So I hit level 72 today on my Tauren Hunter. Feels good man, though she is under geared still, I'm steadily working on it :) Sitting pretty on 1500 gold in the bank waiting on the lowered riding costs in the next patch. A little birdy tells me that *may* be as soon as tomorrow though I'm thinking prolly not till 3 weeks from tomorrow, but who knows?

The cast of characters so far:

(F) Bahka the Tauran Hunter:        72
(M) Morridi the undead deathknight: 60
(F) Amaraikwa the Blood Elf Rogue:  60
(F) Lindri the Blood Elf Paladin:    8
(F) Kaego the Tauran Druid:         14
(F) Baruu the Orcish Warrior:        8
(F) Rizaki the Troll Priestess       2 (I think thats her name)

The house seems like its a go, hopefully we'll get the closing done soon so as to have most of July to pack and move. Looking forward to getting out of that shithole townhouse, and looking forward to maybe getting a house kitty to snuggle and love on.

Car transmission seems to be doing wierd things. Will have to take it in and have it looked at after we get the house settled out as that will be the first time I will have disposable income.

We'll just have to see how it all comes together.

... and all I could think about was you. Christ! Sometimes I really hate myself. As if I didn't have enough on my plate with the whole house thing, I have to have her on my mind to?

Nothing new on the house, and I don't expect there to be any news till early next week sometime. hoo-fucking-ray stress >:o

Anyways, still playing WoW which is something I said I would never do, and yet here I am, plugging away on it. Though I am souring on the leveling (the Barrens AGAIN@!$%^#$@) I do plan to return to my low level characters at some point, but for now, Im thinking Im just going to make a beeline to 80 for my Hunter.

Bahka, Tauren Hunteress of the Horde, is currently 68, and in good shape (not great) equipment wise, and is fun to solo/group with. Amaraikwa, Rogue of Silvermoon, is still 60 and alot harder to solo, but alot of fun in a good group, though she desparetly needs gear to compete in Outland.

Morridi, The level 60 Undead Death Knight, is getting next to no time at all. I just don't like him or how the knights play. I continue to level his mining and blacksmithing as a cash cow, but Im pretty sure Im not going to quest with him again.

Guess we'll see where I end up with it, haven't tired of it yet, but that could be be any day now, or never....

We are setup to go over to the new place today after work to do the Mortgage-required house inspection. Once this step is complete we should be able to get final approval from the mortgage people whether they intend to go ahead with the mortgage proceedings, or drop out for any number of various reasons.

Looking forward to this despite the stress of dealing with house buying, moving, and the like.

In other news, I am using the Refer-a-friend deal in wow to move characters to level 60 pretty fast. So far, the total is:

(F) Bahka the Tauran Hunter:        60
(M) Morridi the undead deathknight: 60
(F) Amaraikwa the Blood Elf Rogue:  33
(F) Lindri the Blood Elf Paladin:    8
(F) Kaego the Tauran Druid:          7
(F) Baruu the Orcish Warrior:        6

These characters are all on Earthen Ring, but I am plannign to open up my Allience characters, probably with a Male Dwarf Paladin on Elune (maybe)

Got my computer fully online now with no sound or OS activation issues. Granted it is down a 1TB HD, but whos counting?

Went through my third WoW install in as many weeks, and it was just as lengthy and annoying as the other times, but its running and doing well now that Blizzard got their thumbs out and respec'd my moocow hunter.

BTW, for anyone who cares, got:
59 Tauren Hunter: Bahka
7 Tauren Druid: Kaego
2 Blood elf rogue: Amaraikwa
58 Undead Death Knight: Morridi

All on Earthen Ring RP.

Maybe more on the housing situation in a week; we'll have to see what we see about that.

I let Antimon talk me into trying WoW; should have known better, but oh well.

Got a lvl 59 cow hunter going strong.... or would have if the fucking game hadn't bullocks my talent points up. Attempted to submit a ticket, no response. The forums have a lot of people bitching about the same thing with multiple tickets open and unanswered for 48 or more hours. FUCK!

Also during this time, my raid in my gaming system shit itself. Looks like a common error for this board/chipset, but when I switched the SATA cables around, it was still out, except that it was now reporting the other drive. This is bad as it most probably means that 1 of the 2 drives died. No way to recover the data, as it was a RAID1 (striped) so i only have half the data.

Gotta RMA the drive and in the mean time I am forced to reformat the working drive and reinstall XP. We all know just how much fun that is *rolleyes*

Still all in all, this week has been shitty from the get-go. Work BS, home BS, 401k bs, house buying BS, and now game BS. It all adds up to a shit ton of stress, but thanks to eaglebeagle I got in just enough laughs and oh astonished oh shits! from the videos hes posted. Awesome stuff man :)

Over an hour into the complete format on this 1TB drive and still have 37% left >:o

Okay, so there wasn't much interest in gaming so for now, that idea is on the back burner. While I did get 2 furs interested, one was perfect and the other may have had scheduling issues, it just isn't enough in my opinion to get a good group dynamic going. Maybe I'll try again after me and antimon move from our too-close-to-pine-hills-for-comfort town home to something a little closer to the Orlando furs.

In other news, it seems like the supervisor/lead shift bid has been pushed back to Dec. 1st. I guess thats good news, as we will be keeping our current leadership in place till after the end-of-year reviews are done, but in the end, I am still loosing my friends and most of the joy from my job. Its sad that I wont be able to see them since I work graveyard.

In furry news, I got my Michael Reference sheet from mehndix, and I am just waiting for latinvixen02 to open up the 2009 suit list so I can get my first fursuit! yay for me! You can see the Michael ref sheet in my LJ gallery here.

I think that wraps everything up, at least for this week anyways as I have furloween and my birthday comming up in the next 21 days or so. *Excited*

Okay, so I am posting this again in hopes that maybe I can get one more person to join in so we can get some games going soon.
