My apologies for not being around lately, but I fear that I am going to be away for a much longer time. As some of you have been aware on some level or other, my computer has been on it's way to a slow, bug-ridden death for some time now. A week ago my computer hacked it's final cough and now is in computer heaven.

I've recently found my way to gainful employment again (after a couple weeks of unemployment) and when I get back on my feet financially, I'll be looking into buying a new computer. However, this isn't, by far, one of my first priorities, and it may be some time yet.

If anyone misses me, snail mail will be gratefully accepted and replied to. I will be giving my address to one Rinya (who likely has all of our addresses in her hoard of information anyhow!) and you can inquire of it there.

Right now I'm in the Butman-Fish Library (I don't know wether to feel more sorry for Butman or Fish. Poor guys had to have had it bad in grade school) of which I have no library card for and I carefully snuck past the attendant (not so much carefully. I ran into her desk when trying not to make eye contact.) so I better get going before she remembers how to get off her chair.

I'm tempted to make this all sobby and add something for all my special somebodies, but god dammit, you all know I love you.

Talk to you soon,
Mitch

Let's flood his house with fanmail! ^_^


I'll miss our discussions of snakes on a plane, Mitch. Good times. Hope you're back sooner than later. We'll miss you!

When you get a new computer take a look at IBuyPower.com if you want a decent computer for a good price. You can modify all the specs to your preferences and get just what you want. I'm getting a new comp from them soon myself... I'll think about sending a snail mail sayin the same thing cuz it sounds like you wont be able to check the forums out at all for awhile...

Why are so few people posting here? This is a disaster with epic scaling! This is terrible!

Nobody can leave Illarion forever. Didn't you know the real purpose of this project was to create a platform that can brainwash people into using it ever and ever again, if they want or not?
Did you really believe a military university would produce something as profane as a game?

He will come back, it was not his wish to make the break. <-- hey, that rhymes!. it is because of a technical error. we miss him, but the thought that he will come back as soon as possible warms our hearts :wink:

((Das ist nicht gerade richtig :wink: . "Back" does not rhyme with "break". "Break" rhymes with "cake", actually. ))

Well, I suppose the only reason why I didn't post is because a) We know he'll be back, and is only prevented by those pesky RL ki-- issues, and b) I've already said my heartfelt goodbyes off-board =) .

I came by for a visit from faithful Butman-Fish again. =)

I remembered as I was driving away last time that I didn't leave the customary list of who I play, revealing all the mysteries and non-mysteries of who you know me as. I won't forget this time.

Misjbar, it's no disaster. Adano was right that they all come back. As I said to Martin once, "Elder Scrolls will have them for a couple weeks; we get them for life!" I miss you all, but it's probably good for me in the long run.

I'm getting a lot of reading done and getting out more, at the very least. In place of my computer gaming I blew the dust off of my old playstation and I'm re-experiencing Final Fantasy VII (I never noticed how many holes there are in the plot!). Even with the increased exposure to sunlight, I fear I'm as dreadfully pale as ever. =(

By the way, everyone! Read the Dune series of books by Frank Herbert. I've picked them all up for spare change at a local used book store and I've enjoyed them an incredible amount, and this comes from someone who doesn't normally enjoy science-fiction/fantasy stuff!

The guy two computers down from me is playing Runescape, by the way. =D

Anyhow, I'm picking up a sixer of Oberon and heading home (Oberon Ale just came in season again! Yummy!). I'll stop by the library at least every once in a while to keep up to date with all of you, but I still would appreciate snail mail. =)

Cheers,
Mitch PO (over the years)Skorzsche Brekenzade, Urii Vandos, Moskher Heszche, Raskhiri Heszhe, Slaischkas, Slasthulphus, Zhauvalea, Baron Orlo Maldoni, Slaistes, Taffi the Conjurer, Habblesham Guidenite, Iszeanna, dozens if not more NPC's, and some assorted other characters who's lives I cut short out of disinterest.

Oh! Dune! Wonderfull series! Did you read all 6?

Posted: Tue Apr 11, 2006 10:24 pm
by Aegohl
I just bought the third and fourth. I intend to get through all six by the end of the week. I've become a used bookstore junky. =)

Although I've heard they're awful, I'll probably pick up the three Dune books by F H's son, as well, if only because they're based on F H's notes. =)

Cheers,
Mitch

Snail mail equals a piece of paper (or something like it) folded inside an envelope penned with ink or pencil that one recieves in the mailbox outside their home.

Arf!

Not back yet. I've been job-hopping like crazy lately, but I've finally picked up some small amount of stability. Well, there is another new job I'm looking at, but that's the final one I'm hopping to...maybe. In any case, paychecks look to be a regular thing again for me. =D

I'm buying my computer in pieces, so I'll still be some time. I'll be back soon enough, though.

Aristeaus is a lovely wee lady for sending me a letter. It was very much appreciated and the reply should be on the way. Send more! Free prizes in every return mail. =D

Miss you all! Stamps are cheap!

-Mitch of the Aegohl

P.S. Jennifer dear, I know you've probably started ten letters and not sent one, so just finish one and put it in the mail, dear. =D

P.P.S. Maggers! Be good!

I will, I will. I promise!

I love you to pieces Mitch and I'm missing you like hell.
Please come back soon...

I am, at this moment, writing Aeggie a letter. If you have anything you want me to include from you, write it below and it will be sent in the next day or two. :)
