Webquiz of the day :: 16:19

Not so sure about this webtest. I’ve been running a couple of rpg-chronicles involving angels and this guy has always been one of my favourites and here they tell me he nags…!? Wtf? Nagging archangel, great lord of bitching…

Anyway there’s a point to this result, now I just have to strive and keep consentration away from the angel-games, have a new chronicle will consentrate on that.

Rafael. You’re most like the ArchAngel of Healing.
You want people to shape up, and you nag. But
you mean well, and you’re well loved despite
it. Or because of it. You bring the donuts
even as you tell people to eat more veggies.

Which ArchAngel are you most like?

Of course changing by one’s answers with only one little tweak produce different results in this kind of quizes and I can just as easily get labeled something a bit different… :D

Lucifer. The most misunderstood of all the
ArchAngels, you’re most like the ArchAngel of
Light. You’ve seen the darkside and have opted
for something better. You need better press,
though chances are no one will really
understand your motives.

Which ArchAngel are you most like?

Guess they’re both just as accurate and just as irrelevant (I like the second one bettter)

Paikallinen ongelma, Sorsapuisto :: 14:13

Luin juuri kotipaikan tapahtumia seuraavasta blogista huonon uutisen. Eija-Tellervo oli havainnut, että eräs suosikkipaikoistani kotikaupungissa halutaan hävittää.

Sorsapuisto on olennainen osa Tamperetta, paikka on kaunis niin kesällä kuin talvellakin, muodostaa olennaista kaupunkikuvaa ja on ihan jumalattoman oivaltava (Ulkopaikkakuntalaisille: Sorsapuiston lammikolla asustaa kesä-aikaan tuetusti iso nippu erilaisia vesilintuja ja viereisissä häkeissä majailee sitten vähemmän vedellisiä tirpusia kuten maatiaskanoja, kukkoja ja riikinkukkoja talvella lammelle voi ilmeisesti mennä luistelemaan). Viime kesänä siellä tuntui jatkuvasti olevan jotain toimintaa, tai-chi ryhmiä, tyypillisempää jumppaa, auringonottoa, lasten ulkoilutusta, koirien ulkoilutusta jne.

Jos tästä kylästä halutaan tehdä jonkinlaista kulttuuripääkaupunkia, niin on kyllä aivan perseestä revitty ajatus, korvata palanen keskeistä kaupunkikulttuuria sellaisella kamalla, mitä meillä on täällä jo enemmänkin Kiakkohallilla. On aivan turha puhua monitoimihallista, kun vieressä on konferenssi- ja konserttikäyttöön hyvin soveltuva Tampere-talo, Tampereen yliopiston tiloja jne. kiakostahan tässä taas on kysymys.

Mitä luisteluun tulee, niin Sorsapuistossa voi talvisaikaan luistella lammenjäällä, mikä on ihan erilainen kokemus, kuin mennä joidenkin hemmetin halogeenilamppujen alle, jos nyt sattuu pääsemään. Sorsapuisto on sellaista kaupunkilaisuutta mitä tarvitaan, Sorsapuisto on hyvä ja sen maisemat ovat pehmentäneet useammankin aamun yliopistolla, uskoakseni luovat mielihyvää muillekin kaupunkilaisille.

Slow mo :: 10:48

But necessary. Weekend was mostly spent on homeimprovement ie. doing a major clean-up operation including some bulldozing for living space, washing dishes, scrubbing the stove and the oven… Yeah, I do think it was a major one. In addition got more shelfspace, which will become necessary and run out sooner than we thought… ;)

Fortunately we also found time to watch the first part of Children of Dune miniseries, which was very good and produced more Fading Suns gaming, yet another campaign placed in that world. Looks kinda good. M wanted to have an inquisitor game and me being me, I started it off before the actual events. Her character being raised in Amalthean mission. The order of the camapaing will be the big change, her becoming the inquisitor and then the storyline somewhat deviced. Her character Soledad, Sol seems extremely good for the purpose as I think a compassionate inquistior will be an intresting one to center the campaign around. This one has true possibilities.

I’m using recycled villains from our somewhat shortlived spaghetti-western-squire campaign. Seems working already as tried in the prelude. Music for this is, Morricone, Chingon and Hildegard von Bingen… talkabout a soundtrack. This is a somewhat novel campaing in other things as well, as unlike the usual approach I’ve had, this one’s located started in Hazat-space, a rare incidence as I 9x% of time favour Decados-space. Time will tell how it goes, but the beginning looks good and it has chanses of becoming an epic.

The end of the last week was spent mainly in two activities. After the 10h day on wendsday I took some much needed rest on thursday by idling with Xbox’s Whiplash. A rather twisted game. I thought about G, but got more work done on the Aarnimetsä book of ceremonies. Looks like that one might get finished sometimes during the spring-season. Mostly it is combining work, composing a whole out of materials from different sources, tweaking texts but looks like there will be some more writing before it is allfinished. Time will tell. Making one’s own tools is if not fun then at least very rewarding.
