So November is over, and so, it seems, is my altogether excessively long fieldwork season. That's just as well, because while there is something slightly exotic about doing archaeology in the snow with a headlamp, it's not exactly an ideal weather - although, amusingly, by far the most excruciatingly cold project is still the one in September, and ( Read more... )

University starts next week, and the end of my internship beckons. Right now, I'm halfway through what ought to be my last week of fieldwork this year, which started with a twelve-hour drive from Helsinki to our current location right on the outskirts of Lapland. One thing that I'm not going to miss once I'm back in school is spending entire days ( Read more... )

So, I ran Eternity: These Mortal Things a while back, with dry31 as the very deserving winner - and well, I suppose it's about time I wrote a proper retrospective on it ( Read more... )

Right, so Eternity: These Mortal Things is going to start in two days' time! Still time to join the fun, you magnificent bastards.

All the trailers are done, too! Now let's see if, by any chance, I can finish writing this seminar paper before it starts...

Well, it so happens I'm 24 now! It's a weird kind of number, and for the life of me, I can't think of anything clever to say about it. That's funny, in a way. It's not as if a great deal of things haven't happened in the last year, but at the same time, I don't feel substantially older at all.

Well now, February's over? Well, I'll be damned if I don't get at least one entry here a month ( Read more... )

So, I won Eternity: Rise From the Ashes. That's actually old news by now, I suppose, but the occasion (and the tournament, obviously!) deserve a proper retrospective.

I think I've been passing this off a bit so hot emotions get to cool off a bit, as well, because not everything I say will be nice. When I was writing about Wayward Dawn, I'm pretty ( Read more... )

Well, time flies. I think it's about time I actually post something here, too! What's happened in a month? Well, there was a Christmas vacation during which I played some weird video game about world-destroying mimes, university started, and, oh yeah, there was this tournament ( Read more... )

Today there was snowfall, and wind from the east, and so easily It feels to me like it's finally time to write something here again - after all, I've managed what, two months without a single update ( Read more... )
