The general update... Cub style... (the Cubdate, I spose)

Happy J22 everyone... not much happening on the boards you say!? Well think again!

First of all let me say what a pleasure it is to have Malloy back again and posting. No doubt he is going to be a bad boy and nick off somewhere again and we will be chasing after him for a few weeks... in which case I might have to find you and kill you myself! That said, what I mentioned in the other thread should be put into practice: a contact detail exchange, probably to only a few members (to hold contacts) so that we may find a way of getting in touch with folks should they disappear for a while. Speaking of which Fred... how are holiday plans going for that mammoth time off!?

Also in the news the GOG revisions of the Tex Murphy games are phenomenal! I've been waiting for a few days for some $$$ to transfer into my Debit account so that I may buy these bad boys and re-live the good times. It's really good to see the community a buzz again with this news. That's probably why some of you have been preoccupied!

Three Cards to Midnight was able to whip up a storm as well, and while I have been viciously inactive on the TCM boards, I have played the game. As I have already told Jen, it's a good game, but not my cup of tea... but it's definitely a positive step for the old Access gurus and its appeal has been positive, as well as its future ramifications for Big Finish games.

Lestat's new house and pics are awesome to see. It's a great place you have there mate... I think you have more rooms in that place than you have names to call them all!

Overseer AMC's Tex inspired detective short film was a great laugh... for people who have not yet seen it, check it out here: http://www.unofficialtexmurphy.com/mess ... f=1&t=2402 ...I am surprised more people have not shown their support for this video. It's shows a lot of creativity and determination, and I want more!!! So what say you Bill?

Jen, where have you been girl? Maybe I should be chasing up your contact details, caus you seem to have really slowed down in your posts! Would be great to have your input again. You too Jim! I am putting at least 4,000 more posts on your bucket list!

Morten!? You all psyched for your wedding in August? It was really cool reading up on your bachelor party surprise... but so early means you can probably have a few more!!! haha. Although I am sure you could do without more paintball bruises. Maybe try shooting targets this time that are not breathing. lol.

So you see, there is a lot happening on the boards lately, and it's great to get updated from everyone with what's going on in their universe!


And from the Cubster's universe

While it may be disappointing I have not pulled another Cub in some time now, I have been rolling with the ups and downs...

Firstly, I am living back at home. It was a short lived experience at my apartment, but all good things come to an end. While it is rather un-inspiring being back at home, the time apart helped strengthen the relationship with my folks.

I have finally been inspired to finish off my album. Zwah!? Album you say? Well I have been working on a music album for the past couple of months, but I plan on having that finished before the end of the year. You guys will be the first to hear the trax and provide your opinions and feedback. As for what style it is in... try mixing orchestral score and motifs with a bit of Ben Folds funk and jive and you have my genre right there.


And for the biggest news of all:

For the past few weeks I have been dating my high school crush!

Back in high school (7 years ago! Damn... has it been that long!) I used to know this girl, Mel. I remember her becuase I had to pick my jaw back off the floor every time she walked by. She was cool, wild, and insanely gorgeous. As for me, I was not a geek or anything like that (much), but definitely not a part of the cool and popular gang so while we would talk I remained the gentleman and maintained our acquaintance becuase she was, after all, a really great person to get along with... but beyond that a relationship was only ever a pipe dream, at least in my opinion.

Anyway, after high school I never really saw her again, until a couple of months ago when we tracked each other down on Facebook (oh god how I love facebook!). She still looked as good as she did back in school, and I of course developed into a much more confident person (she probably saw some of my facebook photo albums, hehe). She sent me a message asking if I remembered her... I had to think for a bit if I did (haha, not!). Anyway she said it would be cool if we got together and catch up, so we went for coffee. After chatting for a while we really started to hit it off. We spoke about the high school days, and then she asked me something that made me want to kick myself: "How come you never asked me out in high school?"... after bashing my head against the wall for about 5 minutes we soon realised that this time were were going to be more than just acquaintances. the rest, as they say, is history.

So there you have it, good things come to those who wait. I only hope I don't screw this one up, haha!

Well, that's your world, my world, life, the universe and everything!

Over and out.

-Cub. =o)
