Tuesday – 16 January 2007
And so, the work week begins.

This morning’s fight with the road monkeys wasn’t bad. Traffic flowed pretty well. NPR’s Morning Edition kept me company. And, despite the onset of an inversion, it was a sunny day. Not at all bad for a “Monday.”

The weekend, on the whole, was good. I…

  • …had a good time at Clitorati. Jason (a coworker), his wife and one of their kids joined us. Hopefully, they’ll come back again.
  • …slept in Saturday morning and then met Perry for coffee.
  • …picked up this week’s four-color crack. I also picked up X-Wing and Y-Wing miniatures from the new Star Wars collectible game. The clerk even threw in four minifigs from the SW Miniatures game.
  • …looked at some furniture (and came to the realization that some people on commission sales don’t quite grok the concept of “Leave the potential customer alone…”)
  • …finally picked up Rush in Rio and Marvel Ultimate Alliance
  • …introduced to Rush, by way of the aforementioned RiR, and to the joy that is 24.
  • …played a few hours’ worth of Utlimate Alliance with Chris.
  • …patrolled Paragon City, cleaning up the criminal element.

…and just had an all-around good and restful weekend.

The High-Flying Adventures of Indigo Bolt –
While fighting crime in Paragon City yesterday, a funny thing happened…

I hit Security Level 50.

It was a good feeling when I went to Luminary, to train up to my new level and she said, “There is nothing more I can teach you.” That and the fact that I have now unlocked the epic archetypes: Peacebringer and Warshade. Next, I’ll create the character whose concept I’ve been pondering since I created Indi’s Hallowe’en costume (1, 2, 3): a Warshade whose human host is the hereditary champion of one of the Judges of Ma’at, adapted from Egyptian mythology and White Wolf’s Mummy: the Resurrection. I just have to determine which of the judges he will represent.

And with that… back to the work-a-day grind.

Namaste.
