Finished yet another Horus Heresy book, Descent of Angels. I expected a tale of the legion's founding and its fall. I got the former. Half the book was about the knightly orders of Caliban on which the legion's traditions are based. A sixth or so is of the Emperor's visit and its transformation into a legion of the Astartes. the last third is a single planet's compliance. Huge quantities of talk with very little combat, and all set two centuries before the events of the Heresy.
I wasn't impressed.
Also, went trench coat hunting today. Won't be doing that again for a while. Dillards and Jos A. Bank gave me prices between $175 and $477 for what is essentially a calf-length cotton jacket. Jesus shit. Uncalled for. Example of a "cheap" coat. I don't get it. It's cotton and polyester. This should be a forty dollar jacket at most.

looking for a real style trench coat, check out army/navy stores or military surplus. there's one in newport. my cashmere coat set me back nearly 350, on clearance. this was about 6 years ago.
