Oh, Joe Hill's The Fireman is very good, by the way

 

Carrera Luna for my daughter main Xmas present - will be modding it with pink QR seat-clamp, top-cap, pedals, brake blocks and various fixings will be replaced with pink and if at all possible a clear bash-guard and a pink front ring

 

So I heard. Now I may have to buy an unsigned edition to actually read.

Blue Yeti USB microphone

 

Love Good Omens. I have read/lent it out so many times I need to buy a new copy as mine is completely worn out.

a few bits and bobs, all delivered to my wife's dad in the Munich area, where we'll be visiting just before xmas:

A whole lot of special effects makeup as an xmas present to the wife (some high end stuff as well... things are not cheap) - she has a new hobby, and I am all pro-hobby.


a set of F-spaced DiMarzio Titan's (after really wanting the Bareknuckle Juggernaughts, the pricing and the mission of paying for them from Namibia and shipping to Germany became a bit much) to replace the old (and rubbish) DiMarzio IBZ's in my Ibanez RG2570E.


A Line6 Amplifi FX100 - not the highest end device they have, but will do for those times where the provided backline at a gig is rubbish.

 

I loved American Gods, it was a fantastic read. I did not know that Pratchett and Gaiman wrote a book together, I may have to buy it.

 

Really enjoying American Gods so far (around 1/3 in).

And the rest arrived today:

 

that's meant to be a very good mic indeed.

Pairing it up with a Apple shuffle, its not easy to use bose quite confort with the shuffle in gym or skipping. I had a pair of these before and they were good.

 

Alright alright alright.

 

I'd love to hear your thoughts on these. I was looking at a set of them the other day, but could not quite sway myself to part with £400 for all four corners.

 

I highly recommend you do, especial if you enjoy either of the authors other works.

A good way to describe one progress.

 

Getting them fitted on Saturday, they're supposed to be the bee's knees.
Any view I give will be slanted as they're replacing old old Yoko's which are slicker than snot, an old skool steel tyre would feel better

 

You a Ramsey Campbell fan? He's one of my favourite Horror Writers at the moment, and I do like myself some Horror. His style echos older writers like Lovecraft and Blackwood and that's why I love him. His novels tend to be slow burners but incredibly atmospheric.

 

American Gods is great, though I must admitting to REALLY enjoying Anansi Boys a bit more.
My favourite bit of Gaiman is probably somewhere in his collection of short stories.

 

Campbell is great. I have read only short(er) stories by him so far but now that I have quite a few of his novels I will definitely get startetd.

Lovecraft is, as you may have guessed from my signature, one of my favourite writers. The Blackwell stories I read so far where fun but did not blow me away.

In The View from the Cheap Seats? I have the signed edition so I am reluctant to read it, but might just grab a cheap-ish paperback soon.

 

A Shield K1, bringing me up to 4 tablets for some reason

Expect at least two in FS in the near future.
