Yes, I am still here and alive and not posting to ZRN. You do realise this is mainly for my email address right? No changes since last year really - still with Heather, still in the wrong country to be with Heather!
If’n your here and your not a spambot then you know me in some capacity - hi! How’re you doing?
And a Happy New Things! Spare a thought for ol’ Zap as he sits at his computer, oncall for work for the next two days. It’s not so bad though, least I’m not actually in the office!
So, for all those working, alongside me on Christmas Day I say “Bah humbug!”
Well, thought I’d update y’all with how things are trucking in my half of the world. Especially since I’ve just activated mirroring over to LJ where a number of people I know do tend to lurk.
Winter so far has been wet, cold, and cheap. Yep, I’m not putting my head out the house, or spending any money that isn’t needed for bills or food. Okay, so this isn’t completely as fun-less as it sounds since my City of Heroes/Villains account is plenty active - latest character to the stable is “Bound Lich” (a hero, believe it or not!)
Otherwise, I am spending as much time with Heather as I can - relationships split up by oceans are not something I recommend seeking out 
Of course, if you find your perfect partner overseas, don’t let go!
Well, ’tis late - just finished a Task Force. Night!
Edit: Alas the video has been removed by YT and I can’t remember what it was. In its place I offer a little Bill Bailey (no not thatBill Bailey!)
Sorry about my perma-lack of updates but this ol’ journal is causing more hassle than it has been worth - I’ve just got around to disabling all forms of commentage though so at least it’ll be a bit less maintenance work!
Doesn’t really mean I’ll update it any more frequently though
Well, it finally happened - I visited the USA. It was a series of firsts. My first flight, my first trip to the US and my first taste of pure bliss. It’s been semi-public knowledge that I’ve been “dating” a beautiful lady in the States but up until last week I hadn’t met her beyond webcams and phonecalls.
Now, I have - I have spent a week around her and her family. Her name is Heather and she is perfection - my perfect woman and I love her absolutely. I can’t wait until I can get back into her arms again.
I am in love, and it feels great! (read the rest for some piccies!)
I am still alive. That is all.
Well, just finished Neil Gaiman’s Anansi Boys - a very good book indeed, much like anything I’ve read of Gaimans.
Hope he writes a follow-up of it - more West African mythology in books would be good.
Gah - for the last week the UK has been almost unbearable! I’ve had to escalate the war on heat from a fan to an air cooler. Still, at least I’m not melting!
In Warhammer news, the campaign moves on with our intrepid bunch having cleared out a nest of Goblins and now heading in pursuit of an evil cultist to a crater in the north.
Not much. Heat has fried the synapses!
Family Guy Season Five good.
Well, freshly bathed and refreshed after seven days straight at work I sit in front of my computer, delete my daily spam and turn to you gentle readers of my life. All none of you!
Still, nice to get my thoughts out in the open any-hoo. Such as the latest with The Enemy Within campaign. My Grave Robber-turned-Cat Burglar has finally earned his reputation by robbing a moderately wealthy merchants house. Net gain was almost 200 gold crowns, some gems and a couple of bits of jewellry. Had a little trouble with the Watch, but outran them fine!
And at work, myself and my colleague Steve have been working on a web tool. It’s not fancy, but its smart looking and will do the job a treat. Hoping our annual bonuses are in the bag for that!
Now, to ponder what to do on Monday and Tuesday… the cinema may be calling!
