Years in the Desert

Goodness me, after many years of roleplaying starvation after I left school, i now seem to be doing more and more and more!

Thats not to say this is all recent of course! Infact the first oasis (to labour the metaphor) sprang up from my job at Games Workshop, unsurprisingly I met quite a few like-minded people there heheh. Indeed two of them were customers and now very good friends, so thankyou hugely to Mark and Kevin for the ongoing roleplaying group, without which I would have gone mad for sure...lost to the monkeys probably, cursed things!
But I have recently been playing Star Wars Galaxies online, and found a great roleplaying community there, not interested in the usual hack and slash that goes on, they have developed a huge following from all over the world! It is a roleplaying experiance not to be missed and I highly recommend it. The links to this great group can be found up the top of the page in the links section.
Now lastly, my good old buddies from school have re-united the old roleplaying group, playing the game that staryed it all for us....Shadowrun! WOoooOOooo! how cool is that?!?!?! We have yet to actually do anything other than drink some beer and role up character or two, so same as normal then heheh .
This is great, now my week is full of roleplaying, I love it! Though my head is full of backgrounds and histories and beliefs and names, and temperaments and aims and goals for so many different characters now... but fear not, the monkeyman is still here!

See ya around...

Intrigue at work...

Well it seems as though the company is falling around my ears again! This is getting to be repetative to say the least!

My good friend Vince was made redundant last week. This week another engineer handed ini his notice, quickly followed by another! Now they are trying to get Vince to come back....what on earth is going on!

It seems as though I just bring doom apon companies wherever I go hehehehe.....sigh.... ahh well so be it!

isnt it amazing......

I had forgotten the delight of visiting the Natural History Museum, and allthough this excursion didnt make it much further in than the main foyer (I just love that diplodocus!)

However, we did see this amazing photographic exhibition called "Earth from the Air" by Yann Arthus-Bertrand

truely staggering! We spent a long time in the cold London afternoon making sure we didnt miss a single photograph...oh yes its outside!

Have a look at some of his work here: http://www.yannarthusbertrand.com

Yarr! I be makin' it very 'ard to unnerstand me now you scurvy filled swabs! YARR!

Now you take heed or Ill tweak ole Blue's beard and mark my words wiv a spot of black, pegleg or no you'll be a walking the plank so ya will!!!

YARR!
Well here we are or more precisely, here I am....

Another day, same old job, new web-toy, namely this here blogging stuff..... oooh its exciting isnt it?

Strangely its very cathartic to write this, even though it will almost certainly be comprised of utter gibberish. Even though I dare say almost no one will ever read it, oh I know those of you I email this link to in a few minutes will at least read this post, but I know its less than likely that you will be return visitors and you need not appologise! After all, who on earth is going to find this more than vaguely amusing after the first couple of posts.......?
Dont forget you can also catch up with my ramblings or my alter ego's ramblings here.

Wow look at that... its nearly time to go home! Woohoo!
I came across a quote that I quite like today though I must confess i forget by whom...
"I started out with nothing, and I have most of that left..."
