1:06 am - nerding it up
|
Uhg. So I've been taking a break from wow. This is fine. I watch the upcoming patch content. I get kind of excited. I put a timecard on my account and update the patch. Patch notes? Death knights (my class) are nerfed into the ground.
Seriously? I could see a couple of these done at once, but all of this at once is too much. And why is it that blizz keeps nerfing tanks? One guess is that those whiny arena pricks yelled too hard about dk's in pvp. wtf? Why does that have to effect dk's so badly in instances? (seriously? pulling the armor bonus to be more in line with other tanks? It's higher because we can't use shields, and then you nerf the other defensive abilities too? what the hell?)
Uhg. I have 60 days of playtime and I don't even want to log on.

A couple of people have asked me why I've been considering California, and I've been turning it over in my head to see what's really going on in there.
I could say that I have friends there, but I can only think of a conversation I had with Skye one night some years ago, and a lesson I learned about hinging a significant amount of happiness on the presence of other people. Don't get me wrong, I do care about my friends, very much so for the people I feel close to. I do think I would be out of my mind to move across the country for them based on the nature of our relationships as they are. So I'll have to leave this one as a possible bonus ; I might see some of them once every month or so, which would be twelve times yearly more than I do now. Good enough.
I could say that I want to go for the climate, but the only half truth to this would be that I am eager to be close to a beautiful oceanfront. I do like warmer weather, but I was born, and lived a significant portion of my life in Arizona. Sunny skies and dry heat are not alien to a boy who spent summers blackening calloused heels on asphalt already half melted by early morning. I have since come to love and cherish my thunderstorms, floods, sheer torrents of snow, and all the lovely sorts of side effects that come with changing of the seasons. The ocean is a perk, but not without its cost.
I might say the job opportunities are better (for the field I'm currently in), but this is probably an outright lie. I am a train ride away from the city, half a daylights trip to our nations capital, and the same distance to all sorts of nifty east coast one of a kind imaging institutions.
So what's left then? Well... these things carry some weight I'll admit. The desire to be around well... the things I hear about on a year to year basis is a draw. My significant other also is no small portion of this desire. Cali was her home state, and I know she daydreams of living there again.
I think though that a large part of this is the desire for change. Being in one place too long is like... being covered in mud too long dry. It's flaking off and itchy and I just want to pull all of the foul sameness off of me into something fresh and new.
So the possibilities are there, if not in concrete. I'm still feeling this thing out, and I have yet to see what graduate work is out there awaiting me. Cross your fingers for something good.

Seriously thinking about moving to California.
Maybe I'll start looking for graduate schools out there.

I despair to think on you, you who see the world through heavy, half lidded eyes. Wandering in dream and haze of practiced misinterpretations. What is each day to you?
Will you ever gaze upon the million colors of the stars? Will you witness the molten gold rays of sunrise burn mist off of swaying mountaintops? Have you ever felt a fear so intense that your very bones quaked, and would you swim-strain that unresponsive primal vessel to the edge of death? Could you seek-send piercing orbs into deepest depths and recognize that which cannot be fathomed?
So many things, vitals and essences. Dumbfounding, spirit-infusing bits of experience to cherish, dream. Do you remember what it is like to truly wonder?
I push salt-stained thoughts even more closer to those that I see, that I know gaze upon the world with eyes that make my own existence seem... somnambulant. What do you see that I cannot? What experiences have you found that I can never reach? I envy you these. I practice mental forms to reach the heights that you may find by sheer accident. Will you teach me? Would you play the bard, be the raconteur and with great gesture, flourish and coy turn gift me some parcel to cherish as my own?
Ever waiting with open (closed) eyes.
-Me

1:16 pm - Epic fail?
|
Can someone explain to me who at blizz thought it would be a good idea to not only rename wow, or any other blizzard account to your email account name, but to link them all together into one big super account in the middle of rampant security problems?
Yeah sure, hang on let me link several games to one email so that everything can be hacked at once. Super.
I just wanted to get into the SCII beta. F that.

Got no sleep one night, the next I slept in, and had strange visceral dreams where people I knew but hadn't seen in awhile surrounded me and told me things I didn't understand. The whole thing was comforting and sad all at once.
current mood:  contemplative

9:53 am - nicked from binary hero

The link is only to a small part of the thread, which will give further explanation and is worth it.

You send a hamburger down a chute towards a hungry customer. As the salamander observes the approach of the hamburger the probability of sandwiches being consumed without consummation increases and decreases. The hamburger trembles and grows as the quantum foam surges and catches it from all sides.
A laser is fired. Screams ring through the laboratory. Who is screaming? Only the hamburger knows. A measurement is taken and another is given.
The laser is full.

3:51 am - The words of Robert Jordan
|
For those (many I'm sure) of you revving up to your anger at the upcoming final book:
"What I consider the major story lines will be resolved. There will be a number of minor story lines that will not be resolved, for the simple reason that there is no point to any real world where everything is resolved. That's always something that has irritated me about some novels--that you reach a point at the end of the book, and everyone's problems have now been solved, and all of the world's problems have been solved. I get the feeling I could put these characters and this world on a shelf and put a bell jar over them and go away. There's nothing left there alive.
That's the way it's going to be. I even intend to set a small hook in the last scene."
Taken from an Amazon.com interview, date unknown.
Emphasis mine.
Ha ha ha.
Deal with it.
In other news, not doing very well.
current mood: sad
