Well as usual K2 was a relaxed affair with much Gaming and Drinking. This I believe is the first year ever that I had not gotten an RPG in ... 

There was Memoir 44, 18EU, Indonesia, Polaris(Magnet-Manual Dexterity Game), Poker (I finally won some money now only down120 Quid), Lots of Werewolf (without the Adjective), a pickup card/Board Game involving shooting Ducks and of course some drinking games invented by Fiki and Wookie (All fear Fizz, Buzz, Wazz, Langer, Waa) 

Other Games Played by People over the weekend included Die Macker?? A Game involving the German Election System, Game of Thrones, Citadels, Mag Blast, Magic:TG, Versus, 100 blank white cards and the World of Warcraft Board Game. 

K2 also Featured the Batman Movie (1960’s Series) Some Interesting Chats, Large Fry ups, Some wonderful Paste Bake and Some great Chile.

All in all a great weekend and many thanks to natural20 for organising it.

Just Reading about cancelling January on kauaioo's Lj.

I started to wonder what I would Do If I Lived on a Space Station and Could Aribtrally Decide these Kind of Things...

So to the World at Large what would you choose to Change and Why....

Decided to run down to Fibbers before it Closed to find out how Sillicon was going ran in to Many people including microgirl  and psysquid . Fibbers looks so different with out the ethernal Smog field. I forgot how long it takes to get a taxi on a saturday night in dublin, plus while we where waiting a Random fight broke out. The Gardai arrived within a minute and the Queue in front of us was shorter by two..

Sunday was  very Quite in comparison, arrived in Town for 12, got breakfast talked about movies, LOTR CCG and Comics, got to see multi-talented Syl make an rpg sale. Jumped on the three a clock Train back to tralee...

Found this Article on the BBC news web site.

SO "Mel or Monty?", "The Passion or the Python?"
I know which One I'd choose...

Again it's been a while since my last Blog entry.

Workwise the Project deadline has passed and still no end in sight.

Went to Fermoy for the weekend, my sisters 21st Fell on Mothers day so the extended family met up for a family dinner which my sister and mother put together... Go figure...

Passing through cork I dropped in to Other Realms and picked up some more of the Belisarius series and the latest book in the Honor Harrington series. Must put together a list of the books that I’m waiting for…

Started the Weekend upgrading my home computer to Win2K and inserting the DVD Reader I had purchased a few weeks ago...

8 long hours later having to Fdisk my hard drive and convincing my computer that yes all the Bios Cables where in fact connected Success.

So I'm now looking forward to going home and Playing NWN Shadows of the Undertide as a Paladin Called Dace Holenfor of Course.

Please Note for Those that Remember the Original Dace thats Paladin, not Thief, Pal-a-din...

Grr they where only Scout levels and Thief was the closest I could find to Noble Mutter..Mutter.

Also found a series of books like the Ash A Secret History book, Belarius I think I spelt that Wrong.. By Eric Flint and David Drake hence the in character Mutter..Mutter

Hmm I've been busy for the last month and probably will be for the next month so the Gen Con US plan seems to have fallen by the wayside...

Whereas I can type this entry up in a txt Document during spare moments and then dump it into an update. Actual concerted work is involved in organising a trip to the States. Still would like to go, still think that this would be my best chance to go, just too lazy/to busy to follow through...

Ah well, reposition nose to grindstone.
