October 04, 2005Yesterday I took the day off in an effort to break the "Monday Curse." I was only partially successful. The firewall went down right around 6 pm. The partial part is that the firewall is not my system, so other people are responsible for fixing it, but I still ended up coming into work on my day off, because the firewall heavily impacts systems, which are my responsibility. It wasn't too bad, and fortunately unlike the other two guys who got called in, I only live 15 minutes away. I have to confess to mostly goofing off while I wasn't at work (though I did make one fairly important business call) . After taking several months off from playing World of Warcraft over the summer, I returned with vengence last weekend. So I spent quite a bit of yesterday playing my Undead Shadow Priest Ashtaroth, but I also managed to watch the four hour epic Lawrence of Arabia. I can only imagine the controversy a film with not a single female speaking role might engender today, but it was a magnificent movie. Beyond that, nothing much is going on. I can tell you that I'm underwhelmed by Bush's new judicial nominee. I haven't heard much so far, but nothing that I have heard leads me to believe that this is anything better than a punt on Bush's part. Of course, there is a theory going around that he choose someone who wouldn't be confirmed so that when he has to choose again he has a greater latitude. I'm not sure what to think of that theory, but it would be quite the political maneuveur if it turned out to be true. Avoiding reality

"Several months off from playing World of Warcraft ?!?" I am assuming you mean with Ashtaroth because as far as I can tell, you haven't taken more than three days in a row off from WoW since you got it, and that was when you were out of town.
