Moving house this week so normal service will resume next week, touch wood that internet set-up goes smoothly etcetcetc.

In the meantime, stress!

Best of luck!

Today I feel like checking 1) if I still remember the password for this forum correctly and 2) if this forum is still alive.
1) yes - 2) no, except good ol' Boombox still writing a review once per decade or so...

It's been dead for about 5 years after being on life support for a couple before that. Even Goat has disappeared of late.

Haha, nice to know I'm missed! Been a busy few months but hopefully will still be able to fit the odd review in here and there... Until December, when I have a wedding and pt 1 of a honeymoon to endure... the Mexican coast and bottomless margaritas, how will I cope, etc! We're thinking of Iceland and the Northern Lights for pt 2 next year, which will obviously be my cue to blast Immortal and early Enslaved at my beloved!

Oh poor you. Hah, congrats on the upcoming fun!

Thank you!

Early snow Going to be a colder winter than usual...

It has been uncharacteristically warm here. We will have like each Winter season several days of deep freeze followed by some lesser cold temperatures. I do have to shovel a lot of snow though depending on how much we get and how long it lasts. And then, there is the sidewalks which is a very different story.

OJ dead, and Norm Macdonald not here to say anything about it? A travesty.

A ten-head ghoul.

If I may approximate: "Great news for OJ Simpson. He can finally rest easy now that his wife's killer is dead."

I borrowed that joke (from Twitter trending, for shame) and used it to make people laugh. Then watched all the old weekend update jokes about OJ that Norm had. Great stuff. My favorite: (After the verdict came in) Well it's official, murder is legal in the state of California.

Norm was one of the greats. His one-liner at the ESPYs was, for my money, the all time great OJ roast. "Hey, there's Charles Woodson. What a season he had! He became the first defensive player to win the Heisman Trophy. Congratulations, Charles. That is something that no one can ever take away from you...unless you kill your wife and a waiter. In which case, all bets are off."

Another classic line.

This close to giving up on MR but in a good, happy, I have enough things to be doing in my personal life kinda-way. Will probably write more at some point but my god, I'm not missing much...

Love you all, don't take this personally.
