How it helps me procrastinate.

I SHOULD be doing wedding stuff, seeing as its now only 5 months away, but, frankly, it sucks. Seriously, I wouldn’t wish wedding planning upon my worst enemy.

well, actually, I would, but regardless, its a pain in the ass. The only thing that’s actually concrete is the venue and my dress. That’s it. We don’t even have a damn guest list.

But, I digress!

New patch!

I have to say,  I LOVE the new LFG tool. Saves me loads of time looking for a damn healer-if I’m playing my DK, or a tank, if I’m playing my healer. It also opens up what I get to do, instance wise, rather then whatever the rest of the group picks, since its completely random. Keeps the game from getting boring by doing ToC, or the new Halls ones. Not that I don’t enjoy them, but it’s a nice treat to do, say, heroic nexus or Gun Drak. My other favorite thing about the LFG tool is that, using the eye icon on your minimap, you can port to the instance, and, should you need to repair, you can port right back in. Saves a lot of time flying, and hearthing.

My biggest beef with the LFG tool is the vote to kick. Now, actually, that’s a bit hasty. It’s actually quite handy when someone DC’s, or is unbearably rude, but it also enables the elitists to be MORE elite. I’ve had people give my DK flak when she doesn’t do 3k dps in a REGULAR. I know she still needs new gear, why do you think I would do regular, rather then heroic? Honestly, the nerve of some people.

I’ve pretty much blocked an entire server. I wish I was joking.

I haven’t gotten to do ICC yet, but I do know that you don’t actually get to fight the Lich King yet. Apparently, the release date for the second wing is going to be in April sometime. A little disappointed, but since I don’t have the gear score to get in, it doesn’t affect me much. As for the new instances-pit of sauron, hall of reflection and…Pit of souls? Hall of souls? Whatever. I like the new ones. A bitch to heal, sometimes  and I would think tank, as well, but overall something fun and different.

And,  has anyone else noticed the almost Jazz music that plays after you beat the first boss in Forge of Souls? Whats up with that?

I should be doing wedding stuff, but, I think the Winter Veil achievements deserve my attention more.

I finally caved, and I signed up for Twitter. It feels like hell just got a touch colder, and yet, I don’t regret it. Yet.

Want to follow me? http://twitter.com/Anteela

Why Anteela? Well, all the other names I typically go by were all taken. That’s one thing. The other is that my newly 80 Death knight is named Anteela. She’s undead and adorable. Got a few epic pieces, from ToC, but still needs some work before I can be ready for Icecrown.

Right, Blizz finally announced Icecrown Citadel patch, and, I must say, it looks sick.  I’m excited to finally take on the Lich King. Though, I can’t help but wonder if we shall actually get to DEFEAT him. Perhaps there IS some sort of redemption for him, but I am leaning towards the not on that one.

Why am I not playing right now? It’s National Novel Writing month. I’m not actually participating, however, I am taking this time to work on my first draft and, hopefully, finish it. It’s been a long time coming, but the light is finally visible at the end of the tunnel.

Let me assure you, writing a whole novel is NOT fucking easy. Some people are under the impression that anyone can write, and, frankly, this simply isn’t true. Especially for those writer lucky enough to do that for a living. Most authors-published or not-have day jobs, and write on the side.

That’s to say nothing of the actual publishing process itself, which is just as time consuming and involved as the writing process.

..But I can’t help myself. Felicia Day? Yea. Enough said.

I was trolling around in this website (seriously, that man is in a league of his own-one that is wittier than yours by far) and, by pure chance, happened across this.

Feel free to watch it multiple times. I did.

If that isn’t enough, the third season of The Guild is up on Xbox360 now.

Now, the real question is this: where do I find that outfit, and do they have my size?

Besides that, this is also truly epic, in a different way then the Guild, but just as fantastic.

The writing has finally came forth, so that’s fixed. I think.

Regardless.

I got thinking about what I have been doing over the past few weeks, and, my brain seemed to finally dislodge the answer. I’ve been watching Gundam Seed.

Unlike most anime, this story revolves around friendship, in all its forms, rather then the typical love story beloved by makers of anime.

The story is both profound and complex, becoming more and more tangled until damn near the last episode. Its the kind of story that will make you laugh, cry and then, finally, hope.
