Well, it seems I best make a post on the ol’ ZRN Network to let you know that I am still alive and kicking.

Life has been good, despite a worry this month that I may have to seek new accomodations (my housemate lost their job, but has managed to get timely new employment!) so I’m all good on the home front.

On the relationship front myself and the beautiful Heather remain very much in love and things couldn’t be happier (apart from that ocean thing!)

On the tabletop roleplay front, the WHFRP has stopped for the most part even though the campaign remains unfinished since we can’t all seem to get into the same room at the same time. Mike has started a new 4E Forgotten Realms campaign that runs almost once a week so I’m sated on the tabletop front (L4 Elf Rogue right now).

On the Live Roleplay front, I’ve not been to a single event this year as I can’t come up with a good character concept to suck me back into the game. Mike has the same problem but we’re planning on the Big G so need a concept sharpish. Anyone out in LARP Land got ideas?

Other than that, yeah - still here!

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!

Can’t stop watching it!

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.
