This was all in all a very intresting day. My morning didn’t go exactly as planned, but funnily enough it was a good thing. I felt fresher than usual for the most part of the day and got more done at work both regarding the actual work (Two more finished features and two advanced significantly, looks like its getting done ) and the studies next fall.

It turned out that I probably can’t take an actual course in Software Project Management, because I have the course Project work not done in the dpt, but granted to me (Hyväksiluku) based on my earlier studies. I kinda understood the points the responsible professor made about this, but still I wasn’t too happy. Come on, if it is in the register as “You have the equivalent knowledge and skills” then I should damn well be able to take the damn thing with that equivalent. Fortunately the professor found other almost as significant problems in the my and my assistant professor’s proposal, based on what this is going to be denied. Have to rethink the master’s program and see what is actually smart to take.

After work it was time to reunite with my love and go handle some more wedding matters, post the invitations (we’re done with them already, Rejoice!) and go out to look for things that might seem smart to put in the wedding-gift-wishlist… We met up in Fantasiapelit, but didn’t end up wishing for anything in there From Fantsu to the post-office and we were that much further on the program. Thank goodness M wanted to eat before we went to see for the dishes we might like as that turned out to be anything but easy. Especially cutlery was rather short on the likable options. It seems that we spent over two hours at Stockmann wondering on what kind of cups (No, we found none that we could have agreed on to be nice), plate sets, etc. We should wish for. It seems to be traditional to start collecting some set at the time one gets married, but…

In the end we found that we both liked dining plates in one range of Villeroy & Bosch (With a ripoff price, so we put a few of them in the list, remains to be seen if someone wants to actually invest in them) and some more plates (the small ones for bread, deep plates and some serving bowls in Arabias 24h of particular green (very nice surface)) and one more set of glasses… So the wishlist’s cutlery section is still very much of a work in progress, but we keep digging. The wishlist’s current version and I have to say, that Emma did beautifull work on the design, looks very nice and in line of our wedding’s graphical theme.

Of the dinner that we had, M treated me to a wonderfull dinner in Coyote-grill, complete with desserts. Apart from the giftlist exhaustion, I think we actually managed to enjoy it somewhat together. Which is nice, we’re going to marry soon, she got her engagement ring back today fitting better and all polished. It was very good to see it on her again.

So here was the hairdo today (My hair is still unevenly long, today it was freshly washed as I started today with a shower. It was tied to a ponytail (low in the neck) as I usually like to have it). Even if I read some political debate, good online comics and some of the department’s new study guide, this (again) was all that I managed, perhaps some political or real rpg stuff in near future, now… just go to bed.

How could I have resisted this, when it suddenly leaped to my face. Vampire: The Masquerade was the first rpg, that I got to actually gm and I have to admit that it has left some lasting impressions to my gaming (or should probably say storytelling) style.

The first game we played was on the Halloween of the ‘95 if memory serves to anything. The adventure was from the Succubus Club, the one where there’s Baptist protesters outside the club and the characters are supposed to see to the situation in some manner. I just can’t remember the name of that one, but it was the absolute best in the book. The characters were quite good, at least some of them were, have to dig ‘em up and post here for your enjoyment.

But the actual web-test thingy, I picked from someone who was linked by Emma. To which Vampire-clan you belong to:

Faustian manipulators, the Followers of Set further
their shady agendas through puppetmastery and
sinister “business deals”. Precisely
what their agenda is, few know. But their
claims to roots in a being far older than Caine
and or far greater power can provide only
sinister hints. Their connection to the serpent
of Set is infamous, and one said to be more
than just metaphor, as is manifest in some of
their more disturbing powers. But as creatures
of the nether darkness, even strong artificial
light unsettles them, and the purifying,
piercing sun can tear their slithering bodies
asunder in moments.

Which Vampire: The Masquerade clan do you belong in?
