Yesterday, we had our very last raid of TBC. It wasn't out best raid ever (we did most of what we managed to crank out in Sunwell with about 22, many of which were, again, people respeccing from DPS/tanking to heal). I got my T6 boots off Eredar Twins (when Felmyst dropped triple Vanq, I wanted to cry... I am so tired of Vanquisher, and they're INCREASING the droprate for it because of Death Knights. Fuck that shit, man... fuck that shit), which puts me at 8/8.

So, TBC-specific goals:
• See all the content
• Accquire the Ashes of Al'ar from Kael in TK <-- sigh.
• Complete the following Tiered sets:
-- Tier 4 (Cyclone) <-- fucking Curator and the fucking champion gloves, I'm going to be running that shit at 80 for those fuckers >:\ Also need a matching belt, I hate five-piece sets.
-- Tier 6 (Skyshatter) visual
-- Tier 6.5 (Skyshatter-Sunwell) visual
---- Erupting Epaulets
---- Garments of Crashing Shores <-- this was the big one
---- T6 Belt
---- T6 Boots
---- Gloves of the Ancient Shadowmoon
---- Chain Links of the Tumultuous Storm
• Finish important TBC rep grinds <-- I just hit revered Netherwing last night, am halfway through revered Ogri'la, and 3/4 through revered Skyguard... those are the only three I'm missing, though.
• Get all the enchanting formulae <-- missing Agi to 2h from Arcatraz, Major Def to bracers from Netherstorm (that's really just me being super-lazy, to be fair), Boar's Speed, Cat's Swiftness, Potency, and... pretty sure that's it from TBC. Missing twenty total, but a lot of them are from AQ/MC so they don't technically count as a TBC goal

Not going to count Zenbi's goals, since I pretty much gave up on her when I main switched, but she was about the same distance from her goals (although her Outland reps were pretty much in the gutter comparitively, she's got the three I'm missing on Epadoa done, and she did both Scryer and Aldor, which I've been toying with doing on Epadoa for sniggles). So, that's not TOO bad... everything I have left to do, I can do on my own on my own time, with the exception of Curator, Arcatraz, and Al'ar... finding kids to run that with me is going to prove difficult =/

Also doesn't include the ones that would be nice, but weren't AS important to me as the above... Raven God mount, finishing up all the quests in BEM/Netherstorm I haven't bothered with yet, etc.

Of course, I still have a buttload of goals from pre-TBC to finish, but that's a list longer than I feel like typing up at the moment, so that one'll have to wait, lol... but it includes reputations, rare drops, questlines (Scepter of the Shifting Sands again lololol, still haven't even finished the first one rjawrelkdfasdkljfgrr), etc.

So, I've got a tracking number for my WotLK copy (copies, technically, although one is my mother's), and it's scheduled for delivery for some point today... but I'm going to be gone from like 1pm to like 3-4pm (doctors yay).. and knowing my luck a) that's when they'll try to deliver it and b) it'll require a signature so they won't just leave it =/ I can't find where on the UPS site it would tell me if it requires a signature or not though, but my guess is it probably does. Rargh.

Skullllllllllllllllll ♥♥♥

No shield for Vash, and ZA's on lock still so no trinket for Ruby, but Skull for meee~ omnomonomnomnom =O

I feel so much better now that I have a couple pieces I can swap around and still be hit capped, even if I feel like a giant douche for having two on-use trinkets :x Ah well. Skull om nom nom.

now, I go restart the mammoth hunters download, and then pass the fuck out holyshittired.

Sigh. First time I've been within spitting distance of a dead Shartuul since Ogri'la opened, and the server had to crap out at 25% lol :(

Ah well. I've discovered the only way for me to reliably deal with Dreadmaw is to Chaos Form cheese it basically as soon as he pops, lol. I'm okay with that, though. I wonder, if I had had enough crystal foci with me, and chaos formed on both Dreadmaw and Shartuul, would he have died before the reset? Hrm, something to try out in the future I guess.

Got woken up by crazy IM spam, courtesy of Aximand... I'd told Vash in the past that boops from AIM aren't likely to wake me up (and I really only have MSN and AIM so people can leave me messages since I don't really talk on it), but apparently that's not the case if it's lots of messages, cos' that makes it sound urgent, heh. Ah well.

Now I gotta figure out what to do with myself for the next few hours, since it's Tuesday. Maybe more sleep, maybe I'll keep catching up on the Saiyuki anime (which I stopped watching because of the shitty animation quality, not because I stopped liking Saiyuki :P), maybe start a new series entirely. Hmmmmm, so many choices.

I hate trolls.

I thought it'd be nice to have a challenge, something I've never done before... but I hate trolls. Nothting I'm drawing is coming out right... the sketch is fine but then I trace it to refine it and it all looks like ass again.

Ugh and to top it off, I still haven't even finished INKING Vyksos from last round, let alone gotten around to colouring it again.

I think I'll sit out of next art exchange, I'm just not... right for this anymore, it seems.

Kinda funny, the only art exchange piece I've done so far that I've been happy with was the coloured sketch from last round, but it feels so incomplete... like I've set myself up for a standard that I don't enjoy trying to reach, and the sketch was free and... fun, but the lines are strict and confined and forced.

Back to the grinding stone. I think part of the problem was that I slept 'til noon yesterday, so by rights I should have started getting tired around 1-2am... and it's now 8am and I'm wide. awake. I missed the raid yesterday because I was out with my father getting lunch and he stopped in at work for a few minutes (which turned into about forty-five) so I was twenty minutes late, and of course nobody has to leave during Black Temple anymore, not when it only takes like an hour and a half... so the cowl dropped, which wasn't the skull thank god, but it was still one of the two pieces of loot I can still concieveably say I need from BT. I wouldn't have gotten it anyway most likely, but it's the principle of the thing.. and now I'm sitting around at 8am when there's another raid (or is there?) tonight. Arjw0rjmfalsd.

I dislike temptation.

Hold that thought, and let me rewind. I dislike my incessant desire to Know What's Going On. Not necessarily on the world stage, but in intrapersonal relationships, it drives me crazy not to know. It takes a great force of effort to not try and find out information when I have an easy backstage pass... which I have. In fact, I have near-complete control of everything on the backend, short of the backend itself.

So when I have to log into my admin account on the DS forums to fix things (two things today; one person had whoever's webspace they were stealing bandwidth from find out and re-host a large version of the goatse image with their original avatar's URL, and someone else had a new avatar that was about 50-100 pixels too wide and was more than a little offensive to boot), I had to—once again—fight the temptation to snoop. And I did, so that's good.

But it's going to keep haunting me for the next week or so, assuming nobody mentions anything about all that shit I'm not allowed to see in that timeframe. All the things that might be happening behind closed doors, all the things I wonder if are even addressed, no matter how many times I bring them up to the people in charge, all the paranoia about the discussions about getting rid of Xella... all that.

It's a bad place to be. I hate temptation. I almost feel like I should be going to Gossips Anoymous meetings... but knowing my luck, everyone there would just gossip about everything they've heard from the other anonymites.

I also wonder sometimes what voice people read this shit with. Is it mine, if they know me? What is it if they don't? Does Matt read it with Michael Hall's voice? Wouldn't that be a treat for the psycho-analysts.

Ugh, speaking of which, I have to call about making an appointment with this Wang fellow.. supposedly a psyciatrist who specializes in people with sleeping disorders. Sounds peachy.

Spent the whole night on the CPAP machine... well I guess "the whole day" is more appropriate. Waking up to scratch an itch on one's nose and finding it unreachable due to a giant mask, not so much fun.

My sleep schedule is so fucked now, not quite sure what to do. Still v. tired, so I get the feeling the CPAP isn't doing a whole lot. Got a giant zit on the bridge of my nose where the mask rests, which is ugly and painful =/

Got Kurenai exalted on Epadoa last night, fucking finally. Been putting that off for WAY too long, ugh. I'm also only four mounts away from 50, which I didn't think I was that close to... Skyguard's only halfway through revered, Netherwing's towards the end of honoured, so not sure if I'll get that before WotLK, but I'm gonna keep doing those dailies 'til I finish up the reps I need (Ogri'la, Skyguard, Netherwing) so... yeah. Don't really want to go back to it later, since that's worked out so well for Timbermaw, Wintersaber, etc.

Still want my tiger ;_; And the spectral one, damn the fucking card game. Aargh.

Life's basically on hold again, cos' I'm getting overwhemled with the medical stuff so I'm trying to drown myself in the game (moreso than usual). Not healthy, but neither is spending my entire waking life thinking about, calling, visiting, or otherwise seeing doctors, soooo...

Continued my campaign for a black turtleneck today (Fig. A, Fig. B). Finished off the last episode of s1 of Dexter. Axi was relatively accurate when he said he'd think I'd enjoy the series, tho' the whole "season 3 not out on dvd yet" thing is going to prove something of an obstacle. Two weeks 'til Doctor Who s4 goes out on DVD, and it's at the top of the Netflix queue, so yeah.

Beta still hasn't ended, I'm beginning to think it's going to end at 12am on the 13th when WotLK goes live. I also haven't decided if I'm going to spend my 13th hanging out outside, waiting for the truck or not... because they tend to skip my house when delivering things, or not bother knocking and just leave a note. I hate that shit >:\

Went in for my follow-up about the CPAP, and.... I'm scheduled for another sleep study, this time to try BPAP (Bi-Level Positive Airway Pressure) because "we never go as high as 20 even though the CPAP machine can" and "it may give more positive results" and so forth. sdfj203ardfm.

Yesterday wasn't Shrimpin' Ain't Easy, maybe today will be. Fingers crossed.

Also, fuck California in its red-lined asshole.
