Office Christmas party tonight, working tomorrow. I'm not gonna get much done this weekend. What time I do have will be spent playing something on my PS3 or fooling around with my new iPad.

What about you guys?

RL: Plans got shredded again! Was going to attend a friend's graduation, but they're making it for families only and are buggering off as soon as the ceremony is over. His mother has terminal cancer, so I totally understand, but it's still unfortunate Smiley: frown

WoW: On the other hand, that means more WoWing! Got my Fluxfire Feline to 25, and soon my Clockwork Gnome will be there too... so that's 5 pets at 25. Unfortunately, two are mechanicals, and the one critter one is weighted for speed (sucky!). I already managed to run all the raids for a chance at pet drops; only need the Gluth and Golemagg pets now to get my frosty lil' kitty! Sooo, plans:
1. Finish the last Way of the Cook (Steamer, maybe? I forget). I only have one left, and already have all the tokens I need and all the veggies I need. Need to farm up some meat!
2. Run the Shieldwall dailies every day. I don't know why, but I REALLY enjoy them. They're fast and easy (usually done in under 20 minutes), and they reveal the storyline quite nicely.
3. Maybe do Scenaturdist tomorrow, as I only have two Scenarios left for it.
4. Run some heroics. To date, I've only done... 4? at level 90. But my ilevel is 472, so really I don't think I have much to be worried about. And I could use the Valor Points.
5. Probably run Golden Lotus, though it's like pulling teeth. Still need to hit Revered.
6. Pet battle dailies, for the chance at an upgrade stone! 15 bags opened so far, no stones. And none from wild fights (and I've leveled 2 pets up to 25 since 5.1 came out!). Stupid rare stones... I want my Fluxfire to be rare, darn it!
7. Start working on my collection of hard counters to pet battles. My magic counter is level 17 right now. I need to pick up a snail for an elemental counter, a turtle for undead counter, a jade owl for aquatic counter, and any elemental for a mechanical counter. Maybe a Scourged Whelpling for a Dragon-killer, though I hear they are rare as all heck.
8. If I get some of those hard counters up, complete the trainers of Northrend quest. I've downed two of the trainers so far, but Nearly Headless Jacob gave me such a tough time that I think Major Payne will wipe the floor with me.

Yeah, all of that will keep me busy busy busy!

RL:

- Friday: Maybe a calm evening with one or two friends, watching a movie or something.
- Saturday: Going to the gym. In the evening going out and most likely drinking way to much. Looking forward to it!
- Sunday: Regret every gulp of beverage I had Saturday night and all the stupid things I did and said. Calling a few people to apologize. Smiley: lol


WoW:

- Getting the 13 Winter Veil achievements I am missing. Plus the Winter Veil meta. Plus the Long, Strange Trip meta.
- Somehow having either Elegon or Will of the Emporer drop a Casterweapon. I did every LFR every ID and those two bosses on Normal mode since my guild is able to down them (barring one ID when I was away). And I STILL run around with an upgraded 471 blue weapon. /rage
- Push Klaxxi to 999/1000.
- Do August Celestial Dailies every day. It's time I learned to do those enchants.
- Play my warrior alt a bit. Maybe this will be the first expansion I have not one but two *gasp* characters at max level.

WOW: See if I can get Pandamonium a couple of levels. Abuse the lazy folks in the AH by performing my annual experiment and seeing if I can still manage to sell milk for outrageous prices during the holiday.

RL: Pink has staked her now customary claim on the weekend. I'm never sure what she will decide to do, but I always enjoy the time with her.

May the RNG smile on you all!

RL- Finished Breath of Fire 3 the other day. Quite surprised on how easy I had it. Played through it when I was younger and it was tough for me back then. I got to thinking about it and I believe it is due to WoW that I find games like that easier. Gogo increased critical thinking skill!

Working on Final Fantasy 4 now. Again I remember really struggling with the Antlion boss but this time it was run in and roflstomp time. Hopefully I will be done with that game by Monday so that I can start working on Chrono Trigger.

Yeah... he just found out like 2 months ago. They didn't want to tell him until after he finished university this month, but her condition has been getting worse and worse and eventually it came out. Docs give her between 6 months to 2 years left.

Are you playing on an emulator or console?

RL - Office x-mas party on Saturday. Then, I'm headed out of town on Monday for seven days, so some part of Sunday will be prep time. And, I doubt the wife would appreciate me sitting in front of the computer all weekend. So, WoW time may be limited by RL this weekend.

WoW - Level the pally to as close to 90 as I can. I'm at 88.75 now, so if I really push, I may be able to get 90. I want to continue to run dungeons, but I'll quest in between queue times as necessary. I've been a bit surprised at the long queue times for healers. Maybe it's just because it's normal dungeons; I'm curious to see how it is at 90. Anyway, 90 is the goal...unless pet battles get in the way like last weekend, :-). I'm at 344 pets. I'd like to get up to 400, but I don't intend on focusing much on pets this weekend. Of course if I drink too much, it may be pet battles. A lot easier to pet battle while tipsy than it is to heal dungeons.

Hope everyone has a good weekend. Happy Holidays!

@ Locke, my list sounds a lot like yours.

The wife and I had a falling out with our raid group a few weeks ago so haven't been raiding at all. Kinda refreshing actually not having to schedule play time. Anyway, I've mostly been working on battle pets the last couple weeks myself. And I keep forgetting about Scenaturdist ><

Scourged whelpling is the 1 I'm missing for the Northrend safari.
Baby ape needed for EK safari.
Need the giraffe, silithid and Quiraji guy for Kalimdor (I know the one isn't available til summer grr)
Then onto Pandaria as I haven't really done any pet battling there at all yet.
Oh, and the classic raids, still need the pets from them and have never run any of them.

So, I'll probably do August dailies on my lock - I think he needs about 2-3 days still to exalted, maybe the shieldwall dailies, and possibly scenaturdist. The rest of the time will probably be spent on my horde hunter doing pet battles and the old raids. Maybe even finally get him the other 75% of a level up to 90.

I have still never seen the giraffe, silithid, baby ape, or scourged whelpling so those are my current nemeses.

RL: Nothing.

WoW: Take my Monk through Pandaria. Finally hit 85 tonight and am now grinding my way through the Jade Forest. Crazy amount of XP needed and wearing entry level Cataclysm gear makes for slow progress. Good thing I've got all weekend. Smiley: grin

RL: Office party tomorrow nite, and it's also my mom's birthday. Cake!
WoW: Will jump on whenever I have a free hour, do some dailies, maybe work on pets. Falling way behind with my blue searches lol.

WoW: Not sure. We have raid tonight, but I think I'm going to watch movie(s) as planned a few weeks ago. Will try to do my dailies each day as I'm getting closer to being revered with the last 2 I need to be with (for gear).
Maybe work on LW. I'm up to LK stuff. And thus work on skinning.

RL: Movie Night, I think is needed tonight (friday).
-Sat: A xmas party. So I'll be getting tipsy!
-Sunday: prepair for the last week of..w/e. If Humans get to see the 22nd, Friday of next week will be the last day I go to work until the 2nd :D (Vacation, plus as a "gift" work gave us both Mondays (24th and 31st) off.).
