Hi. Remember me?
Back again, after yet another long hiatus. I'm not going to promise to post more regularly this time, 'cause it always seems like life makes a liar out of me, for one reason or another. I kinda doubt anyone's reading this LJ any more, but if you are, how're you doing? :)
Well. What have I been up to lately? ( Cut to save your flists. )

Doing all right.
Not sure whether you saw my breakup with Stella last November; we're back together now, tentatively, and on slightly different terms (separate rooms, for starters). We'll be spending the two weeks in Denmark in June.
Next weekend, I'll be attending the fourth Language Creation Conference, in the Netherlands.
Working in Essen occasionally now (like this week), so I've been spending a bit of time in hotel rooms since mid-February. But the main bit of that is over and trips here will be less frequent. (And basically on my schedule; they don't need me to show my face but I find it a good idea.)
Not long ago I submitted a manuscript for a grammar of Ubykh to a publishing house in Germany, and they've accepted it! So very soon I'll have my first major Ubykh publication out too. Always nice to have a few things on the go.
That's good to hear.
Sorry to hear about the back, the relationship, and the floods.
How is poker?

Good to hear!

Yes, I did see the entries you put up around that time. It's good to hear you're both keen to work on things. Obviously the whole thing must have been catastrophic and it's not going to resolve without a lot of work, but I'm very glad to hear that's the way things are. I'm still wishing you much luck with it all. How are things going on that front? Has Amy been coping with the situation all right?

Oh yes? I've been seeing the adverts on conlangs. It sounds like a fun event! Have you heard anything about what the scale of it will be like? I hope you have a great time there. I can't make it, unfortunately, though on the upside I've decided to bite the bullet and attend this year's qep'a' in Reno.

She was, of course, crushed when we separated, but seems to have recovered.

I've heard the number "40-50", but I'm not sure whether that was for the past LCCs or this one - the past ones being in the States would, of course, alter the the group of people likely to come.
Time-wise, it'll be two days (http://conference.conlang.org/lcc4/schedule.php).
I hope you have a great time there.
Thanks!
I wasn't quite sure what to expect... and to be honest, still am not even though I have a schedule to read now :) A couple of the talks look interesting, certainly, but I'm not sure whether everything will be my cup of tea. But that's the nature of conferences, I suppose.

I wonder whether I'll ever make it to one :)
I remember my qepHom'a'mey were a mixed bunch: some were good ( ... )

I'm glad to hear that.

Absolutely. There's always the chance that the spin on it won't be really to your taste, but at any rate it sounds like it'll be an interesting social event if nothing else. Is there an overarching theme to the conference, or is it really a bit small to be having such structure?
I wonder whether I'll ever make it to one :)Well, there's already been one in Europe... why not another? :) Do you have plans to attend a qep'a' at some stage in the future ( ... )
