Thoughts.

1) When writing stories I am more creative on paper.

2) Discussing your stories with people ends up being more frustrating then just writing the next bit. I've resolved to no longer ask fifteen people about a plot question.(p.s. if I asked you understand this wasn't just a one person thing)

3) U.S. vs [country name here] suddenly makes me very patriotic even about sports I couldn't care less about. Yay for silver in hockey! Too bad we didn't have more baskets and slap points and sliding tackles.

4) In my sunday wordpress vs blogger debate I ran into the fact that while I much much prefer the behind the blog design and layout of wordpress; for the visible part of the blog they give you 81 or some odd designs to pick from and if you don't like them... well sux2bu. Staying with blogger for now.

5) Ret pvp is more fun than protection pvp.

6) Battlegrounds are more fun when you are coordinated. Me and moon and khour ran battlegrounds saturday. In the same room, staying together for the most part. Calling out dps targets and focusing on them. We became a force on the battlefield. We'd show up... and usually the flag fell to us. With the exception of Pancakes the supermage, our three person comp seemed to be the driving force in any of the battlefields we fought in.

7) Pancakes the supermage held Farm by herself. All game. We only wandered over there to heal her up after combat and rebuff her. The girl was a beast.

8) Wulfa hates battlegrounds because they are frenetic. I'm trying to think of a class/combo that will make this less so for her.

9) And thats it. Now to start working on my stories for the week.

Your decision to stay with Blogger makes sense to me. Wordpress really shines when it is self-hosted (when you pay for it) and you can install any plugin you want and have unlimited control over how it looks. Of course that also means a lot more work.

You guys should have tried Wintergrasp when it came up. It is a lot of fun. A tight group working the towers in the south of the map will make a big difference some games. Plus, with the quests in there and everything, you can get a ton of honour.

Strand of the Ancients is a lot of fun too. It being the SoTA holiday there were a ton of games going this weekend, and I spent a lot of time in there.

We tried SoTA but that was before I respecced Ret and Khour logged his warrior on. If we went back now we would probably enjoy it more than when I did like 20 damage and he was healing. Still the fights tend to be more of 15 on 15 instead of the 3-4 on 3-4 of AB.

WG is still kind of intimidating. Mostly because I haven't done it and don't really understand what is going on.

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...

There be too much history.

For the past couple of weeks Damm and I have been faithfully spending an hour each day working on our respective summer projects-he on his writing and me on Spanish and history. I had previously mentioned wanting to create some sort of series that I’d work on throughout the summer. I did a bit of brainstorming and decided that I should write essays on bits of fun and fascinating history. Then I started thinking up topic ideas and realized that I didn’t have enough time to randomly pick subjects, research them, and then write entertainingly. So I decided to pick one area of focus. It came down to either Modern Russia or the Civil War Era, since these are the two history courses I’ll be taking in the fall. I chose the Civil War. And even then I have not narrowed my focus enough. The essays one could write on the American Civil War … the possibilities are endless. And so I’m in the process of redefining what I will write/research. I’m in the midst of gathering info for a...

Werewolves are always better.

The question answering post will come tomorrow. Sunday was too busy. I just finished reading Twilight and New Moon . When I first started Twilight I wasn't impressed, it seemed slow and bleh and very teen dating girl story. Last night I got home at about midnight... I picked up New Moon. I was only going to read the ending to the scene that starts in the back of Twilight.... I didn't get much sleep last night(due to finishing New Moon). I'm loving the series. Although, wow these vamps scare me. Why? Because they are harder to kill. After reading the first book I spent 20 min thinking of counters. For a counter to be valid it has to be balanced. I can't just say "I'm superman and Vampires are deathly allergic to me and I heal like wolverine and have a robot army." (although when I ran into the aliens from Alien/Aliens/AvP for the first time, my counter at the time was almost exactly that.) I came up with the Dancer. He's a completely normal ...
