If I was coherent, I’d tell you all several things. I’d tell you:
1. How I happily went through 3 instances multiple times in the past few nights, including talking a group of friends into trying one that was rated 73-75, when we were all mostly 72 (with a kitty drood at 74), and we still won. Twice.
2. How even tho Exar had work on Thursday, Friday AND Saturday, he’s (75) still passed me (73-almost-74-dammit) in leveling. Bastard. No cookies for j00.
3. How I’m playing with Power Auras addon after Nibuca talked it up. So many uses, so little screen space. So much addon love.
4. How I’m really enjoying being a MM spec hunter again, even if I am forced to deal with craptastic arrows in Northrend since I’m not of a level for the “good” ones. (See #2)

Alas, I’m not coherant. I have a splitting headache that isn’t going away. Sense of humor’s still somewhat intact, though, and I took one of my employee’s to lunch as a going-away treat (she’s leaving to open her own store, which is total win for her and the town), so I’m still stuffed on Japanese steakhouse. So, I’ll have to post all the fun later. Maybe even with shiny pictures.

…maybe not so much with the pictures. >.> Depends on if I remember them. /sigh

My good friend Nytetyger lives in the OC. Yep, she lives in throwing distance (or at least cab ride distance) of Blizz HQ. As such, she gets to see the OC Register paper every morning, and giggle over the Blizzard news that’s reported within. Today, she gave me two links that I thought I’d share.

First, is a link to a slideshow showing off art being displayed at a nearby art college. Some nice stuff and wish I’d been able to see it close up myself. But the fun one? The Blizzard COO showing off his collection of toys and “stuff”.

You gotta love a company that has fun with it’s own products.

Okay, is it bad that I keep singing songs from Muppet Christmas Carol in my head? Except applying “Wrath” and “Lich King” to them? I’m at work, completely useless to do anything other than talk with other bloggers, watch Leafy unbox his CE, and vibrate along with Breana and in general act like a kid the day before, well, Christmas. So, since I am, well, useless for the moment, enjoy this song, which has been going through my head since I woke up this morning, giggling in glee, and I’ll see you all in Northrend.

So last night, I spent hopping between all my characters and looting them and their banks of anything useful that I wasn’t going to need come Thursday. I tossed a ton of stuff onto the AH and giggled as it sold as I was putting more things up. The banker character now has a clean mailbox and is mostly emptied out. All the money she was holding has been divided and given to Wrenn and Siana for “OMG LICH KING!” day. When I go home at lunch today, I’ll see what sold before the servers went down for maintenence, and what didn’t goes back up. Fun fun!

While I was running around in Stormwind on my banker, I saw the yells between the King and Arthas. After a while, I switched over to Wrenn then wandered down to the harbor.

I lined up with everyone else after I’d gone and talked with the King and everyone else. The one that made me blink a little was Broll Bearmantle. Part of his chat is this: “Are you heading to Northrend? I have never been there, but I hear it is both a beautiful and treacherous land. Sadly, urgent matters at home require my attention, so I will not be able to join Highlord Fordragon and his army on their journey.” After I blinked and re-read that, I looked over at The Boyfriend and asked “WHAT ‘urgent matters’?!” Seriously? “Urgent matters?” What on earth is going on over there?!

Then the shiny happened.

I watched it all for a while, being horribly horribly impressed and, well, geeking out. After watching that for a while, I wandered back off to continue the clearing of the banks. /sigh

Tonight, it’s the last of the bank organization, and the last of the laundry. Boy, do I lead an exciting life or WHAT?!
