I'm still sticking with O3 - the last exchange helps White quite a lot if, for example, Black tries to pincer. I suppose R3 is possible too, as it's less clear where to block now. Either way, I still stand by the lower right corner as the next most important area.

Bah! I wait for an easy move to chime in, and it's still just a 50-50 choice.
I guess I'd block on the outside. All the results end up with Black's thickness looking a bit boring, but blocking on the right makes it look really inefficient to me. I tried playing around with variations, but couldn't find anything more efficient.

I'll be happy to get a big corner. The black stones above seem too close, but I think there's no avoiding that (white 32 and then 34 seems really strong). I don't really want a wall facing either direction, I think.

If white resists, this variation might be bad because the black group above could be in trouble:

White plays an interesting move here, it's not easy to find (I don't think I'd have thought of it) but it's worth thinking about this position anyway.

I'll give people some more time before updating.

Any ideas?

I'd still play C14 :(

In retrospect, I see why the invasion was good timing.


EDIT:

Lol, I didn't notice that the joseki wasn't done. I would just connect.

So those who wanted to play in the top left had the right idea. This move is fairly unusual, but you can see why white played this way. White has the aji at K18 to help settle a group at the top, if necessary.

OK, let's keep going then. Next move anyone?

And do you prefer black or white here?

This is my move. I really can't tell who I favor. Both sides have a lot of stones that just feel awkward.
