Lots of rain these days - yesterday morning I had to jump over mini-rivers in order to reach my bus stop :P

It was nice when turning up the gamma helped, though it wasn't always the case. With some games, you'd crank it up to the max and it'd still be dark, as if it was mocking me. Could be one of the reasons I became a predominantly nocturnal gamer eventually. Sweet sunless nirvana.

I guess I should spend some time with Quake 1.06 soon, to refresh my memory. It's been a while since I made a real full playthrough. These Ogres aren't going to kill themselves, are they?

With Lacuna, I'm not exactly into their entire discography, there's just a selection a songs that I like. Fully agree about the Tarja era Nightwish - it was awesome. She seems to have some qualities of an opera singer and that works really nice. Sadly, I haven't heard the others you mentioned. Another thing I listen to quite a lot is Therion - I really like symphonic metal, it sounds EPIC!

Universities can often be weird environments in terms of communication among coworkers. I think I've told you how petty they can be about titles and how they should always be properly mentioned. God fobird you refer to a "Doctor of THE Sciences" as a "Doctor of Veterinary Medical Sciences". Horrible!!!

Fun trivia - in Australia, a toilet is known as a "dunny".
