Yes. I know it has been ages since I actually wrote here. This may be because it has been ages since I actually did anything worth writing of. However this has recently begun to change.
First off. Iffen ye be travelling through Kamloops in the near future, you may be wishful of avoiding the roads. On the basis of I am in the process of taking driving lessons and preparing for my test. Oh, and my definition of defense see-saws betwixt "The Best Defense Is A Good Offense", and "What Mean This Word Defense. CHARGE!!!!!". That and my speed control is yet to be the greatest, granting me a distinct tendency to swing wide when cornering. But enough of that.
Second. The Ice is now off the lake. This means Life is no longer a long pain, at least for a few more months. Bonus points for whoever can tell me where the start of that sentence comes from. My Kayak has been out on the lake a lot the past few days. It is a 14.3 foot Dagger Spectre, a touring boat. Not as shiny as a Snekja or Drakkar, or indeed any form of Herskip from one of the smaller Skuldelev's to the Oseberg and Gokstadts. Or some of the ones mentioned in the Saga's. But it does me fine, possibly as I be kinda lacking in a few score Norsemen to paddle such a shinier ship.
Third. It has been warm and sunny of late. Have been making many outdoorsy trips. Went Mountain Biking up the Louis Creek Road the other day. Appears to be a wolf feeding area. At least so I would guess from the multiple rib cages and the odd set of leg bones we saw. And also the copious quantities of fur, and the regular sightings of Ravens. I most vociferously DID NOT try to snap a butterfly out of the air when it flew in front of me, and have certainly NOT been reading and writing of Werewolves far to much. Honest. Trully. Really. And if you believe either of those statements, I would like to recruit you to found the Valhalla branch of Alcoholics Anonymous.
Fourth. On the topic of dead bits of dead things. Found an Antler lying about on a friends property a wee while ago. It is in the process of becoming a set of Futhark runestones. For, sorry Jen, but the paint is coming off the ones you gave me. Oh. And carved a Gadstalfir charm the other day, too. Jeraw Fehu. Ansuz Thurisas Tyr Birkana. Jeraw Thurisas Fehu. And no. I am not willing to provide a translation. Those who know the Futhark should be able to figure it out.
Bar that, not much has been happening. Beat the Orc campaign for Soulstorm, and the Necrontyr. And the Dark Eldar. The only one left to do is the Sisters Of Battle one. The Bolter Bitches already control Kaurava I, Kaurava II and Irridene. We just need to take III, IV, Nan Yanoi and Lacunae. And we are arming up for an attempt at Yanoi...
Oh. And I have been writing much Valkyrien. but you can see all that on http://www.jaredskald.blogspot.com/ as it goes up...
An update! Yey! Understand the runes, by the way. Sounds like you're settling a little better now... I do hope when I come over it'll be safe to drive, yes? ;)
ReplyDeleteits good to hear you are keeping your self busy, i love winter due to the fact everything looks better with a bit of snow on it ^_^.
ReplyDeleteon the dawn of war front it is a really good game got half way through chaos rising a fun game.
@Milady Redjay. Of course you get the Runes, your probably my better at Gadstalfir by now. And yes, it should be safe to drive by the time you show up. Should even be safe to drive with me.
ReplyDeleteAs for you, Master Learza, Winter isn't bad, but after a while the snow and ice gets a bit wearing. Especially when there's just enough that you can't do things like kayaking, but not enough to make things like Skiing and Snowshoeing viable. And yes, Dawn of War is fun. Not had a chance to try any of Dawn of War II yet. My old laptop wouldn't have ran it, and the only way in which my present laptop is equal to or better than my old one is that it is still in my possession. And not at a Car Boot Sale in Glasgow somewhere...
hehe i have had not much chance to play any PC games due to my power supply caving in on me a few months a go got a replacement but i cant use any of my graphics cards or it wont even start up.
ReplyDeletei agree with you there on the winter part it does get a bit tiresome after a while, i cant wait for skyrim to come out should be an awesome game to be honest.
You and me both, so far as Skyrim is concerned. Admittedly I'll either be needing a new PC of some sort, or a 360, afore I'll be able to play it, but hey. With any luck I'll have myself a job by then, and thus the option of doing such things.
