Weekend SummaryFollow

It's Monday night here. The fireworks are cranking up, they just brought me a fresh case of beer and I have a fridge full of Harbin sausages. How did your Year of the Snake kick off? Pink left me so stunned that I'm having trouble putting together a coherent post.

WOW: I didn't get to play much, but Pandakration is 83 now and might make it to 85 by the time I crash.

RL: Pink spoiled me ridiculously! She got me a really nice, solid gold pixiu pendant for my birthday! We got a good start on the new year; a group of us got a VIP room at one of her favorite KTV places for a combination New Year's Eve/birthday party, drank too many toasts, and reeled back at midnight through the fireworks. The only pictures that came out halfway well were taken during a lull, but if you look closely you'll see signs that there were groups setting off fireworks every 25-50 meters and most of the time there was just so much going off that the phone camera couldn't keep up. A couple of her friends stayed over for the weekend and Pink has been having a field day cooking for everyone. Yes, all of that and she is also an excellent cook (she even sings well).

Weekday musings: I need to run the holiday events for gear, but I'm also going to keep pushing the Horde Warrior and Monk.

Here's hoping that things went well for everyone! Thanks to all for your good wishes.

@someproteinguy -- Gong xi fa cai! You know the follow-up to that one. Pink helped me steer my way through the intricacies of hong bao this year. She even kept things moderate.

Sounds like a good birthday, Rhodekylle!



Managed to get above 1250, so I bought myself some bracers. Also hit 81 on my mage, in Vashjr... I had forgotten how much I actually liked that zone, aside from trying to find the stupid bases (always hard to remember where the entrances to the caves are located).

Actually ended up using most of my free time on Skyrim, as I got Dawnguard and Dragonborn DLCs downloaded. I've barely done anything with either of them; found the Dawnguard base so far, but that's it. Spent a lot of my time powerleveling my Smithing from 70 to 80 so I could create and upgrade Ebony items... made a HUGE difference. Also, loving that I can make arrows now with Dawnguard - favorite change so far.


State Faire was fun and HUGE. Enjoyed it, though I was footsore after several hours of walking around. Ditto to Busch Gardens, though we only stayed for about 4 1/2 hours there.No go on the UU church though.

And after three days of eating out and/or eating greasy faire fare, my diet totally needs to get back to normal Did find a good sports bar/pool hall though, so we'll probably go back there. Their fishbowls are pretty amazing

Wife was up half the night with a sore stomach after eating something that didn't agree with her. Sister in law was lamenting that her daughter would be born in the year of the snake now. I can never keep up with all these superstitions. I mostly watched the kids watch Bob the builder. Pretty good time really.

As for WoW I ran a few older raids, didn't get any BoEs I was after though. Still made some money selling the leather and cloth. Economy is a bit different than I left it and I'm still trying to adjust. Also got my pets a few more levels.


You didn't give someone the wrong amount did you?



Worth repeating.
