Writing thoughts out along the way

Another thoughtdump of an entry given how call center life is really just centered around commuting to work, sleeping before work, preparing workstation for work, work, going home, eating, sleeping, eating and then repeat. Very little time in between for anything else on account of having to deal with performance metrics, account policies, the routine round of questions, whining and threats that go through 8 to 10 hours of calls a call center rep goes through. Makes me wonder how come I'm still alive.

As to post-work entertainment, DVD watching and PS2 games are available. TV watching have been much reduced since not too many shows are updated currently with new seasons.

I have noticed that most bookstore inventories display are leaning a lot more to fantasy as opposed to sci-fi as I have started to get jaded with after my return from the US in 2002. I mean is sci-fi reading and book selection on the downslide until the latest and final Star Wars prequel installment show on the silver screen?!No wonder locally made romance novels and a horde of Magic: The Gathering novels and other fantasy sundries populate the shelf. Sci-Fi has just winnowed out to just a number of Star Trek and Star Wars titles that had to compete with the likes of Lord of The Rings after the movie was shown. Sci-Fi and its relative Space Fantasy are pretty much relegated to locally produced manga stories which are more catered to the hardware/technology aspect of the genre.

Its like it'll take a few more chronal units for me to accumulate enough base material for a lesser version of the silver bullet be used for any creative writing in the near future.

I'll try to keep posting mentionable items of note as I eke out this existence.
