I’ve always found size comparisons of our local heavenly bodies to be very interesting. Hopefully the human race won’t destroy itself before it can colonize some of these space rocks. We really need to get off this planet and spread ourselves a little. Of course I am reading Card’s Ender’s Shadow series of books, which deal with space colonization. So, maybe my views are a tad tainted at the moment.

Satine with Istan Headgear

I needed a new headgear so I could swap out the Superior Rune from a Blood Magic to Curses. I went with an Istan one, since she already has one from Tyria and Cantha. I have to say this one turned out a lot cooler looking than I expected.
I even re-ran the Iron Mines of Moledune and got it infused already.
Doesn’t she look neat!

What a wild and crazy ride!
This is the first book in Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series. The world it takes place in is a magical fantasy land, whose populace lives on a great disc. This disc sits on the back of four giant elephants… who are standing on the back of a big turtle swimming through space.
Sounds a bit wierd already? The tale follows the misadventures of a incompetent wizard named Rincewind and a Tourist from a distant part of Discworld. It is a lot of fun.
The story is a bit haphazard as our protagonists are dragged around their world. I think I enjoyed the Piers Anthony book (A Spell for Chameleon) a little more than this one. It was a good read.
I just wish Pratchett actually used chapters instead of running it all together. I’m going to put more of his books in my queue, so we’ll see if his style grows on my. At least this book had quite a bit of humor in it.

One of my long term goals is to have a pet spider. They can only be found in the underworld, which is usually a pain to get to. You have to pony up 1K gold and the gods must show your region favor. The favor thing ties to the PVP matches. If your country of origin is higher in the standings or not.
Well this weekend is an event where you can get into the underworld for free and sans favor. I’m going to rustle up my heros, and maybe a friend, to see if I can get me a spider. Then I can cross that accomplishment off my list.
So long my phoenix, I hardly new you.

I’ve been trying to eat more vege’s. I used to not eat them at all, so in many ways I’ve vastly improved. My hope of all hopes is that my daughter will have a taste for them. I wish the food producers of the world would find better ways of getting vegetables into the snacks we eat.
In a form that is actually healthy, please.
