| Dean is starting to get along with the others. All of them slept with me in the room last night... I was asleep, but I assume since they were all sitting outside the bathroom when I left the shower they were close.
Jake is hissing at him, but only if he gets closer than 1" away. He and Ingrid are ok with each other, but no friendly.
Last night Dean was tearassing around the room (and up and down the hallway) when I was upstairs, but he did not like the basement office, which he followed me to.
I'm debating if this means I need a laptop and wireless LAN, since it seems the easiest way to still run dailies while staying in the entertainment room (TV, Wii and PS3 for me, yarn and cat trees for the 4 legged ones).
Upon thinking about where outlets are, I'll need to move the drum kit, 2 tables, recliner and papa-san to do this, but it will clear up some wires.
It could be a weekend project, then.
I expect by the weekend Dean and the others will be playing, and all in the living room with me, instead of the two older ones sitting in the hall where they can watch me. | comments: Leave a comment  |
| Taken: Great movie. Not sure if Liam Neeson has great kung fu or Luc Besson is a great choreographer. Either way, well done.
Samurai Rebellion. Odd to see a movie that came out when I was born. Totally overblown and cheesy... by today's standards.
Event Horizon. Meh. Maybe 2 star material.
Also watched 30 Rock (has the TV nature, amusing still) and was impressed with the advances in sitcom technology during watching Sanctuary, the Hunger (this must be British, has the British scifi feel to it) and Heroes.
Yes, more TV than usual since that certain someone isn't playing WoW and I wanted to keep an eye on the new cat. | comments: Leave a comment  |
| Saying, "let me show you pictures of my granddaughter petting a cat" is a good way to convince someone you are not an axe murderer. If you need to do that or something. It even works if the picture is blurry.
Also, I do better than pictures of the new cat doing cute stuff.
'Cos I'm good like that. | comments: 4 comments or Leave a comment  |
| | Looking for when the first digital camera was made (it turns out the first commercially available one was when I was 23), I spotted on the front page of wikipedia the entry for Gropecunt Lane, which means what you think it does. | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment  |
| So, today is the first anniversary, and that's not fun.
The air conditioning is broken. I just noticed Sunday, because I haven't needed it. Which is a miracle out here. Need to replace to outside unit (I think, I know it's not starting).
Tanked Heroic Violet Hold, Healing Heroic Old Kingdom. Got sick of no tanks, so I assembled some tank gear and went to town. Evidently it worked.
Need to draw up gear goals. I know I need about 25k more honor for the welfare epic, 14ish more wintergrasp shards for, um, something I need, and I have some emblem buys to make. Need to check for faction gear and I guess look around to see if I could target some heroics.
Plus I need to set priorities for both specs. Not sure which will be primary.

| Scenes from the modern breakup:
Removal from the friends/buddy list on social sites/IM
No longer having a speed dial, or later, a number in the phone memory
Also, questions I didn't know you need to ask potential dates: 1) Do you have a car and valid license? 2) Have you ever been in rehab?
(yes, a friend told me about some bad dating choices)

| If Dr. Tiller had been attacked and killed by a bear, would we assume it was a Christian bear? No. And we should not make assumptions about the faith of the man who killed him, either. We don't know what motivated him or whether that motivation was religious in nature.
This was posted the day after the terrorist attack on a church in Kansas.
PS: This is the perfect ticking bomb scenario, since the terrorist has stated there are other similiar plots in motion. Why aren't we waterboarding him? (Answer: he's white)
Also, for those that wonder how some Christians are reacting:
Church pictures
Galatians 6:7 from King James, for those (like me) who don't know the verse offhand: Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
The spokesman for Colorodo Right to Life has come comments too.
Plus the Lear Jet repo man is just cool. | comments: 3 comments or Leave a comment  |
| So, I talked to my former boss about the gaming I did this weekend. He was interested in the mechanics of the gaming, and I ended up talking about the social dynamics of why I haven't been in gaming conventions for 13 years and what I think about people's reactions to that.
I, of course, disclaim it with the fact that it's just a small piece of the truth, but the next step is to solve the things that are happening, which, to be honest, doesn't interest me enough to do the things I'd need to do.
Which has consequences of its own, but I knew that already. | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment  |
| Yea!
Levelling is stupid easy. Having a epic flyer makes going from zone to zone much easier, to be fair. Almost honored with Hodir and Ebon Blade, need to hit Sholazzar for the dailies there. | comments: Leave a comment  |
| Hit revered with the Kalu'ak last night, which means a nice DPS plate BP, which requires 76 to wear. Which I also got last night.
Looking forward to the harpoon of poking stuff for lots of damage, which I get at 78. I also get a nice healing mace to use at 78.
Need to get Knights and Hodir to revered, can't start hodir until 77, so I went to Ebon Watch to start knights. I hope the quests will get me most of the way to 77, then I buy cold weather flying and work on Hodir/Ebon Blade, which carries me to 80 and then start heroics to gear for raids.
I never want to think this much about Michael Biehn but someone did and I'm ok with it.
Also the PvP parody of Watchmen. | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment  |
| So, there are 2 factions that you need for item enhancement:
Knights of the Ebon Blade : http://www.wowhead.com/?faction=1098 - looks like you just do random quests for that faction - This quest line http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=12892 is important for some reason
Sons of Hodir : http://www.wowhead.com/?faction=1119
- Need to complete "they took our men" http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=12843 to unlock it
I started looking at WoW heroes (http://www.wow-heroes.com/). You need to be 70 to have your gear scored, Lintra is 431 in her ret gear (which is, with one exception, quest rewards), Nhinx is 498 in Kara gear (with some pre-kara slots), Rastafar is 621 is kara+ gear (but is not eligible for higher instances because he's low level).
To put it in perspective, you need level 80 and a score of 2200 to be properly geared for the Eye of Eternity instance. Neo, for the record, is just behind Mageroyal for top gear score in the guild. | comments: 5 comments or Leave a comment  |
| Lintra (73 paladin - holy/ret - skinner herbalist) cooking to 450 (405) fishing to 450 (350) first aid to 450 (420) - I also found out there's a drop you need. I have it.

Kiztent (63 hunter - Marksman - enchanter skinner) Enchanting to 450 (373) - Need to level to 65 to get 450 to open - Have I mentioned that enchant vellums rock?
Velvetedge (62 rogue - assassinate - alchemist herbalist) Decide on tradeskills (will leave, this is Shannon's old rogue, too hard to change it) Decide on spec (DONE: Mutilate build)
Relvin (58 deathknight - blood - miner tailor) Tailoring to 375 (152) - curse you nethercloth - need to run SM to get 308 silk cloth, then get a ton of mageweave and runecloth from... somewhere Mining to 375 (281) Level to 60 to get tailoring to 450 - curse you frost cloth | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment  |
