Paint, and those that hate it…
Well, house closing was Friday, and the $800 I had mentioned earlier DID turn out to be an error, so all is well again in the household. After going over to the new house after closing, it became so apparent that we have a lot of work ahead of us. But, in order to get the house we want we are willing to put in a little work. After about 3 hours of introspection as to the general temperatures of colors (Ask a man if he knows what a warm and cool color is. If he knows, he’s a metrosexual) at Home Depot, we decided on two colors, and have started painting.
Painting normally proceeded by the long tedious task of making anything you don’t want painted look like a large abnormally shaped roll of masking tape. Once you finish moving the tape from the rolls in your hand to the rolls on the wall, you can begin painting. Painting is a long slow process consisting generally of rolling a paint soaked roller on the wall, and having your wife complain about missing spots afterwards. This does not include the part where paint magically flies across the room from the brush to that very piece of trim that you do not want colored. After the paint is rolled, you generally take smaller rolls of paint, as well as brushes of paint, and repaint small sections of the wall that have magically been stained white by act or God fiat of the Devil, not sure who likes taunting me more. Actually, it is turning out well, and since we are replacing the carpeting in these rooms, we do not have to me as careful as we would normally, so all is getting done slowly but surely. We are hoping for a mid-month move-in.
On the World of Warcraft front, I think The Pod People are generally where we were about 6 weeks ago. Despite the chaos of the last few months, We seem to have absorbed the losses, and have replaced those losses in raid situations. We did Zul’Gurub on Friday, as is the norm on Friday for TPP. We took down Venoxis without a wipe. We struggled early with Jeklik, but, after I think 4 wipes, managed to off her. Then there was the Bloodlord. I think he may be the hardest early raid boss in the game right now. We tried at least 6 times to down him, using at least 3 strategies, but could not manage it. Afterwards, I found no less than 5 strategies on defeating him by googling Bloodlord. Most cannot even agree on how long his berserk lasts. I’ve read anywhere from “a few seconds” to 90 seconds. I guess we have some home work in front of us, or we could try some other bosses, as he is technically an optional boss. Needless to say for those of us that are strategy oriented it’s fun. But when we flow into 2qm eastern time, it makes for potential wife aggro, as well as a long and tired Saturday morning. I do not know how dedicated raiding guilds do it tree or four times a week. God Bless them. As a personal note of accomplishment, I managed the second part of the Dreadmist to Deathmist upgrade questline, and now have nice new Bracers, Wraps, and Belt. Now If I can get a good Robe and Mantle, I'll be happy.
