Well, its that time of year again, when I ramble a bit about my mental state, and announce any changes to update schedule.
To start with the first one, there’s been some bumps, but I continue to be in a largely good place. Geopolitics makes me avoid the news at the moment, but I’ve felt good enough to start addressing bigger personal issues. I have changed my meds and I am currently reducing the frequency of my counselling sessions, feeling steady with both, and that’s good. Its continuing the trend of last year. I recently received the happy news that I would soon be someone’s (mad) uncle, so this made me think about careers and life in general. I'm trying more seriously to address the job situation and socialising, although I must admit a certain degree of flapping-about-aimlessly about both. I don’t know what I want. I’m trying to figure that out. And I’m trying not to get too angry with myself for not having done that already. My tastes and hobbies meanwhile have seen some substantial shifts. Project Chemdogs was a total success, which has actually got me playing 40K again. Its been a great creative thing, and its got me out of the house. One issue that has occurred with that however is how a new Astra Militarum codex is set for release early next year, and I’ve wanted to keep expanding my army. A new ruleset largely guarantees that something will be made obsolete, so I’m best off pausing until I know more. And from what I’m hearing, it might well be February before the new book is “live” for competitive play. I haven’t totally stopped, as you may have noticed, but I hope to do so in December. Come the new year, I plan to pick it up again with a modernisation/expansion, currently named “Project Draft-dodger”. My interests in Transformers has ebbed by comparison, which is odd as we had a rather good film this year. I’m not sure if that’s natural variation, the ageing process, or the brand itself. I’ve done plenty of Transformers posts this year, its just I’m not feeling it in the winter…. So we’ll see about that. I’ve also seen a declining interest in Orks and BeastBox, but I think that’s less concerning. I’ve taken those quite far, as is.
As for the blog? Well, I do like the structure it provides, and the creative output it allows. I’m not quite writing enough to sustain two posts a week, but I’m running a month ahead currently. Once Project Draft-dodger gets going, I may go twice weekly again, but its hard to say. You will notice some variation of subject matter as I’ve tried to ease off on the armydudesmen, but hopefully that’s of interest for people. There will however be the usual chrimbo holiday. To summarise:
Sunday updates to cease on December 15th.
There will be a New Years Special on January 1st.
Normal Sunday posting resumes January 5th.
See you soon.
