They should send their excess vowels to eastern europe

I returned from The Netherlands yesterday. Fun was had.

First, I got myself an insane haircut.

Then, I saw Sirenia (and also Tiamat, Pain, and Theatre of Tragedy). I sure do hope they come to England soon; it's difficult having to fly to the continent just to fulfill my obsession. Yes, I was in the front row.

It was also very nice of the Dutch to name a bridge after me.

Note to all: the people in customs are very suspicious when you're carrying 5kg of boxes of hagelslag from the Netherlands.

As I did last week, I'll give you all something to read and think about: The War Prayer by Mark Twain. Maksim Orlovich introduced this one to me and it's an exceptional work. Furthermore, I should point out that Mark Twain is one of the greatest masters of the English Language, and this story demonstrates that finely.
