By which I mean, sorry I've been so intermittant in updates of late. Real life has been busy and stressful and my energy is being drained enough I haven't been able to work on things here as much as I'd have liked. The way things are, it's likely I won't be back in the swing of things before New Year, but I'd be really grateful if you'd hang around and bear with my periodic silences in the meantime - I really appreciate that you take the time to read here. All of you. Thank you.
In other news, I have a half-formed ghost story in my mind, whose plot took another twist today and I think is rather good - if I can present it as well as it deserves. With Hallowe'en coming, I'm also motivated to finally write the essay I want to on how Hollywood zombies are actually vampires. I might get a draft done for the end of the month, or I might leave it so I can properly research it and give you the ghost story then. Hallowe'en/bonfire night - that time when the veil between worlds is thinnest - is one of my favourite times of the year, so I would like to mark it appropriately here.
I've been thinking a bit about what I'm going to use for easy posts once I've finished my Musical A-Z (two posts remaining, because X, Y and Z will be combined into one). Was talking with a friend recently about my great aunt and how much she's inspired me, and I think I'd like to talk about that, about my heroes. I hope it'll be of interest to other people!

Finally, the Blood Bowl World Cup is on its way, and I am taking Halflings. This takes a lot of the competitive pressure off - it'd be nice to win a game, but I have no expectations that I will and any victory (even if it's simply managing to score in a game) will feel huge. I'm really looking forward to it! A long weekend in Italy surrounded by geeks sounds ideal, especially as I'll be able to practice my French and hopefully pick up little bits of other languages.
Will be here to read when you are able :)
