Your Mom

Another Monday in Paradise. This time, we were two people short and had a Monday-style call day (read: ton of random things that broke over the weekend that we can’t/don’t fix). I know we’re gonna hear about our metrics tomorrow…

At least I got to leave early. Since its my week to stay until 4 on Friday, I don’t have to stay late everyday this week. This bought me a little extra time before DeAnn got home to do some studying and take some notes. I need to get a workbook and a reference text at least before I can really get deep, but I have just about everything else I will need. The training video stressed the importance of having hour blocks of time at regular intervals that are uninterrupted to study, do labs and take pretests. I know I can do it if I were alone, but I don’t know if the rigors of the family life I love will let me do this without putting up a fight. I’m really excited about this.

Decided not to do much of anything in game tonight. Talonshard had posted a link to a comic on the forums that he thought reminded him of Keri and her habit of replying to questions with “Your Mom.” She’d been wanting a forum signature for some time now that included her character model, so I took the opportunity to reconstruct the comic element by element and replace one of the characters with her model. The first version blew up my computer. Always save your work, kids… -_-; I created the second version in the down time between campaign battles in Rolanberry Fields [S] – the little bit of gaming that we did tonight. Truth be told, I knew what I wanted a little bit better for the second version, so I think it came out better, anyway. Finished up the evening buying out most of the tier IV BLM scrolls I will need. I'm only missing a handful of the more expensive (and arguably less useful) scrolls.

First time back to Einherjar for me in a while tomorrow night. I’m periodically assessing that event to see if it’s worth my time for me to participate. So far it has not been worthwhile, but I’m unwilling to simply strike it out as useless just yet. I’ll do some saltwater fishing while I wait in Whitegate or Nashmau. I can skill up on the Kalamar (I got a .1 skill this weekend) while I fish up Hamsi for Courier Carrie soups – Win/win situation.
