5:53 pm - A much happier note...

Asus is getting big!
I'm not saying he's getting fat or anything... just big. He's almost fully grown, I think.
Epox is coming up but she's always been a bit slow on the growing-department. But, she'll get there.

This last one does makes a few points about me.

10:17 am - Burn baby, burn... for tomorrow I will rise from the ashes
|
You are a PHOENIX in your soul and your
wings make a statement. Huge and born of flame,
they burn with light and power and rebirth.
Ashes fall from your wingtips. You are an
amazingly strong person. You survive, even
flourish in adversity and hardship. A firm
believer in the phrase, 'Whatever doesn't kill
you only makes you stronger,' you rarely fear
failure. You know that any mistake you make
will teach you more about yourself and allow
you to 'rise from the ashes' as a still greater
being. Because of this, you rarely make the
same mistake twice, and are not among the most
forgiving people. You're extremely powerful and
wise, and are capable of fierce pride, passion,
and anger. Perhaps you're this way because you
were forced to survive a rough childhood. Or
maybe you just have a strong grasp on reality
and know that life is tough and the world is
cruel, and it takes strength and independence
to survive it. And independence is your
strongest point - you may care for others, and
even depend on them...but when it comes right
down to it, the only one you need is yourself.
Thus you trust your own intuition, and rely on
a mind almost as brilliant as the fire of your
wings to guide you.You are eternal and because
you have a strong sense of who and what you
are, no one can control your heart or mind, or
even really influence your thinking. A symbol
of rebirth and renewal, you tend to be a very
spiritual person with a serious mind - never
acting immature and harboring a superior
disgust of those who do. Likewise, humanity's
stupidity and tendency to want others to solve
their problems for them frustrates you
endlessly. Though you can be stubborn,
outspoken, and haughty, I admire you greatly.

1:21 pm - On another note...
|
Yesterday evening I was contacted by the seller of the box I bought and after a quick transfer of money he's sent it.
With some luck, I might have it tomorrow but that's just me being an optimist. The reasonable part of me says that it will be here on either Monday or Tuesday next week.
Too bad... it would have been nice to read through the material this weekend so I can continue planning the campaign. Because of the situationen evolving to what it did, that I won the auction, I haven't been writing anymore on the actual setting and storyline. I want to see what I can use from the official setting first.
In the meantime I've brushed up on some of the main NPCs and stuff. But after two quite productive days that is getting a tad a bit boring.
I believe one should always vary your work eveyr now and then, when it comes these things, so there's little risk of becoming entirely sick of it and just throw it all the way. Been down that road before... done that misstake.

9:49 am - I can't remember last time it was this cold...
|
It's -15C outside and that's really cold, for being in southern Sweden.
I went jogging anyway and the thing that bothered me mostly wasn't that I lost touch with my toes halfway through or that the icy winds took a big bite at my body. No, the most annoying thing was that my nose kept running and, after a while, it also started to hurt.
I think I'll go back to bed now.

7:32 pm - Confirmation received
|
...at last. For some reason, the redirector I use to my "public" e-mail address delivers them awfully slow. I've e-mailed my host about it.
Now waiting for the seller to contact me, sent him in an e-mail just in case. Ghad... I hate this waiting.

I haven't received a confirmation-mail yet, which is a bit odd after all this time.
But if I haven't received any by the end of the day then they will hear from me.

12:27 pm - The Giovanni Chronicles
|
I was looking through my library of RPGs when I noticed the entire Giovanni Chronicles, all four books, that I've purchesed under different occasions(found the first book last actually, in a gamestore in Helsinki long after it went out of print) and I've never had a chance to either play it or ST it.
But, to be honest, I don't like it.
( A rant )

12:09 pm - It's neat, I agree, but it's not to my advantage
|
Lately I've seen a lot of ads, for vacancies in the IT-sector, that states they will rather have women applying since they have plenty of men working there already.
I find it a really nice thing that they encourage women like this... BUT I WANT A JOB TOO!!!
Something to add is that during my time in school I met some really gifted women that did better than most others. Except for me of course, I was the only one with straight A's(just being a bit playfully arrogant here). But there was a reason that, during group-based labs, I would rather work with the women.

8:41 am - Strange and messy dreams
|
Dreamt I fell in love in a deamonette(a rather attractive one, at that),
dreamt that I finally bought a kilt and wore it,
dreamt that I lived in a house on top of a small mountain,
dreamt that an old crush confessed her love for me
and then I dreamt that I was being tortured by another deamonette.

5:53 pm - Wohoo... guess what...
|
After pulling some strings(me, the evil plotter) I've managed to get a hold of handful of money that I can spend on the box of books I mentioned below.
As long as the auction doesn't get out of hand, that is.
Just to make sure, I'm going to sit until the last minute and snipe at it.

11:15 am - Interesting metaphor
|
The ears of the cats is probably their most sensitive area. To make any cat purr beyond what it normally does you stroke it along the sides of it's ears.
The ears of the cats is also the area where mother's bite to lecture their kittens whenever they do something wrong. Even I have nipped my cats' ears every now and then, I'll rather dab them on their nose but sometimes that's just not enough to make them understand.
The line between pleasure and pain is again so thin.

I've just found out that I'm part of the 60% best players for Battlefield 1942.
Wow... I didn't think I was that good.
My exact rank is 34 318.

12:16 pm - Fucking shit
|
The other day, when working on my "dark fantasy"-storyline, I told myself that I could really use a certain supplement right about now. The box is out-of-print and even when it was in print it was difficult to get a hold of.
Today, when I was browsing this swedish auction-site, what do I find? This very same box in mint-condition at a very fair prize(so far) with the auction ending on Wednesday morning.
And I have no money whatsoever.
Argh!
So far, my mind has gone through various ways to get a hold of enough money. I even lowered myself to the point where I could start selling other RPGs that I don't play anymore(like Shadowrun and Fading Suns) but there just isn't enough time to put them up anywhere and have them sold before then.

The name Benjamin is hebrew, I knew that, but what I didn't know is that it means "Son of the South".

10:23 am - Thud
|
Whenever I hear a loud thud from the kitchen, I get up to see what's happaned.
And guess what? There's not a kitten to be found anywhere.
Nope, no kitten here. They've both departed into the hall, bathroom or living room(passing by without me noticing).
