Minor Musings

Just rambling stuff.

Tea is good. Too bad the green tea tastes like grass. And smells like grass. *sigh* I've been lacing it liberally with the rock sugar, but I think I'm going to start using an artificial sweetener in it. At least the Haute Chocolate is spicy. I've been enjoying the new teas, even though they do cool down quickly in here if I use a mug.

So I am slowly trying to get my sleep pattern moved back to where it's supposed to be. Unfortunately that means pushing myself past being exhausted. I'm thinking tomorrow I'll be back to sleeping at night, instead of during the day.

I did get to take both my (undergeared) shaman and mage to kara runs last week. Made out like bandit. :D I'm really enjoying playing them at the moment. It's a refreshing change from the life of a hunter, or the life of a feral druid. Especially when you get a pally tank and my mage gets to just AOE crap down. Wewt!

I should be watching the latest episode of House that got recorded earlier, but here I am... in front of my computer...

The final count of books read for the first quarter of this year turned out to be 21. 9 of those were manga. Keep in mind that until I moved, I read so much more than this. 21 would be typical of a MONTH, not the total of four. So I'm trying to take time off of WoW to just sit and read. I've already turned Sunday evenings into TV night. I also try to read when I can... Like after a wipe, I crack open an easy-to-put-down book and read for a couple min. Hehe.

I've gotten fairly into the whole games and swaps things on PBS. The Sci-fi/Fantasy Elephant swap was tons of fun. I've also gotten into a buddy swap, WL swap, and a reminder list swap. That's in addition to my montly tea swap and manga swap. Hey, where'd all my credits go... *wink* Tons of fun! My WL buddy has some things on her list that I have on my own. I think I may buy some of those for her.

We still have to get me a new power supply for my PC. My graphics card needs more juice! I can already tell that it's running at less than optimal. Hyjal frame rate is low again. :(

Last week I got to play with Photoshop Elements a bit. Keep in mind, I hate learning out of a book. It's easier for me to figure it out and that way I remember. I had to put 5 pieces of a puzzle together. I figured out how to make layers and move them around. It was fun and I was very happy with myself afterwards. When we get my vid card more juice (and I get these freebie kits extracted and organized) I'll start using some templates to scrap, I think.
