Demons have over run the world - 10:58 AM
IntroWeek of trying and doing this weekly and so good, damn I could do with some sleep. But yeah to that latter.
Week O Work
Well my paper is almost written and looking good, well I hope so. Certainly looking better than it did before. I made a deal last week that I would have a whole pile of results out by the end of this week and get a free afternoon tea, but Margot who has a bit of a bee in her a bonnet every time you mention Karl said she wanted to see the results of the initial screen, and she would be away Tues, Wend and Thurs. Well great, so I will be working Sunday to do this so I can still make my Fri shout. Sometimes I think this place doesn’t want me to do any work.
Week O Social
I gave Neelam a massive bruise at soccer on Thurs. I really must learn to aim, to much power and too little control. Damn now I sound like the Americans. But not much socializing last week. I even lurked out of free drinks and pizza early. But last week, well we didn’t get in to much trouble and Kelly isn’t getting divorced, and she is still aloud to talk to us. But I don’t think she is allowed to drink with us for a while.
Week O WoW
WOOO HOOO expansion is here and I am no my way to level 70. But damn it, druid’s level slow. I am loving the new content and checking out all the new zones and stuff. Now just to find where that damn priestess wanted me to go, damn you think she could have given me a map. And never ever ask for directions in WoW chances are the person has no idea and is looking for it too, but they do know where the cave full of all the really mean monsters are and will tell you with a very straight face, that what you are looking for is right at the back of the cave and when you get to the back of the cave all the monsters turn friendly of there is a device that makes them normal rather than elite. Then giggle widely as you spend the next hour trying to get there, discovering they lied, and trying to get out again. All the time you are yelling son of a bitch. But in saying that, the next person that comes along – you can use the same story on them, and giggle widely about it. The Blood elves are well; damn their paladins are going to be over powered. Nice cool lore add though. But 62 and climbing.
Week O Being a better person
Hahahahaha my week of being a better person went out the window as soon as I received a small green box with 4 CD’s in it. So yeah hassle me about this and let’s see if I can improve on it.
The Book
I have now finished the book. It had its moment, and def. would not be a book I would choose to read. But in the end it was quite a good book where every one has a happy ending.. well every one that counted. It was almost like a soap opera near the end with unclaimed fathers suddenly appearing etc. It did point out how much it must have sucked being black in America in the 40’s, 50’ and 60’s. And how long it takes a group of people to forget the bad things. (though Bush is happening to them, so the bad things are still happening) And how lucky people in NZ have it. Over all I enjoyed the book but found it very difficult to relate to where it was coming from. It did have one universal flavour that I would relate to – sometimes no matter what, girls can be silly. Particular if there are boys involved.
Will have to find another book to read and write about. But I am going to post this one to my friend Lana so she can read it and write about it in her blog.
Summary
WoW has stolen my soul for a bit (actually I don’t think I ever got it back after I installed that first CD 2 years ago) But I can fight it more now, or I can delude myself into thinking I can fight it. But this week there is no trying to get away, it has sucked me in and holding me tight while whispering sweet things in my ear about how great it will be, and for the moment – I believe it.
