    I haven't played Fallout 3 and never intend to, so I can safely say that it's not a reference. It's actually an idea that's been floating around in the back of my head for a while as something that would be amusing to do, and this was an opportunity to let him out to play.

    I am this close to naming him Geoffrey. *holds fingers maybe a millimetre apart*

    Season 5 of Angel was fantastic. Mostly because of Spike. I love Spike..

    The hell, given another 2 or 3 days you'll be finished! And it's barely half way through the month!

    Even crazier, I'm actually slightly behind when compared to last year.

    Australian months are longer than ours, then? There are only 12 days left.

    30 days in november, hence half is 15 days. I wrote that on the 18th, which is 3 days passed the half way mark. To me that sounds like "barely half way through". People struggle more with numeracy in your country, then?

    And behind?! What're you going to do for the remaining 10 odd days? Edit?

    Half plus 1/10th is 6/10, not barely halfway.

    One tenth is one fifth of a half and in my mind worth fuck all comparitively.

    Hence by barely halfway it's not exactly halfway, not under but just over. Do you want to be any more semantic about it?

    It's 3 days. That's not even half a week.

    And I'm sorry, Grak. Next time I want to summarise literaly an estimate on how far through the month we are I'll ask you first if it's appropriate. Feel better yet?

    Now I haven't had to study fractions for a very long time but something tells me breaking down 1/10 is just not right....

    Just started listening to that 100 RPG battle themes, scary how many of them I recognise from my youth, the ones that surprised me the most was Suikoden and Wild Arms, I never knew they were popular.

    I'd never heard the #1 track, because the game never came out down here (how evil is it to only give us part 2 of a three-part series? BASTARDS!), but damned if I didn't go download it the instant I heard it.

    I was not a fan of the final ten at all, I have heard of the games, however I know deep down there were better songs that could of been chosen. Every time I heard a starocean song though it reminded me of you. I really think the guy had a hard on for the 'Sa Ga' series.
