Never

I guess I might as well start up again.

I’m back, kinda, sorta, maybe?

Want to start writing again, its been a long lapse.

Lets leave it at that and see where it goes.

A bit better than sitting and thinking:

Sitting and drinking.

Hope to get some alcoholic consumption down tonight with an old buddy. And hopefully get some more use out of the Wii.

I assembled 40 sisters of battle last night. Certainly took its freaking time and they are only 3 pieces. However the problem with mass ordering backstock of metal miniatures is you usually get the ones that barely passed the quality control, and have more flash then detail on them. I think I lost another year of my life due to all the lead exposure.

It all starts over.

I quit my job on thursday, did my last day friday, and left it behind me. In reality there were a lot of things that weren’t working for me there. The stuff they wanted me to do wasn’t what I was interested in, and the work was dull. It pissed them off that I chose then to leave, but I was tired of it, and just couldn’t do it anymore.

Of course now I wonder if I did the right thing, though, not a whole lot. I know that if I didn’t leave there I would be in some real trouble in a few months when I was so unhappy being there that it crept back into my work again.

They had a lot of promises that fell through on their end, and on mine there was a lot of disinterest in what was going on.

The only reason I stuck with it so long was that I was worried that my wanderlust was the reason for it, and that I was going to get habitually bored with work after just over a year and move on.

In the end its over, I’m gone, and I’m not going back. Now i have to find new work, and I really don’t know where I’d like to go, or what I’d like to do.

I’ve managed to get my shammy keyed for Kara, some loot, and some more respectable gearing. However knowing that I need a slow off-hand is bogging down the progression. There are very few slow off-hand, shaman friendly, weapons in the game, and I don’t really have access to any of them. I figure the fastest way is going to be to PvP enough honour to get the level 70 axe, and then hope for a main-hand drop in Karazhan.

It would be easier if PvP on the alliance side hadn’t taken such a downturn with the latest patch. Who knew: Making it so everyone has to play would turn the AV advantage over to the horde.

Tomorrow is a dangerous new day, and I suppose I best get to sleep to meet it.

Reached 70

So I hit 70 last night. Felt good to reach the end of that journey.

I’ve got my Karazhan key fragments, and hopefully tonight or tomorrow night I’ll get the Caverns of Time instances complete to get it finished. Then maybe I’ll take my shammy into Karazhan for the first time.

The patch hit, and suffered the usual patch day woes. Couldn’t log in, my UI is messed up. Have to find a replacement for CTraid as its breaking the raid frames. Great. I loved CTraid because it was dead simple. Nothing fancy about it, just drag and drop raid interface, easy MT targets, and target targets.

Going to be rough getting the group together for ZA when it hits the PTRs in a week or two. But we’ll see what we get.

Almost 70

Hit 69 last night on my shammy. I’ll be making the last leg of that journey sometime within the next few days.

Hopefully get my key and get into Karazan on Wednesday. Not sure though. Always next week if it doesn’t work.

I guess there’s no slack time for me.

Yeah, had some major calls so I can’t really just goof off at work as I was hoping today.

Also turns out that Phantasy Star Blue Burst has only 30 or so active people on it at any given time. Kind of a shame, as it was a lot of fun when I played it during the beta. I actually wouldn’t have stopped if it wasn’t for the fact they wanted 9 bucks US for it per month, and really I wasn’t keen on playing it more than as a lark.

I just like my arcade style RPGs every now and then. And while WoW is fun, occasionally you need a mental break from a game. More so than I can get from metroid alone.

That and finding a group in WoW is just painful these days.

Driving is difficult.

I live in one of the wettest places in North America. It rains between 1/3rd to 1/2 of the year here, or at least it feels like it. Yet still you get people who cannot drive on a straight road in the rain without crashing into another car.

I had a guy try to blind merge into my lane, immediately after we just cleared a similar accident.

Seriously people, this is a team effort. If we all stop driving like jackasses, we will all get where we want to be faster than if we act like a pack of animals and just go wherever the hell we want, whenever we want.

I do ponder however if people realize that some of us simply don’t care about the condition of our vehicles, and may not panic stop to let you illegally change lanes just because you have a shiney new civic. Actually I might thank you, my truck needs to be put out of its misery.

I’m sure tired of it taking 70 minutes to get into work in the morning because of construction and idiocy on the roads. Hopefully I get to move soon.

All but two things evade me.

Grabbed my DPS Tier 4 helm today, so that means that all I need from Karazhan is the chest off Nightbane and the shield off Nightbane…

Lots of work done on the Mask. I guess I’ll load up some pics once its wearable.

Just testing the waters

Can this keep my interest for more than a few days? Who knows.
