Feeling groggy today from the fun last night.  Coffee helps, I hear.
 
 
Last night I couldn't log on because I was at my brother's birthday party.  My brain isn't correctly functioning.  My wife was going to spend all day with her mother, nieces, and nephews, but she's not feeling so good and will stay home.  I was planning on being on pretty much all day, but now I have to take care of the wife.  Which is sad, because I'm also catching whatever she has, so I'm not feeling so good.
 
I'm really hoping I can put a lot more time in.  I wanted to run PVE content tonight or do some RPs, and I had been planning on it all week.  So I'm looking forward to getting into the game, getting my admin stuff out of the way, and getting to play a LOT.  I know responsibility is a part of life, but I sincerely miss being able to just log in and play for an entire day.  It's definitely not my choice to keep stopping and starting.  Honestly, I think people like to interrupt me for relatively bad reasons because they don't understand that this is how I unwind.  Interrupting a guy playing a video game is the stuff of infomercials and magazine articles, but you never see it portrayed positively that someone is constantly interrupted while reading a book.
 
Sorry, rant over.  I'm just waking up, so I'm not in the best mood.  I was just looking forward to some serious super-kill therapy today, and now IRL is conspiring against me.
 
Still, I'm hoping to be on quite a bit today, so I'll see you all in-game!  Hopefully, I can relax into the game at some point and just get back to the basics; getting some friends together and doing what I love.

I feel so much better now in my circle. We had a bit of drama and I make it my policy to know all sides of a story. I was missing one side though but once I got it everything became much easier to handle and that was a big relief.
 
Communication and mutual respect saves the day again! RP is a place where everything is made up and the points don't matter. So let's have fun!
 
Sunday is going to be awesome. I got one new member yesterday! RP starts at 9 PM est! Be there or be Square!
 
Yesterday RP was light due to the above issue and recruiting. But it was funny to do an Abbott and Costello like routine at the Black Hoods Bar. Rocio and Dax fighting over a girl who was interested in neither.

I understand your frustration Vic.  I pretty much haven't gotten to play since last weekend, with the exception of an hour or so on Thursday evening.
 
That said, I hope you're able to squeeze some time in today, and that you don't get too sick!
 
Anyway, off I go to log in and try to sort out my auction house and stuff.  I really hate the two day limit on the auction house.  It makes it really hard to keep up with things if you're a busy adult and aren't able to log in every day.  I'd much prefer that it were 7 days instead.

			Good morning, coffee people! How's the science?Nothing of interest in real life. I have today off, which is nice. My S.O bought some Cap'n Crunch yesterday so I just had to have that for breakfast. Quaker made a healthier version of it so I might buy that next time.In WildStar news, I finished Southern Grimvault earlier this morning. Halfway through to level 49 so I am expecting to hit the level cap sometimes today. Granted, I have some work-related reading to do so I have to bounce back and forth between gaming and real life. It is a nice balance as it keeps me from getting bored with either. Sometimes I wish Mondo Zax was an Exile or at least part of a neutral faction. My fanaticism is real.More to do! More to do! Also, more to do!P.S This: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8V0NBkwiBo

Morning Tea:  Capri (lemon spice)
Breakfast:  Skipped again....I fail.
 
In Game:  Got Nora esper to 14 last night, yay housing!  (I am kicking around the idea of switching my "main" from spellslinger to esper, I really seem to struggle with SS for some reason and we have a ton of them in the guild anyway.)  Guild matters going smoothly, good activity if still West Coast oriented.  Even had a decent turnout for Friday night, hooray! (For a lot of us, Friday is date night/kids night/offline time, so often pretty quiet in game.)  Guess no date nights this week? I know hubby and I were too exhausted to go anywhere ourselves...other than Nexus, of course.
 
Out of Game:  Put in for a position that would have me moving to England.  I don't expect to get it, but would be very interesting if I did!  That occupied most of my work day, finalizing the details and package for that.  Tried talking a good student out of dropping out of the master's program, unfortunately she decided screw it and flew to Dubai yesterday instead.  *sigh*  Been working with her a couple years now, so watching someone just - toss their academic degree out the window at the last minute is really hard.  Today, very busy in the World of Reals - so probably not in game today.  But getting things done offline and also dinner with friends, so can't complain about that!

Groggy indeed....
 
I actually sprained my leg the other day and spent all of yesterday and day before taking care of a last minute "omg can you please do this piece for us, our other artist bailed" which I feel silly for agreeing to do, but I love working with the guys...but it was a huge headache and made my uc flare up a little  as well(wooo stress!)
 
Kickin off the day with starting on dailies, then hoping to get some people into doing some PvE or PvP today, vets, normals, whatever people want to do! ^_^ It's still early (I usually don't wake up at this time fo day either lol.
 
I got a wicked world drop for my tank recently that I'm really happy with (Rocktown Rock-Solid Power Sword)
 
Also got 2 new members this week that are lovely people, so excite! Going to be a fun, nice relaxing weekend on Nexus
*puts feet up and sips tea*
 
Oh oh oh! and I made a bacon egg and cheese empanada so delicious! nom nom nom nom

*hugs Norah* When I was in College for three years, I suddenly found something I liked better. So instead of finishing and getting my Bachelors I did that instead.
 
I always feel like we push some kids into academic careers too early. Once we mature we inevitably will start adjusting our course. Rarely do high school kids know what they really want. :lol:

But it's not always a given for everyone to start or finish their academic careers later on.
In most cases it's easier to immediately start College/Uni when you can.
But as you said, requires you to have an idea what you want to do.

			I just discovered that Farside is even more awesome as an explorer.  :D

I'm here, just not real awake. 
Logged in for a short bit yesterday, Thayd seemed kind of empty. Not sure what is going on yet today.

Just finished my coffee and toast, about to indulge in a generous piece of the delicious hand crafted Portuguese cheese my parents gave me for my birthday (queijo Sao Jorge for any that care. It's only the best cheese ever).
 
In Wildstar, got my lowest level character to 18 last night, hoping to get to 20 tonight. She's my architect, so i'm looking forward to being able to make some higher level gathering plugs because i'm full up on the t2 ones all my alts have lol.
 
Yesterday, I gave my husband the ultra-rare "game uninterrupted all night" evening while I went out to spend time with my friends and took the kids with me. Tonight, he gets the kids while I go to work for a couple of hours.

If only more RL people understand that for us who take the time to play this game is actually a relaxation tool for us, I think they would leave us alone more often! Now that I have been promoted in my nursing career, I haven't been able to log on as much during the week, so when weekend comes, it's shut the doors and putting up sign "Do Not Disturb or you will be Stunned".
 
I have been known to use my PTO for 3 day weekends and week off just to play my game. To me, that's no different than others taking time off to go fishing or play golf. It's whatever works for the individual that gives that relaxation feeling.
 
And Vic, you are such a good husband! Way to support your wife!

She loves housing, but our mutual OCD in games means we level slowly, especially together.

Honestly though, if you're going to play games with your significant other, being able to slow yourself down and wait for them is critically important both to your enjoyment of the game and for your relationship.  I applaud you and your wife for doing this for each other.

I know it isn't really what is being said but I heard this song and it said like they are saying "lopp" a lot even though they aren't and I just got through the lopp wedding chain quest.

I'm also thinking about getting a mechanical keyboard as the left shift seems to be dying on this one as it doesn't seem to want to let me sprint half the time, the problem is I'm trying to find a cheap(er) ones and holy crap are mechs expensive. From the general consensus I seem to get, I'm trying to find one with brown switches.
