Andee from the internet.

worldofwarcraft.com seems to be broken in the account managements. The gods clearly don't want me to play tonight. Ah well. I battle on another day.

I'm not going to continue that chorus. Not because the rest of the sentiment is NSFW (when has that ever stopped me?), but because HOLY CRAP is it too damn cold to get up to any sort of shenanigans outside. It was 27 degrees this morning. Spring. Beltane, no less. HA. HA, I say.

But yes. It's May 1st. Brandy new month. No mistakes or foulups yet. All is more or less quiet on the health front (INR is 2.8 this morning), and after one and a half days of rest, I'm feeling fairly capable. It helps that I got a few backed up little items off of my to-do list yesterday. But in general... For some reason, I'm feeling very take-control-of-my-destiny today. Of course, a good chunk of that is addressing the ragged ends left by screwups in the past. *sigh* Ah well. It's all got to get done sometime, and no time like the present.

Today's also when new rules and ranking applying to our WoW guild goes into effect. Won't really know how that will shake out until June 1st, but I have my fingers crossed. Meantime, somewhere in between all the stuff already lined up this month (there's at least one definite road trip lined up, another one in the works, Dad's bitching at me to come visit him, work is gonna bite me in the ass for a little while, not to mention ZOMG I have SO MUCH TO DO) I'm gonna try to push Kayena up to mid sixties, if not crack 70. But let's be realistic here - 65 by June 1st at least. Rah.

So many projects in the works, web sites to update, things to organize, stories to write, my country's 500th anniversary to plan, my wife to murder, Guildor to frame for it... gonna try and at least get a bunch of them accomplished in between the other stuff I need to get done. I might not come out of out of my room until Memorial Day at this rate. ;)

Wish me luck, and blessed Beltane to all.

ETA: oh, and IRON MAN TONIGHT. Also known as "enter a dark room full of geeks with the rest of my family and quietly have extremely naughty thoughts about Robert Downey Jr." Nyaaaaaagggggghhhhrrrrrrmmmmnomnom *drool*

Apparently my Warcracking goes in phases... That's really the only reason I can think of for suddenly popping out of a month or so long "oh god, Warcraft, I can't be bothered *whine*" to ZOMG MY SHADOWY PRIESTLY POWURRZ LET ME SHOW YOU THEM. No seriously, Pimienta jumped from 34 to 38 just since Tuesday. I haven't leveled at that speed since I was taking Kayena through her early teens almost eight months ago.

Thinking during this weekend I'm going to push Pimienta to 40, cause then I will have hit the guild cap and will need to stop anyways. Maybe then I can go back to my gnome twins and do something other than ZOMG HEAL EVERYTHING.

So I joined a comm of women who play WoW (wow_ladies) so I had somewhere to post silly WoW shit without boring everyone on my flist that doesn't play. ANyway this morning there was a post about whether the women who play tended to be more sensitive than their male compatriots - to plots, and to guild and PvP politics/drama. I had the following bit to say:

I do want to be as helpful as possible, so I always feel a little bad when people in my party die, especially when it happens just after I've fucked up my keys or ran out of mana or something. The group I'm in are good sports about it, but if I party up with anyone else, I feel really stupid. And yes, I HATE HATE HATE the /heal emote. YES. I KNOW. I can see your bars. I'm doing the best I can here. Maybe if you didn't pull four mobs on you at once you wouldn't be such a mana drain, you fuck.

It occurs to me that two weeks ago I wouldn't have known what the blessed fuck I was talking about.

I am both amused and horrified by this. Also by the fact that on the bus yesterday I saw a clump of pink flowers in the middle of someone's lawn and immediately thought "Oooh! Mageroyal!" *facepalm*

Someone (masteradept?) was asking what my 3 days were going to be... I'm thinking Wednesday, either thursday/friday, and Saturday.

Work - called the theater last night looking for some phone number because I thought I'd swap out my Saturday shift with someone. Didn't get them, but got called back by one of the managers five minutes later, and she was like ZOMG it's so busy here can you come in for the 7pm?" Which was fine, I had nothing else to do last night and once I was able to organize some pants from C (as I'd shown up to Job #1 in green). I called her back and was like sure, I'll come in for 3 hours.

Ha ha, the place was DEAD for my entire shift. Dead. Oh well, I got to work with C for a while. :)

Wedding - Invites are going out this weekend, provided I get a minute to print these stupid envelopes with folk's addresses on. We are officially in crunch mode and I have to very carefully not freak the hell out about the lack of time between now and then.

Health - cold seems to be gone. Warcrack is doing nothing for the sleep deprivation, but that's ok for now. Currently bleeding, which makes me and my digestion unhappy. In terms of the brainmeat, obviously with everything going on, anxiety's at an all time high. Need to remember to ground and center often. Amazingly, Warcrack does help with this.

Legos - Chimneys added, second floor done, first floor working on. After touring a restored genuine Victorian yesterday on a work appointment (if anyone's in Northampton, I'm talking about the mauve and white house with the porches a go-go on Old South Street) I'm thinking of doing something to make it more exciting - it's way too symmetrical right now (especially in the back.) and victorians tended to have all sorts of funny shapes sticking out of them at odd angles here and there. So may drastically redesign the whole back and take some stuff out. At this rate, you could probably hide a family of sixteen in this house if you scaled it to actual size.

Lost - Season 2, They've just found Henry Gale and he and Sayid have had their touching romantic love scene in the armory. (aka, I've forgotten what episode number we're on.)

Other Television morlock keeps exposing me to, damn him - House is fun. There is Avatar tonight and Studio 60 next Monday.

Belly Dance - starts next monday. Shit, I still need to register.

Warcrack - Our party's on icecrown now, and my druid's at level 8 or 9 I think. Finally learned how to target effectively with the keyboard, as clicking turned out to be way too much for me, especially when four angry things are beating up the mage and I somehow ended up being the party band-aid. Now have to figure out where to buy phials so I can make this crapton of herbs I've been gathering and lugging around into potions, then wait until my account converts so I can actually hand them out to people.

morlock's character looks and behaves like Luigi. Complete with fireballs. ;) Seriously, every time he jumps I make the Super Mario noise. Most of the time just to myself, but often times out loud.

YPP - still managing to come back, deposit my money, distill a bit, and navigate with the navy some. Hopefully by the time poeple get resubscribed and stuff I'll have a few of the inter-arch routes memorized.
