too many good movies this year :)

books wise ive got to catch up with all my Star Wars novels (Legacy of the Force series especially) and lots of other trashy Fantasy books.

Ive taken up 40K again so lots of painting etc to do

and i may just decide that single life isnt that good anymore, but when  you have "friends" like i do single isnt boring ;)

How about a get together sometime in spring?
Most of you guys are in the UK I think so it would be wiser to meet there.

April?

We're here for you "virtually" ;)



Personally looking forward to Star Trek's release, Empire Total War and continuing on in the 3 MMO's I dabble in - big aim here is to find that perfect balance between the 3 and with my life as it is now.

Big one for the early summer - Glastonbury!!!!  And some longer term time away towards the end of the year. Turning 30 this year so a big trip shall be needed to get over it, India or Centra;/South America some where...



Rub, I'd be up for a meet - April's a cow of a month for me, may would be nicer :)  Also not necessarily in the Uk - Paris (Eurodisney ftw - yes I know!) / Amsterdam etc?

However unlikely it seems getting a job is the only thing I hope for...  :-\

meet would be cool, would depend of my cashflow by then though.
UK fine by me, NL even more cash friendly for me ofcourse  ;)
But I agree with Rub that UK might be best with >50% of HoJ living there I think?

While a meeting would be nice, I don't think I have time to travel this year that much. Except to Denmark and Germany where I will be wuith my family for two weeks in June (we've hired a house in southern Denmark, we'll spend time in Legoland and visit friends in Germany, possibly even visit to Lueneburger Heide). And then I might travel somewhere to avoid hosting my 40-year party   :-X

Well I did have something major to look forward to but that's now gone so like most folks now just looking at the smaller things like computer games, all those movies and so forth. But in the immediate future like Caradir I'd like to stop feeling so flipping ill. Maybe even get to play some WAR for the first time in about 3 weeks.

I is lookin forwardz 2:

Going to a search engine marketing conference for 3 days in London in Febs and having work pay for it.
Also seeing a former colleague there, so should be fun! If anyone needs some friendly real life wub or wants to squeeze my man breasts, let me know. ^_^

Otherwise, looking forward to an occasional game of Natural Selection and getting all my alien blasting skills back.
And finishing the apartment by destroying the loo and bathroom, merging them and sticking new units in.
