Um, right, so... I don't know if anybody noticed, but the beginning of the year didn't happen.
And... I'm getting ready for an absurdly big move in a couple of months and I really don't know what life is going to be like on the other side of it? So it seems like probably a bad time to dive in and commit to Totally Getting This Going because I'm very likely to drop the ball again in somewhere around six weeks.
I don't know, this is
probably time to just call it and admit it's not going to happen, but given that "no idea" thing it possibly also makes sense, for my part at least, to wait and see how things
do go and... maybe later in the year if I find things have settled into a place where I have time to work on this, I will check in and see if people are still around? (Because I've never done
that before... *sigh* I'm sorry, everyone, really I am.)

Am I the only one who got a strong Earthdawn vibe from the Ukraine crisis?
And... no. I feel
so... I don't know. It feels ridiculous to think that a lot of my personal emotional investment in this situation is that it has this correlation to my favorite fantasy game? Like, "The US should be supporting Barsaive, darnit!" I know someone who actually grew up in Ukraine and has freaking family there, and I'm upset that they took the Bloodwood. But, like, really it's much more that there hasn't been an invasion of another country like this in... apparently since WWII? Definitely not in my lifetime. Honestly I'd kind of thought the world had outgrown this kind of nonsense. Like, I get that morality hasn't really changed and people are still often jerks, especially the kinds of people who get to be "in charge" like that, but just, like, our communications and economics and all that have gotten so entwined and this sort of behavior doesn't seem
feasible like it used to, does it?
I guess we'll see. So far I'm afraid it's looking pretty good for, "No, no, this is still totally a thing," but there's still hope.
