Slogging onwards

Posted on August 10th, 2006 by uruloki

Yuck, first day back at work from a break, gotta hate those. I spent four days hanging out with Otter, playing WoW (fighting the gd computer), watching Lost, and playing Zelda.

The slow improvement continues. My big goal for the four days was to get to artisan (225+) cooking with Eliz. Made it to 225, now I just need to do the quest and get the crap out of my bank to cook up. The marginal upgrades continued with two BRD runs netting

of Power). Unfortunately, there was lots of wiping in the Lyceum as some people just won’t flippin’ listen to directions. By the third time, you’d think the stupid priest would understand “stay on top of me, I know where the hell I am going” but no, let’s back up into the repops. Grrrr. You’d also think it’d be cake with a mage and TWO MC equipped Warlocks (6/8 Felheart both), but all that firepower doesn’t do crap when the only healbot in the group has Intelligence issues. I also picked up the

My UBRS run also ended badly with four tries at Drakk. I did get

In other news, Lost is actually a pretty good show. Otter and I had seen Episode 9 in Season 2 and could hardly makes head or tails of what was going on, but seeing everything straight through is the way to go. Now it all makes sense. :) For episodic stuff like that and 24, I think seeing the entire season at once is the way to go. The only danger is that you know you have the next episode just waiting to go, and you can’t stop watching until really late at night.

How good is Zelda? Let’s just say, when I started it up and Otter heard the music going, she actually tore the controller out of my hands and played. Granted, it was only 10 minutes but it made this geek very happy. ;) Her main problem with Wind Waker is that “there isn’t enough fighting.” That’s my girl!

    Ooo, so Lost is good then? Excewent. Dis and I are planning a Lost-fest in Nov when I get there. :) I’ve never seen it… Not having a TV makes that possible. ;)

    screw tv it is over rated, i just get it at work, if i want to watch a movie i have to go to some one else’s house or watch on my compy/lappy

    I tend to agree on the TV thing. Mostly, the TV is on to distract Otter from what I am doing. :D Every once in a while, I’ll watch a whole episode with her, but I would much rather read/WOW than watch TV.
