Wow = no
So WoW isn’t going to keep me awake. I just lost my second wind. Where is my third? No idea. I’m going to try sitting on my balcony for a bit in hopes the cool air will keep me awake. If not, worst case is I get a bird pecking at my head in the morning.
Gray Quests
I’m helping a friend of mine level my escorting her on quests. Gray quests suck. At least it’s passing time
Plum sauce
I’m bored so I’m sitting here chomping away on pizza and dipping it in plum sauce. It’s pretty good. Anybody up to anything exciting?
Survival Kit
Now that we’re past the half way point, it’s all down hill from here. So that brings up the question: What’s in your Day of Blogs survival kit?
Mine is:
- 3 Amp Energy drinks
- 2 pizzas
- Box of toaster strudel
- Tostilla chips
- Grape soda
- World of Warcraft
Let me know what you have in your kit.
Une demi
We’re half way through the though the ‘thon. Are you getting tired yet? Think I’m on picking up with my second half wind here; sun goes down energy goes back up.
I hope you’re all keeping it up. Go team go!
Getting there
I think I have 3 more episodes left of Weeds, then I’m out of stuff to do right now.
I have plans to play WoW with a friend of mine later tonight so that will fill in time. Still waiting to see if anybody wants any videos.
Even if you don’t, can definitely use some sponsors. Right now we’re up to $17. Every penny counts.
What kind of a man
Sulli: “What kind of a man steals a cross off the top of a church?”
Doug: “An impressive one I’d say”
Doug is awesome. After the two towns merged, he lost his job on the board of directors so he stole the cross off the top of the church. Now I don’t say stealing is good, but It’s a huge freaking cross that makes it awesome. I have to say that in Season 3 (that I’m watching now) Doug gets more airtime and shows off how funny he is. I wish there was a Season 4, but can’t see it happening.
Only $49.95
So in this episode Nancy, who is a widowed mother who sells drugs, is being blackmailed by a sleazy private investigator. She ends up buying a microphone for $49.99 and records him blackmailing her and he becomes a coward and backs off. Nancy is super-smart.
So children, if anytime somebody tries to blackmail you for anything just record it so you can get away with whatever you’re doing.
Don’t do drugs
But watching Weeds is OK. that’s what I decided to do. At least until it gets dark and or I come up with something exciting to talk about. I’ll come back and do some recaps on what happened in the episode while it comes. I only have like 5 or 6 episodes left until the season is done so it’s going to be short. I’ll have something by then to talk about I’m sure.
