It seems any time I've had more than half an hour to kill in between the end of one event and the beginning of another, I've ended up at the Haymarket cooling my heels in the downstairs. This is probably solely because they have wireless. And yummy potable things. I currently sit here with a contraption strapping a hard drive to my waist and all kinds of pick-up patches taped to the front of me and all of this covered somewhat ineffectually by my big black hoodie. I'd best not go near any major government buildlings this afternoon - they'll think I'm a terrorist. As if, you know, being black weren't enough of a red flag.
The fact that I got up at 5am is catching up to me in the form of a creeping exhaustion and a slightly black mood. Thankfully both the deadlines for liquid and solid food have passed, so I feel entirely more human after a latte and a banana chocolate chip muffin. The mood persists, and I find my head in dark places I don't particularly like. Namely regarding a whole hell of a lot of files on my computer that I could completely fuck a few people over with. Not that I would, more out of a concern for personal repercussion rather than any sort of moral fortitude, but sweet jesus I'm sickly amused by how much some people's existences ride on me not being a dick. *sigh* Its one of those days where I wish I were less of a wimp and more of a bitch - not so that I could do the things that I'm implying, but so that I never would be placed in the mindset to consider such possibilities.
French seems to be the theme for the day, as they're playing Edith Piaf right now. I saw La Vie en Rose recently on Netflix, it was quite good, not to mention I discovered that I quite like her music. May have to rustle up some CDs at some later point.
Nuke put the bank wire through, so I will be plunking down the monies for Hanzo-san on Monday and probably spending Tuesday wrangling paperwork. I have no idea how long all of this is supposed to take, but the idea that there will be a lump of metal in the driveway that belongs to me by sometime next week is incredibly exciting. On the same level of exciting is the idea that I'll finally be able to make it back into the office on a regular basis again. I love having the option of working remotely, but I hate actually doing it. I have enough trouble focusing to get shit done at the actual office. I look forward to reclaiming that separation between worktiem and hometiem.
I spent a glorious evening last night distracting myself from the lack of solid food (couldn't eat anything after 5pm) with about six hours of straight warcracking. I rolled a belf mage on Durotan this time around - brand new server, somewhat new race (I've done belfs before, but only up to level 11 or so), and a completely new to me class. I'm enjoying it rather immensely. I'm also taking the time to work through the Ghostlands instead of jumping to Tirisfal or the Barrens at the first opportunity, since it's a zone I haven't seen very much of before now. It had been so long since I'd played before now that I actually notice bits of where the game mechanics have changed and have it totally thow me off for a little while. At the same time, I'm also noticing bits that have improved since I left and came back. They had just barely put in achievements when I stopped playing, it's been kind of a trip randomly earning them as I level up a new character. I'm also rather tickled that they now reward you for my asstarded need to uncover every inch of the map in a particular zone before leaving it. I'm also amused, as usual, by Brewfest. I don't generally do holiday quests, but I do love the random game decoration for it. I also did a little reading up on the expected changes for Cataclysm. Looks like they're FINALLY overhauling Azeroth so that endgamers don't totally abandon it. Also it's nice to have a place change a bit in... how long has warcrack been running now? sixish years? I'm a little sad that they're destroying Auberdine though... Lot of memories tied up in that place. (Yes I know it's not real, shut up, I can still be sad about it. Hell I still miss Vancouver 2081, okay?)
All indications say to go get your pumpkins early this year, so I'm hoping to get a few over the weekend and probably decorate them with sharpie until it's time to carve em. Seems like the people upstairs from me never use the back steps, so I'm thinking of putting a couple small jacks out there. I'm also royally annoyed - seems I lost the good pumpkin carving kit I was given in the Implosion. Gonna have to replace that.... I can only wonder what else of mine is missing that I haven't discovered yet. I'm already pissed that I ended up tag-saling the purple rope lights and my copy of the extended Fellowship of the Ring. Le Sigh.
I have been trying for the very life of me to remember how I first learned to read music, and I can't. I know I picked it up about the same time I learned how to actually read, but I don't really remember how. I'm guessing Mom must have taught me at some point when I was trying to make the horrid noises I would make come out of her baby grand make some kind of sense instead of just being noise (she used to push my high chair up to the piano and let me have at) but I don't remember the how or when or anyone showing me where the hell middle C was or what the hell ever. Also note to self - must find power cord to keyboard tonight or tomorrow. I'm starting to get bit by the music bug again. Might be all the rock band and Karaoke.
When did hanging with Kidzilla and Mr. Lovebug become one of the highlights of my fortnight? *chuckle* Man, if I knew I was that starved for anklebiters to play with on a regular basis, I would have taken up babysitting as a side racket a while ago. Also note to self, once I'm mobile I need to trek out to the Stronghold one weekend very soon. Many reason for this, one being that Celia and Gwennie are highly entertaining when mugging for the camera.
Thinking of one last large ticket item for the end of this year if I can afford it. Not sure whether it should be an xbox w/rock band (now that I've figured out the sound bug on my TV) or a new laptop. Course, I've read more than one thing predicting ULTIMATE DESTINY APOCALYPSE this winter, so maybe I'll be a tad too busy being all like "oh god oh god We're gonna die" lol. Well, if I gotta get stuck somewhere this winter, at least I'm doing it within spitting distance of people I like. One month in and definitely no regrets on where I chose to move yet.
Two and a half more hours of this... Bored now, headachy, and want to go home and fall over. Feh. Maybe I'll go see what these folk have by way of salad. A banana chocolate chip muffin, though delicious, does not a lunch make.
Goose out.
