I have all these great thoughts seriously!

Like: "why... but hte.. I'm hungry... pizza.. so tired.. droool... eyes.. failing me"

Yeah so I'm super mentally literate right now. So you get a post!

Just to weigh in on the unending crazy huge gossip circle about the horsie that happened this weekend(I'm sure this is dead horse material by now but still).

I've always held that there is no "right or wrong" pricing options for anything that isn't considered a basic human need.

If blizzard decided today to offer a new superclass that did 5% more damage/healing/threat than any other class and charged $30 more a month for it? I'd still be playing WoW. I wouldn't even consider this a horribly unfair thing.

Because thats how everything else in life works that I've seen. Exclusive access or extra perks or better service... costs more money.

Alternatively if Blizz sold xp or gold or gear... you know I'd be fine with buying it if it let me get to the portion of the game I wanted to play. And I'd be fine with other people buying it too. Their gear level doesn't change my game play(pve) and when it does(pvp) well.. I'm already lightyears behind anyone of the endlessly super rich players who exist now. They are blessed with endless amounts of time and time is worth more than money.

So changing the game where people with money could get perks? How would that change it for me? I'd still be way behind the guys with money just like I'm behind the guys with time. I think the only people affected would be the guys with time as they would have competition for those pixels on their screen.

And tada everyone is happy because they get a post from a braindead me on the issue.

p.s. Blizz might want to price any such options to such a degree that the money made would balance for the subscription lost by the player getting bored after they've beaten everything.

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.

By
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...
