Earth Sunset
As regular readers will no-doubt know, the other Earthlings and I are currently in the process of moving house. Last weekend, as well as watching the Eurovision Song Contest, of course, we packed a lot of boxes (mostly stuffed with board games) and moved a handful of them over to New Earth, our new home, …

A Very Merry Troma Night - Tonight At The Cottage
Tonight's Troma Night will be held at The Cottage. It's the final Troma Night of the year, and it'll be our least Christmassy of the "Christmas" Troma Nights ever, we suspect! Here's the plan:
8pm prompt start - order pizza and start watching xXx Top Gun (we can't get hold of a copy of … -
Llanwrtyd Wells Real Ale Ramble
What's everybody doing on the third weekend in November? If I could find reasonabley-priced accomodation (everybody likes camping, right <wink>), who'd be up for the Llanwrtyd Wells Real Ale Ramble - two days of trekking over hills and being fed real ale at various points along the way?
From the web site:

Spellcasting: A-L-C-O-H-O-L
Last night, Paul, Claire, Pete and I sat down, beer and gin and Dooley's to hand, and watched the entire first series of 80's kids TV game show Knightmare, taking a drink every time:
Team gives directions to dungeoneer that they can't possibly follow. ("Go through the door.")

Halloween In Aber
I'm a big bad wolf, it seems. And last night I, along with Little Red Riding Hood (Claire), Death (Bryn), Paul (Andy!), Judge Doom [barely] (JTA), Pinocchio (Matt), and Matt (not in costume... grr), went out to the Coopers Arms to see Pagan Wanderer Lu. And he was good - some songs I knew, some …

Nightmare Before Halloween
Despite all the fun last night brought, the alcohol evidently went to my head somewhat and I had a particularly awful nightmare. I dreamt that, later this month (on the 29th, in fact), Claire dies of a terminal illness. I don't remember much of it; only that we were making preparations for Halloween when she …

Yo-Ho-Ho And A Bottle Of Caern ‘O’ Moor
My mum and my sisters came down for the weekend. I'd not quite gotten around to recovering from my illness these past few days, so I was probably at least slightly grotty company, but nonetheless we all had a good time.
We visited Little Amsterdam, Aberystwyth's first sex shop, shortly after they opened on … -
Pickled Eggs
Went for a pint with Paul and Kit at the Ship & Castle, which eventually turned into a long trek through over a dozen Aberystwyth pubs in search of pickled eggs.
A secondary highlight of the evening was my phone call to Rummers Wine Bar, leaving a message on their answerphone: "Good evening; my name is … -
Carribean Night
It's not often you plan an entire evening around one ingredient... which turns out not to have anything to do with the food...
Kit: "What're we going to do with these coconuts?" (holds up two coconuts)
Two hours later, we're sipping pina coladas, eating carribean-style curry (soon to be followed by Bounty bars). The curry turned out … -
Paul In Aber
Paul made it to Aber. Woo and indeed hoo. He, Bryn, Kit, Claire, and I went to the beach and drank beer and ate pizza to celebrate. Then Claire and I took turns in an inflatable dingy and I got soaked as a wave leapt over the side. You'll probably see their reports of this …

Philosophy
After a long day at work, went to a couple of pubs with Kit and Claire and discussed philosophy, in particular people's value to the world. Later, Claire cried.
Be proud of yourselves. Goodnight; -
Claire’s Back
=o)
Last night was fun. After spending most of a day hacking into the BBC's weather centre (I wanted a weather forecast XML stream, but couldn't find a free one, so with Kit's help I stole one instead), he, Claire (recently returned) and I went down to the beach after midnight with a bottle of Caern … -

Cool Thing Of The Day
Cool And Interesting Thing Of The Day To Do At The University Of Wales, Aberystwyth, #32:
Go on a tour of the lesser-spotted pubs. End up in a club. Finish drinking at 1am. Still have a hangover twelve hours later. Still have a headache twenty hours later. Realise to your horror that there are a lot …
