Little to report

I've not forgotten about this place, but have been rather short of things to write about. A quick summary:

• work is carrying on in much the same vein as ever. I'm in the third year of working on this project now.
• I've been enjoying getting out in the spring weather while it's been pleasant, though I will welcome the summer proper.
• band stuff is ticking over smoothly, although songwriting has slowed down (since I figure the existing 100 minutes of material is more than we need right now anyway).
• I'm setting up a new blog for computer game development related posting, which I'm often wary of posting here as few will find it all that interesting. I'll post the URL and syndicated feed link here when it's ready.
• I forgot to learn any German for a few weeks, but will take that back up shortly since Wacken is only 3 months away. Eek! And I still don't know how I'm getting there, or what I'm doing with my 2nd ticket.
• I'm contemplating moving house this summer as I need more space than this studio apartment can offer.
• I'm playing Deus Ex (the original) on the PC and quite enjoying it, despite the heavy-handed "I R MORAL-AMBIGUOUS CHARACTR. THIS R MORAL-AMBIGUOUS GAEM" aspect. I like that sort of thing, as it makes you think, but the quality of the delivery is key.
• Becky and I saw a guy in the town square at lunch time who was in full costume: horned helmet, horned shoulder pads, and other assorted bits of silver armour and furs. This was made doubly impressive by it being quite hot outside anyway. He was taking pictures of the town square's ferris wheel on his digital camera as if thinking to himself, "well, you don't see many of those back home in Azeroth".

Plans for the near future tentatively include, but are not necessarily limited to:

• pub after work tomorrow
• Cheryl's birthday thing on Friday
• Therapy? at Therapy! on Saturday?! (monthly metal night with 90s rockers DJing, apparently.)
• hopefully roping people into another pleasant pub lunch or two
• not much else.
