5:30 pm	[WWF/E] Something cute. I was going to post this on de_generationx but for some reason it seems the comm's not having any of it, so I'll stick it on here instead until I figure out what's up over there. We have here... original broadcast footage of Triple H and HBK's legendary European Championship match from the 1997 RAW is War Christmas special! This clip includes the whole match, plus the promos and speeches either side. Possibly the most emotionally and physically gruelling match in WWF/E history... right? >.> ... ^_^ Laters, Rath Current Mood: mischievous Current Music: "Are you ready...?" (Comment on this)

Before I get into serious listing of who kicked whose ass and all that good stuff, I want to do something more important - list the shining moments. The moments that made me go I am so fucking glad I was part of that, because those are what make every damn penny I spend on these ridiculous adventures worthwhile. So!

10:42 pm	[Circus of Horrors] So how was *your* Saturday night? ( So far tonight I have seen... [includes spoilers for the Day of the Dead show] ) ...what do you mean, was I on Youtube all evening? >.> No, I was not, I was at the Circus of Horrors' "Day of the Dead" show at Whitby Pavilion theatre. See it if you get chance, people, it is brilliant. Consisting of a series of freak and circus acts with a thumping live rock-show accompaniment, loosely strung together by a plot involving Aztec temples, people rising from the dead, and, er, demon dwarves, it's two hours of glorious spectacle which is billed as "not suitable for sissies and chavs" and is, accordingly, fantastic fun. I am so glad I decided to go to that. ^_^ Laters, Rath PS Rumours that I may have been ever so slightly drooling over Doktor Haze, the Undead Ringmaster are, of course, gross slander and should not be entertained for even a second by any right-thinking person. >_____> Current Mood: excited Current Music: Nothing right now, cos I didn't know the show songs (12 Comments |Comment on this)

7:10 pm	[WWE] Raw results... Smackdown results... Survivor Series... zombies - wait, WHAT? Or in other words, how in the name of all Hades did I miss this? ZOMBIE WRESTLERS! ^________^ I normally do not believe in crossing the streams, but in this case, I really do. Zombie DX! Zombie Edge who they've barely even bothered to do anything with except turn him blue, cos he looks scary enough on his own *g*. Randy Orton, who... well, damn, is all I can say to that. O_O And John Morrison's come-hither gesture looks SO wrong on his undead version... and yet... >.> Even the Divas mostly look good in a few layers of photoshop, it has to be said. And 'Taker... well, obviously. Heeeeee. Ooh, here are more! ...and okay, wow, it IS possible to make Triple H even more badass. *staaaaares* Who'd'a thunk?

9:14 pm	[Review] [Wrestling] EPW, Whitby Leisure Centre, 11/10/09 I have to admit, one thing I didn't expect to find in my immediate neighbourhood here was a local wrestling promotion! However, EPW seem to be it, around here, if you want to watch men in spandex. So, having seen their posters around town offering "American Wrestling" live, I figured I'd go along and see how the homegrown talent does it. Especially since I'm going to see both Smackdown and RAW next month, so I quite liked the idea of having a local benchmark by way of comparison.

8:51 pm	[Whitby] My first local gig! I have to say, one thing about moving here that I did have doubts about was the likely lack of a local rock scene. However, there do appear to be a couple of places! Mostly it's just covers bands and discos, but, well. As long as I can dance...!

11:10 am	If it's too loud... Here's a really interesting thread I just found on the Amazon forums, while I was looking for Ingrimm albums... vequinox, you might find this interesting given your post the other day? For those who don't do clicking, or in case it disappears, this thread was about "growing out of it", specifically in the context of music. I quote from the thread starter, a Mr Nugent_Dirt: "do you ever get that feeling when going through your collection that maybe you're now a bit old for some of it and that probably you should get rid and start trying to listen to 'mature' adult genres e.g. Baroque, bebop, madrigals, Breton folk etc. I say this because I'm clearing out a lot of my collection and noticed there's still quite a lot of Rave and 'Madchester' CDs. Fine when I was in my late teens / early 20s but 15 -20 years down the line??? Most likely not. Is it alright for men in their 50s plus to still be listening to 'Highway to hell' or Slayer? After all, we dont still read Asterix or the Beano. or play with trainsets...I assume." Obviously, anyone who knows me knows my views on this kind of thing. To change what I listen to for any other reason than because I genuinely stopped enjoying it, would be to lie about my entire self - and you won't, I devoutly hope, ever catch me doing that. In fact if anything I've gotten less uptight about my musical tastes as I've gotten older, admitting to enjoying a lot of things that I'd have been a bit quieter about a few years ago (y halo thar, Michael Jackson, Belinda Carlisle and occasional outbreaks of seventies disco >.> ). And there's more than a few people in the linked thread who clearly feel the same. But then, this: "To put it in a nutshell if you've got a new lady/man friend, work colleagues, prospective in laws, neighbours etc coming round to visit and you want to make a good impression surely you'd hide or get shot of stuff that might make them think ' hello, we've got a right one here' . I know I would. After all, if i was single and dating, was invited to dinner but saw that my date had teddies on her bed, Garfield stationary, a complete set of Harry Potter DVDs and books and Britney Spears CDs it would definitely be a case of legging it out of the toilet window." "I take your point but dont we all need to make compromises etc to muck along with everyone else, get a sh*g, get promotion etc? Some things I have to hide away from the vicar, the wife's chums, female relatives, daughters etc like my leather bound back issues of Razzle, the tennis girl scratching her @rse poster and a Rachel Stevens album." And this is where I really stop getting it entirely. How can you possibly be willing to base your life on that much of a lie? Doesn't it ever occur to you, late at night as you lie and watch the dark, that maybe you only have one chance at this world and you'd be better off doing whatever you want to do with it instead of bending over for some bunch of assorted twats who won't really respect you whether you fit their stereotypes or not? Good grief. Not to mention that you're openly admitting that you'd expect other people to do the same! If you're worried about how critical people are going to be of you, you might try being more accepting of them... I don't have anything really intelligent and witty to say about this, I freely admit. I'm mostly just posting about it because I'm fortunate enough to be surrounded, pretty much entirely, by understanding, accepting, young-or-young-at-heart people who react to my various strange pastimes and crazy dreams with interest, appreciation and respect instead of mockery or criticism (love you guys!). And so sometimes it's easy for me to slide into thinking that hey, nobody can really be that bad, can they? Is there really this kind of self-stifling, self-destructive prejudice and fear of individuality out there? This belief that some faceless collective of "everybody" can actually know better than you what you should like, what you should want, what you should do with your life, and you have to conform to that? So this is mostly just to remind myself, and those of you who feel the same as me, all of you rockers, ravers, lovers and sinners* - yes, the system is still out there. There are still people out there who are locking themselves and each other into these horrible little beige boxes of restraint and convention and acceptability. We still have something to rebel against after all. Guys, I don't think they heard us yet...

1:43 pm	Anyone for pagan public art? Does anyone fancy coming up to the Odin's Glow event up on Roseberry Topping, near where I currently live? It's a huge lightshow with art installations and music, and while they're shying around the fact on the website, yes, it is basically in honour of Odin and it's on one of his sacred sites. ^_^ If anyone wants to come, the dates are 22, 23, 24, or 25 October - unfortunately tickets have sold out so the only way to get them is through one of the "book a meal at a local restaurant and get free tickets thrown in" deals that are still around. However, this may not be such a hardship as one of these restaurants is the Pinchinthorpe Hall country steakhouse which also, incidentally, has its own microbrewery and trades as the North Yorkshire Brewing Co. So tell me here, and PDQ, if you're interested! (Yo, ironlord? Beer and Odin? *waves*) Laters, Rath Current Mood: excited Current Music: Hammerfall, Any Means Necessary (4 Comments |Comment on this)
2:49 am	[Whitby] All the way up to the top of the steps... So I just got in, anyways... I've been up to the East Cliff every night now, almost, since I got here. And it's never been the same twice. From breathlessly still, to seven-eighths of a gale. From bright starlight to all-consuming cloud. High tide and low, ebb and flow. The light changes shapes and moves things around - some nights the Abbey's gone altogether or skulking malevolently in the shadows, some nights the graveyard goes right up past the edge of the sky - the proportions and places of things never look the same as they do in the daylight. The moon hangs in the east, an innocent white marble or a sly yellow grin; a sliver more or less, this way or that, every night. But it's always deserted, and always so, so silent, save for the water and the wind and the occasional late-night seagull. The sea rolls on the beaches below, sweeping against the sand, tearing itself apart on the jagged black rocks of the Scar. The streets across the sleeping town are empty, abandoned, lit by streetlights for nobody's benefit. The Starry Wisdom (*cough* West Cliff Congregational Church yeah right) vanishes into the night from up there, as though it doesn't want its more powerful rival on the top of the East Cliff to get a look at it - since St Mary's is the mistress of the Whitby churches. I don't think anyone could dispute that. She and her legendary dead are most definitely calling the shots up here, whether they're watching over the cliffs, standing landmark for benighted travellers, or blocking the occasional recalcitrant malice of the Abbey from seeping down the Steps to make life uncomfortable for the sleeping innocents on the streets below. I love that church, I've almost never felt such completely comforting vibes off a supposedly Christian building. It makes me wonder what's going on with that... I am so glad I came here.

12:57 pm	[Whitby] What's that sticking out? Okay, so since I moved to Whitby on Monday, I've been sticking to a personal promise that I'm going to climb the 199 Steps at least once every single day I am here. So far, so good. But last night, at about ten pm... At the top of the steps, tucked into the corner of the old churchyard, is a rubbish bin for the benefit of the tourists. As I was climbing up, I could see something poking out of the bin. At first, I thought it was a stuffed carrier bag half-crammed in - a roundish object, with a protruding bit that might have been a twisted-up handle... It was twitching. Now, bear in mind that I was completely alone, in the dark, in the just-starting rain, ten steps from a graveyard. A certain shiver went through me. There was something kind of disturbing, something very organic, about the way it was moving... I approached closer. My thought process, as I got nearer, went along the lines of "That looks like an arse. Is that an arse? What kind of thing has a brindle-grey arse and would be head down in a bin? Is that a... oh, it can't be... what the fuck?!" as a large badger, apparently at least as surprised as I was, reversed with a scrabble of claws out of the bin, dropped to the ground, looked both ways with a distinct expression of "you didn't see that, right, mate, hush hush and all that?" and then bolted into the long grass of the graveyard. All I could do was stare and try not to laugh. And I was literally three paces away when this happened. I have never been anywhere near that close to a badger before in my life. They are gorgeous! They have lovely intelligent faces and are surprisingly agile for something so bulky-looking, and those black and white Immortal-style muzzle stripes are really striking when you're seeing them on the living creature instead of a dead stuffed one or just a picture. Badgers FTW. So yes, so far Whitby is awesome, thank you. ^_^ Laters, Rath Current Mood: delighted Current Music: Badger, badger, badger, badger... (13 Comments |Comment on this)

8:25 pm	Situation report. You've heard of "coming home to an empty house", right? Well, I think I've found the paradigm case - namely, coming home to a house that contains no housemate, no furniture, nothing at all apart from a few days' indoor-camping supplies, aaaaand... ...a lot of dust bunnies. Yep, I drew the house-cleaning straw, due to having to go to Games Day on Sunday and therefore not being able to go up North with Koi today. So I am not only all by me onesie, I have to do the vacuuming/dusting/washing of every bally thing as well. Still, there's a certain satisfaction to be had in sitting with the classic I've-got-no-date Dominos takeout (7" pizza, one side order that you paid for and one free one because you ordered it off the internet, and chocolate brownies) and getting gratuitously sentimental over Devilish Presley's Viva Lost Vagrants. Those of you who know me well can probably hear the grin in all the above bitching just reading this. Oh well, I'll blitz the place, sing loudly and out of tune because I can, and tomorrow... ooh, tomorrow is exciting. I get to go for drinks with everyone (this is your last reminder, 2pm in the Maypole and then 4pm in the Zebra, guys!) and also, thanks to Downing and an old voucher I found, I have £55 to spend in Robert Sayle so I'm going to go and buy something completely pointless and pretend to be a posh lady who can afford to go in places like that. Hey, I don't usually mind being poor and buying cheap versions of everything, but this time I have a cast-iron excuse for a really expensive treat so dammit, I'm going to have a blast. ^_^ (Oh and if anyone's bored enough to come round and keep me company tonight, btw, I've got... er, no booze, no chairs, half a pizza left and some good music on some very bad speakers, but you're welcome anyway. ^_^) Cheers, Rath Edit: I feel quite proud. I just managed to rehang the stairwell door - plank oak on big iron hinges - single-handedly using only my Swiss army knife, despite the complete twonks who took it off in the first place having unscrewed the top hinge on the frame side instead of the door side and thus made it exponentially harder than usual. I'm not taking an oath it's completely safe now as the screws are kind of jammed half way *worried look*, but I'll tell the landlord and pray for luck... And aptly enough, this was just in time for the "Anything is possible with rock'n'roll!" bit in Hammer Horror Glamour. I approve. ^_^ Edit Mark II: ( And done!

4:50 pm	Laid back looking for sympathy ...well, more like laid flat, actually. I do not believe it. Three days from moving day, with two job handovers to finish and any amount of bedlam to sort out, and what happens? I get food poisoning. For reals. I spent the whole of last night throwing up and most of today thus far lying on a sofa feeling utterly wretched. What the frag, universe. Your sense of timing is not pleasing to me. Luckily, Oliver is a fucking star and came over and brought me coke and helped us pack (thank you so much mate), and we had Koi's mum to help too, but still. I feel simultaneously pissed off, humiliated, guilty, and really fucking ill. :6 (Sorry, as you were. I am just so stunned by the sheer "what, why me, why NOW" of the situation that I had to post and whine about it...) Rath Edit: Now feeling - well, functional again, anyway.

9:39 am	Rath leaving drinks, UPDATE Right! Thank you to everyone who replied to my last post - I now have a Plan! On Saturday 26th September, you will be able to find a Rath at the following locations: 2pm - 4pm: THE MAYPOLE, because I am not leaving Cambridge without at least one strawberry daiquiri. I might not find good ones anywhere else. 4pm - 8.30pm: THE ZEBRA, because I am not leaving Cambridge without annoying everyone by playing Iron Maiden on the jukebox, either. ;) At 8:30 pm I will have to go as I have a dinner date - however, that should be more than enough time for everyone to turn up and drink beer, and afterwards, if they wish, continue to drink beer without the intrinsic downside of being at a sober person's party... >.> So!

10:08 am	Rath leaving drinks! Right, since I'm sure there have to be a few people left in this town who can be lured out with beer... As you all know, I am leaving Cambridge as of the 28th September. Consequently, on the 26th (Saturday) afternoon/evening, I am going to be In The Pub, where anyone who feels an interest in my imminent departure may join me (although I will, of course, be prepared for the likeliest scenario and will have my copy of the Eisenhorn trilogy with me, so no pressure. ;) ) However! I have yet to decide on a pub. Does anyone have Views? Current contenders are: - The Maypole. I know it's expensive and busy but, cocktails! - The Bath House. Again with the busy, but I like the food. - The Zebra. You will, of course, have to put up with my jukebox selections. I am, for this reason if no other, leaning towards this option. ;) So, there you go.

11:15 am	Moving house Well, this is it, we are definitely moving. Our new house is on Church Street, Whitby, right up by the market square and below the church/Abbey/199 Steps. I am so thrilled about this, seriously. Moving day weekend is going to be the period from the 25th-28th September - I think the plan is currently to move most of our gear on the 26th, and then I'll sleep on the floor for the weekend while cleaning the house, going to Games Day on the Sunday, and having farewell pints with anyone who wants to join me. :) Re. stuff for sale/giveaway: olithered, are you still interested in that bike? Also, neonbabelfish, do you want those Super Soakers? I've stuck a picture in the comments of the previous post if you want to see! (Holy Darkness, two weeks.

4:32 pm	Stuff Needs Homes Hey everyone, Does anyone want some Stuff? We're having a clearout before we move! On offer are: Dept of Free, We Just Want The Space: - Vacuum cleaner, of the wheeled, hose variety. Basic cheap one from Argos, black. Er, it works? I think there are some spare bags for it as well. - Silver minifridge. Ideal for stashing booze in your room or for any students who are sick of having their food nicked from communal fridges. - claim't: i_am_toast - Super Soakers, two of. Excellent condition, formerly from the Lyndon's onboard armament. (I'm moving to the Yorkshire coast. The last thing I am going to need is water pistols. >.>) - claim't: neonbabelfish - An old bike. This used to belong to the former lonescorpion. It's been outside in the rain all winter but if you happen to want a free bike as a fixer-upper, it still has all the bits and would probably be absolutely fine with a few new components and some TLC. - claim't: olithered - Foam mattress. Firm foam, around 6'6" x 2'6" x 6" dimensions. Has a zip-on waterproof cover which is basically knackered and would need replacing, but foam is fine underneath - could easily be cut up for sofa cushions or similar. - claim't: tinypinkbubble Dept of Make Me An Offer Or It's Going On Ebay: - My beloved, but sadly too big to take with me, Carlsbro bass amp. Beautiful vintage (1980) transistor amp with quad 10" speakers, gig calibre; full working order as long as you're gentle with it, kicks out 150W aka enough noise to wake the dead. Loves active pickups but will do a fine job with passives as well. This used to belong to monkage and has consequently been looked after and fixed up to an excellent standard. View/test highly recommended, guide price £100. ( Techie details under here. ) Current Mood: useful Current Music: Ragnaröek, Tanz Mit Mir (18 Comments |Comment on this)

7:48 pm	I'm back from Iceland! And finally with it again... I certainly don't think I missed anything there, did I miss anything here? ^_^ (Apart from THE DX REUNION, yessssss! *waves green glowsticks triumphantly*) And to my delight and surprise, while I was gone, someone has sent me a collectible Iron Maiden figure! I can't help feeling that a small statue of Eddie rising from the grave with a set of broken chains hanging from his wrists was a perfect choice in many, many ways - thank you so much, whoever you are! If you want to be acknowledged for your generosity, please let me know it was you! Meanwhile, I've just had the entire day off and been involved in a conversation that ended with the words "And lo, in the years to come there were many that called themselves Buggerallesson!" from Koi. I'm not going to give you the context because there wasn't any, frankly. Oh, and just for ironlord, here's Dead's camcorder Timotei moment linked again, since you said while we were in Iceland that you'd never seen this clip. None more krieg... honestly... >.> Right, now I need to label a bunch of CDs and attempt to find somewhere to live from the end of next month. Review and sensible entry later!

7:07 pm	This post is not about Wacken So... I guess I'd better put this up and tell everyone, now. Not least because naranek will let the cat out of the bag for me when he advertises my job, if I don't get a wiggle on here... Ladies, fish and gentlemen, I am - finally - making plans to leave Cambridge. You heard me. After a decade in this cursed citadel, I quit. I want to live somewhere I love (as in an actual place, not just somewhere-where-the-people-make-it-bearable) before I turn thirty, and I'm gonna be twentynine in two weeks, which is getting a little close to the wire. So I'm (fingers crossed) going, and the current plan is that I'll be moving to... Whitby! Yes, my favourite place in the entire length and breadth of this sceptred isle. How great is that? And even better? I reckon, with a bit of financial effort, I can go full-freelance and become a professional proofreader/copyeditor, thanks mostly to the awesome people at Black Library. ♥ So if this works out, at the age of thirty I'll be living exactly where I've wanted to be for years, with one of my dearest friends in the world, getting paid to read pulp fantasy and SF (just like my mum and dad used to joke about when I was little) and never having to get out of bed on someone else's schedule again. Sounds too good to be true, doesn't it? I'm really hoping it isn't, though. And I'm just grateful to the Powers that command (and occasionally fiddle with) the universe for having let so many things fall into place at once to make it possible for me to even try. Thank You, guys. *looks up happily* BTW, if anyone would like my job at Kynesim (accounts and office management, though I think Richard wants someone who can help with the sales and marketing side as well) do poke Richard about that. If anyone fancies the Records Manager's post at Downing, as well, that'll go up for grabs too - I'm planning to quit at the end of September, so it should get advertised probably a bit before then. And - obviously - there's also going to be a vacant bass player's slot in Fire & Forget! Once again, please apply care of naranek... So if anyone wants to do anything with, to or for me before I leave, please let me know and I will attempt to schedule it as long as it doesn't sound too painful. ;) Furthermore, please remind me if I owe you money, beer, favours, or borrowed items from any time in the last ten years, so that I can square them all away accordingly. Thank you!

9:52 am	Back from Wacken! So I'm back from Wacken and finally conscious enough to check my internet! And I had a blast. ^_^ Thank you so much to ironlord for taking me (and jellybearwhore for apparently not hating me, hi there! *wave*) Full review later, when I have time to write up all the incoherent scribbled notes I made, and also pictures! For now, though: ( Eleven greatest things that happened at Wacken! ) And for the record, some final statistics: Bands I caught enough of to have an opinion on: 51 Bands actually properly watched-and-enjoyed: 22 Time spent in beer garden: < 2 hours Time bailed out on the last night: just after 3am, after the Wacken Closing Song Total expenditure excluding travel costs: 365 euros and worth every cent!
