The Pantsless Jedi

As I write this, I’m in the recovery stages of a headcold. The worst seems to be over, at least. The weekend, I was nigh-bed ridden, and the only thing I did was laundry. I was gonna majorly clean house..but no. I spent the weekend playing WoW, filling my trashcan with phlegm, and seeing how crazy I could get my voice to sound.

On the WoW front, Junnu dinged 65 last week. WOO! First ding in MONTHS. I’m running Moloth through Sunken Temple with her later tonight.. but other’n that, I’m going to quest and quest until she’s 66 this week. My goal is one level a week. When she’s not in use, she’s earning up a TON of rested EXP, which gives me time to work on my other characters.

Valeth hit 41 last night. Cortizoen and Moloth got on, and we did some grouping in Dustwallow Marsh. Good fun! I’m kinda holding back and only playing him when the group is on and able to do stuff. I’ve also started a rogue (Zultonka, a troll.) which just hit 22 last night. Stabby stabby stabby!

I’ve finally finished A Game of Thrones, by George R. R. Martin. I think I’ve found a new favorite fantasy author. The way he’s able to interweave a VAST number of characters into one all-encompassing story is just.. magnificent. Very dark, lots of plot twists.. a hell of a lot more adult than I’m used to reading. It’s not “Hey, we’re a group of heroes on an unlikely adventure to save the world”, but more like “Hey, we’re a TON of normal people in this fantasy world..and look at this stuff that is happening to us.”

Someone described it as “FantasyPunk” and I can’t help but agree. I can’t wait to read the next installment (which I’ll be getting..soon!)

One minor note: I’ve added a shoutbox, which B33J, Ender and I are using as a chat program. feel free to join in.

Obviously, there’s a new theme here at pj.com, and I’m quite pleased by it. I’m giving this whole “web 2.0″ thing a shot.

There is one thing I’m needing to add, and that is a shoutbox. B33J’s work group isn’t allowed on IMs anymore, so we’re trying to figure out a way to circumvent it.

Oh..and the base image at the top could use some work too (Specifically, there is a code that switches it with 5 images on a rotation. I need to get rid of it.. or make some different images. ~_~)

… and get rid of the smiley border.

I’m looking at this theme.. I’d like everyone’s opinion on it.  Not that the current one is bad or anything, but my theme ADD is kicking in again.

It’s been almost a month since my last update.. I think I’m about due. Things are going quite well for me, overall. Not a whole lot to report on, home-wise. I come home, I eat, sleep, and game.. not in that order of course, but y’know.

In WoW, my warlock is up to 31. I just picked up a Felhunter from ye olde quest-giver. Speaking of ye-olde quest giver, I just started on a quest to get some spectacular robes. I have to go fight Satyrs and infernals in Desolace, but I should be okay. With my trusty sidekick Senor Felhunter gobbling up all the enemy magic, I’ll make short work of ‘em.

I started playing Junnu a bit and yet again, she’s being used simply to power through low level instances. I enjoy playing her, but.. for some reason, I can’t bring myself to put the effort into leveling her. Maybe one day I’ll get back into a groove. Shaman are fun to play, especially Elemental spec.

At work, it’s the magical time of year. “One month before contract renewal.” We won’t know whether we’ll still have a job until..the contract is signed the day of/after. It’s truly nerve-wracking. Sure, it SEEMS like there is plenty of work..enough to keep us around for another year, but we can’t be certain of anything.

This week, I did a test run on Eyetack’s private test stream. We ironed out some issues with my new audio setup, and I should be all clear for broadcast. I just need to practice. “RGR Radio…dammit.” much like saying “ATM Machine” the R stands for Radio, and the M machine. Force of habit to have 3 letters, then radio. RG Radio sounds odd to my ears. Maybe I’ll get into the habit of saying Real Gamers Radio.
