.:Time for a revamp:.

Dear Constant Reader (are there any of you left by now??),

After all this time, I've just realised that I have not blogged for more than a year. Good grief. Where have I been? Truthfully, many things have happened. In what seems to be the blink of an eye (albeit one very long, drawn-out, super-extended.. err.. blink), I got married, went on a honeymoon, sent my wife back to Dublin (okay, only as far as KLIA...), moved to Standard & Poor's, picked up my wife from Dublin (okay, only as far as KLIA...), went to China, came back from China, sent my wife back to Dublin (okay, only as far as... wait... stop pointing the gun at me), joined a gym and tried (very hard) to play futsal last night.

I've also discovered how supremely unfit I actually am. It is hard enough trying to kick the bloody ball when you lack the basic eye-to-feet-to-teammate coordination (in my case it usually turns out to be eye-to-feet-to-grinning-opposition-at-the-expense-of-glaring-teammate coordination) and all the general trappings one would require to be a decent futsal player. It is pretty near impossible when you're trying to breathe through the equivalent of three blow's worth of snot stuck somewhere between your heaving, screaming lungs and that gob of meat between your watering, squinting eyes.

They must've invited me to play simply for the sheer comedic value. Yes, that must be it.

Anyway, Constant Reader, I'm back. Let's hope it's for good this time.
