Lunch Time Ramblings

[jdotmi]

I got home so early yesterday! It was surreal! I can't wait for the day I'm not working 4/10 anymore on a regular basis. As much as I am not a morning person, I'd love the 7 to 4 simply because I'd get home sometime before I have to go to bed at night!

Installed The Sims 2 and all it's expansions (no Stuff packs, as I have none) on the new computer. It runs like a dream. I only played for about half an hour, though, before hopping over to Civ IV land. Played that for an hour before hopping into WoW land to do one quest turn in and update all of my character profiles on RPGOutfitter.

Did some chatting with people online during all of that. Alt+Tab on the new machine doesn't even phase it at all. It's a glorious thing.

So, today, not sure what I'm doing. I'm taking a small WoW break because I need a bit of a breather. Letalli's going to hit 60 within the next three weeks tops, and we have a Sunken Temple run scheduled for Friday evening. All the quests but one have greened out on me already for that. After that I'm going to grind Timbermaw faction up to at least Friendly and then probably go back to the Western Plaguelands to do the AD quests there.

I think I'm going to do some more Sims 2 gaming tonight. I need to get Pleasantview all set up on the new machine. Have to add Sim State University to it as well as Downtown and Bluewater Village. Need to marry off Don to Cassandra, get Mortimer and Dina engaged (but I don't get them married at her place), get Nina started on her career path, get Daniel and Mary-Sue's relationship patched up, get Lillith and Angela friendly with one another, get Brandi un-pregnant and make her meet Darren Dreamer.

I should also go back to the Realms Beyond game for Civ IV that I'm playing. I'm about halfway done with it, I think. I'll probably get pasted by an AI soon anyway. But I want to finish it and write up the report so that it's ready on reporting day. I already know a few things I did spectacularly wrong, but I've never played at Monarch level before anyway.

Well, it's almost time for my lunch to be over and for me to get back to work. So, off I go!

I've been pretty bad with my playtime lately -- in that there hasn't been much of it. My intentions to level up this weekend went by the wayside as more things had to be done around the house, plus I'm semi-under the weather so I've been somewhat lethargic lately which doesn't help.

I have, however, been leveling my warrior on Feathermoon a bit -- he's up to 52 and is closing in on 53. I'm debating moving him to your shard, rather than leveling the rogue up. We'll see. The wife told me it was OK to do it -- just now have to decide if I'm ready to move him out of the big guild he's in on Feathermoon.

Well, our guild would never turn down a warrior, we've got more priests than tanks at the moment. (Go figure)
However, the important thing is to play and have fun. We'd love to have him though. (We're small enough that we're just now getting into ST and then Scholo/Strat).

Our kidlet just started 7th grade so we're all up about getting him back on the straight and narrow. So I understand the whole "life getting in the way" thing.

I know that you and hubby play, does kidlet? Just curious.

Yep - he's a lvl 36 Hunter. Of course, he's way not quite so serious a player as I am. But it's fun to play together as a family.

Ah that's very cool. One thing that I wished for growing up was that my family could get into the games that I enjoyed -- RPGs (pen & paper and computer), but that never happened. I was like an alien born into that family, I was very, very different from them.
