In Today's Episode... "Mane-of-Night: Flight 102 Is Overdue" reaches an important stage, as Oshaba hears rumours of new arrivals on Yafornis, The Wraiths discover a rather disturbing scene, and Talona feels compelled to seek more... expert advice.

Release Notes... I might to consider a brief inter-part break to allow for some catch-up. Weather-related work outages have bitten into my production streak, and I absolutely MUST rectify that.

Meanwhile... It snowed during the night. Not a vast amount (a couple or three inches), but enough to torpedo any plans for going in to work.

Right, that's another delivery dealt with, and as far as I'm concerned
87 - Get a decent computer desk that DOESN'T have a metal frame!
is now counted as a *SCORE!*, now that said desk is now in its semi-final location at Site B.

Parcel Panic! Checking my email, I found the new comics order list had arrived - BEFORE the latest batch of comics! About half an hour later, however, the errant parcel(s) arrived, taking another minor niggle off the pre-festive table. Phew!

Next up should be some additions to my boot collection, loaded on a delivery van this morning, and following those will be a drip-drip-drip of Amazon present-related items, starting later in the week. Getting busy hereabouts...

Going to try for work again tomorrow. Gotta make an effort.

Sorry - that's something of a work-related joke: phocena phocena is the Harbour Porpoise. Get it...?

Yes, spank me - I deserve it.

Back to the world of sanity... The Seven Gifts of Patent Saturday are all ordered, or purchased. The last four were acquired in town today, and are smaller, more mundane gifts than the first - but even so, I think I can put another *SCORE* beside Task 65
65 - Celebrate each and every Spiritwalk (May 22) and Patent Saturday (December 1) like they really mean something (which they do!)
Talking of Tasks: I may have just managed to cross
87 - Get a decent computer desk that DOESN'T have a metal frame!
off the list, having been successful in absentee-bidding for a suitable piece of furniture at the local auctions! It'd be nice to be able to declare one task a full *SCORE* this month, and this will most likely be the one.

Unless, of course, I manage to finish my current outstanding craft project before Wednesday, and fulfill
52 - Complete some craft projects I've started
That I can definitely achieve, with a bit of effort...

In Today's Episode... The Pandemonicum Symphony: First Movement draws to a close, and the battle is, in part, decided. Some have paid a heavy price; others leave the field of conflict burdened by the knowledge that this struggle is far from over, and far more complicated than it first seemed...

Release Notes... Stay tuned for an epilogue. Trust me, this one matters.

Elsewhat... Right now, I'm busy avoiding the Korean Formula 1 Grand Prix result. Oh, the joys of "Create and Craft"...

...talking of which, I'll be hunting down all kinds of projects to carry out using the modest supply of 550 paracord I just got - I really need a new "keychain" - and I'll be continuing my furniture hunt. The Bedroom needs shelves, The Office needs... oh, a decent office chair, that non-metal computer desk I've been wanting...
87 - Get a decent computer desk that DOESN'T have a metal frame!
...stuff like that. A "wish-list" is on the cards, I'm thinking.

But first, it's time to master some more knots - I've already had a few goes at the "monkey fist"...

Damn! Missed the posting of my 1500th entry - that was "The Adamantium Bear-Trap Of Logic, or Hey, Vatican, Stop Talking Sh8!" Not much to celebrate, but still, there it is...

AND I'm maintaining a minimum of one post per day, every day this year. Just like this...

Meanwhile... Our CLAN letter has now received responses from four of the officials we contacted - one actually turned out to be the wrong person, but he was kind enough to pass on our letter to the official whose superior we thought the guy was! So far, our "inaccuracy" hasn't become an issue - our personal situation appears to be the main issue, and that's just the way I'd like it to proceed. There's still no indication of a "public meeting" with CLAN, so the next step HAS to be a targeted leaflet campaign in the neighbourhood - people need to know about this, and have their feelings noted.

...NOW HOLD EVERYTHING! The school suffered some roof damage in the recent stormy weather - it had to close just before Easter, and whilst the pupils are back, the repairs are "temporary" at best. The sports block roof has been "made safe", but is it safe enough to have CLAN inflicted upon it...?

Oh dear - do I smell a cancellation? It wouldn't be the total victory I'd been seeking, and that would mean The i-Resist Peace Camp would be cancelled as well - yet it would mean I could cross
79 - Protest against CLAN
off my list...

I still want to kick up a stink. It may be my last chance...

"How So...?" As we approach the summer, another spectre looms - the upheaval of moving from the place of my birth to what was my great aunt's house. The move makes sense, from a "family logistics" point of view, but still it's scary, despite the increase in space, the closeness of the rest of the family, and the prospect of gaining an "office", on account of the extra bedroom. As something of a coping mechanism, I've been trying to piece together a "needs" list of equipment and materials this relocation will require - a new desk, for a start, which brings me back to my Mission:
87 - Get a decent computer desk that DOESN'T have a metal frame!
Despite all the plusses, and there are quite a few, the very thought of uprooting myself still rather freaks me out.

That's a matter for another time, however. And so...

...Back To Mission 101! Another impending task is
65 - Celebrate each and every Spiritwalk (May 22) and Patent Saturday (December 1) like they really mean something (which they do!)
with less than a month to go to Spiritwalk 2010. I have been considering booking a night or weekend at one of the more high-class hotels in town for a variety of occasions, but my finances are highly unlikely to stretch to that kind of expense immediately - I still have a debt to pay following the "Pay Malfunction" this month. Patent Saturday 2010 is a far better fit for such an indulgence - and by then, there's a definite chance I will be thoroughly deserving of it.
