Warhammer & Pigs

This afternoon we went to the Games Workshop Store here in Groningen to meet up with other gamers and to work on painting some of my owner's Eldar miniatures. We started with trimming off some excess metal bits. We didn't get to paint today, but we hope to start with painting on the next meeting.

I looked at some of the miniatures of one of the other gamers to see how we might paint our Eldar. I liked the purple ones the most and I think my owner did too.

We also bought a present for someone today.
It was packaged in purple and green and it had a small pig on it for decoration!

Because I loved the piggy so much I got these two extra piggies just for me, so I didn't have to vandalise the present ;-)

Bread, a Rabbit and a Book

We went into town today for lunch and I got a delicious bread with onions.

And my owner's OtherHalf got me a present: a rabbity friend.

After lunch we went bookshopping and I found a book with a hippo on it!

I had a fun afternoon.

Is It Summer Yet?

Still nothing much happening over here, but I'm reading up on Berlin because my owner told me we'll be going there this summer if all goes well.

A Spring Walk

Book Spam

Still nothing much happening over here, but I did get some books in my mail today. Angels' Flight is a book with four short stories about angels (Urban Fantasy angels, not real angels) and Distant Waves is a novel that features the Titanic, so I'm reading that one for my Titanic event on my other blog next month.

Reading up on the Titanic

Apart from playing Mass Effect 3 (a lot) I'm reading up on the Titanic. I'm planning 15 days of posts about the Titanic and such over on my review blog in April. The Titanic is a subject that's both fascinating and sad to study.

Stalking the Others in My Mail

Yes, I've been boring these last few days.
I'm totally addicted to Mass Effect 3.
It's amazing and I just can't stop playing it.

But there was awesome mail today that just might be able to tear me away from my game:

Jess Haines send me an Advanced Reader Copy of her next book 'Stalking the Others' and some signed cover flats as well!
Jess' books are really beautiful and cool: they got vampires, werewolves and other supernatural creatures and an amazing heroine who has to deal with all those creatures.

Thanks Jess!
