Not bad, but I found this far more blasphemous, non-euclidian, eldritch, and cyclopean, not to mention antispherical.

ah, this is great. I don't think I could (to the extent of what "can" implies, that is to say, both the ability and mutual will to) date a member of the watch. the only female watcher that I find realistically compatible with me is the sheep and she is half a planet away. the lesser problem I reckon to be the distance

Tonight's date was a little shorter than usual (2.5 hours), however managed to discuss our plans for the London trip, talked about Finland's flora, plans for the weekend, Scottish kilts and extracts from various stories by Terry Pratchett, Lovecraft and SRD were read to each other. Puns and other forms of word play were also engaged in.

As long as she's going by the nom de géant "Frostheart", I wonder if you've yet made a dent in her cataphract, FP.

Hmmm, good point WF.

I'm just sayin ... Hue went from skeletal attributes to un-bear-ably cute faster than a Giant laugh.

"Mush-heart" or "Loveydoveyheart" would not celebrate the glory of an arctic dawn, the low-angled sunlight filtering through the curtain of pines and speckling the sparkling drifts with amber, the deep crunch of snow underfoot, the twinkling dance of crystals in the air, or the fire-pillar halo stretching far into the welkins... Pffth, southerners. Try sometimes cross-country skiing beneath a galaxy of silvery stars and the ghostly flicker of auroras.

PS. Fuzzpaws didn't have to dent the armor, he discovered the clasps and pawed it open.

Opposable thumbs (or a reasonable substitute) are really good for this purpose, as well as for undoing any laces binding up what lies beneath the armor.

Carry on. (I always do!)

Well tonight's date had a bit of a Harry Potter vibe to it, as Frosty had done some Potter Cosplay at Turku over the weekend, as well as visiting various historical attractions over the weekend. Then we discussed about Finnish fauna, especially winter adaptations that various creatures perform.

This then led us to discuss Cairn Cemetery Bears, a race of pygmy bear that make their homes among the various cairns etc dotted about the Finnish countryside. I then related about a similar type of bear that use to inhabit the various earthworks in the British Isles. Their only fault was when they saw people they would roll on their backs and people would tickle their tumulus.

Frosty has been reacquainting herself with Sutton Hoo, as we are hoping to see the exhibition in the British Museum on the 15th August.

Brief references were made to H.P.Lovecraft and Clark Ashton Smith as well as a brief diversion into string theory and quantum mechanics and 5-dimensional space.

The evening ended with us going through various Potter miscellanea.

Once again Frosty complained of aching jaw/cheeks, however, at least her ribs are intact this week

Don't you mean 11-dimensional space?

Yes indeed, but according to my theory, Cthulhu and a sundry of other Elder Gods manifest themselves only in five dimensions. Until proven elsewise, that is.

"That is not dead which can eternal lie,
And yet, with strange aeons,
Even Death may die."

Tonight's date had an Old English feel to it as Frosty informed me about Sutton Hoo and how it relates to the Vendel Age and about how various artifacts found in Sweden, Norway and Finland find their articulation in the ship burial at Sutton Hoo.

Some readings were done from the "Knights of Swords" and "Elric of Melnibone" Then some matters related to our trip to London at the weekend were discussed and the evening ended with Frosty reciting from "Beowulf"

What state poor Frosty will be on Sunday evening I hate to think, however, I feel that we will have an enjoyable weekend getting to know each other better

Ah, Elric.

Are you two STILL a couple?
Bah!
















(Ok, I kid. I'm glad for you both. I'm just trying to protect my cred as a grumpy old man)

Now how old is Cag compared to Frostheart Grueburn?

Fuzzpaws has forgotten to mention we recently received guests from higher dimensions fraught with sinisterness and blasphemy. They have since become best scheming pals.

Stitch and Celebi!
