No Pictures of the Puppy ... Yet

Our new family member is a Red Heeler. I don't really know too much about the breed-Damm's dad really wanted one and one of the local shelters had a brother-sister pair. He wanted the boy. I looked at the girl and decided she was for me :D I named her Bambi. I wanted to go with Suki, a name that my favoritist car and a few WoW pets have shared but it just didn't fit her. Bambi totally did. She's about a year old. She hasn't had any training to speak of but is remarkably well-behaved. Her biggest no-no is that she jumps up onto people. Wouldn't mind so much if it were just Damm and I but her paws are at Orclette-face level so huge big bad habit. She heeled beautifully for me on the one walk we've taken so far. She knew that when I patted her blanket next to the bed that it was her bed and stayed in it all night-no accidents either. She can sit, stay as long as I don't move away, and she comes about 50% of the time. So with a little training I'm going

Part III

Our new office The Kitchen The blurry dining room. Can you find the Orclette? Also thats my sword on my Dad's pooltable. The house! We need to get all that grass outa our yard. But otherwise awesome. We live on the right side, my parents on the left. Pictures of the new doggie will come later tonight.

Trip commentary part II

No pictures in this version... pictures of the house are coming in part III. This is just the events that happened in no particular order. Orclette rode most of the 16-17 hours in the car happily mashing on this alphebet schoolbus that had elmo making stupid songs. That was about 50% of her trip. 40% was sleeping very cutely. 1% was ripping up a People Magazine. and 9% was fussing. Which was rather amazing I think. Like I alluded to in part I we had a few difficulties. I had no rearview mirror due to packing and my rightside mirror is really just two of those bubble mirrors you stick on for better sideways vision(but horrible backwards vision). Then the mirror fell off and to change lanes I had to lean my head out of the window and look backwards. Found out Wulfa can't really drive at night because her glasses are funny like that. So we stopped in Ok. City to sleep for the night. Found out the next day that she just doesn't like driving :p... 15 hours me the rest her.

Trip Pictures and commentary.

The Organ Mountains to the east. Pichacho Peak to the west. Above you can see the overpass where we get off for my parents house. Also in this pic is our hotfix for the mirror that fell off midway through Oklahoma City in the middle of traffic at 6am on a 4 lane highway. This is where we walk the dog... also below you can see more of the area. Wulfa liked the area at first but is seriously missing the green. I'm loving all of it.

Trip

We drove for 5 hours. Got sleepy, stopped at hotel on the outskirts of Oklahoma City(the east side). Just woke up. Wulfa said to say she feels fat because we had burgers two meals in a row. Hotel rather obviously had wifi. Leaving soon.

Moving day.

Just finished clearing out all my cases and cleaning out my cubicle. Now to do something with my last 5 hours at work. Tonight we do the super-final-last-final-clean. Then we pile into the van squeeze between our stuff and drive a thousand miles. I'm so fidgety. My brain is gone. I reread my last 5-10 posts and hated them. I need to take more time in posting and it shows when I quickly write something up just to have something. Meh. More to come later. Maybe.

Zombies in your soup?

BBB wrote a well thought out post here: http://thebigbearbutt.com/2008/10/27/how-about-these-zombies-huh/ His commenters had some* nice replies both for and against. Go read it all. I don't have any real thoughts on the issue on way or another. I love reading everyone else's responses and stories though. My feelings? Other than the overwhelming anti-zombie bias(CLEANSE KILL PURGE) I'm loving this event. Saturday night me and Moon went into an -empty- Silvermoon City and felt like we were in the ending scene of Resident evil. Everything dead and empty. Then Moon turned a corner and saw them. A *large* group of zombies headed right for him. We spent the next few minutes dodging in and around buildings trying to find a few surviving trainers and shoppies while not getting infected and dead-i-fied. So yeah I love it. That doesn't stop me from foaming at the mouth and hating all zombies when I walk up to a flightpoint or AH and find it empty. Oh am I furious(CLEAN

On Hunters Part II

Uhm... *cough* thank you for coming tonight. I invited you all here for an announcement[nervous laugh]. I know I said I hate the ugly hunters... and I do I really do! But.... Well when you party with a hunter you..... well they keep making it hard to stay in melee with things.... and there is a simple solution but... I mean... its not like I -want- to play one. I don't. They are icky. But their not vile like a lock. If only lock's didn't come with that [shiver] rp. I mean... I'm a good guy... I just don't... lock. So I had to. I had no choice. It was that or brainlessly follow his pet healing it. And his pet never gets hurt. Or back to the melee thing where he shoots a mob and I spent 8 seconds chasing it doing no damage because I'm not in range. Or play a caster and be out of mana and drinking ALWAYS. And it is his fault too! He won't play a class that is easier to play with. NOOOOOO he wants to play the hunter. So I was out of options. No o

Moving Days

So tomorrow night is the big day :D Tonight we're packing the car. Tomorrow we're having a last meal with Damm's relatives. Tomorrow night our bed is being sold to a co-worker and we're taking off. I don't tolerate not sleeping on a bed. I had to do it whilst pregnant with the Orclette and I'm just never ever doing it again. Damm, I know I'd said I'd go camping with you but unless you're going to put me up at a hotel for the night no-can-do. Anyway, this way the Orclette will sleep for the majority of the trip. And we get there a day early which means more time for me to drag Damm around getting everything in order (his inclination is to relax for a day or two) before I start work on Monday. That will be interesting-it's been 2 years since I could say that I was actively in the work force. Once a week just doesn't count. I'm excited-I've decided that I'm not cut out for the stay-at-home thing. I like working part-time (full-time b
