Okay, so after I made my last journal entry (has it been six months already?) life got crazy; isn't that always the way? I got a new job in my new city and started dating a new girl in the new city and everything was new and insane and the internet kind of got pushed to the backburner. However, my visa only allows me to work for each employer for six months and only grants me another year on the visa if I do some farm(/mining)-related work for three months... so to cut a long story short: I'm crazy about this new girl and I'm not ready to leave Australia just yet, so yesterday I moved from the big city to a horse farm(*) 120km/2 hours by train away from my girlfriend and family.

What does that mean for dA? Well it means I've moved away from the gf's place, which has no internet access, and have moved into a spider-infested cabin on a huge-ass farm, which has wi-fi. I get about an hour or so online each day before I pass out from exhaustion(**) or spider-related terror. dA will get some of that time. Before I was just coming online once or twice a week to vote on TFP features and maybe get a brief critique in before life tore me away again. Now (I don't promise anything, look what happened last time) I can vote, read the 541 messages in my inbox, critique if my mind is awake enough, and get back to people who have sent messages. If all goes well and life doesn't explode again.

It seems pretty straight from here on though.






(*) I will tolerate neigh jockeying for attention with bad puns in response to that, hay. Or else that will be my reason for having such a long face.


(*)I'm pretty close to that stage right now so this might not make sense/have spelling errors. Forgive me.
