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!)

I am still alive. That is all.

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!

… I don’t update my journal!

Yes, I’ve not written anything for months, since really nothing notable has happened in that time. Been to a live roleplay event, finished the Ravenloft Campaign, started the Warhammer Campaign, chatted to people online, attended my new job regularly, overcome the infection of my gums.

Fairly full schedule of not much happening.

I called in ill for work - I didn’t get a bit of sleep all Friday and it was far to distracting. Well, I say called, I actually contacted my team manager by MSN. Joy of a technologically sound company.

Been taking painkillers and swilling my mouth out with antiseptic mouthwash all weekend but hasn’t got any better - I may have to do the calling in ill thing again, and see about harassing a dentist to sort the whole bally thing out for me.

We’ll see how I feel in the morning.
