New old TV!
May. 3rd, 2018 07:00 amSo, Netflix have resurrected a programme from my childhood - Monkey! I loved the original so much when I was a kid, even though I had zero idea what was really going on. Well, Australian TV and Netflix have done a remake and it is brilliant. So many nice touches, including Sandy as a girl, and Tripitaka acknowledged to be a girl (even though she's pretending to be a boy). And lots of humour - eg, baddy falls off stone onto a wooden stake and Pigsy says, 'At least he got the point. It's too soon for that, isn't it?'.
I'm still working my way through Once Upon A Time - just past half-way in Series 2. It's a real brain-ache trying to keep track of who did what with/to whom in the Story Book World - everything is so intertwined. Mostly I just let it wash over me and try to fit the pieces together later. But Jorge Garcia as Tiny the Giant is as wonderful as I would have expected him to be. And the reveal of Gold's son! Probably could have seen it coming but I try not to second-guess stuff like that. It has stuff to say about the importance of story and about redemption. Good Stuff :)
I've added some Tarot spreads to my journal. I'm really looking forward to using the one I created myself based on the Goddess Wheel. I focus too much on being 'an Athena' - I really want to explore my other Goddess-selves. I'm not going very far down the 'work of art' aspect, although that may come.
I am also beginning to explore the idea of creating a 'Rule of Life' for myself. I'm not looking to join a community - not even a loose one like Aiden and Hilda - but I am feeling the need to write something down. I have some principles that I try to follow as much as possible but having them written down would make me feel more accountable to them. I am hoping to explore this further with someone from church - if we ever get a date to meet!
Work is going well - just nothing very exciting or new. I have, however, set myself the rather ambitious goal of being in a position to apply for - and be offered! - a proper PM role within 2 years. This will require me to actually do some PM'ing, which will require support from management. There is a project that I have my eye on (I know, I know, I've said this before... but this time it'll work, OK?) that I don't think anyone else is that keen on doing. I am going to make a bid for it, anyway. At the moment, it's VERY amorphous (and yes, in my head it looks just like an Amorphous Gel from FFX! Including the changing elemental properties aspect...) but it's something everyone wants to happen. The problem is that what they want to happen depends on who you ask. At the very least, I can argue that I'm free to go out and talk to people, whereas the 'real' PMs are tied up with other stuff. I'll float it at my 1-1 later, see how far I get.
OK, that's all for now DW!
