There's the goals thread from Friday.

I didn't accomplish any of my goals. I didn't even get to log onto WoW this weekend.

How did you guys do on your goals?

RL - Got some of the cleaning done, but some furniture moving still needs done, just have to figure it out, so many particle board shelves that are too shallow for electronics and happen to be too shallow for much of the "kitchen appliances" so need to figure out a way to organize it

WoW - Rogue hit 83.5, so I'll be pushing that one towards 85 this week. Didn't run any dungeons just didn't have enough time in one session to queue for anything. That'll be 5 at level cap with 1 more above 80 and I just might have to get levelling my low-levels without the friend just to keep things moving, that or actually get running dungeons while waiting for them to be around. We'll see.

RL: Things went about like I'd expected. Fortunately, I had laid in Mongolian booze and dried beef and those served to keep me mostly out of trouble.

WOW: It must be that stage of the moon, my misanthropy has been acting up. That dwarf hunter, last reported at level 63, is now level 75.

So you're sitting there, single, in a country full of hot nubile asian women, and you were looking to stay OUT of trouble?

What's wrong with you, man?

There's a novelty sign out there that basically says, "on your deathbed you'll never regret a day spent fishing.

Its only an approximate analogy, but you'll likely find as the decades wear you down that "staying out of trouble" can be vastly overrated.

I played WoW for perhaps twelve hours over the weekend - but if I was expecting any great achievements, oh, well....

Visited a number of new areas and revisited some old favorites in pushing my cooking over 300, finally topped off my fishing at 525. Ran my first Cata heroic dungeon - got the cred but no loot or much else. I was dumped in with a short group after they'd already fought their way to the boss level in the Halls of Origination. Not sure how they got that far, really - I was just in time to participate in three group wipes before I got PO'd, switched spec, called out my trusty corehound and told the healer to quit trying to DPS. I was pretty quiet at first because I felt I had too little experience - but experience doesn't necessarily mean ability, I guess.

Moving to Outland for the next steps in my cooking.

Fortunately years of martial arts training have kicked in to remind me that 'tis the season for young women of a certain age to placate their parents by showing that they are not in serious danger of becoming old maids (at the ripe old age of 26+).



Smiley: laugh Allow me to introduce you to the phrase TiC (this is China) and to recommend The Geography of Thought. Things get odd here and the convergence of holiday traditions, family expectations, social pressures and dating brings out the weirdness at levels far more aggressive than normal. You thought I was joking? I offer the following:

'Mum, meet my boyfriend! Only 10,000 yuan!'

Can't buy love for Spring Festival singles

China-Rental Boyfriend

Usually, I'm not that worried about the dangers of the cute and fluffy ones, but right now they're a raid encounter and the Sadie Hawkins-esque enrage timer is just about to go off.

Hmmm....I keep saying I should try the LFR and try to do more of the heroics but I know that it's not terribly likely for me to do so. Still, my friend needs a few more ilevels before he can do LFR so maybe I will do some randoms with him.

I actually did do LFR. It was annoying and took way too long for the difficulty of the fights. People were touchy and rude (not to me). I ended up winning a chest token and trading it for a helm token (which let me keep my 2 piece bonus from the Firelands tier while getting me the 2 piece bonus from the DS tier). I'm not sure I want to do this LFR every week.

We've got our usual Saturday old raid group planned. We're supposed to do more in Ulduar 25 although a big portion of the group is new to Ulduar and some of them seem pretty new to raiding in general. This makes things go a bit slower and since some of the achievements actually require some amount of skill and control, I'm not sure whether or not people will get their drakes this weekend. Still, last week we managed an achievement on Freya that I don't have on my main after failing at getting BOTH groups of three adds down before they started respawning so we somehow got awarded the achievement for getting the two groups down in x number of seconds when what really happened was that they died/despawned after Freya died which was after we just gave up on coordinating the death of the adds and just focused on burning her down instead. *rolls eyes*

I got my 25 man drake on my female Troll Shaman. It went fairly smoothly though Yogg took several tries and people really are stupid in phase one with the clouds. >.<

I would like to work on some alts although I noticed recently that I'm getting short on lowbie Horde alts to play with on my main server with the two lowest being my special Belf Warrior who is slowly working on Loremaster with exp turned off at intervals and my Troll Priest who is in his 40s. I might have to start leveling bank alts at this point because I still prefer playing Horde and I like playing on my main server where I have all of the professions covered. I need more character slots! I have been working on Alliance alts too and I even put 7 levels on my Nelf Druid although I still find it frustrating to be playing a spec that is so much like a Rogue but without the cool Rogue abilities like pickpocketing and sap.

I got several levels on my Night Elf Rogue bringing her up almost to 72.

I'd like to put aside some time for some non-wow games and I also plan on driving out to spend some time with my family.

The family visit went well and my mom was a bit more coherent and normal this week so that was nice. I spent several hours on Dungeons of Dredmor and a bit of time on King's Bounty. I do enjoy both of those games.

RL:
Wine & snacks Friday before my spouse leaves on a week-long Disney cruise with her sister & her youngest son. I should be getting together with one of the boys for an "At The Met" Opera tomorrow but still have to confirm, it might be next Saturday instead. Otherwise, just keeping our kittens company for the weekend, and possibly a hair appointment on Sunday.
Friday wine & snacks, Saturday out to Opera while spouse & her sister got ready for trip. They left early Sunday morning, and then it snowed here.

WoW:
Still trying to get the Staff of Sorcerer-Thane Thaurissan with my 85 human warrior through archaeology, to pass around to my mage, priest & warlock once they hit 85. My 57 tauren druid and 59 BE DK are still working towards 60 to pick up flying.
No time on alliance toons, but a lot on BE DK leveling her to 62, and her mining & blacksmithing from nothing into the mid 200's. Also dropped herbalism on L25 goblin priest and picked up enchanting instead, to disenchant all of the useless low-level BS equipment being created.

That was fun.
