ding!
Omorimil (front) and some guildmates moments after my main character turned 70 in World of Warcraft. Happened a lot sooner than expected. So now I can really start playin' the game!
Stormy outside, so guess how I'm spending the rest of my day. ;)

From Gandalf to Lear... to Dr Who
from this morning's issue of The Press:
"British actor Ian McKellen will lead the Royal Shakespeare Company, in two new productions at the ASB Theatre, in Auckland's Aotea Centre, in August.
The limited season of Shakespeare's King Lear and Chekhov's The Seagull (August 18-26) directed by Trevor Nunn...
Joining McKellen in King Lear is Sylvester McCoy (best known as the seventh doctor in Dr Who) as The Fool. In The Seagull McKellen will play Sorin, a role he will alternate with William Gaunt. The role of Arkadina will be performed by Frances Barber..."
This is so right on so many geek levels for me that I very nearly hyperventilated.
I know where I am gonna be one weekend in August!!
In other excellent geek news:
ARMAGEDDON POP CULTURE EXPO is coming to Chch!!! Finally!!!
Guests include John Rhys Davies (LOTR), Don S Davies (Stargate SG1) and Avery Brooks (Captain Sisko!!)
I hereby declare this the official Year of the Geek

Meme, Suckers!!
I'm not usually into these, but it seems to be going round at the moment and seems to be pretty interesting way of getting those that read me (all 2 of you) to speak up and for me to get to know something about you both:
Meme o' the day:
reply to this post and...
1. I'll respond with something random about you.
2. I'll challenge you to try something.
3. I'll pick a color that I associate with you.
4. I'll tell you something I like about you.
5. I'll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
6. I'll tell you what animal you remind me of.
7. I'll ask you something I've always wanted to ask you.
8. If I do this for you, you must post this in your journal.
