I’ll admit, I was already on the fence about whether to continue playing when Cata came out. I have a guild I lead, and I was interested to see the new starting zones. On the other hand, I’ve killed Arthas, and The Old Republic is on the horizon. Still, I figured I’d reel it back [...]

From Hellas to Olympus: And then the hammer came down
I got in one day of swimming (20 laps of our pool), and one day of biking (8.5 miles) this past week. Unfortunately, for most of it I was in a bit of a depressed funk. More after the break.
From Hellas to Olympus – Stuff is hard
So, I promised an explanation in my last post. The QQ parade can be found behind the cut.
Heavy lies the crown – Priorities
I play WoW for one reason and one reason only. To kick Arthas’ ass up and down Icecrown Citadel. In doing so, I recruited friends across the states and from the local area to help me out. From that start, of the original nine people I recruited, two remain. And I can fault none of [...]
Weightloss Wednesday – You realize it’s Thursday, right?
Yes I realize it’s Thursday, but since my work’s site filter recently changed to a preventative setup (I don’t recognize that site, so it’s blocked) I can’t write these at work anymore.

Weightloss Wednesdays – You try to run, you try to hide
After seeking out advise for how to break on through to the other side of the plateau, how am I doing?

As a kid, your vocabulary is limited. Mainly it is repeating back what was heard said at a previous time. [...]
Exploitation Now: Reselling tickets
This year, I bought season tickets in April to watch the Vikings play. I went to the playoff game and enjoyed and thought, what the hell, let’s go nuts. It cost me a little over 2K. Brett Favre has since signed with the team. The value of my tickets has gone up 25%. And I’m [...]
In defense of Shadow Complex and Orson Scott Card
Over the past few days, several blogs have mobilized people into boycotting Shadow Complex, because Orson Scott Card was consulted on it. And Orson Scott Card hates gay rights. Not rights for people to be happy, rights for homosexual people to marry. I presume he is also opposed to happy homosexual marriages, but I could [...]
An overview
There’s a few things I want to touch on with this blog. And primarily, it will be gaming. Video gaming for the most part, with a few ounces of table-top, a handful of crumbled-up board games, and a pinch of Magic the CCG. Aside from gaming, we’ll go into my other interests. Weekly weight loss [...]
