Post 600: Thanks, and have some Bugs!

I've stared at a blank page trying to decide how to frame this not-so historical post.  After beating my head and countless rewrites, I'll just say this:

Thank you for reading, past, present or future.

Grey, white, and evil.

Thanks for comments, positive and negative - 'cause I read  and appreciate them all.  Regardless.



Thanks for following me around Strictly Average, Blood of Kittens, the Top X, and of course Bell of Lost Souls.

Thanks to Jawaballs, my muse.  (Sorry about your flowerbed - I'd fix it, but I had to run.  The sirens said so.)

Thanks to all the Bloggers, particularly those with whom I am close, such as Lauby, DT, Kirby, Synn, Goat, Darkwynn, Brian, BBF/GBF, Nick, and many more.

Thanks to the Warboss, who's always on bottom.

Thanks to Larry, for finally remembering who the hell I was, and giving me a chance to piss off a sizable percentage of his readers.

Big thanks to my local crew, for making me a better player, painter, and blogger.  I'm not unmindful about how much you guys put up with so I can do this.

Just, thanks.  Blogging is a big part of my hobby - and the hobby is my stress relief.  Honestly, it's not far from my mind... which is nice.  I love my job, but man is it stressful!  I can't take the kind of negative energy without an outlet of some kind.

So what can you expect from Strictly Average in the near future?

Bugs!  That's what!

I went through a period of hobby apathy over the last few weeks - right after Feast of Blades, in fact.  Not sure why, since that was a blast...

...but my inspiration left me.

I enjoy my Brotherhood, but I've got two full Hunters squads with 3-color minimum... that just seems not to get painted.  I'm stuck and needed something else.  I toyed with the idea of any number of projects - all of them I'll probably get on with in the future - but it was this last week that got me back on track with a pet project of mine.

We've been playing lots of City Fight lately, which is just a fun break from mainline 40K... and I finally found myself just playing for fun again.

I started breaking out nonsense lists like Dread Stomps and 1st and 10th's - and just playing.  I've now wracked up my longest losing streak...

(I don't count the game with Big Whit, Everybody's Brother From Another Mother; his dice just sucked.)

...and I don't care.

You've got to admit, that's a pretty good mindset to take into my Bugs! project, right?

I'm out.  I've got some Hybrids to finish!
