World of Warcraft

is a very powerful drug....

Jeff helped me start a character on his account last night, just so I could get a feel for the game before I decide to invest in a new computer, primarily for the purpose of playing it. So I made a human warrior, named Leanora. I woke up at 7:45 this morning and just now managed to pull myself away! What the hell!!?? Now it's not that I've never had a video game do this to me before (Sims - what happened to the daylight?) But I didn't expect to get hooked so quickly, especially on a game I thought I would be bad at. And I'm not great, I died a lot, but eventually someone gave me some help finishing a couple quests. (He was starting a second character and so was about the same level as me) And the controls were more like Diablo 2 than I could have hoped. So I have been having a lot of fun, despite that fact that it's 1:30 in the afternoon, I've had a nutrigrain bar so far to eat today, and frankly, friends, I do smell a little.

Anyway, I'm mainly posting this hoping that Wendy will read it and either send me her name or put my name on her friends list. I am going to get away from the computer to eat and shower, and maybe watch an episode or two of Nip/Tuck. But then I am sure that this new addiction will suck my back in. Hopefully I can pull myself away before Jeff gets home so I can start dinner.

Merry Part and Blessed Be!

Free Beer!

I won free beer this morning from our local radio station, WESB! Every Wednesday they ask a really easy question. This morning the clue was, this Sunday is the first day of the new year, and the question was "What is the exact number of hairs on Frank Williams' head?" The answer was 2006. So I get to pick up a free 6 pack. I don't know what I'll do with it, since I don't drink beer, probably give it to my girlfriend. But I thought it was cool because I won something.

anyway, I'm at work so I have to go, but I just wanted to share my news about the free beer.

Merry Part and Blessed Be!
