Here comes 2022, and it’ll hopefully be a mild improvement even though the virus is still apparently fucking us over and we’ll be getting booster shots until everybody becomes anti-vaxxers and we all die or whatever.
And 2022’s roster of public holidays mostly fall on weekends again so there are basically no days off work. At least we get vacations over here in Finland, although by “over here in Finland” I mean “doesn’t look like we’re going to be allowed to travel anywhere without spending weeks in quarantine and that places global travel firmly back in the list of things only the monstrously wealthy elite get to do but maybe that’s okay because it’s really bad for the environment.”
And that doesn’t matter either because the poors can be denied air travel for the rest of time and the climate will still collapse because we (specifically big industrial governments, mega corporations, and the 0.0001%, but basically us too, all of us) suuu-uuuu-uu-uuuu-ck.
Fuck it. I made an updated Phases Plan to fix a couple of short story titles and stuff. And yes, instead of working on the last couple of books in Phase 2 I did suddenly realise something that was going to happen in Phase 5 and start obsessing over it. That’s how this fucking works.
Happy New Year. I know we’re still a couple of days out but I’m calling time of death on 2021 now and will just sit around watching TV for the next couple of days. You know, as well as working full time.

Happy New Year Hatboy! And to all the Hatstanders!
I’ve been away dealing with Life, the Universe and Everything, but it brings me emotional security to see a Phase Plan for your universe extending so far into the future. And you’ve beat the MCU phase plan in length, too! Here’s to a New Year!
Here they are! WordPress does it again!
Ha! I’d ask how, but that’s like asking a mystic for some sugar for your coffee. You end up with weird tea and a bad dream. Anyway, no regrets for spamming your blog with multiple comments!
It’s very good to see you again, and I don’t want to use up all of your online mojo. But I guess if you have a little left in your 2021 stash, you might as well use it in the next few hours!
It seems that my previous comment disappeared into the vastness of space and time, so here’s another try, though I’m pretty sure I wrote something more clever the first time around. Anyway, just wanted to pop in to say that in the midst of these Dark Ages, it brings me emotional comfort to see that your universe has a Phase Plan so far into the future. Also, hooray for beating the MCU in the number of planned phases!
I wish you and yours — muses and family — all the best for 2022. I miss our chats here and on the other social media where we used to hang. Hoping to dig my way out of the funk and reconnect soon.
Yes, lets forget this year.
I will promise to read your blogs more because they are good.
I wish you all a good 2022!
Aw, thanks Cassie. Everyone, this is Cassie from the old Usenet group.
Yes, I can not get to the old Usenet forums anymore. Is there a site online where you can search for them? Could not find one.
I use Google Groups, if you search for alt.fan.robert-jordan in Google you can find it.
Thanks. Found it
Cassie
And happy new year!
