Tad Williams' Message Board

Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies -- 'God damn it, you've got to be kind.'
-    Kurt Vonnegut, 1922-2007

Welcome to the message board for tadwilliams.com. All comments are welcome, whether kudos or brickbats. However, please bear in mind that Tad would like this to be a friendly, civil message board, at least in the relations between users. We reserve the right to remove postings, or even ban postings, from anyone who crosses the boundary of reasonable taste. Basically, you can argue vigorously with someone, but watch your language, okay? We have a lot of young readers as well as grown-ups, so please show them some respect.

But the main requirement here is: have fun.

Re: QM - Bar de Doom

I has drugs. Found out, Publix gives certain antibiotics away, with a prescription, of course.

I will also soak my poor toe. My toe, it is angry.


Someday will find you.

Re: QM - Bar de Doom

I thought it was a bit chilly on the parade ground at 6:15 this morning. According to the bureau of meteorology it was -5.8c (21.5f).

Turns out I was right! It was a bit chilly!

Ugh. Too. Much. Running.

I feel like I've been put through a meat tenderiser. I sure am tender ;)

Re: QM - Bar de Doom

Go figure. That's exactly why I was in pain before the codine kicked in!

Warming up is a *good* idea. *sagenod*

Last night was fencing I assume?

Re: QM - Bar de Doom

Indeed. And the warming up consisted of some badminton (which I won), some rope skipping and some shoulder exercises with a stick. Which is not enough for my back and shoulders.

Re: QM - Bar de Doom

G'maen!

Been to a birthday party(3 girls turned 30) yesterday, and met a truckload of people i haven't met in ages, literally. i mostly got a very surprised look and "YOU?HERE?! that's so cool!" follwed by squishyhuggles as a welcome:)
am also hungover, because bf kept gin-tonics coming at me, which where, as he later told me, with double shots of gin(4 cl instead of 2). the last 2 years i've been pretty much avoiding alcohol(or rather just not running straight at it when i got the chance), so i was pretty funny after some time, i guess(i remember declaring that the 2 moons looked awfully pretty)

Re: QM - Bar de Doom

Re: QM - Bar de Doom

Time to turn off the computer and not turn it back on until I've finished writing question/answer card for Fertilizers. Stupid subject.

I'd dare say so. My rooms about 28 at the moment ^-^

It never ceaces to amaze me how many canberrans don't have adequate heating. For gods sake, it's canberra!

I'm pretty sure 'canberra' is aboriginal for 'cold as <adjective>'

OK, I know I said no internet until I'm done with Fertilizers, but I'm just about ready to beat my head against the desk from sheer boredom.
