  • Nurgle in Blood Bowl 2020

    It’s a bit odd to refer to Blood Bowl 2020, as the rules only came out at the end of November and so I won’t even get to play a match in the 2020 version until some way into 2021, but that’s the name (or Blood Bowl Second Season, if you want to take Games […]

  • Blood Bowl – are you getting better or worse?

    It’s a bit tricky to figure this out, for lots of reasons that I’ll (maybe) go into at some point, but here’s my Fumbbl performance: 2020 Pre 2020 Win 108 21% 46 12% Draw 91 18% 58 15% Lose 305 61% 281 73% So although I ended the year with what felt like a terrible […]

  • Resolutions for 2021

    After looking at my last year’s performance, this year I’m thinking more about continuity and consistency. I didn’t do enough to track some of my resolutions last year, and I think being more focussed on that might pay dividends when we get to looking at the results in a year’s time. Some things I need […]

  • Resolutions for 2020 – results

    I made ten resolutions for 2020, back in a different reality, before covid hit. I started last year incapacitated with an ear infection, and honestly the year didn’t really get that much better before it got worse. On the other hand, I finished my MBA, we bought a car, we refinanced the house, saving more […]

  • Resolutions 2020 – January

    Not wonderful so far. I tried to find a banjo teacher, failed, haven’t been practicing. I haven’t got round to volunteering for anything. I was meaning to last weekend, Blood Bowl interfered, which is a lame excuse for not helping the community. Next weekend. I’ve read no books this year, unless you count the rulebook […]

  • Resolutions for 2020

    For 2020, I’d like to be kinder. I’d like to half-ass less things, and complete more. As it seemed that slightly less is more (10 resolutions in 2019 that got stuck to more than previous years) again, a reduced, focussed set seems necessary: Learn to play the banjo. Help the community in some way. Given […]

  • How did 2019 work out?

    Here are the 2019 resolutions. I read more than 24 books. I don’t think I read any of the serious books that I picked, but I did read a lot of books. A lot of them were books about Space Marines, but they were still books, dammit. (And I have two more I haven’t even […]

  • Independence Birthday

    My wife’s birthday falls on Independence Day, which is possibly more awkward now we’re in the US, or possibly less awkward because there’s a massive parade and a fireworks show. I wonder how many years it will take my children to realise I haven’t been throwing a massive party for their mother every time.

  • Resolutions – H1 Progress

    So I missed writing about my resolutions on the last day of June, but then I should have been concentrating on my daughter’s birthday anyway. So now, as the sun goes down in Seattle, it’s time to take stock of progress so far. Reading Well, one thing I’ve managed this year is to read a […]

  • Somebody else’s project

    This evening I went for a house inspection, or as we call them in the UK, a survey. I tried to buy a flat in England once and didn’t when the survey revealed it was in danger of falling down. I did buy a house where the survey didn’t reveal all the damp in it, […]
