Title: I was gone fishing
Post by: Gaijin de Moscu on July 22, 2011, 03:16:55 PM
Hi Guys,

I was looking at the bookmarks from my old life and saw Languish. Can't believe I haven't been here for years - my post count is zero again. The good memories all came back.

I have three excuses for my absence: Languish went secret for a while. I wrote 2 books. I changed 2 countries and had my third baby.

How have you all been?

Gaijin!

Good to see you :hug:

What's new and where are you at? And what are the books about?

Me, I'm married (to the girl in the painting you bought from me, as a matter of fact). I live in a house, still in Vancouver. Got a dog, but no kids. Working on writing as well, but I only have short stories out so far.

Gaijin, good to hear from you. :cheers:

Sounds like you've had plenty of reasons to be absent from this quite corner of the interwebs.

Hey Gaijin, by any chance does your wife have any friends that might be willing to correspond with a somewhat eccentric Southern Mormon?  You could maybe pitch it as English practice.  If they're willing to dress up as anime characters that would be very helpful, but not a dealbreaker if they aren't.

Hi Jacob! So I have the painting of your beautiful wife on my bookshelf! I love that painting, and have been treating it well through the years and through my travels.

I'll go read your stories. I have a few shorts too, but not too many...

I'm in Geneva again, made another circle.

For about 3 years, I believe. In my defense - I did make an attempt to rejoin, but was ignored.

Welcome back Quitter.

Most of us got Kids and/or married and/or moved and/or changed job.

Ed Anger(Monkeybutt) did all those things, multiple times.

Anyway, I'll have to check out your books. About Aztecs, eh? Interesting.

Ah, Yamanashi-ken. I haven't been there, but looks like a nice place.

I'm launching the first novel in my Aztec series. Will see how it does.

We are all a few years older here, which has made little difference to the old men of the forum; but I think has changed the nature of the place  :huh:

Welcome back, GdM!

Nice web page, though your store doesn't seem to actually sell anything.  I like the layout.

Iromnically, I am also in the book business these days - part-owner of Military History Press. http://militaryhistorypress.com/

I take it you are flash-printing your book.  Good luck with that.  If you can find the right audience, that can really take off.

Welcome back! You're a good poster :cheers:

I went to Korea for two years to teach English, convinced Tim to come too, and returned to the US early this year. Now I'm looking at going to China or Korea again.

I've been teaching English in Korea for almost 2 years now.

This is Tim by the way, lots of us have changed our names over the years.
