rest of this week. Oh well. I have loads of studying to do still, so I need to go. Later.

Definitely the third option philip... :D

Signed, King Dances with Squirrels

35 degrees F., here, and sunny. Which figures to 2 degrees Celsius, so it didn't freeze, yay.

Not going is never an option! [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img]

Many a time have concerts turned into all-night parties followed by early morning classes. Same problem here, getting into and out of Washington, D.C. In this case it's subway & bus schedules, but same thing.

Said at about midnight: "We're partying until lunchtime, guys!"

A friend of mine who we asked to go with us immediately called some friends if we couldn't stay the night at one of their houses [img]smile.gif[/img] She said it'd be easy to get some place. So I'm going to Finntroll!!!

Well, I gave Galadria an early Christmas present. A "House-Organizer" and her minions are going though our house, organizing and cleaning to a fare-thee-well. Trash day tomorrow is gonna be a big thing, I think.

I dissected a heart today..It was great! We were waiting for some more gloves, but I couldn't be bothered waiting, so I did it bare-handed. It was brilliant. You may think i'm some kind of heart-dissecting lunatic and, well, you'd probably be right but it really was fun, you shuld try it some time. But, do make sure it isn't a human heart, I wouldn't want to be promoting murder now, would I. :D

I have dissected several human hearts, though not without gloves on. I don't think it was all that exciting. Of course, they were expecting me to dissect seveal other things at the time. The abdomen, now ... :D

Maybe it shouldn't have been so exciting, but I'm used to Biology lessons, where we draw dodgy pictures and answer boring questions, so when they gave us a heart and a scalpel, it was definitley an improvement.

Primeminster McNutty, here! (tried a few others, and I'm also: Colonel Bignuts, Bushy Fluffycheeks, Private Wagglebottom, Brigadier Curlyarse, and Lieutenant McTwitch.) :D
Ah, that's too much fun. [img]smile.gif[/img]
In other news, I have a chemistry final tomorrow. :( I'm definitely not ready, either. Stupid electron configurations!! Well, I guess I'm off to study. Later, guys.

Good luck with the chemistry!! [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]
And I'm glad to see you're enjoying the squirrel name generator.

I've been out with friends and stuff all night, it's beena lot of fun, and it's 7:24 am now.

And where can i find this name generator?
unless it's on page 2, i'll check that next

Wish they'd do heart dissectioning in our biology lessons. What hearts did you dissect blunderbuss?

But well I'll be doing some of that when I go studying medicine next year [img]smile.gif[/img]

I think they were sheep hearts. Apparantly we dissect a liver next year.

Message for Blunderbuss ... "Mary wants to know what happened to her pet lamb, last she saw it was following someone to your school" :D


Wow that’s cold Attalus! *shiver* I wonder if thermometers in Australia even have zero written on the gauge [img]graemlins/1ponder.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/heee.gif[/img]

Sigh, the dog's in the hospital for over night. She was screeming in pain so we had to take her to the emergency clinic. She's getting old. They drained some fluid from her stomach and she seems to be much better. We'll see what they say in the morning; besides give me $300!

Care to trade places for the winter? ;)

Sir Goulum Its a deal ... how about in 6 months time when its winter down here.... and you pay for the airfares [img]graemlins/heee.gif[/img]

Just started watching LOTR extended versions to be ready for Santas ROTK present, which I'm sure he will bring [img]graemlins/heee.gif[/img]

Wellard, we get to 0 here in the winter.. but that's Farenheit! brrrrr!

Variol! I hope your dog is ok! It's so hard to watch them get old, isn't it? Still, I've always found that it's worth all the pain just to have the joy of their company all the years that come before that. I'll say a little prayer for your dog- she sounds like she's very loved. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Variol, cherish her while she's here. I lost my Eroica this time last year at 14 and it still hurts.

Wellard, it's warming up, and I'm still hoping to walk this afternoon.

Sometimes it gets so cold here that quicksilver freezes. -50 or so I think.

I win.

Show off.

Well, we're behind you, but not by much. We used to get into the -20s, but this season it's warmer than usual. We're hovering around freezing, right now. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Hey guys, I got back from bombing my chem final a while back. Decided I needed a nap! [img]smile.gif[/img] Anyways, not stressing so bad, anymore, now that it's over. Strange that I never want to take a test before, but wish I was still taking it later. [img]graemlins/1ponder.gif[/img] Well, I still have loads of shopping to do, so bye all. [img]graemlins/wavey.gif[/img]

Sorry everybody, bad news:
We had to take her in again tonight 'cos she was still in pain and could not walk properly. We took her to our regular Vet and decided it was best for her to end her suffering. Sixteen and a half was more than most dogs get and they were excellent years. I'm sure my wife and I will miss her for a long time.
http://img116.exs.cx/img116/9648/sasha20kd.gif

Sure! It's probably just as warm there in the winter, as it is here in the summer! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Oh Variol! I'm so sorry. :( You had her with you a long time and I'm sure she was pampered and loved and knew it! I know you'll miss her, I still miss kitties I lost years ago.

Just popped in to say good night to everyone, Oh and our washer blew today.. well, overbalanced and leaked all over (front loader)....whoohoo and joy joy...repair bills and waiting on repairmen!

I heard on the news today that this year has been the 4th warmest on record, for the world! ( I think it was the world, anyways....)

How did a washing machine fall over ???. When you say it blew what exactly went bang? They are not hard to fix if the electrics are OK.

In the meantime perhaps Someguy can stop sweeping the floor and start doing the laundery by hand for you [img]graemlins/heee.gif[/img]

I wouldn't at all doubt it, dude. Until yesterday there hasn't been a winter in the D.C. area. It was literally in the 70s this weekend!

Now, of course, it's 29 degrees F with an 8 knot freezing wind.

[img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img] Had to happen eventually, I guess!

Sorry about your dog Variol... but you know, all dogs go to heaven.

Anyway, I've been up since 2 am and now it's almost 6... thankfully I'm on evening shift today so can catch some sleep before it hit's 4 pm...

or should I call in sick and play video games all day.
never called in sick in the 2 and a half years I've worked there
hmmm choices choices...

Sorry to hear about your dog Variol. May her memory live on for long!

Sorry to hear about your dog Variol. That must really suck.

It was in final phase of the spin cycle, Wellard. Then it started making 'clunk clunk' sounds like the cylinder (wash tub) was off balance (which never happens with this new front load machine!) so we stopped it and rearranged the clothes then set it to rinse and spin again.

Started hearing the same sounds and then when Nacht ran to see what was up, he found water all over the floor, so we stopped the machine and emptied it and I 'm calling a repairman. HOPEFULLY it will be something that is still under warranty as it's now over a year old. :( Nacht said he heard something like a 'ball bearing' rattle, but I didn't hear it so I can't say what it was.

Isn't that a bad thing? With global warming and all that and I'm sorry to hear about your dog, Variol.

Ah Variol that sucks. Our last dog lived until she was 17, then started to have fits and we had to put her down. You do miss them. But now we have some new dogs, another black lab, who is now 6 years old, and a springer spaniel which is 3 or 4. Great company [img]smile.gif[/img]
