    I think its time for me to re-watch A Clockwork Orange again. What an amazing movie and I haven't seen it for a lot of years.

    Just finished another pile of work on my overdue Ph.D. thesis. I'm at the limits of the administration's mercy. Otherwise I'm just having a midnight snack and should probably go to sleep with all the tiredness but I'm feeling like procrastinating some. What about you?

    And a lot seems to have happen here at SP since my last visit. There's this about Project Eternity that I've missed altogether.

    I don't mean to tease anyone or anything but isn't it funny that when a person starts a sentence with "I don't mean to ..... " It is EXACTLY what they mean to do ;) ?

    Well, Nun, that's an honorary title by now, I have it because Tal's a good guy and won't take it away. For a long time (like some teens of months by now) the news has been carried over from RPG Watch, as Tal explained in the SP happenings. So it's definitely not like I'm the lookout any more. Long gone are the times I scouted the Internet daily to bring out the news for everybody. I did sort of well for a while until it ended miserably (twice), for which I'm sorry. I did fail you guys here. I still have posting rights in the news forum, so I could indeed from time to time see if there's anything postworthy that RPG Watch didn't post.

    Hey chev, I hope you're doing well! :D

    The Watch gets most of the stuff so it's largely just a matter of editing and moving the posts these days, luckily. I wouldn't really have the time to do much more than that.

    Darn, Tal, I didn't even know you still had editing work to do on those news items. I just assumed the parsers took care of everything. Only proves how much of a failure it became on my part in the end with the news. So here's a public apology to you and the members.

    It's no big deal, I just fix typos/grammar and various style/formatting issues. No apology necessary, you've been doing a great job with the news for years, can't really ask for more than that.

    I mean to tease, right now: Only if you're female. :p Manipulative creatures... :shake:

    Don't be too humble, Chev. I seriously doubt you screwed things up. (But who am I to judge that anyway...) Now come here for some sweet, tender loving! :p

    We have a government, hoorah!

    The odd thing is, that nobody is happy with it. The lefties, the rightties, dogmatic centralists, reli-nutters, republicans(SGP), Wilders, animal(istic) rights groups, Greece, you name it.

    Anybody else having elections?

    I'm glad to announce that if you point an American State on the map, I can name it. :) So, I'm like what..? A 4th grader now?

    And sometimes I wonder: If I would emigrate to the USA, which State would I prefer? (And don't say Washington or Colorado just because I'm A Dutchie)

    I can do that too. For example, I just pointed to the big state on the SW corner of the mainland, and decided to name it Yabrondoe. :p

    MoN - woot! for you, except that the states on the maps have their names on them, so all that you have indicated is that you have a reasonably rudimentary grasp of the English language and certain proper nouns, which we have been able to glean from your 11 years on the boards.

    Splunge - Yabrondoe is one over from the big one on the SW corner.
