I speak waffles. Just sayin’. In general.
The last few weeks have been interesting to say the least. Now that work is fluctuating proper I can take time to write a little bit more. I hate to say ‘Hey guys I’m gonna write like everyday’ since that just feels like lying and I don’t wanna lie to you guys because I love you guys you know!? Anyway.
Things that are great:
Waffles.

The Lich King – NPC – World of Warcraft.
The Lich King encounter drops are up on WoWHead, and most everything is very impressive. Some items of note are pretty much everything so go ahead and drop in there if you’ve not read about them already.

I hijacked the above image and today’s post from WoW.com. The TL;DR of it all here is that Blizzard said outright that skipping to the end boss in instances is a no-no, whereas the feelings of practically everyone with half a brain disagree.
As a tank, and more specifically a main tank- I sit at 43k hp unbuffed, and around 55-60 in a raid situation. It’s pretty ridiculous. When I’m in a heroic- I’m there for the frost badges. Nothing else. The triumph gear is now being used to build gear for my SECOND off-spec, and gems for my THIRD alt. There’s nothing for me there.
The argument that skipping bosses in heroic OK and Halls of Stone is fundamentally ‘bad’ is rather laughable. Actually- I just realized a commenter on this same post at WoW.com said it best. You can find his statement after the break.

I just watched District 9 on DVD and let me tell you…
That shit was weird.
That is all.

I appreciate pepole’s patience while I sorted some stuff out earlier today- and furthermore I can’t begin to explain how great it is to be back home. Hopefully in time I can re-adjust my sleeping schedule. Although I’ve never been on a normal schedule to start with… Confusing, to say the least.
Sadly, today’s post is just as pointless as yesterday’s. I have a few things to do this Thursday- going to the Apple store, my doctor, the Waffle House, and maybe some light shopping at the mall are on the short list. Trying to slip into a routine and ignore the reality of my situation. I suppose I’ll also pretend to get some work done at some point but I’ll really just spin in my chair and then plug in my PS2 and play some Star Ocean.
Man. I miss that game.
Tomorrow- hopefully less rambling, a useful post, and some ranting about how I hate the Apple store.
Until next time.

It’s pretty ridiculous to think I got sick of the old layout after it being up for exactly one day. That’s either impressively indecisive or… actually I think that’s the only option here.
Apart from overuse of adverbs I’m working on the website and trying to keep my sanity in-check. This whole ‘new chapter of life’ thing is harder than it looks? I don’t know how Tom Hanks did it in Castaway, but man this is difficult.
Excuse me I’m going to put on my cashmere/silk blend robe and slide my feet in some italian slippers so I can walk to the kitchen and microwave some pizza.
Life is hard. Details at 11.
