As usual, real life got in the way...

Hit 242 paragon and about 3 million xp away from 243. Did not get a single piece of gear for my Crusader and not for lack of trying. Spent about 1500 blood shards and got zilch on chest pieces. Only played about 2-3 hours in total.

RL - cleaned cleaned cleaned. Step-daughter moved back home and is making everyone miserable (she has that effect on everyone and everything) plus she and everyone else is a slob, so between nasty floors and kitchen messes it was the general maintenance. Actually had time and good weather to mow my yard, it was about 3 weeks past due. Saw Transformers - the dialogue for the most part was absolutely horrible but over-all it was a good movie, Dino-bots!

WoW - I got my iLvl up to 497 (equipped) on Tuesday. So, I guess it's time to take a look at LFR SoO. I still really need to work on my healing. I have done quite a bit with a holy pally in the past, but raiding with a druid is a completely different style. I'm tweaking (and hopefully improving) my style as I keep reading up on resto healing. With that in mind, I may try to run LFR ToT and even older raids, just for the practice. Also, I really need a new weapon. The one I have is 463, so just about anything will do. I don't know if the jump up to SoO is huge, but I'm at the bottom of the gear curve, which puts more focus on my ability...

RL - Dunno. No big plans. Coast until the following weekend (4th July) when a lot more will be going on.

Other gaming - I'm addicted to Blood n Bones (Minecraft mod) right now. It takes an easy game and makes it quite challenging. Frustrating and fun all at the same time.

WoW - dipped my toe in the first wing of SoO. It went alright, but trying to learn the fights for the first time is not really conducive to bettering my healing. I did manage to get a couple upgrades, so I'm sitting at 499 iLvl now. I'm at the tailend of the curve for most LFR folks, given some of the comments about iLvl (none directed at me) that were flung around in the chat. But, I still think my numbers need to get a lot better. I do think I need to spend some more time in ToT and earlier raids to practice.

RL - Nada mucho. Hocky Sunday night. Lost in a shootout, despite outshooting the other team 48-18. We should have won.

Other gaming - I didn't play as much WoW as I anticipated because I'm hooked bad on Blood n Bones. As I said, it's quite challenging (and fun).

Hope everyone enjoyed the weekend. I'm already looking forward to the upcoming 3-day weekend, so enjoy the short week (for those of us in the US).
