another day, another day of work, another expansion for world of warcraft released. flew around the old world a bunch today, and it was really neat to see everything from a different angle. the new stuff has been highly enjoyable up to the patch and now that it's hit and we can fly around and go to the new zones... it's really exciting. i've been playing this game for 6 years now, and it's just incredibly surreal and bizarre to see that the zones, areas, quest hubs, etc. that we've been so used to for the past half a decade are now totally different.

we won't be really playing for reals until tomorrow, because then christin will be able to level with me and elijah. that will be fun. speaking of elijah, he and i will be going out tomorrow in the morning to look for a job for him, it'll be his first real job. if he can find one before his flight out [a week from tuesday], it looks like he'll be staying with us indefinitely. so that's news. helps us with rent, helps him with life in general, etc. anyway, i'm going to sleep early tonight, so that's about it. i may write a bit more before then.

note: and now that i come to write tonight's blog entry, i shall actually post this one from yesterday. blah!

Hot Stepper

and so begins the packing. well, at least the organization before the packing. going through our stuff in big boxes, etc. and arranging it all and getting it ready to be moved to the new place. exciting! the rest of most of my day was not eventful, however. elijah and i played some wow, i went to work which was annoying, and did a bit of homework as well. i swear, sears is one of the worst managed companies i've ever worked for. no one seems to know what they're doing.

maybe i'm working too hard, but when i walk by literally 5 people doing absolutely nothing with a handful of stuff that has to go back to different departments [which is not actually my job, but i can't make the people who are supposed to do this job do it]... and they don't even look at me or offer to help or anything. it's mind-boggling. truly mind-boggling. anyway, not to complain. i make a decent wage in terms of the difficulty of the job vs. the amount of money i'm paid hourly. the hours suck, but it's work. going to be looking more intently for a better one once we get settled in the new place. cataclysm in 10 minutes, but i'm going to sleep. goodnight!

Deeper And Steeper

the guest pastor today at trinity reformed was great, and i thoroughly enjoyed and was blessed by his message. he discussed a portion of scripture that, honestly, i would normally breeze past. it's the first 7 verses of joshua chapter thirteen, talking about dividing up the currently unconquered and not-yet-possessed lands amongst the israelite tribes. there was a lot to say about god doing the work and providing the victory, all joshua needed to do was divide the land up. despite the fact that he was far from the ideal candidate [he was very old], God chose to use him.

elijah seemed to enjoy the service as well. he hadn't been to church for about six months or so, and honestly i can't really blame him. the only church nearby that isn't an abomination [read: catholic] is entirely in french and hard for him to really glean anything from the message and fellowship with the saints there. i think it's good for him to be able to go to a proper church. anyway, today was fun. after church, we ate lunch at kfc [don't ask... i had a hankering] and headed home to catch up on the amazing race and community. then i caught up on homework and cried as the chargers got totally destroyed by the evil raiders.

stupid raiders. seriously. ugh.

all in all, it was a great day today. lots of time spent with friends, christin and i got some time to ourselves, and elijah and i got to get our new characters on wow to level 30 and get dual specced before 3am, which is an accomplishment in and of itself considering i wasted some time selling off crap from my main's bank and sending stuff to a bank alt. good times. tomorrow we'll get into a few instances, which will be cool, before i have to go to work at 5pm. should be excellent! until then, this is me, signing off. wow, that was lame. don't ever let me do that again. goodnight.

SunnyD & Rum

today was long. too long. i'm actually insanely tired right now, just sitting here thinking of what to write here, but i can't think of anything. i did what i said, in the sense that we messed around and we made another video, which is on alissa's youtube channel. check it out here, it's pretty awesome and all that jazz. she's hyper-tastic. got home at around 3:40 and did my best to clean up the house a little bit, because apparently rhonda's got people coming over here tomorrow to look at the place. yeeeeeah... no comment. wait no, not really. comment.

it's kind of annoying, honestly, partly because it's on a sunday and partly because it's just very inconvenient for us to have to be here when she's trying to sell the apartment we're currently paying rent for. meh. and now i've just realized that my homework is officially three days late. i hope they accept it three days late, because man. i just completely forgot to do it tonight. i knew it was going to be two days late yesterday, because i couldn't have possibly done it last night, but now i'm just a failure. bah! work was boring, but not too slow. kept me busy. big easy for dinner — it was delicious! goodnight.

today was a good day, i didn't even have to use my a-k. wait a second... i always have to use that. it doesn't matter if it's a good day or not. i think i just wanted an excuse to reference ice cube. anyway we made this today. it's excellent and bizarre. starring me as eugene and elijah as eugene's buddy, samuel, as well as our nieces who just kind of dance with us in our 'crew' of peeps. it's a new thing. we wrote an awesome rap song to go along with it as well, so you should probably watch it and like, dance at your computer while it plays. seriously. no one will make fun of you.

christin just pulled an enormous tick off of one of alissa's cats. eww. off her face too... nasty. we are on the eastern shore yet again, babysitting for our nieces and nephew at bob's place while he and donna are having a night out at a company party. good times! we made that video, at pizza, and we just got done watching the newest iteration of 'a christmas carol' with jim carrey. you know, the animated one. i had seen it already but christin and elijah hadn't. they liked it. so yeah, it wasn't the most exciting day in the world or anything, but dude! new video!

tomorrow should be interesting. we may record another video, maybe for alissa's new youtube channel that she started last week. then when bob gets back i'll have to head back to the other side of the bay [the western shore?] since i have work from 5pm-closing again. hope i get off at a reasonable hour, and i hope we finally get yogg+1 down and get that much closer to the drake we have been working on. blah! cataclysm tuesday. so excited! we move next weekend. also excited! got paid today, which was wonderous. and now it's bedtime.

another day, another dollar. it's been almost a week since i'd worked, and it was almost like i didn't have a job again. or like i was on vacation or something. anyway, it was strange. even though i was scheduled until 11pm, i actually got off around 10-something and headed back to the house. that's a good and bad thing. i get paid tomorrow, which is excellent, and it looks like our funds are doing a-okay for this month and next. just trying to take things slow and carefully in order to make sure the move and everything goes smoothly.

today, i introduced elijah to the wonders and greatness of the cheese log. mmm. amish market. i'm on a bit of a pretzel kick lately, i just freaking love soft pretzels. it's a problem! we went to visit christin at work after that and hung out with her for a bit while we enjoyed our cheesy goodness, and the babies were being good for her. one was a bit of a pain, but one always is. then we went to the house and leveled up our new toons some more, doing a bit more of the new content. dungeon revamps are totally boss, and the way quests work in dungeons are wonderful as well.

note: unfinished blog is unfinished! posted late due to noobery.

Oh Yeah, Baby!

today was a lot of chores and a lot of quests. we re-subbed elijah's wow account in preparation for the upcoming expansion next week, and we started leveling some new characters. when christin got home, she joined us and we started some others to play with her, since elijah and i will be going quite a bit faster due to having more time to level up. good times. not really much to say. christin got her new woot! shirt in the mail today, which is awesome, and she had a meeting with rachel to meet her other kids and her husband. cryptic! anyway, tomorrow will be amish market, dog bath for monster and work from 5-11pm. boo that part.
