Tonight is Shaman night.

So I've been in idle mode on my toons most of this weekend. I took Friday night and hit 60 on my shaman. But after that I didn't do much.

My hunter finally hit exalted with SW and is now about 1/2 the way to 40(from 39).

I created a warrior for twinking and made it to level 2.

I then created a mage and made it to level 8 last night. I plan on playing the mage...the warrior...not so much.

The stuff in blue is me rambling and complaining. I couldn't decide whether to clip it or to post it so I changed the color and figured I'd warn you now so you can skip. Its not all bad...but not much of it is good.

If you like the other Indiana Jones movies you will probably like this one. It is the same old Indy. And honestly he only gets cooler as he gets older. Seriously, "old" indy is AWESOME. Crazy awesome. That said? I didn't like the movie. I never like these movies. The scenes are awesome. The plot sucks. It is how I feel about 90% of what LucasFilms puts out. Wulfa liked it and I imagine most people will like it. I don't -regret- it at least. Oh and I'm looking forwards to Hancock a lot. I also want to see the Panda movie but I'm afraid that I'll have already seen all the good bits by the time it comes out. Not sure about Twighlight, I'm afraid I'll rip it apart afterwards and not enjoy it. Oh and Prince Caspian was awesome. Still haven't seen Iron Man(Wulfa wasn't interested). The new Hulk looks like something I'd actually watch. I skipped the first one(the one from 2-3 years ago).

Outlands is a lot slower than 1-60. Its rather amazing how much a difference 2.3 made. I think thats the patch where they made leveling faster. I'm glad they did. It was difficult enough with my limited time/focus to even get to 60 -after- the patch. I don't think I would have done it before the patch. Sure there are a lot of quests that give you 10-12k xp a pop in outlands. But that is still about 20 quests for the first level. Compared to about 4 for level 59. (I usually kill about twice as many mobs as I have to). So like Wulfa I'm no longer really expecting to be 70 any time soon. At this point I'm really just wanting to tag 70 before Wrath comes out. I'm expecting to get to do Kara or any raids as the moment I tag 70 I'll be farming up gold/rep for ages and ages.

However I'm really looking forwards to being able to actually twink and play with people I know. Every previous effort I've made has resulted in people saying "but I wanna be 70" or "I hate battlegrounds". Both statements boggle me.

I love Battlegrounds and I really don't care too much about being 70. I'm very very glad Blizzard allows/supports twinking for this reason, its easy to get to 19/29 and get all the gear you need/want and then sit and play your 'endgame'. It doesn't take the hours of leveling that 70 requires. Days/months in my slow case.

Anyways.

Back to work.

Guildless.

Me and Wulfa are now guildless. This came as kinda a shock and with no communication from the deciding party. I'm currently looking for a guild for us. We are not "raiders" and will never be. We do research our gear and fights and in general our classes. We are looking for a guild that we can be a part of, chat with, and not be expected to raid or be on specific times. I think that means we're looking for a "social" guild. We are primarily alliance but once finances get squared away(aka my bonus arrives) we could possibly convert to horde. If anyone knows of any guilds that they would recommend please let us know.

The Cat is Out of the Bag

I wonder where that expression comes from? There is this fabulous book that can tell you, only I forgot the name of it. Next time I come across it I think I'm going to have to buy it. Anyway. I was going to wait. A long time. Maybe forever. I don't like people coming up and hugging me, smiling and saying congratulations, or asking me questions. But Damm was talking to his recruiter about insurance. And he mentioned something that he should've told the recruiter was non-repeatable, because 5 minutes later the recruiter told Damm's mother (I have no earthly idea why he's talking to her-I keep forgetting to ask). After that I had to tell my mother. We haven't told any extended family members because there are quite a few here celebrating Damm's mother's graduation and that would be the worst form of torture I can imagine. So yeah, I'm knocked up again :P And this time I'm getting the t-shirt. "It" is due August 11. I have not been to a doc...

Programming.

Someone enlighten me. I keep running into this idea with certain people I talk to. "Why are you charging me for this custom program? It has already been written for another bank. All of the work is already done." I've tried explaining that programs are like books. Even though you only wrote it once you charge it multiple times. I've tried explaining that custom programs are like our software product. You have to pay for YOUR copy, even though we've already written and sold copies to other people. The last person I tried to explain this to told me that I "shouldn't argue with the customer". /sigh This isn't a complex idea.

Two, and three.
