Haven’t really been writing too much. Mainly because so much has been happening and so little at the same time. It has been hectic at work and as I haven’t gotten around writing there, haven’t really gotten around writing at all.

Sorry, and J thanks for reminding me of that.

We had a very laid back midsummer, had a great walk(2 actually), enjoyed good food and got around some gaming. Gaming good. Otherwise we’ve been around. We were at a nice wedding lately, a family occasion and it sure was nice to see their happiness. This week we’ve been at the movies.

Mission Impossible was one of my favourite series as a kid and I even if I remember fairly little of it these movies leave me somewhat cold. It is not that they’d be bad, the III had great moments, good actors, nice lines, good locations, but for me it just didn’t make it. Don’t really know why. M liked it better than Alias, but for me it was the other way around. Alias good. Mi:III not quite as good. I guess I like to see more scheming, planning wit and ‘Human Intelligence’ when I watch agent stories. We all have our preferences, I’m though quite not certain about mine.

Tonight’s movie though was a completely different story. We’ve both grown up as X-Men fans and the movie was really good one. Of course the storylines are somewhat different in the movies but generally it seems to work. In this latest installment what they got spot on was Logan. Exactly has he should be. The man was well represented. Other nice things included the way they handled Jean in her… other variety. The way they had redesigned the story was brilliant and I really liked the visualisation.They handled Hank pretty well too, and I’ve always liked him a lot. I liked Kitty pretty well, but let’s say that there was some room for improvement in that corner. Callisto and gang…. rraur.

Baddies were good throughout the line. Magneto, his and Charlie’s background, Raven and… They even brought in one of the Marauders which was a welcome decision in my view.

Things they did less well on were there too. Take Rogue, I mean really, she wasn’t like that she got more spunk dammit and of course Storm fer Fuck’s sake. There werer good lines, nice FX, but Berry just didn’t deliver. No excuses anymore.

Anyways, it was S P L E N D I D and B R I L L I A N T

What about other things We’ve been to SCA Coronation, which worked. The event didn’t have a good hand dealt to it. I mean the autocrat sick, head cook really sick, location a school and so forth and so on. But it worked the modern school transformed amazingly well into a medieval hall (Got suspension of disbelief), The feeling was nice and I’m kinda hopefull about our new royalty. It is nice to see adults on the throne every once in the while.

I’ve been working for the SCA-office(Secondary Principal Herald) to a degree. It seems to work well as a “shared office”. We both are quite happy with the arrangement, I guess

I have projects
a) Learn to write: I’ve made a good start, but have to admit that it is still a long way to the actual skill. Fluent medievalish writing. This has one part to do with the SS-rule I live under, and no it is short for Societas Silvestris our heraldic mendicant order. The rule quite clearly states that those who are ignorant of letters shall not remain so, and I’m at least making an effort.
b) Learn to make clothing: I’ve hamstered cloth for variuous things and mabe one of these days it turns into clothing, maybe
c) Cut and thrust, Godo is almost done with the swords, I’ve found manuals and remain in (the view of those near to me) irritatingly excited about it, it is finally happening.

d) Number of other projects, that I’ll hopefully get to write more about in the future.

Outside SCA:
Tomorrow we leave to Turku, wedding game goes on A and S on sunday. Other things on sat. Main intrest for me, relaxing with the best wife in the world. Been more in contact with my family lately, there was the wedding, we’ve been seeing them and this week in addition to the normal contact Mum send me absolutely lovely nameday card and pressie. Hugs mum! Today there was also good news that little sister E with her pet seal L (Sorry, maybe the association relieves when it’s written out) is safe and sound back at home (I sighed with relief) as are Murre and his wifey. Luvely picks of them already and probably I get to hear a lot about it real soon.

Summer goodness, best wishes for all of you
