This has been a busy week. I have a bit of a break this morning, but I do need to do some preparation for this afternoon. Most of the week has been involved in requirements definition and requirements capturing sessions. When I've not been on client sites, I've been at home writing up the captured requirements or drawing up system architecture diagrams. It's kept me pretty busy, even into the evenings.

So aside from work type stuff, I really haven't done much else. I did play poker for about an hour last night; I lost $21. I could have been ahead, but I got out of a pot that seemed to be getting too rich, even though I did have the best hand. Oh well, so it goes. I may play the late game tonight; it will depend on the early part of the evening.

The football was disappointing last weekend. Liverpool played the stronger game, but a dodgy free kick was given to Man U in the last minute of regular time, from which they scored and hence won the game, 1-0. Fucking Manc bastards. Seattle beat Carolina to win the NFC Championship, which was good, and they now go on to face Pittsburgh in the Superbowl in Detroit in a week. I think I'm going to pull for Seattle. No real reason, just because. On Sunday, Liverpool faces Portsmouth in the FA Cup 4th round. I'm not sure whether I'll watch from home (I believe it's on Fox Soccer Channel), or head to the Brewhouse.

I don't really have much else going on right now. I've got plans for tonight (birthday dinner for a couple of friends), after which I might do poker, and I'm picking up Lauren and Matt from the airport tomorrow night, but that's about all that's in the wind. I might try to see a movie. I should really see Underworld before see Underworld: Evolution. Liza called me to say that Mirrormask is on somewhere this week; that's something I should follow up with, since I missed it the first time it was here.

Heh, that's weird. I was just listening to a band called Kanda, and they had a song with the word "cocaine" in the title, and I've switched over to Japanther, and I see that the next song also has "cocaine" in the title. How odd.

It's a lovely looking day outside - a lovely blue sky over City Hall East, and sunlight puring onto my deck. But I bet that it's cold out there. A quick look on weather.com tells me that it's 43F (6C) but feels like 37F (3C). That's icky.
