With my posts it's either feast or famine

And today is a feast readers!

What Song Should You Strip To?

I wasn't going to post again today...

But I found this unsettling: Anti-Chinese discrimination in WoW

Gamers, thoughts?

For myself, I can't really tell who's from where when I'm playing. Maybe this is just because I spend a lot of time trying to figure out the game, I'm not chatting with a bunch of different people. If I'm talking to someone, it's usually either someone I already know, a fellow guild member, or someone I'm grouped with.

So I can't see why people are jumping all over the Chinese for gold farming, when I can't even tell who is Chinese, American, Swedish, etc. I've always found it interesting talking to people from other countries playing games online at MSN. I especially appreciate their patience with me trying my high school Spanish on them. I just unnerves me to see something so enjoyable, like World of Warcraft, brought low by an ism.

I'd really like to hear what people have to say on this. Merry Part and Blessed Be!

I need to have something besides WoW to write about...

But the only other thing I seem to do lately is work, and I don't want this blog to turn into a constant gripe fest about that. Although I can share interesting customer names, I always enjoy that. I talked to a woman named Luigia today. Just like Mario's brother, but feminine. And she had their accent too. I was expecting her to break out into the Numa Numa song at any moment. And speaking of Numa Numa, I really should link Break.com (formerly Big Boys) to my blog too. Last night Jeff showed me this hilarious parody of the Switch commercials with someone's World of Warcraft characters.

Damn it! Back to WoW again! Not that I don't love it, but I know not everyone who reads my blog plays, so I want to talk about other things that are interesting also.

I'm looking forward to getting email back from Lisa. When I went to her blog last night she had written something like, "how do you catch someone up on 8 years of your life". And then I realized that it actually had been 8 years since high school. And it made me feel a little old. But it some ways it's nice too, to be able to look back and see how far I've come, how different I am, but in some ways still the same. I'm still Wiccan, still an optimist, but I like to think I've become a little more responsible. I've got a Bachelor's Degree, and gotten married. I made a lot of good friends, and gotten rid of a couple false ones. All in all, I have to say I'm pretty satisfied with the last 8 years.

My only real complaint would be that I could be someplace better career-wise. And at the age I am now, It's hard to see my way back to school to get a different direction. My life with Jeff is in Bradford, and if one of us goes back to school it should be him first. I think I'm starting to understand why if you see people in their late 20s in college, it's because they're still there, not because they left and went back. The people you see going back are in their late 30s-early 40s and they can go back because their children are now in school 8 hours a day and they have that time to themselves again. It concerns me a little that me ever getting to go back to school seems so far down the road, but it seems to me that career was never going to be my raison d'etre anyway. My greatest happiness has always come from family, friends, and love. I lack ambition I guess, or maybe the things I'm ambitious about aren't considered worthwhile in today's society, i.e. happiness, spiritual growth, community, and getting a level 60 character in World of Warcraft.

Damn it! Back to World of Warcraft again! Does anyone have the number for Online Gamers Anonymous? I think we need an intervention....

Just kidding! Merry Part and Blessed Be!

Addendum to original post:

** For some reason, I'm being extra picky about my grammar and spelling today. I've just edited this blog post at least 5 times. I don't know if I'm being more cautious because with Lisa's post I'm realizing that outsiders could be reading my blog or what, but it's very frustrating! **

Nice surprises

I love the Internet! The Internet and this miracle called blogging have helped an old friend from high school find me. So when I have time to revamp the blog again, I'll be linking her. This is just a quick post before bed. Grey, I plan to do the measuring for the network cables tomorrow after work, so I'll get you those numbers this weekend sometime.

That's all for tonight, Merry part and Blessed Be!

The Naming of the Computer

First I wanted to thank Paul for his suggestions. I seriously considered Nuitari. But then I was reading Dragons of Spring Dawning and they were talking about Takhisis in her form as the Five-Headed Dragon. This reminded me of another dragon/god from both D&D and also from Sumerian mythology. I think I shall call the new machine Tiamat.

At work, Merry Part and Blessed Be!
