absence
Another month-long gap since my last update. Hadn't been spending that much time online up to a fortnight ago. Doing increasing hours at work, and my aunt renewed my WoW subscription in return for taking care of her site, so any spare time I've had in the evenings has been lost to one of those. shunming pointed out a great reference to me though, which is allowing sync to make good progress despite my limited play time.
Even though I've taken longer breaks from the game before, t's slightly strange returning this time. Being back has allowed me to catch up with a few people that I'd gotten to know and spent time with last year, but mostly hadn't met in any other context.
Since nabnerd recently moved to the city with wyrdone_05, I've given up on trying to get Go running again in cobh. The remaining players either aren't interested enough, or like myself, can't commit to a regular meeting time. I really must make an effort to attend a few UCC meets...
Similarly with taekwondo. Got the okay to resume training after my last checkup, with the warning to start out slowly. As this would be hard if I returned to something that I'd gotten somewhere in previously, I figured it was as good an excuse as any to try something new. Tried getting a number for the centre in cobh, but will prob have to drop in to check training times. Tai chi is not going too badly though - managed to finish the short form from the video I taped at the last course. Not that I can run through it smoothly yet, just that I can remember how it's meant to be go.
tycondrius is still struggling to find his perfect career choice. tanaquill is due back in a few weeks as she'll be studying for and sitting some exams here this summer. quessir and creatorofsplab are talking about moving into town once ques is over his probation period in his new job. (Well, ques was talking about it - I haven't spoken to cos in months.) And kealan is off to mongolia (again) in the middle of summer.

Hmm, any brief note that I've sat down to write of late has turned into a multi-paragraph ramble...
