Yeah my body is not happy. I’m having some really massive internal bleeding of the Colon variety. I’ve scheduled an appointment with a doctor for tomorrow. He’s from New Zeland and haas a lot of recommendations. I hope he works out well and figures out what the hell is wrong with me. The amount of blood is alarming, like “red bowl full of blood” alarming. I’m going to go home after lunch if I’m not feeling better, I feel like crap (no pun intended) and I’m light headed and crampy and ugggg.

Enjoyed a great weekend at the coast with Kerrie. Really relaxing, flew kites, had some great food, and stayed at a really nice place. It was a nice getaway to have and I think every 8 weeks after Finals week I’m going to take these mini weekend vacations just to reset my brain a bit before the next session of school. It’s a nice reward for myself for doing well at school.

I’m finally done with my first session of classes and pretty sure I got all A’s in them. I still won’t know until next week but unless I got like 70’s or lower in some of my final projects, essays, and tests in my 3 classes then it’s impossible for me to not end up with an A. Concidering the worst I’ve done all term is like an 88 on one paper, I highly doubt that I’ll get a D in anything on my finals.

I don’t know why we continue to have problems with this guy. The night we downed him he felt like easy sauce. Sure we did have a couple of wipes at first, but then sat back thought it out, handled the trash, and bam we succeeded. For the majority of the crew it seems like there’s still some disconnect with being able to control “Oreo’s” four buddies or something. Hopefully we’ll make some headway on Friday. It would be nice for once to try the damn operah again and at least see what’s on the other side.

So it seems Jeremy has decided finally to play WoW. He started a Belf hunter named “Prettz” as in Prettzle. Funny guy he is. Ray got him into the guild as a recruit, I mean he is practically family so he got waived of the level requirement. I’m really looking forward to see how well Jeremy does. He’s a smart gamer. I mean anyone who has played Final Fantasy as much as he has and other related games to the point of completeness knows high gaming. I hope that his completistness doesn’t slow down his leveling though. :-/

Another week of wiping on Moroes. I don’t know why we’re still having a problem with this guy. We downed him pretty cleanly once, but can’t seem to get him as cleanly again. Attumen is on full friggin farm status. We don’t die on his trash or wipe on him at all anymore, total 1 shot action. I feel bad for our tanks, they’ve been spending soooooooooo much money on repairs it’s not even funny. I think Gnar himself has been paying something like 40g a night.

Soriathus began a huge push into Outland today. In one day I got 2 levels complete and several equiptment upgrades as is the Outland way (helm, chest, pants, 2 rings, bracer, main hand, offhand, staff, and I’m sure I missed some). He’s already Honored with Thrallmar and still has a ton of quests to do in the area. Overall it was a very night push and I’m going to put him away again until he gets another level and a half of rested, then give him another big push.

This little puppy hits like a goddamn semi truck. No really! I mean it! He was super hard to heal on and honestly I concider him a good gear check, an even better gear check than Attumen on our tanks. He doesn’t have any special abilities, but he hits really hard and has a massive amount of hitpoints. I think he’s the hardest of the named beasts. We only have 1 more named beast that we haven’t downed.

Hyakiss the Lurker … down.
Moroes … down.

Damn skippy. Now we get some really nice attempts on Maiden! I’m really proud of the progress we’ve having in the instance. We definitely have had a lot of improvements in our raiding and I like how we’re raiding on a normal schedule again. I’m really hoping that we’ll make good progress by the end of the month and start getting some new recruits as a result of our success.

Got Gnar to 69.53, his helm of second sight, and got yet another piece of my dungeon set which is the most annoying (the trousers) from Sethekk Halls). Now I just need to continue to run the 4 level 70 instances until I get my revered rep and I should get the gear I want by then.

I also made 14 flasks of fortification for the MT of Seagyn (spelling?). He was very cool and impressed that I made 14 flasks for the price of 6 and gave me an extra large tip and 1 of the bonus elixirs. I tapped his brain a bit and he suggest that we get our tanks around 13K hitpoints, 300 defense, and around 12K AC. He said that the tanks could come shy of this, but for the most part this is the expectation for tanking. It sounds like we really need to take a set back and focus on gearing up before taking Karazhan seriously.
