Family Visits =D

Well things have been going quite well of late. Amber is getting quite big and I'm looking forward to meeting my little bundle of poop.

Work has been going pretty well, not too many annoyances, no late nights, and extra leave days... thank you Trevor!

Tomorrow we are headed to the old home town of Moose Jaw where my family will be meeting together for the first time since my wedding.

Avery is moving to Regina very soon which makes me happy, even moreso it was quite the surprise.

Anyhow I'm going to read the first issue of Warcraft magazine I just got and some Harry Potter.

Poopsocking

Well last night was pretty sweet. I did something I haven't done in a LONG time and that's play wow till the wee hours of the morning.

That flock web browser I talked about on my last post is pretty sweet as far as social networking goes. It keeps all your sites like Facebook, My Space, Twitter etc. open at all times and lets you know when there are updates. The only problem is there's a lot of websites that have plug ins that don't work on it. Which is strange considering it's based off firefox and made by Mozilla so I dunno.

Today I'm going to do something I haven't done since like February, listen to the Casually Hardcore podcast and chillax.

Well I haven't updated this in quite some time but I'm trying out this web browser called "Flock". I've used it a few times before so I'll see how it is, it was pretty annoying before but this is a newer version.

Hey all

The wife and I are all settled down out in Edmonton. Loving it so far though I gotta say the first week or so was a bit of a shock for me I think. But now all is starting to be as it should.

She and I have been leveling some Alliance toons as of late. I know we're betraying our lifetime of being horde but sometimes being bad feels so good. And it's nice to play a character with good posture that isn't a Blood Elf for once.

We're really enjoying the experience so far. I'm doing the Squidface Mage thing and she's doing the Human Paladin. Prot paly/mage is like power leveling it's so completely overpowered. But doing something as simple as changing from Horde to Alliance has done a lot to refresh the game I've loved for 5 years. Especially from the point of view of a guy who loves the lore of the game.

I think today put into sharp focus how much you miss when you only play one faction in the game your whole play time. We did the Wrathgate event and man was it EPIC. I mean it was already pretty epic on Horde side but fighting through Undercity with Varian was totally a great time.

We've also made the commitment to start reading the quest text for every quest we get in Northrend on these toons. Frankly in the rush to get to 80 I usually just walk up to the !, click accept and go. But since I started reading all the quests I find I'm having a pretty good time. Naturally things take a little bit longer but that's a pretty good trade off in that I now know WHY I'm supposed to be slaughtering half the population of the continent.

Frankly I'm looking forward to getting to 80 and gearing up again. It's something I haven't done for a long time. I haven't been a raider since I left Unholy Aura last year and frankly it's something I miss a bit. Though my reasons for leaving still stand I miss being part of a coordinated group meeting up to accomplish a goal. We shall see what happens with this new server of mine.

Well that's all for me. Should probably get some sleep so I can be alert for Casually Hardcore and Octale and Hordak. Night =D
