Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it that lame fuck superman?No, no and hell no. Is it the second coming of Christ? That is entirely a matter of opinion. Is it Carmen Sandiego? No! It's The Damo!

Cue the dranatic music and take your sanity pills. This isn't a figment of your imagination. Unless of course you are Mike, in which case this is a figment of your imagination but so is the entirity of the Napoleonic era. Sorry to break that too you. I know that a lot of people who used to read this blog will not return or ever see this message as it has been practically a millenia since I last updated. Tough shit. It's not here for you, it's here for me. Oh and all the e-mails telling me to update just made me not update for even longer. You know who you are. So, what have I been doing? Well, as I'm sure you are all aware I briefly became undisputed monarch of the universe and launched a full on campaign against the menace of the Chavinthian Empire who escaped from the Blingin dimension to lay siege to our own using their fearsome forces or Roohoney and ropping. My campaign was a success and I take this oppertunity to remind all that what I best is mine and I shall claim my tribute. Unfortunately I was forced to step down from this prestigious position as ruler as too many good computer games are out at the moment I don't have the time to rule all of creation. Ahh well.

Vicki and I are comfortable and very happy in our new home. It's the perfect space for us and we don't miss having the larger place we used to have at all. Of course the fact that this one comes with all the mod' con's is somewhat influencial in that decision. At least for me. Not sure Vicki cares either way. Living in the centre of town is somewhat lethal though as we now have a habit of going shopping whenever the dreaded onset of boredom occurs. Thankfully this is not often at the moment as we are both spending so much time at work that the other staff members are having difficulty finding time periods when we are not at work. But it's not our fault that they don't understand simple quasi-dimentional physics and aportation within the third and fourth dimensions now is it? Personally I blaim the schools. Oh and rhebus monkeys. Those things are very suspcious. Being at work so often isn't all bad as it means we will both have plenty of cash in the new year. That is obviously beneficial as we are both absolutely skint at the moment due to the acquiring of Christmas presents. I have to say it doesn't feel like Christmas to me yet despite the face we have both trees up and some decorations. This is probably due to the fact that we are at work with such alarming frequency though and very little to do with anything else. Perhaps it's because we don't have children. But then again we do have a child of sorts, we have our Wii. Oh yes, that's right we captured one of the elusive critters in the month of October (the day before my birthday in fact) and proclaimed it a present from eachother to eachother. It was a very good move indeed, especially considering the difficulty some people are having getting hold of one. We both really wanted it and are immensely glad we got it. On days when we are not at work it is nearly always used at least for a little and it has so many features that we are drawn to it over and over, even when we have no new games. The new year iks something we are both looking forward to, as some truly awesome games will be released in the form of the new mario kart installment and Smash Bro's Brawl. The Wii was the console for us and we think ourselves lucky to be so financial stable that we can pick something like that up as an impulse buy and not be phased. Christmas will no doubt bring new goodies for our Wii Baby and we look forward to them all.

Life on the whole is pretty damn good at the moment. I'm loved and entertained thoroughly and I've been finally working my way through the VtM Dark Ages Clan novels, which I have been meaning to do for ages. I have to say I'm not dissapointed and there are some very entertaining and in some cases downright excellent stories there. The only one I have struggled with so far is the Ravnos one and I can think of no reason why other than my total lack of Empathy with the lead character. I will revisit it though and see where I can get with it. Card games have been big on my mind at the moment and Vicki has learnt to play so I have a more staple opponent than the usual crop (who all get sick of losing, Mwahahahahahaaa... Erm.. I mean, highly skilled opponents...). She picks up the rules and intricacies quickly and enthusiastically even though I know she is doing it for me and not for her own enjoyment. Although she does profess some enjoyment which is good for me. I'm grateful to her for it. Speaking of Vicki I have managed to amass a decent pile of presents for her under the tree which I am quite pleased with. I would love to acquire more for her, but money only goes so far and she is already complaining that I've gone too far and that she cannot compete. It's not a competition of course, but she is very competitive and will feel bad if there's too much of a disparity. If you couple this with the fact that I am banned from opening my mouth on the subject at work on pain of death (the women get pissed off when they compare their lame ass gifts given to them by their husbands to what I'm getting for her) means I'm just about done. Shame really, but I will have plenty of other oppertunities. I have no idea what anyone has got me this year, which is nice. Normally I can predict with sickeningly uncanny accuracy what each person is going to buy me (except Joff.. He's a bit of a wild card and potentially stranger than me, which means that logic my usual thinking processes cannot get a good predictor)which more or less sucks all the fun out of it. What's different this year is that there is just sooooo much stuff out that I want, I was able to give people a huge list to choose from. Really, the quality of entertainment all round at the moment is fantastic. That and being with Vicki has of course changed some of my more dire personality traits into being more fun loving. I honestly just haven't tried to think what anyone has got me. The rest of my own shopping is done, except for Taff's present. No idea what to get him. Answers on an e-mail please.

I think that's enough for now. I'll write again soon though, you have to ease back into these things after all. But to celebrate my posting of something (dunno what's wrong with the picture at the top by the way, will fix that ASACBB) there's a link below for you. Adults only please.
