Ok, people here it is again. I'm stuck out in the middle of an ocean half a world away from home. Going through some major withdraw pains. What were you all up to this weekend?
Friday Spent the day shopping for family. Looking for souviners in Hong Kong. My ship is there for some R/R for the Marines and Sailors on our way home from an extended 7 1/2 month deployment. Wife spending the days leveling and AA'ing.
Saturday Another day of shopping in Hong Kong. Finding that Fine China is not as easy as you think. If you ever go to Hong Kong eat at Coyotes Bar and Grill! Best place I've eatin in a long time. Wife and friend of hers made a new toons, but won't tell me what they are.
Sunday Anchors away my boys! Left Hong Kong. So now we are going to be out at sea for a little while, oh well. Looks like we'll be watching the game next Sunday via a crappy Satellite connection. Wife got her Pally alt to 46, says she needs to quest out some spells.
Monday Another day out at sea. I joined the Navy to see the world, too bad over 70% of the world is salt water!
Just so you know, I posted this already because it is Monday mid-morning my time. :) I kind of forgot about the time difference.

Woogie, I won't be able to beat yer "half a world away", for me it's only 5000 miles ish. but still 
flew into DC last night, off to Avis, and somehow my tracking skill must've been maxxed, as this is the first time I found my hotel without getting lost...;) (no GPS, ye suckers).
went to Ashburn pub fer a few, got home by 5 a.m. bodyclock time, slept like a baby...
went to an oirish pub fer breakfast (man, I luv them pancakes...). after that off to Manassis battlefield. tracking again was good, only took a wrong turn once. the electronic battlefield simulation of bull run 1 is just great and very informative. did the walking tour (Henry Hill), was nice to "enjoy the outer doors" and leanr alot about the battle. after stopping by at Stonebridge (and another 30 mins walk) I ended up craving for a coffee and cake in Old Town Manassas. I can recommend very much the City Tavern Grille. Joshua is a very friendly and charming Waiter. NY Cheesecake FTW. Also the ex bariton in the visitors centre (Manassas again), very helpful and entertaining. man, them old timers can tell stories...the old town itself, also deffo well worth a visit.
before leaving Manassas I spent 20 bucks to buy homemade fudge (pressie for my colleague where we will have dinner later on). Again, the shopkeeper (like all people I meet there) just great. not the smurfing false customer service smile, but genuine pleasure to entertain AND to serve you. just too rare
Leaving Manassas and driving back to the hotel was just too good too. Fantatasic sunset....
PS: no EQ withdrawal symptoms. am even glad, I didn't install it on the laptop (despite having free DSL in the hotel). surfin Alla is enough ;)

Had a strange weekend, all in all... can't decide if it was good or bad.
Thu:
Found out that my groupmates made about 4-5 levels during the double exp weekend, when I had no time to play. They're in their high 40ies now... Couldn't play on Thursday either, my girlfriend took me to "Yamato - the Drummers of Japan". Great show! 
Fri:
Didn't play much (only about 20 minutes), but dinged 42!
Had my trader up for some hours.
Sat:
Played for about an hour in the evening, realizing that my trader had made 700pp the day before. This is the highest amount of money I ever got in Bazaar. So finally I was able to buy the Bone-studded Loop for my BL!
Sun:
Found out the hard way that the Griffin MM in West Commonlands seems to be bugged. Collected all the eggs, finished all task stages, and still only one of our four-man-group got experience.
Seems as if all team members have to loot a shard of wisdom, before anyone hails Kathi finish the last task stage...

Got logged in for a couple productive sessions with my husband - he's officially addicted. We've been doing the 'tasks' given out by quest NPC's in PoK. I think they were an OoW or DoN addition.
They've been lots of fun. They're just the right length for a 1.5 to 2 hour session, are very goal-oriented and have yielded some much needed gear for a couple brand newbies to the server we're currently using.
The Druid and Beastlord pair are working out well for duoing....but we're only at level 13 so far.
Bbot, the Drummers of Japan does sound like a cool show. Lucky guy.

Hi there everyone. Well, a bit of a downer for us this weekend. Friday, I spent way too much time at work and came home too late to see my bobbin to sleep. But expecting a party on Saturday had the wife and I still in good spirits. Spent most of Saturday morning getting the food ready to take with us, so no gaming. Unfortunately, what we expected to be a jolly meet with friends who we haven't seen in years turned very sober when it was announced that one of our household members had died that very morning. The gentleman had cancer, but was apparently in remission. Some folks had spoken to him that morning, and apparently it came on very, very suddenly. Much toasting, but proved that alcohol is a sure depressant. Upon coming home, I couldn't sleep, so I did an exp grind on the mage to 51 in SD. Sunday, I spent the morning working on more blueprints, and finally got on in the evening and took the mage to Dulak to get 75% through 51, and still waiting for the drops I need for the quest spells there.
Thu - Thursday is WoW raid night, as such I spent the afternoon/evening on WoW setting up/updating UIs and addons and such. We took a run through UBRS and was most likely the fastest run we had there (~2hrs). Grats to no one on the Hunter BP that dropped as all 3 of our attending hunters (and all 5 of our high level hunters) had it already.
Fri - Started out in RSS tanking for a guildie group. Now, take a look at Stubby's Magelo and tell me if you'd be that nuts :p. I got owned pretty hardcore whenever something didn't go perfect (gated mob, 1 add, etc). 3 deaths later and the named was up. We wiped on him too :(. (Yeah, I told them I wasn't big enough to tank there yet, but the cleric is a bit nuts and likes when I tank that type of stuff, it keeps him awake.) Later on went to MPG and just killed stuff by the zone in for a bit. (No raid, dubbed exp night)
Sat - I really can't remember what I did during the day...but we attempted the DN fight for the Bard 1.5 again (with the 7 mobs, 14 pets, human, dracholich). First time, we were going well until we were working on the 5th mob and the event depopped. 2nd attempt all the pets came for us as soon as we started killing one of the mobs (rather than staying on the kiter) and we nearly wiped (cleric camp). 3rd attempt we backed off the whole raid before the kiter went in, he grabbed all the pets and started his thing, as soon as we appraoched (before even engaging anything), the pets broke loose and ran to us. This encounter has given us some very big problems as of late :(.
Sun - I didn't feel like doing much during the day, so I played with Byldolfo (my lvl 33 (now 34) ranger). Fear kiting in the quiet of Stoneburnt was fun. Forgot how much of a pain it is to raise weapon skills up though. (1hs/archery maxed, raising up 1hb/1hp, 2hb, 2hs by swapping to those during the fear kiting part). We attempted Feratha in RSS later on. First attempt 65, 2nd 50, but then people had to log. Wiped by adds both times.
Mon - Tonight is WoW night, so most likely playing that if the guild is planning on something. If they don't need me though I'll end up doing stuff on this side of the world.

After grounding my son from EQ for a week, (there by grounding myself) for fibbing about his homework. We researched Acient China for an up comming school project. My other hobbie is being a luthier. MY son, maybe out of a desire to calm the storm desided to do his project on Musical Instrument of Acient China.
(intresting fact the oldest Playable Flute, was found there about 6 years ago it is thought to be over 10,000 years old)
My Daugther turned 16 on Saturday and months of planing had gone into Her and her Mom spending the day in the city shopping.
(and not so secretly her brother and I would stay home and play EQ.) Ment a punishment for my son I desided the whole family would go. I had to assure my wife and daugther that we would keep our traps shut and let them enjoy the day.
Unfortunatly we all had fun even though it was ment as a punishment hehe.
All in all a very fine weekend

Long periods of swarm kiting PoN gargoyles for Midnight Stones interspersed with occassional forays into SolC and Crypt o' Decay. Tried to solo some Siren's Grotto bulthar with my 61 SK and learned that Bulthar > Me. Since I had already fired off Double XP, I got Flappy up and let him babysit me for a half-hour then beat feet for the zone.

Wow. Regular ol' Joph fan club in here.
Friday - played console games till the wee hours.
Saturday - after handling some chores/shopping. Did MMs and got one of my baby toons added to the guild. Nothing major, got an AA and a drop.
Sunday - slept in some. ran a few errands. then since I got them for Christmas I loaded SW galaxies and EQ2 for those times when I am not up for a ridiculous grinding session or looking to do some light playing. Patching between the two took about 6 hours.

Stupid amount of EQ for me this weekend.
Spent 3 hours in Noble's Causeway Friday night trying to get the spell runes I need to drop, no luck. Then went with some friends to WoS, another few hours there and some named and still no runes so got about a half a level on my alt rogue in Velks and went to bed.
Saturday did a super quick raid to kill Tallon Zek then to HHK for a couple MMs. Another round of luckless rune hunting in NC, then went to help on a rogue epic 1.5 in SolC. Started wondering if I should level to 70th on my chanter (69th now) and did some more MMs to work on 'raid' oriented AAs (finally got MGB). At sometime that afternoon I offically had gotten as many AAs in MMs as I had with regular zone exp (felt a little dirty but whatever...). More rune hunting that night and got my rune for an upgrade nuke spell.
Sunday did guild raid in Ssra, lots of emp key drops and green metals etc. for everyone. Soooo...boring but productive. Shrouded to a goblin rogue and went to Chardok to turn in gems to Niblek for part of VP key. Got this in 69.1 hard Hive Silk Mask - level 70 was looking pretty nice but it was super late and not alot around in most zones. Ended up going back to HHK MM again, finished off 70 in two missions and went to bed. I'm definitely off the MMs now, I need too many spells lol.

Fri: Continued with my two month boycott on EQ.
Sat: Broke that boycott out of anxiety and fear over being a teenage father. Swarmed a few Monster Missions and miraculously leveled up.
Sun: Worked pretty much all day on various things, didn't have time for EQ.

Coincidentally, I had the ladyfriend report this weekend that she was late and a follow-up report that she was not in the family way just yet. *Whew* Someday I hope but not today, please.

It only fails when people *cough*FORGET TO TAKE THEIR DAMN PILLS*coughcough* and when latex breaks, which is pretty easy to do nowadays. So, no, it doesn't always work.
I don't know where I was or what I did - but I don't remember there being a weekend.
Friday - Sick at home. One consolation - EQ!!! So in the AM I did some remote computing for work. Stopped a bit & fell asleep. Woke up at 2pm...EQ! What? no connection. Tried Mozilla. no connection. Called Time Warner Cable. TW Service Rep. Yep, looks like your internet connection failed 8 minutes ago. Oh gee, what about your TV? Me Uh...let me see...nope that doesnt work either. Then ensues 10 minutes of trying to reboot both (like I didn't try to reboot my modem before I called)...TWSR: well there isn't any reported area outage for lower Manhattan so you need to make an appointment for a repairman. Sunday is the earliest we can get someone to you. (me, gulp...figures make it early Sunday, maybe I can recoup some time..). TWSR: if it ends up being a widespread problem, we will know when more people start calling (my thought -- is this hi tech or what?). If it is, we will have it fixed in a couple of hours..try rebooting at 4pm; we will automatically cancel your appointment if it is a area-wide problem. I then proceeded to try rebooting at 3, 4, 5, 6 (well, you get the idea). Remainder of day - re-read 4 books. Also cleaned up some dust bunnies I found near the cable box.
Saturday - no internet, no TV. Still sick. Re-read 5 books. Tried to reboot about 5 times....
Sunday - repairman arrives at 9 am. His repair sheet says that customer had not informed them what the problem was (?!???). He finds that there is no power into the building, calls his office and is told it is an area problem. My neighbor says that he was told on Friday that it was a problem in the area and it should be fixed in a couple of hours. He had called several times and kept being told "soon." He also tells me I have to call every day to get "credit". So the cable guy leaves (nice guy, replaced my outside line because it had some corrosion due to another cable guy forgetting to block out water, and put in a connection that he said should make the internet faster, once I got it back.) I then call Time Warner Cable and ask what gives. Nice Rep. tells me that, in my area, 28 customers on the same network as I am have been out since Friday, about 160 around the corner have been out since Friday and that 16 customers in the area lost power on Saturday while TWC was working, but they fixed that. She has no idea when the 28 customers I am a part of will get cable back, but she is sure they must have dispatched someone on Friday, because they always do. 20 minutes later, there is an hysterical call from my neighbor, who had just called Time Warner and was told by another Rep that the problem had been fixed on Saturday, nevermind what the serviceman had just found, it must be them and they need to make an appointment. Rest of day: re-read 5 more books. Felt better: re-potted some houseplants too. Tried to reboot about 2 times.
Monday - woke up at 6am. No internet, no TV, went to work. Back home at 8pm Yay! cable is back. No reboot necessary.
Weird weekend. Hope it never happens again.

Well, lemme see...
I got my Druid an Earring of the Solstice (YAY! +1 Mregen for meh!) and my brother's newly remade Froglok ShadowKnight got Boots of Slaughter and a shield with clicky Deadeye and great stats, and also got a.. Blade of Disruption? o.O I forget. It had the effect: Planar Stun, at level 55. Not great for twink, ugh. Only does 16dmg hits at level 11.
Umm.. .... *minds goes blank* OH! I did my first MM! It was the one in Highpass Hold where ya had ta be either a Warrior or Cleric Highpass Hold Guard. I will NEVER, EVER EVER EVER be the Cleric on that one again. *shudder* On my second and last one so far, I played warrior. EVERYONE NOTE, TAKE OFF YOUR FRIGGING SHIELD AND FRIGGING SWORD! You do a lot more damage that way, and besides, you don't need any extra AC, that Cleric can cast Blessing of Temperance and the Group Temperance spell. *snicker*
Umm... my first failure on a Kael Drakkel raid.. some MORONIC IDIOTIC DUMBASS Drunken Ninja-wannabe Mastah Ranjah pulled the Avatar of WAR, friggin' moron, saying "I'll tank!" ... we got ripped. -_- I succor'ed everyone 'cept him, and made him 'attempt' to tank it, all the while /ooc'ing his non-existant success about how well it was going. A quick /w (or /who for you people who don't shorten anything :P) showed him to ... not be there, ten seconds later. We got a Wizard friend in, and a level 67 Mage alt of a guy playing the current level 58 Wizard went it. Well, we almost downed him... then the Arena started respawning. Oi. Lucky that Wizard had a 5 second Evac, heehee. But we did get MAX ally with Coldain, Dain Frostreaver IV, and kindly to Yelinak, which is odd considering that we've never killed Vindi or Tormax.
I digress, it was fun, but watching my brother farm Spiderling Silk for 3 hours, all the while wonder where his Mage pet-toy uber-geared green pet wandered all over was funneh to the utmost. Oh yeah, and never try to farm silk in Nektulos as a Froglok ShadowKnight of Inoruuk, they kinda don't like you much. -_-

Friday, got up early for a job interview, found out last night I wasnt going to get it. :(
Came home and played the shaman a bit. Did some chores, spoke briefly with Kajolus about his vist and made plans to meet.
In the evening I went back to Courtin and emarr, continuing to move stuff around on traders and other toons on that account. Plan on bringing him to Povar and AS at the end of Feb. Maybe sooner. Spent some time with a friend helping her kill HGs on her 35 rogue.
Saturday was doing more moving around, other friends were going to two box a ldon and I tagged along as winjon to do the pulling. It worked well until I pulled with too few hp. In using LOH I switched targets and the mezzes got mixed up. I and the druid died. Got a lesser reward and a nice robe drop for guild tribute, but would rather have had the win.
Later on went back into trader mode.
Sunday was work, in the evening actually watched some TV, moved items around, used allah to see what all I had squirelled away.

In using LOH I switched targets and the mezzes got mixed up. I and the druid died. Got a lesser reward and a nice robe drop for guild tribute, but would rather have had the win.
Later on went back into trader mode.
Sunday was work, in the evening actually watched some TV, moved items around, used allah to see what all I had squirelled away.

Woogie -- Will be so glad when you get back stateside and can come play Robb again --- your honey is doing great -- she spent most of the weekend in EC with the toons. It will be nice to have both you on raids again. Maybe I will be lvl 62 and have the V buff you everyone !!! Stay safe.
Woot!!!!!!! I was hoping that this was the true Sokewl of Luclin!!! Good seein ya!! These days out at sea just seem to drag on, and it's kind of like the movie ground hog day where everyday is exactly the same, no matter what I do I still wake up in the exact same spot at the exact same time. LOL
