Today is Sunday and as usual I am up before D and I want to be a child and jump on the bed and wake him but he has been really tired lately so I refrain. I would like to do a few chores today. Nothing much just small things. Tomorrow I have therapy and that means the day will be shot. And oh how therapy is going to be rough tomorrow. I have a shit ton of neurotic devices to bring to the table... all the downtime when Nielle was here that caused me to shut down. What's going on with Nicky. My not talking to Dr. Scott about the sleeping issues... although some of those have corrected themselves. And I see Dr. Scott this week and I never got my SMA-12 done and lithium level done. We will have to do that tomorrow morning. It looks like I will be going into work with D tomorrow.
So I haven't really given an update to WoW lately. D and I are 80's and have been for almost 2 weeks. I have my JC at 420 and my mining is maxed. Fishing is at 383, cooking at 122 and FA is at 213. I got my Master at Arms for 4 weapons lvled to 400. Anya, D and I have been collecting pets and I have 33 of them... 17 away from the Shop Smart, Shop Petsmart achievement. I am working diligently. I have a game boyfriend who is endorsed by D, his name is Brimm/Brimw. A million years ago he gave me a pet cat in Deadmines and he gave me a mech squirrel last week. I adore him. Today we are going to run Dire Maul... hopefully Anya, D, Brimm, Garvey and me. I would also like to run a lower level instance in Northrend. And I want to work on Iratze and Killsunday. It's a lot of things to do. =/
Oh my I am weeks behind in updating. I kind of feel like parts of my life are being failed. My apartment is a disaster area. My email commitments have gone to hell. I don't eat properly... okay I have never done that but still. For a while in January I was getting my shit together and now I am worse than ever. I am making a promise right now to post a Vox at least twice a week. Even if nothing new is happening. I can post how nothing ever strikes me as noteworthy. Oh! See? Now that is a lie. Things are noteworthy, I just always feel silly for what is of note to me. So on with this.
Last week City of Glass came out and I devoured it. Hard to believe The Mortal Instruments is over. I loved COG. There were a few places that I almost threw the book and I did scream at it some. The first half with all the Simon stuff when it was my last Jace book, annoyed. I felt so bad for Jace through out though. He more so than Clary. He's my favorite character of the three books. But I am having a hard time not writing anything that would spoil D who hasn't read it yet. I think that after he does I may have to write a play by play, chapter by chapter synopsis. For now it's a new tattoo I can't scratch.
So I think a good illustration of where my mind has been... last week I went 5 days without checking email and 3 without looking at my phone and Belle sent a message that there was a How To Be screener at the Burbank International Film Festival but I got it late and told her we wouldn't be able to go. D told me we were going and I was like what is he talking about... How To Be isn't being released. It was like I was resistant to believing or something. So I went on not connecting any of the pieces and found out late Saturday that we were meeting Belle and Susan at the screener and that we were all going. I enjoyed it. It has Robert Pattinson in it. It's about the neurotic musician who blames his parents for everything that is wrong with his life. He gets a self help guru to come to London from Canada to personally instruct him on how to have a better life and in the course of it everything falls a part. It's funny but awkward and pathetic at times. It will be screening in May again at First Glance Hollywood Film Festival and I would like to go see it again. I hope it gets released. I think Ronny was my favorite. Yeah.
So I have ebeen the world's worst BSG fan. I don't know what is up with me. I watched two eps and then got really stubborn. But no more. I have a plan. Nielle will be here visiting next month and we are watching all 10 eps. We can watch them 2 at a time and still have time for the Ren Faire and Salton Sea or San Juan Capistrano. I am making lots of plans for when she is here. I would take the car and drive her to some of the places alone.... but I can't handle the stress of driving anymore. Especially not in LA. So we will be stuck to the whim of D. Oh and I have to take her to Scoops for vegan ice cream for the win!
I am ruined! You know it was a bad habit that I had for years where I typed all in lower case without punctuation... 2 months into playing WoW and it exists again. It took almost a year to learn to write properly. So it's with a concerted effort that I have typed this entry. I have a role model though. I want to type like Terun. He doesn't type like a jackass at all. I think I'll just slow myself down and make sure that everything I type from now on is pretty and understandable.
As for what I've been doing in game... well I'm a 69. Just a few tens of thousands away from lvl 70. Then all the good stuff starts. We are finishing up Nagrand... we are 2 or 3 quests away from the achievement. We have been playing a lot still with Terun/Deathtoou. We did Ring of Blood as primarily a 3 man. We needed help with the final boss and with Durn: the Hungerer. I'm always pretty amazed by what the three of us can do together. I've been having some disagreements with G since T and I started Tali. He really resents the fact that we didn't stay with him and I get it. It was a betrayal but I wouldn't have been happy in Ring of Fire. I don't know how to get that across. I have been spending a lot of time talking to Thelyon and I wish, wish, wish I could convince him to come to Tali. I don't want to pressure him but he's the kind of people I want to surround myslef with. But hey he could feel about Tali the way I feel about RoF and Warlords. Who knows. I've also been spending a lot of time with Sylianya. She is so cool. We spent the first morning killing big babies and walking to Lakeshire. The second morning we went to Exodar. And Tali... I mentioned it above but it's been a while since I last updated my Vox and I definitely never mentioned that T and I started our own guild. T and ali = Tali. It's small but growing. I hope it grows to be a very successful guild. Low key but fun.
I love this...
I have been caught in a trap and Voxing has been the last thing on my mind but I promised myself that today I was going to do it. A little too much questing and a little too little living in the real world. My life is really in the toilet.
Moderation let me know thy name. So let me start where the trouble stems. I am a lvl 57 now. I traded one dumb hat for another and just have used the interface option to not show it at all. I have run Mara, Sunken Temple and BRD since last posting. Took part of the raid on Zul'Gurub... i died 4 or 5 times.:( I've been doing a lot of runs with Garvey and Terun/Deathtoou. We are questing in Burning Steppes now. Have hopes of lvling to 58 tonight and being lvl 65 by Sunday. It's ambitious, I know.I've been doing a real little of reading. I'm reading You Will Know Our Velocity! in 15 page segments. Jason is going to get the impression that I don't want to read it at all, which just isn't true. I just have this buggy personality and when I obsess it takes up all my energy. I haven't been able to concentrate at all. Of course I'm going to devour City of Glass when it comes out a week from tomorrow. Oh my god am I excited. And in my feed this morning was a Rachel Caine update about Fade Out the 7th Morganville Vampire book. The cover design to the left. So she has the next two books in the box. Oh Shane, I'm wishing happy things for you.
Class has been more interesting. I still think my prof is a tool but I really liked the video we watched in the last class. I liked the debate of Intelligent Design/Creationism and Evolution. Go Evolution go! I'm eager to see what happens in class tomorrow. I hope we actually start learning about something other than religion and politics though. D needs to know about psychology before he goes to grad school.
April is coming soon and we have Portland and Shanny and then Nielle will be coming to visit. Oh fun everyway around. Speaking of Shannon she took the pic to the left and I loved it so much that I snagged it for in here. She is so awesome. And Nielle... when she comes here we are going to do the RenFaire in Irwindale. I'm hoping we can do it on a day when Belle can come too. Note to self: remind D to buy plane tickets.
I haven't been watching hockey but I have been playing fantasy hockey and my team beat James for the first time all year last week. WOOT! D tells me that Chris Kunitz is playing well in Pittsburgh and Ovie is edging in on the 50 spot for goals this year. Go boy! Do DC proud. I can't wait until Thanksgiving this year when we will be in DC and I have high hopes that we can see a live caps game.
Oh I am getting too excited. It's only 22 days until City of Glass. I have been reading the COG cookies at Cassandra Clare's My Space and I am completely abuzz. The earlier cookies were longer, the last two were snippets. And I love the picture from the tour to the right with Sebastian as the dark angel and Jace as the light. Oh but I don't want it to end. But she has her new shadowhunter series The Infernal Device. I just want more Jace and Clary.
I watched all the video and read the articles about Rob over the last few days. I love that he is still clueless as to why he is so popular. I was a little disappointed to hear that Little Ashes was pushed back to May 8. But incredibly happy to hear that Eclipse has been greenlit (is that the right tense?) and should be out June 10, 2010. There just isn't enough Twilight stuff for me. I haven't gotten my dolls yet but I plan to.
Note in the pic right that Ali is wearing pants instead of her robes. It's like she's naked.
We had a couple of good runs over the weekend we ran mainly with Kaei and Garvey and interchanged others. We played with Nasmirn and Dawsacre which I love running with, even if Nasmirn was a bit of a tool. He did give me 10 pieces of heavy leather so I could level up my tailoring. I was going to play after I wrote this but I don't have time before I have to get ready. I think I will take my computer with me and play at Iso. I also have the new Vampire Diaries book to start. Maybe in the waiting room.
