I should not be allowed to read.

By
So we're on Spring Break. A full week of no school to rush to, no days where one of us is gone all day, etc. Glorious. And I checked out the entire Harry Potter series because I had the yearning to read it again. And that was fine on Sunday and Monday while we were in El Paso. But I have homework that needs to be done. And it's not getting done. Apparently my self-discipline gets very weak when the word vacation is floating around. It doesn't help that part of my homework is reading "Black Boy" by Richard Wright, a book that I'm sure is wonderful and illuminating. I just never had any desire to read it. Nor any of Obama's books, which is what's next for my wonderful Autobiography class. When I think autobiographies I think of the ones I read as a kid: Audrey Hepburn, Katharine Hepburn, Ava Gardner, and so on and so forth. But no, we're reading serious things. Every single shorter reading has been out racial oppression in America, which frankly starts to get depressing. It's probably good that I'm expanding my reading of that subject matter beyond Uncle Tom's Cabin. But did I mention the depressing part? I hate reading about oppression of any race, which is why I can't watch most westerns with Native Americans. I want to shout at everyone who thinks they're better than them.

And I'm going to be late for work. Ta.

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...

A tanking guide.

By
Here is the situation: Your guild has been busy all day long while your at work. You finally get home and log in and are informed that the GM(and main tank) is about to leave and you are now assigned tanking duty. You start to panic. You don't know what to do. And agro is already spiralling out of control. Ever been in that situation? I have. So I decided I would write a guide for this very situation. Step 1) Are the appropraite debuffs up? Step 2) Do you have the tools? Step 3) Are you practicing the fundamentals? Step 4) Are you prepared for the long haul? And Step 5) How to finish with a resounding silence. Are the appropriate debuffs up? You absolutely MUST have these debuffs up to start and you need to keep them up. There are only two of them and here they are in the order of priority: a) Clean Diaper. If Orclette's Diaper isn't clean you won't be able to contain the agro. I don't care how good your other fundamentals are. This is a MUST HAVE and should be chec...
