Metaplanar Babel

This is it, the week I’ve been planning for several months. Jon and I are flying down to Texas to visit some friends from college. Neither of us has ever been to Texas, so not only do we get to see friends we’ve only been able to keep up with online, but we also get to experience a new city. I know cruinh has some stuff planned for us, including the Austin Air Guitar Finals. Woot! We’re also planning to force cruinh to watch at least one movie that he was supposed to watch a long time ago. (Upon doing a search for that movie, I discovered that there’s a sequel in the works. I don’t know whether to be ecstatic or horrified..) Hopefully he’ll show us some of the games he’s been playing recently; I especially want to see Jade Empire, which actually had a review on MSNBC. I’m sure there will be much playing of Tekken 5, perhaps some Hunter: the Reckoning, some other movies that he wants us to watch. Plus, I’ll get to show off the preciouss. Good times, right? Can’t wait, though I’m not overly fond of flying any more, thanks to all the craziness at the airports these days. Anywho, we’re flying out Wednesday and won’t be back til Sunday, so don’t expect much in the way of updates between then (I know, you’re all crushed, right? )

In other news, my warrior in WoW is almost old enough to know the meaning of life, the universe, and everything. She graduated to platemail at 40 and just got a new sword too, though I forgot to take a screenshot of that (I’ll put one up later, since it’s awesome looking). Overall, I’ve been extremely happy with how she plays and with the game in general (it’s amazing how much getting a mount changes the enjoyability of the game..). I’m not the best player in the world, but I’m learning - it’s just hard to learn how to tank when you’re consistently playing in instances that are too high level for you, without a healer. Still, I’m sure I’ll figure it out; so far, I tend to take the most deaths, so I guess I’m not doing anything too wrong. I’m also psyched because the changes on the Test server for warriors completely rock for the fury/arms, dual wield build that Jori is. Whoohoo~
