Call me Mud! Just wanted to write down some stuff before it all escapes me, before fatigue and aching muscles get the better of them and I’d rather not write at all. Yesterday (THURS) had a team building seminar or sorts. The whole Globe Handyphone Team played Gotcha!, that paintball-war game, against the Coke-Jollibee Team of McCann. Definitely lots of fun! I spent most of the time lying down on the mud. Slipping, sliding, crawling on the mud, trying to gain a foothold on anything. Felt really helpless. My protective goggles kept fogging up and for safety purposes, I couldn’t remove my goggles and mask while I was on the battle zone. We played three games. During the first game, we were the defenders of Hamburger Hill. The Coke Team had to capture our flag. Five minutes into the game and I was already breathing heavy, felt like I could move my legs, and just couldn’t stand up due to the slippery mud. By this time, my green pants and black jacket had turned brown...
1:20am Still at the office. Yesterday, went home at 4am. Got to work at 4pm. Rushed to the recording studio. Back at the office by 5pm. Yesterday, went out for a two hour "lunch break" and finally finished reading Gaiman's AMERICAN GODS . Yes, finally got my Gaiman-fix. :) Past couple of years, I've had to get my Gaiman-fix by reading those 8-page Endless stories that would come out in Veritgo's WINTER'S EDGE. Course I also got that SANDMAN: DREAM HUNTERS , which was nice... not thrilling, but nice. But AMERICAN GODS definitely gave me my fill of a great Gaiman story... of stories within a story... most of the ideas presented in the novel would be very familiar to the typical SANDMAN reader, but it's all good... good to see familiar characters and see them from a different point of view. Will be going home in awhile... New comic books arrive later today. Happy day. Then again... there's work...
