Sucks, but good luck sorting it out.

On a completely different note, I've sort of begun a minor crush on Florence + The Machine.

Running a random netradio in the background while playing is awesome. I've found so many new artists I like in just the last two weeks.

In this case, Leffe brune.

No Internet in the new house and it's gonna be another 9 days or so till we get it, and there is no Facebook, Alla or IRC from college! :(

I am in Nottingham, now, though, and it's lovely. INTERNETS

If you just got that, I'm really jealous. I based my entire portfolio on close up photography, but it just didn't feel right without a macro lens. Also, 1:1 macro ratio is win.

Edit: I realise I'm not Aeth, but he probably won't show up until tomorrow. Silly Europeans and their timezones.I really wish I was still in Scotland.

I'm going to Scotland the week after next \o/ and moving to Scotland for Fringe with a few people. You /need/ to come to Fringe.

If I get my business stuff going finally and get a bunch of A*s, I am going to reapply to every GOOD uni in Scotland (except Glasgow), i.e. Edinburgh and St Andrews. Also Oxford.

The last time I checked this thread was 2347 posts ago...

I got it because I've wanted a macro, and it's a pretty incredible price for the lens. Sure, you have to get really close to get 1:1, but it's not that bad, and I have my 18-200 which does a decent macro for wildlife. So far I've been pretty impressed with the pictures. I'll probably upload some to picassa and I'll link that here.

My current upload speed is horrendous though, so it's taking forever to upload the pics. There's a few that I'm uploading that aren't super awesome, but they're mostly ok.

Thank you for the warning >.>;;

The only good spider is a dead spider.

Also, 1k post ding. =P

It's not that I'm afraid of spiders, I just prefer to see them decorating the bottom of my boots.

Spiders and clowns are among the most horrifying things in the universe.

Spiders are evil and must die a fiery death.

In other news, I can now successfully heal regular dungeons. To a point where I take great pleasure in letting people die if they stand in fire, knowing I could have healed through it no problem.

When I was younger, I had some episodes involving spiders that left me scarred for life.

1. Was mowing the lawn at my parents' house when I noticed something that looked like wool stuck in some bushes. I went to pick it up, only for it to "explode" all over my hands. Turned out it was a spider nest and a million or so tiny spiders crawled all over my arms, under my shirt and everything.

2. A while later I woke up in the night with a tickling sensation on my chin. I brushed it away, still half asleep, thinking it was a strand of hair tickling my lips, but noticed it had a slightly different texture. I turned on the light and the first thing I saw was a spider on the wall right next to my bed. Then I felt the strand of hair crawl away from my mouth.

3. A year later or so, I went to my room in the evening and wanted to turn on the light. I knew where the light switch was, so I reached out and grabbed a fist-sized spider instead. Turned out two spiders had taken up residence on my wall.

4. Later that night, having only captured one of the spiders, I saw the other move behind some cardboard boxes as I went to bed. Just before I fell asleep, I swear to god, I heard one of the boxes move.

Spiders, when they manage to corner me, suffer a sudden and violent death.
