Last night started off with me being really disappointed that the ZG raid was full and I wouldn’t be able to go. I messed around on BB for a few minutes, then hopped over to my pally on Mannoroth. I started a game of 20-29 warsong gulch which was REALLY fun. My paladin is an incredibly fun character in pvp. I can’t wait to get my magic cleansing skill though!

Anyway midway through that… Cryptic asks if I am still on Vent. Which I am I sent him a tell from my pally. Gwennie was leaving and they had room, whooooo! So after they killed whoever they were on (maybe Bloodlord… I have no idea) I hopped over! We killed Wushoolay (and I got the coolest healing dagger in the game)

The sad part is, ONCE AGAIN I missed the venom sac from Venoxis. Usually I just forget (because I am silly) but this time I had to miss it! I am doomed to never have a Doomulus Prime :*(

Last week when I went to AQ-20… I found something quite amusing (which I post below the cut).

And this week while running to Ouro, Tyris and I had a “race”!

Sweetest dagger ever!

My druid’s first epic weapon!

Shame on you Mr. Wiggles! You really need to step it up!

A race with Tyris in AQ. He claimed he was winning, I claimed I was winning, so I took this screenshot to prove it!

The irony of it is, when I took this screenshot, it made my computer lag enough that I did lose, even on my screen rofl. I miss my SATA hard drive Insta-screens!

I saw Thomas Dolby last night in Northampton at the IronHorse. To get it out of the way quickly: I didn’t know Iron Horse was a resturant. I went with Andria Schwortz (a friend’s girlfriend) who is a science teacher in Central Mass. Caitlin had no interest (which makes sense) and Tony (my friend) had [...]

I’ve also been going to the Western Mass Go Club every week for 3 weeks now. I love it. It takes place Monday nights from 7 to 11 at Amherst Coffee in downtown Amherst. The Coffee shop is very nice but to be honest I feel bad because I havn’t bought anything there yet. Hopefully [...]

It’s been awhile since I last posted. Sorry about that. I guess a lot has gone on.
The main topic for this post: Fedora
I wrote last time (such a long time ago!) about how I had found Arch linux and I also mentioned how I hate rpm distros… well let me start from that point. Arch [...]

I dropped Honors today! Yay! Now that weight is off my back and I can now focus on just getting all of my late adds done -____- I have THREE, which is really bad Sigh.

I think I found the hard drive that I am going to buy, too: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822136049 It is basically the same HD she wanted us to buy, except that I trust Western Digital (never heard of the brand she mentioned), and it is the same price for 100 more gigs. I wanted to get it at zipzoomfly.com instead (free shipping!) but I couldn’t find that exact model, and none of those specified precisely wtf they were. Our teacher was really adamant about the firewire so I decided to get one after all. I couldn’t find an external enclosure that mentioned anything about IEEE1394b (lots of a’s, but…) I could save some money if I looked around more but at this point I don’t really have that luxury and I just want to get the damn drive x_x Now I just need to find out how I can format my drive such that windows and mac can both read it (or find what software I need for windows to read it… or something). It was mentioned early on in the class but I didn’t write it down.

Anyway now I have wasted all my time here so I better get going to Ethics. (I LOVE that class, it’s so fun!)

This weekend was pretty good Last night I went to AQ-20 on my druid (noooothing dropped haha… though I did pick up a nice ring from ayamiss), it went all right aside from very super noobish wipes (come on, hitting the FIRST CRYSTAL too early, and Ossirian goes nuts and beats the crap out of us? I got Thunder Clapped (or something that looked like it) for 8000. The next attempt was flawless though and we got him down with no deaths.

Today was really productive! We went to the mall quickly then to Barnes and Noble. I got the new two books of that series I have been reading (Kushiel’s Chosen and Kushiel’s Avatar) and saw that The Queen’s Oracle was out! That’s the third book of Tamir Trilogy (The Bone Doll’s Twin, then Hidden Warrior, now this) which was ridiculously good. I have no idea when I read Hidden Warrior, but it was a loooong time ago. I’m really glad I found the third book. Now I just need to remember who everyone is… I know a few people (Ki, Tamir, Brother…) but a lot of them… no clue! I’m going to finish up the other two books before I get into it though, I think I want to read the second Diablo book, but I can’t find it anywhere :/

Anyway after shopping we stopped at Northampton quickly then got groceries and stopped by Blockbuster to pick up Ong-bak. We went home, watched a few episodes of Battlestar Galactica (yay! one episode away from the last of Season 1… gotta catch up before Season 3 starts!) and then I went to Onyxia. Stormrage Cover dropped, but Gwennie has more DKP than me so… Next time though it might be mine Afterward we went to Corey and Natasha’s and watched Ong-bak and had wings I asked to come home early so I could do some work (taking a tiny break right now but I’m gonna get back in to it in a second).

I think I had something else to say but I can’t remember it now for the life of me so back to working!

Returning a flag is one of the most satisfying things ever I loooove flag running. I wish I had more of the druid pvp set… having near-mount speed in cheetah form would be ridiculous and would greatly improve my flag running “skills”.

Game club tonight was fun. Played some Smash Bros and Guitar Hero, read my book some too. I also went to the BDIC pizza night thing and had some tasty pizza

Kushiel’s Dart is definitely one of the best books I have read in a long time. I need to get the next book soon, before I finish this one, or I MIGHT go crazy!

I think Shane and I are going to do a WoW movie “Bears on a Tram” at some point (take off of Snakes on a Plane obviously…) We’ll probably film it on the test servers and see if we can get a bunch of our friends to copy over those level 60 premade druids or something

Anyway! I don’t know what else to say really sooooo I guess this is done!

School is mean I submitted an Override form for my Digital Media: Time Based class, and missed the TINY CHECKBOX that says “override course capacity”. So I didn’t get in, and now I need to do a late add for the course :/ Ugh.

In good news though, my financial aid finally came in, so I have money! I am going to buy an external hard drive and a camera for my class, and the rest will go to rent!

I am trying to think of a good WoW movie idea.

I need to go to class soon and this has been open forever and I haven’t added a thing to it!

Does anyone have the MOD version of counterstrike or know someone who would? I just need a model out of it (the GSG9 model to be specific). I got the model from stand-alone counterstrike but it looks like the skeleton is not the same as the one they are showing… so I want to try to see if I can get the mod version of it, if it is different. If you can help me with this please email me (cbailey@student.umass.edu) or leave a comment here. Thanks!
