I have a twitter, it's amneufeld -- so stop bugging me to get a twitter already ~.~;

About 3 hours ago Ian got a phone call from his boss,
"Yeah, the company we do the foot scanner with wants you to come see them in LA again."
'When?'
"Tomorrow. And bring Anna."

XD

We leave at 6am tomorrow. Three cheers for trips on less then 12 hours notice! I'll be online working as usual, just from California.

Congratulations, you've won the weekly Magnificent Bozbarland Zorkmid Lottery! No, this isn't some sort of strange GUE spam sent by marauding marketing wizards, you've actually won something real (well, in a virtual sense)! In this case it happens to be 10,000 Zorkmids. It's automatically been added to your balance so no need to fret about paying for delivery or customs charges. Just part of the service :)

You should immediately tell everyone else about your good fortune so that they can line up to rub against your shins for luck

The Lottery Coordinators

Last Friday was an atrociously bad day at work; let's hope this Friday is a little better.

I am going to E3, if anyone's also attending and would like to meet up. I'm going with RPGamer so I'll be working while at the show. Also looks like Vbulletin is finally getting off the ground, yay.

Ulduar is going well this week but 4 of our normal 6 interrupters didn't show up for last night's attempt on Vezzak so we got him to 7% on our best attempt but enough people had to go we called it. Maybe Monday.

Almost done Season 6 of DS9. Since it only has 7 seasons, perhaps I'll move on to Voyageur next.

Broke into the top 350 in Legends of Zork, but it's getting tough to get spots now. Hoping to Ascend this weekend in Kingdom of Loating.

Need to play my DS more. Apollo Justice is really good and I haven't gotten back to it since the move.

So we parked the car in the driveway after running around on Saturday only to realize the new video cards we'd purchased needed better power supplies then the dinky ones we had. Lo and behold was our confusion when the neighbors, who were supposed to be gone Saturday, had parked behind us. They claimed they would not be out until NEXT Sunday -- both past their time (Friday is the 1st) and in direction opposition of what the landlord said. Calling up the landlord, he claimed he never gave us any firm dates. Talk about backpedaling to the extreme. If they're not out by tomorrow, I'm going to be quite steamed.

Ulduar received some tweaking in yesterday's patch. Between that and consistent raid attendance we're now 8 bosses in after one night, surpassing again last week's progression in a single night. Looking forward to trying the Lieutenants this week, and possibly Yog himself.

Work has been good albeit slow this week. I haven't been feeling so hot so the day seems to drag somewhat. Need to re-do several posts and reports today since a fair amount of packing will be done tomorrow. Thankfully since we're just going upstairs we don't need to wrap all the dishes quite as diligently as we did moving cross-country.

Glad to have my desktop back; makes things just easier in a lot of ways. Plus I don't grind grind through various activities. Ian's happily playing Fallout 3, though he needs more heatsink goop on his processor.

Already further in Ulduar this week after Thursday then we did the entire last week. Progress is good and much easier on my repair bills.

Neighbours will actually be out today, so Aaron is coming tomorrow to bring some of the heavier furniture upstairs. Monday we're getting the internet connection moved upstairs in the morning.

Might get a new video card today.

Got through six of the bosses in Ulduar by the end of the week. Tough instance.

Been paging through Neil Gaiman's American Gods. Interesting thus far.

Almost done season 8 of Law & Order. Been watching Britain's Got Talent as well.

Love you Ian.

Jaw's feeling better, just a lot of tenderness. Mostly the problem lies in the fact that I tend to rest my chin on my left hand while reading the minotor -- I'm sure anyone can figure out why this activity would not be kosher currently.

My father in law sent me one of his Word of the Day emails because it was a French word :P Had an interesting quote:
Truth, in matters of religion, is simply the opinion that has survived. -Oscar Wilde, writer (1854-1900)

More Ulduar tonight; I'm going through a ridiculous amount of gold on repairs currently between our 10 and 25 man runs. Farming Hodir rep at least keeps me flsuh of ~100g or so a day. I need to go through my bank alt and sell off what I've been stockpiling.

Work is bonkers right now; we put out the first of a line of several Launch patches for Cross Fire.

Got the left side fillings done today. I hate getting freezing needles. Had enough of that in my toes to last me a lifetime. My jaw is incredibly sore from keeping it wide open. The dentist said if they take out my wisdom teeth they'd have to knock me right out. Lovely.
Drinking through a straw until the numbness wears off.

My video card fried, which seriously pisses me off.

Patch 3.1 is today, which means I'll be doing a ton of Ulduar over the next several days.

I'm hungry and can't eat.

After doing a fair bit of reading, that who FTC investigating seems to be Kotaku's rumourmongering. Guess they called them up for a comment and nobody else corroborated?

Clerks II ended up being the best out of the three movies by far. W. bored the hell out of Ian and Milk was good but had a tough time keeping my attention. Great story, bad cohesion and pacing.

Should finish up Season 5 of Law & Order tonight. The last episode uses the infamous Twinkie Defense; should be awesome to watch.

Thinking of a multiplayer game to play with Ian and taking suggestions. Needs to be co-operative, doesn't need to be a perpetual (online) world. RPG or RPG elements preferred.

We're giving some final thoughts on the move to the upstairs half of the house. We'll call up the landlords tomorrow, but Danielle grabbed a bunch of boxes from work today. It's more expensive but has a ton more space. TON. We didn't even realize there was a third floor in the house.

So Ian and I went to the store and decided to grab some movies. After a long perusal, we grabbed Milk, W., and Clerks II.

In the car on the way home with bagels:
Me: *reading off the ratings, snickering at the Clerks II stuff*
Ian: You saw the first one, right?
M: Yeah, we watched it together. So which of these three will we watch first?
I: Clerks II!
M: While I'm eating...? No.
I: Gay people are more relevant to my interests then W.
M: Milk it is!

XD

"I don't need you to tell me I'm a son of a bitch, been one for a long time. I like it -- the hours are good and there's no heavy lifting."
"If I open a new account I get a free toaster!" 'Two slices or four?' "Four -- AND if I deposit 50k I get a free VCR." 'You deposit 50k, I'll call Internal Affairs!'

Classy.

Finished season 4, waved goodbye to Michael Moriarty. Sadface, I really liked him. The new guy is considerably more abrasive, and haven't warmed up to his aggressive tactics.

Four day weekend coming up, though I'll be doing some work so everything doesn't go bonkers.

Ian will be home late tonight. Spent most of yesterday evening on Skype with him from his hotel.

Ian's going to be gone Wednesday and Thursday, so spent most of the evening with him (soon as he came home we went out driving and grabbed some food). I have a four day weekend coming up, though I know I'll be working at least some of it.

The upstairs neighbors are moving out. We inquired to the landlords about the cost; it's more then the basement but seems to be bigger. We're gonna get a chance to look it over hopefully Friday and make our decision. Moving upstairs also means having the front entrance, the driveway, control of the mailbox, less grass to mow, as misc nice, minor perks. Plus hey, our annoying neighbors are clearing out! \o/

There's a new FMA series out, watched the first episode with Ian tonight. It's going to be much closer to the manga then the original series was (which got ahead of the manga and took it's own path), so I'm pretty stoked to see how things go. I'm pretty sure the intro song is done by a band that also did a Bleach intro.

It was 80 degrees and I spent most of today under the blanket with sweatpants on. I don't get it.

Watching old seasons of Law and Order. Almost through Season 3. It's good background while I'm doing some random grinding in WoW or writing or doing steady work.

I like the teapot that my mother bought for me. Two perfect cups.

There's a couple filler episodes en route. I watched the first one today (Ian and I take some time to watch the weekly Bleach and House episodes during Saturday afternoons after the podcast) and while entertaining at first the novelty did sort of peter off by the end.

It did bring up something I've always been wondering though. There's the athletic girl that always used to hang out with Ichigo, yet she hasn't been established as a character with any sort of residual rub-off effects of his Death God powers. There's been very strong/broad hints she's sensitive to ghosts and by extension Hollows (in the same strength range as Karin), but it's never really elaborated upon whether that's a natural talent or rubbed off.

So, I went to the dentist today. I hadn't gone in...oh, probably four years or so. I believe I went once right after me and Ian were married (we were living in the tiny Princess Street apartment for sure) so it was long due.

No surprises, I need a second cleaning later this month. I also have my very first cavity! Since I'm nearing 28, I figure that's pretty good. Guess all that fluoride in the water and that shitty pink liquid the school made you swish paid off, eh?

The bad news is, the clicking and pain in my bottom jaw is a result of it more or less shifting inwards; anyone who's seen my sunny smile could figure that one out, as my front two bottom teeth almost completely overlap. While the dentist noted everyone's jaw does this to some extent, he believes my wisdom teeth have possibly crowded out the rest of my teeth, which has led to my current issues. I have a referral to an orthodontist who will tell me if I either need a split plate (HI MOM) or if I need braces. He also warned me there was a strong possibility they'd have to remove my wisdom teeth -- bleh.

As I wave goodbye to my entire pay for March, I can't feel like the money isn't well-spent though. Once the bottom jaw is straightened out, I may have to invest in a guard to wear while I'm sleeping so my muscles don't tense up and wreck all the work. But that's relatively inexpensive all things considered.

While I was at the mall I also picked up another two-in-one Nora Roberts book. This time it's Captivated and Entranced, which is the first two Donovan cousin books. I have the third and fourth, so I sort of read the series backwards, but c'est la vie.

Now I need to get caught up on some work. GameGuard + hyperactive anti virus = a whole shitload of tech support posts. Thanks hackers.

In Manitoba.

Had flight delays, no surprise.

Zzz. That is all.

Flying to Manitoba today. Will be gone until the 1st of Jan. Bringing the laptop so we'll be on intermittently. Gmail is the best way to get ahold of me (pawsrpg), but my phone number's in a locked post in May as well.
