Notes from the field

27th-Oct-2006 21:03 - Every morning my fists are back [bird, white]

Cold, wet, and windy. that is the kind of day I had

And to think that tommorow, there's a chance I might swing by BigMediaCo, in case the guy who'se been stealing my OT lately can't make it. I'll know it at 5AM tommorow morning. Good thing we get an hour.

Not much more to say except this quote from today's song of the day which fits my mood

Il n'est rien que je puisse oublier
Ni le goût de l'amer, ni le vent sucré
Il n'est pas de fardeau que je ne puisse jeter
Chaque soir, chaque matin renaissent mes deux poings.

As for my MtG pick, I've drawn CLOUDCHASER KESTREL, with the wind up to 90 km/h planned tommorow, it has a strange link.

17th-Jul-2006 07:15 - Frizzy hair alert [bird, blue, giant, meme, white]

It seems that even if I had planned to go outside to gather stuff in the 2 weeks (which I already decided against to "celebrate" in a way the Summer vacation), the weather would not have cooperated. It's so hot and humid these days that I will be happy just to remain in my AC-provided cocoon and gather stuff from the Net.

This is one of the reasons why I do not want to take my vacations at this as I would not be able to enjoy because of this hellish weather. Give me winter any time! At least, one can find relief from the outside temperature, if needs be.

With depleted resources in my department at BigMediaCo, I expect I will probably be doing more OT. Right now, I had to schedule one day with all the time I put in last week and the combination of random selection, the fact that we need to be at least half the department in and my low seniority has pushed the first available day more than 3 weeks away. And even then, it's not a given... sigh

It's been a long time since I did a Meme thingy, so here's one I have "stolen" from

(Click here to post your own answers for this meme.)

✓ I miss somebody right now.	✓ I don't watch much TV these days. (Summer time is not a good time for the telly)	✓ I own lots of books.
✓ I wear glasses or contact lenses.	× I love to play video games. (Does sports sims count?)	✓ I've tried marijuana. (Not my thing)
× I've watched porn movies.	× I have been the psycho-ex in a past relationship. (I hope not!!!)	✓ I believe honesty is usually the best policy.
✓ I curse sometimes.	✓ I have changed a lot mentally over the last year.	× I carry my knife/razor everywhere with me.

MtG-wise, something unexpected this way comes... The Fates (in the form of BigMediaCo's IT department) has declared the site which I used to draw my card to be verboten. There are some ways I can get around this, but expect more oddball selections from now on like JOTUN OWL KEEPER

5th-Jul-2006 07:18 - Blessing in disguise [bird, blue, soldier]

With all the violent thunderstorms the region has experienced in the past few days, I found a silver lining to help me go through it.

Since I wasn't interested in getting soaking wet just so I could (maybe) find something of interest in my data gatherings and since I didn't find anything of interest on the web (websites about Volunteering???, not my cup of tea), I decided instead to visit the Long-Eye library, where I could get the data equivalent of fast-food. That is bland, but filling fare.

Imagine my surprise when I found a D&D book I haven't read yet. Sure, it's a couple of years old but, as luck would have it, I never got to pick anything from the Forgotten Realms' Faith & Pantheons when it was released.

It might fill like a case of "too little, too late" since I have decided to move to my mundane sources but still I could not pass the occasion, rare as it is, to pick up a "new" book. After reading it last night, I already have an idea for what would constitute my penultimte pantheon (patterned from the main gods of Faérun) (Baine, Chauntea, Elistraee (after all, I already have info from her from other sources), Gond, Ilmater, Kelemvar, Kossuth, Lathandre, Lolth, Malar, Mystra, Oghmar, Shar, Shaundakul, Sylvanus, Talor, Tempus, Tyr, Umberlie).

This is not a definitive list and aside from one or two which I have already decided to add, there are no certainties I will retain all of these. Besides, if I remain with "Jack Meower", I don't think cats are polytheistic, anyway.

As for my MtG card-of-the-day, I have taken SKYWING AVEN. Not a good mix with god-worshipping cats...

30th-Jun-2006 20:19 - This post is Rated ARR [bird, blue]

A couple posts back, I filled one of those questionnaires trying to find what kind of swashbuckler I was. At the time, I was a little surprised to find out that I am closest to a pirate, but after yesterday, it started to make sense.

With the raging thunderstorms we've been experiencing this past week, I decided against visiting the bookstore and instead looked at some of the new websites added to the Yahoo! catalog and I came across a list of sites about a video game based on the upcoming "Pirates of the Caribbean" sequel. Much to my surprise, the BigMediaCo corporate firewall didn't block access to them, which i took to be a good sign.

So, even though I'm not a big video game fan, this has kind of fanned my interest in the movie itself. Compared to what perusing the same evil books, this was a welcome change.

For my MtG card, I've drawn SAGE OWL. I like the quote:

"The Owl asks but never answers"

Strangely fitting...
