Hey all, apologies for the long silence but an awful lot has been going on with me personally and professionally over the last couple of months and I haven't really felt like talking to anyone, let alone posting on LJ. To be honest I'm still not keen to talk about anything that has happened in great detail and I apologise for being less then forthcoming with you all, Here's a quick precis of what has been going on with me for those of you want to know:
1. I did get made redundant
2. Despite being told this while I was in Vegas I did have a fabulous time there and I will post more about that when I can.
3. It was also really good to see
lastrega upon my return to the UK. Whatever she may say I did not get lost I just wanted her to really enjoy the english countryside.
4. The last few weeks at work were very bloody and I left at the end of November.
5. I have a new job with a firm in Fareham. Money is more tied to how much work I bring in but there is a good chance I will get partnership/equity in a couple of years providing the economy doesn't collapse entirely and we revert to some kind of feudal barter system.
6. I had to rehome Misty (Demon Horse) with a sanctuary as I could no longer afford to pay for his livery. Thankfully I did find a sanctuary who would take him. They seem very nice and I can visit him whenever I like.
7. I had a great time at the Starfury BSG Convention with
jhava. I think I may now be a little bit in love with Mark Sheppard.
8. Leverage, Merlin, and True Blood are my new shiny fandoms
9. I am quite intrigued by the choice of the new Doctor. He's young but an exceptionally good actor.
10. Other current fandoms are Bleach, Dr Who, Torchwood, NCIS, SGA (Vegas went a long way to redeeming the previous 4 episodes), CSI, Burn Notice, Dexter, The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Prison Break, Saiyuki, Weiss Kreuz, Gundam Wing, BSG, Lost, Boston Legal, House, Heroes, The Magnificent Seven, Robin of Sherwood, Oz, Veronica Mars, Moonlight, Viewfinder, Kizuna, Fullmetal Alchemist and a random selection of other anime.
11. Demons looks promising and I am eagerly anticipating Dollhouse
12. Peter is great in Sanctuary and the show itself is slowly growing on me.
13. The Ex and I had a very, very quiet Xmas and spent New Year with the Usual Suspects. Thank you to
lastrega,
pat_t,
bigtitch,
cruisedirector,
beeej and
kats_lair for the Xmas cards and to
beeej and
pat_t for the LJ gifts. All were much appreciated and I am sorry I've been so quiet about everything. I didn't really do Xmas this year.
13. I started the new job on 2nd Jan and while I can read LJ while at work I cannot post.
14. I am very glad to see the back of 2008.
I have been keeping up to date LJ and reading a lot of stories so at some point I will do some recs. I have also done a lot of uploads and a post of these will follow sometime today as well.
