From the shadows

... and then some...

This is the Information Technology Professional Week, so congratulations to all techies and systems administrators out there!

The weekend went too fast for comfort… leaving me completely out of energy and a bit sad. So much to do… But only 24 hours to try accomplishing anything…

Friday night went with Groundel to see Pathfinder. It was not that good, a nice rental choice for any gaming fan… Vikings were so-so… The native Americans were portrayed so-so… A cheap Apocalypto with a twist that is very lineal, predictable and more of the same, in my opinion…

Saturday… Got the goodies at the mailbox and delivered them to its owner. Went with the mage to get a bucket of paint, then to hunt for clothing and shoes… Got the shoes at San Germán after a whole afternoon of continual disappointments… The curse of 11w in the wrong side of the planet… Made it to church in time, missed Father ed as there was another person giving mass (seems someone in practice). Too tired after the long hunt, we went home.

Sunday… Got a call from Lightshadow but yesterday was a bad day for my cel… locations made signal completely unavailable… Geesh! If I’m not in my bedroom I have no signal at all in Anthill… how nice… Went with the mage to pickup Munchkin and to take her to the favorite toy store to find a jigsaw for her. Browsed the books section and found some I would like to get later on for our little mage. Browsed the cradles section, and I was quite disappointed at the selection… Went to the nearby furniture store to see they have no cradles at all. Gee… Whatever. I just want to get the cradle that I saw in San Germán, that has an old times feel and is space savvy. I’ll need a changer and an armoire, but well… Let’s see who can get that for us. We are too tight to actually think of much right now… Just small cradle and car seat as basics. Anyway… Arrived just in time to do the grocery shopping, and then home to rest a bit. Played Snow White while Munchkin tried putting together the jigsaw, and as nightfall arrived, went with the mage to deliver the girl and to get my clothing at auntie’s. Uncle arrived to deliver something, and his usual salute made my night… On the way home my being pissed took a 360 degree change after without realizing the effect I made a comment that send me straight down reminiscing lane… in a bad way. After a while, watched Mirror mask with the mage and off to bed…

Today… I really wanted to stay at home. I feel beyond tire, crappy and sad. I just wanna be in my bed, see no faces, and simply rest. But duty calls, as usual… And since I have a doc’s appointment on Wednesday I just couldn’t allow myself to take the day off. So… forced myself to get up, and drive to work… Eyes bother me, got a headache, and I’m not in a good mood… Happy happy joy joy… Life goes on. Groundel called to check on me since he was worried because I did not answer the phone yesterday… Again, no signal at Anthill… And to remind me to give the transcripts to his counselor at work. I almost forgot about that… Got three congrats because of IT week, all from people not from where my office is… and so far the day has been very VERY slow and uneventful. Just want it to be over so I head home, period.

Today is the last day that I'm using words
They've gone out, lost their meaning
Don't function anymore

Let's, let's, let's get unconscious honey
Let's get unconscious honey

Today is the last day that I'm using words
They've gone out, lost their meaning
Don't function anymore

Traveling, leaving logic and reason
Traveling, to the arms of unconsciousness
Traveling, leaving logic and reason
Traveling, to the arms of unconsciousness

Let's get unconscious honey
Let's get unconscious
Let's get unconscious honey
Let's get unconscious

Words are useless, especically sentences
They don't stand for anything
How could they explain how I feel

Traveling, traveling, I'm traveling
Traveling, traveling, leaving logic and reason
Traveling, traveling, I'm gonna relax
Traveling, traveling, in the arms of unconsciousness

Let's get unconscious honey
Let's get unconscious
Let's get unconscious honey
Let's get unconscious

And inside we're all still wet
Longing and yearning
How can I explain how I feel ?

Let's get unconscious honey
Let's get unconscious
Let's get unconscious honey
Let's get unconscious

Traveling, traveling
Traveling, traveling
Traveling, traveling
Traveling, traveling, in the arms of unconsciousness

And all that you've ever learned
Try to forget
I'll never explain again
