I'm going to Wales for a holiday.

So be good, all of you.

If you feel the necessity to hold a trial in my absence those of you who would consider yourselves my allies may merely rend their garments in lamentation. Woe! Fie! Rue! I will be COMPLETELY IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTACT.

I will be back with pics of a sort of elegant mud-hut in Wales, which I shall post, I expect, to the Perfect Afternoon Thread on my return.

And I may do some more totems.

MWAH!

O RLY? Why would I have taken a set of rotary nose-hair clippers to a hippy mud-hut commune?

Nice try, Stoats, but let's recap, shall we?

Brain in jar.

No nostrils.

Aha! But I remember you saying you were stealing them to order for a wealthy Bavarian beauty products collector.

You gave my life's work to The Bavarian?! ALAS! Unhappy fool, for us all you have secured naught but the bitterness of wintry perdition! He's never forgiven me for re-selling his foot balm as a novelty tile grouting.

Air-borne, whirling, acid-soaked miniature scimitars will seek us out in the dark to fillet our sinuses and worm their gruesome way into the living flesh of our very brains!!! Beauty products of mass destruction will claim us all!!! Ah, well, time for a glass of port.

To much work this week so couldn't post. On holiday from tomorrow, and in Cologne by Saturday so won't be able to post. I'll see you scamps at the arse end of next week. I will bring chocolate for the loyal minions.

Evil Sci expects at least another 10% of the world's governments to be under his sway by the time of his return, so everybody had better buckle under.

Enjoy Cologne. Say hello to Holger Czukay. (I have no idea if he still lives there.)

Look for Big Horn Sheep. They're neat. They hang out on glaciers and things.

I'm popping off for a week, maybe two, just to undo the damage teh interwebtubes are doing to my brain (and avoid using trendy netspeak words I learnt on BoingBoing in polite conversation). Honestly, I can barely spend fifteen minutes reading or writing without checking Barbelith or Facebook or Gmail or the billion or so sites littered over my Netvibes page.
Feel free to continue contributing to my thread here, I'll read it when I'm back, please get Claris Dancers banned if he isn't already and work on a better banning system, and listen to Strange House by The Horrors, She's Mature by Plastic Little and Contact by Silver Apples.

/me starts singing 'Daisy, Daisy' at an ever decreasing pitch.

I have a parcel to deliver TO MY SOUL BROTHER.... I've gone to find him and feed him Pringles and watch bad horror DVDs. Its a bit like rescue remedy but involves sealing yourself in a slobbish hermetically sealed world.

I forgot to say I was going, but I'm back, approximately. Did I miss anything good?

Well, I’m quitting Barbelith for the foreseeable future. I didn’t think this merited a thread of its own as I’ve not really been contributing much anyway, but I’d like to let people know. No big reason beyond the fact that I’ve been spending too much time here reading and not posting, getting wound up by arguments that I’m not involved in. I need to concentrate on my meatspace existence for a while and scrambling my password seems like the most effective way to keep myself away.
There’s so many great people here and I’m going to try and attend the occasional get together, and perhaps at some point in the future I’ll reregister, but for now I’ll just say that this is still in my opinion one of the best places on the internet, and keeping away is going to be like going cold turkey.
Love to you all,
Bizunth

Bizunth! I'd lost track that this was you!

Go well!!

Yeah, Biz, the board'll be sadder without you. Take good care.

I'm off for a week or so. In the mountains, there you feel free. I read much of the night, and go south in winter.

Shit, I just realise Bizunth's back as he leaves?

Fuck.

Look after yourself, dude.

Hello everybody! I'm BACK! Isn't that marvellous?

Arran sucked cos it rained all the time, so I will (eventually) post nice pictures of Arran when it hasn't sucked.

I don't know if I post enough to really take a leave of absence, but just as I'd managed to get through some of the Pile of Things To do and start thinking about starting a couple of threads in Books and joining in the discussions on the future of the board - I won't be able to for the moment.

My father is in hospital and it's looking quite serious. I'm not really sure if I want to process that on the board at present but suffice to say I won't be posting anything here for a little while. Hopefully I'll be able return in the near future when things are a little less uncertain. Take care.

Warg, sorry to hear that, Blake. Hope to see you back sooner rather than later... best wishes.

Right, well.

Been doing a large audit of the massive timesuck on my life that is t'internet, and am cutting down on massive portions of it. Sadly, Barbelith is one of the things that is getting mothballed. I've been posting here for about a year and a half (I think), and lurking since 2004. I've had a lot of fun, met a lot of cool people.

But But But. I've been in too many threads which petered out (maybe it's me?) and the super-active parts of the board (Temple etc) aren't really my cup of tea. I'm only checking in regularly now because I have a bookmarklet in my toolbar that I click in idle moments.

I'm not locking my ficsuit or anything like that, but it might be a while before I stick my head around the door to see if things are different.

Have a good weekend folks.
