One road over from where I live, this is the other half of my running route every day. The red brick of the houses looked amazing in the afternoon sun today.
1
I knew there were classic NES games in Animal Crossing, but I didn't expect to find this. Now I need to dig up a decent PC to play it on.
2
I had some great Chinese food at this little place in Camden market today, shopping for a birthday present for Owen_In_Boots. Sitting inside you can see the curve of the railway arch it's tucked into.
3
Sometimes, if I've slept very well, my hair will literally go crazy
4
The Chun Li figurine I got with Street Fighter IV. She is the character I'm most comfortable using since I know most of her moves, but I'm still not very good. If only the game actually tried to teach you how to play.
5
I love popcorn, but I don't have a microwave any more. So I carry this box in my bag to work, in case of emergencies.
6
My Left 4 Dead posters, a Christmas present from Locke. I'm a huge fan of Valve's games and loved the movie poster design for the loading screens, so it made my day when I found out I could have them for real.
7
Another street near mine, this is Mornington Avenue in the sunrise. I love the houses here, they look like little Gothic castles.
8
Flavour combinations that exist: Cheese & Pickle: Yes, Cheese & Onion: Yes, Pickle & Onion: Until today, I didn't think so. Ironically, they taste of cheese
9
At the request of Owen_In_Boots, another photo of Maddie and Megan, this time in sleep mode.
10
I think I'm starting to get the hang of taking pictures of myself. This is the army surplus jacket I bought in York years ago. It's fun to wear sometimes, although it's very heavy.
11
The late morning sunlight coming through the tree behind my house. The leaves are turning and it's getting colder, but the days can still be bright.
12
Today I finished the book I was reading, 'A Game of Thrones' by George R.R. Martin. It was really good, I need to pick up the sequels some time.
13
With today's free update to Dawn of War 2, and the announcement of the upcoming expansion pack, I thought I'd show off the awesome Tech Priest my friend Phil gave me as a present a while back. I named him Nihilus Khan, after a character from an old Dark Heresy campaign, and he has watched over the machine spirit of my computer for almost three years now.
14
My new hot water bottle came today. I don't really need it now since I figured out the heating in my place, but it's nice to know I have it. It's really fluffy and soft.
15
These signs suddenly appeared on the streets where I live, and it seems someone decided to alter this one. I love how ridiculously badly they did it, not even bothering to try to fit the existing word into the joke :D
16
Somehow only one of my two games arrived from Amazon today. Not sure how that worked out, but I'm still glad I have Brutal Legend.
17
Sitting at my desk, recording the weekly video games podcast that I do, the NooBTooB Modcast. You can see all my consoles in this picture, and yes, I have a dual-screen computer :)
18
He finally made it to me through the jungle. I can't wait to play Uncharted 2 (aside from posing the box in stupid pictures, of course :D)
19
The last model shot (for now), these are the Scutter and Starbug figurines I got from getting the special editions of certain seasons of Red Dwarf.
20
It always amuses me that my American friends don't know what a boiled egg is. Thus, here is a picture of the one I had for lunch yesterday. It was delicious.
21
'The Traveler' by Eric Joyner, a great artist who specialises in paining robots and doughnuts. I'm very proud of this one since it's a signed limited edition print given to me for a birthday by my parents.
22
A quick picture of Heathrow Airport from my gate, waiting to fly to Oklahoma to see Owen_In_Boots
23
Owen_In_Boots and me on her birthday!
24
At Owen_In_Boot's Gram's house for her birthday dinner. This candle that she's holding plays happy birthday :D
25
Watching Monday Night RAW at oldschoolgoth's house.

We visited Tulsa zoo today and saw, amongst other things, the lions
28
The pile of goodies waiting for me when I arrived in Tulsa. I loooove Nerds!
29
We met up with some of Owen_In_Boot's friends to visit Psycho Path on the night before Halloween. It was pretty awesome, although we had to wait in line for hours.

Halloween was awesome!
