So what have I been up to? Not a fantastic amount to be honest, but thing have certainly been happening (in other words, I&#8217;m not dead). I guess first of all I should announce that the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.darlosworld.co.uk\/2009\/09\/26\/learn-with-anna-auditions-open\/\">Learn With Anna<\/a> auditions closed and an auditionee has been selected for the narrator role. After a very tough choice from a wide range of styles I decided to choose Wushubabe, who saw the post on the Voice Acting Alliance website. Congrats Wushubabe, and I look forward to working with you.<\/p>\n<p>The bins! Oh yes the bins. Finally I&#8217;ve had my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.darlosworld.co.uk\/2009\/10\/10\/elected-as-anime-officer-and-the-cesspit\/\">bin emptied<\/a> by someone (not sure if it was the actual binmen or the contracted collectors), and so the mess outside my house is gone. However I think the strike is still going on, which is going to suck the big one come the time our bins fill up once again.<\/p>\n<p>And finally, I have taken up the Japanese martial art of Iaido. I went to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.luuiaido.co.uk\/\">Leeds University Iaido Club<\/a> give it a go session on Monday and really enjoyed it, so tonight I&#8217;m heading to my first proper session. Though I could give you a full insight into what Iaido is, I&#8217;ll just give you this quote from <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Iaid%C5%8D\">the Wikipedia article<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Iaid\u014d (\u5c45\u5408\u9053) is a Japanese martial art associated with the smooth, controlled movements of drawing the sword from its scabbard, striking or cutting an opponent, removing blood from the blade, and then replacing the sword in the scabbard.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p align=\"center\"><object width=\"425\" height=\"344\"><param name=\"movie\"
