Okay, so that's my extended Spiritwalk down-time done, and it's back to whatever counts as "normal" these days. However, I've not been in a Minecraft frame of mind, lately, and I've actually been doing a whole bunch more Star Trek Online (such as all this evening, bar the usual Ultima Online). I'm not sure I'll be going back to the level of ( Read more... )

Huh. I really struggle to even consider blog posts right now. It hasn't helped that I've just had a week and a half of messed-up schedules, and that was all a bit more screwed-up than usual (yes, exams, I'm talking about YOU), due to some management issues. All in all, the whole exam period went by with absolute NO conflicts of personality OR ( Read more... )

Exams are all done (for me at least), and I can at least try to relax for a bit. A shopping/cinema trip tomorrow, in celebration of Spiritwalk (1). It may rain tomorrow, and I have a bit of a sore foot :(, but I shall try and make the most of that, and the subsequent extended weekend. Hooray!

Just hope X-Men - Days Of Future Past is worth the ( Read more... )

Done: watching over the exams!
Done: received my Rush ticket!
Not Done: Star Trek Online patching. It's "Legacy Of Romulus" Day, but I haven't had the chance to play yet. maybe before LOR-Day becomes LOR-Yesterday ( Read more... )

...there is NO news. This hasn't been much of weekend, with the outstanding exception of the Doctor Who finale - oh, and maybe the hot-off-the-presses news that STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS has opened very strongly in the States.

The only personal headline is that my second Minecraft video has just this day gone live!

So, maybe not such a bad "weekend ( Read more... )

The next batch of University exams is just over the horizon, and yes, I am putting the pre-Christmas debacle behind me, and keeping my employment options as open as I can. Thankfully, I have a nice easy schedule, which slides gracefully into the even more relaxed Spiritwalk "season". I have half a week off before returning to my regular work... ( Read more... )

Oooohkay. Seems like I have a tendancy for finding things to do on Thursdays, and I don't mean Ultima Online. In three week's time, I'm heading out of town again, 'cause I just got me a Rush ticket! It's kind of a Spiritwalk thing, but not an "all-in" arrangement - although I could go to dinner after...

Meanwhile... I'm waiting for Star Trek ( Read more... )

Following on from yesterday's small victory, I've been continuing with assembling a few more Minecraft videos - featuring material I'd just shifted onto a new 3TB desktop drive in the hope of freeing up more space. Oh well... at least the projects are coming together pretty satisfactorally ( Read more... )

WHY is it that whenever I take a day off, someone starts carving it up for "those little jobs" that should take five minutes, but take an hour? I gave up some of today to avoid just that. but oh nooooo, here comes "the chopper".

Looks like the only time I get uninterrupted "me" time is when I'm out of the house, in a freaking hotel.

COME ON. ( Read more... )
