Sunday: Mithaniel Marr tasted the full fury of the "Forgotten Nemesis" blades. For this second attempt we returned with a full raid force and he was killed flawlessly.

I can now zone into Sol Ro!

Friday - After an EQ-free week I was fired up enough to finally get my Beastlord to 39 and try out that new pet. Awesome fun, but Gunthak Beach is now pretty slow for EXP so took him into Nadox with my son’s 56 Druid. Soaked up a little exp but couldn’t really contribute that well. Ported him over to DSP to check out.

Saturday - 2-Boxed the Beastlord with my 63 Druid to decent effect in DSP. A bit low for the Rockhoppers, and a bit high for the Tribal Gatherers but happily picked off Large Zelniaks for an hour before shopping called. PL’d my other son’s Mage for a while and settled down to an evening of mindless crap TV.

Sunday – Chores all morning and most of the afternoon, then a bit more Beastlord grinding in DSP. PL’d my 16 Necro and my son’s 14 Rogue in PC to remind myself why that zone is so annoying Rounded off the night with my Druid and some very good friends in Nadox to top up the AA’s.
A very satisfying weekend

Monday – RL Employer Faction quest. Despite my tireless repetitions of the ‘lending him my secretary’ quest he still cons indifferent.

Annoying Boss says “What did you want to [talk] to me [about]”
You say “I want to talk about that pay rise”
Annoying Boss says “I’m not sure you’ve done enough [work] for me to consider a pay rise”
You say “What work?”
Annoying Boss says “My point exactly”

This will make me chukkle for the rest of the day :)

friday - killed emp in ssra and complteted my VT key

saturday - raided VT and won a new shield =)

sunday - did a GoD trail, killed named and won a new bracer, but had to call it cause guild called raid so wasent able to finish trial, then went and killed RZ

fun weekend.

Attempted Doomshade with a raid of maybe 15 people, most of whom were 50-55. CHeal rot was three or four druids. Wiped. Wiped again. Wiped some more. I think it took five tries to give up the ghost, but if you don't try, you never know Plus, I got to Highsun Doomshade back after we gave up the ghost.

Did the usual dinking about on alts. I've noticed I get the best groups at like midnight Sunday which means I only get to play one LDoN before it's time to log.

A squirrel chewed a fist sized hole in my roof and decided to claim squatter's rights in my attic crawlspace. Nothing like listening to the scampering of rodent feet at 3:00am after doing that midnight LDoN I blocked the hole this morning and now have to practice my Bob Villa skills at roof repair in the next day or so. Come to think of it I have no idea if I blocked the squirrel in or out of the attic, but that's its problem, not mine.

Not much in the way of EQ this weekend.

Friday night - Dinked around on my nec and bought her all of her spells up to level 16. Got into a BoT Group for an hour then had to log to get some sleep...

Saturday - woke up at 315am to go meet a friend over in fremont (30 minutes away) and then head up to Tahoe for a day fo snowboarding. snow was good untill about 130pm. then we decided to head home. got home round 7pm got cleaned up and took the lady out to a nice dinner. got home round 93o. watched some TV then went to bed

Sunday - day was spent in trader mode while washed and detailed our cars, went to circut city to replace our TV again. the first one had to be taken back because of a loud highpitched buzzing sound so we got a replacement. the second one has to be returned because of the same sound and the screen isnt level. it slopes to the left abit. we said "***** panasonic" and wanted to get another brand but none would fit in the entertainment center. so we had to go down to a 27 inch flatscreen by samsung. 200$ cheeper but im bummed that i loose my 32" flatscreen. kept trying to convince the woman that we need to get rid of the entertainment center and get a bigger TV. (they had 42" widescreen HD TVs for 1500$ but she put the nix on that. oh well ill live. come home with some KFC for dinner and find i made a whopping 1k in the baz. i guess its time to clean out my crap and find a nice place to pharm sellables....

The Silmarillion depressed me the first time i read it so it did make only 1/2 of a second time.

BTW: I usually find the RL coverage of your weekends as interesting as the EQ related stuff :))

Just wait until next weekend when I relate how I put the squirrel's head on a spike and set it in the yard as a warning to the other squirrels that Casa Jophiel is soverign territory and not to be trifled with.

Sigh - I just reached 1500 pp total for the first time ever... I'm outfitting 4 characters, AND I'm on Stromm, so it's tough to accumulate anything...

This weekend:
Friday - date with my wife - good!
Sat - EQ just bazaar action. Yardwork - burnt my back something fierce pulling weeds in the yard! Ouch!
Sun - Friend's funeral. He was over at my house last Sunday, as happy as could be. Tuesday - massive heart attack. He was 55. Smoker. Thin, not overweight. I'll miss him.
(His name was Kenny - I have this recurring dark thought running through my mind - it's this voice and it keeps saying, "Oh my God! They killed Kenny!" - I couldn't say that to any of his family...)
EQ - just some farming when I got back - found out my guild got into an impromtu raid - wiped numerous times - naked "Twelfth Order" guys running all over Luclin...

My weekend began with yet another darn patch, which messed up the gang's plans to do some HoH trialing.

No one around the next day so we went to Skyfire to try to get Aesten some of his spells. Last time we were there getting Celeni's spells we got nothing by Cleric and Enchanter spells, you guessed it, this time we are getting nothing but Druid and Enchanter Spells Oh well we did get Fortitude for what its worth.

On Sunday we did a few LDoN's, with Babastina doig some jewel crafting during the waits in between. She is stuck on 196 for some reason at present, but we made a couple of stacks of champagne magnums in preparation for another earing push.

In amongst the usual insistance in doing "collects" or "slaughter" on brave leader chose an asassination and sprung it on the group before anyone could object. It proved to be very interesting.

We managed to fight through to the mob in good time, but with hind sight we did not prepare well enough for the fight, just treated it like any normal mob and piled in.

The mob was tough enough to almost need a heal rotation. I suddenly found my self desperately trying to keep the MA alive. In pretty quick time the mob was inficting enough damage to outpace my cast time, even mixing hots and ch. Eventually the MA went down, the mob then quckly despatched the Wizzy who was trying to burn it down and then turned on me. This was before my conversion to DB and so I did some sort of a tank impersonation for a few seconds and then went down as well.

Just as I popped back in Felwithe (bound in front of the tribute master I got the "you are sucessful" message saying that we had won!?

It turns out that between me and the monk we managed to "tank" long enough for the rogue to finish the bastage off, lol.

Managed to level my necro to 42 and my cleric to 61. Was surprised to realize that the stat cap is automatically raised post-60; thought I had to invest AAs for that. As it is I was over 260 Wis anyways.

Also went to visit my father in the hospital; he'd had a tracheotomy but lost his speech tube so it was pretty awkward talking with him.

I've read the Silmarillion many, many times; it is rather depressing but a thrilling story.

I just have to post here on Tuesday.

Forgotten Nemesis used the patch to work their way to SSra, with a little applying rogue quietly following around.

Long story short: Emperor SSra dead; my biggest kill ever.

/em feels like a rooster on viagra! Rawr!

Friday: Cleric LVL 59 LFG for hours on end, enduring pick up LDONs to pass the time between looking for something fun to do. When not LDONing, turned LFG off and got skill of baking up from 0 to 242 in under 500pp and it would have been less if I hadn't been so keen on adding all those new recipes to the new tradeskill UI (OMG It's so fun now!!!)

Friend found me in need, he in his 60th hour of attempting to get the hide off of an ashenbone drake in Hate. And in need himself because his previous cleric had been a bad example of a battle cleric.
