That's gonna leave a mark...

Mood: Pretty Happy.
Music: Birdhouse In Your Soul, They Might Be Giants
Game: World of Warcraft (60 Rogue, 15 Priest, 9 Warrior (PvP))
Book: Prisoner's Dilemma, William Poundstone
Muffin: There will be no muffin talk here. I had a tangerine for breakfast.
Punchline: "What's my name?! Say it, bitch!" "Oh, Cheeseburglar!"

My brain is scattered today...so if my blog entry seems all over the place, that's why.

I've decided to quit eating muffins in the morning. I probably could do without the starch every day...and while they are mighty tasty, and I really do enjoy the routine of seeing what's available that day, and saying hi to the guys in the shop, and the cool music in the shop and all...I do need to start watching all these carbs. So.

I've realized that I haven't had a Diet Coke in weeks...and I don't miss it in the slightest. I've been drinking Poland Spring sparkling water...and it serves the exact same purpose. Something to carry around with me and drink all day. This week, I have a case of the lime flavored seltzer. It's better than the tangerine flavored seltzer.

Anyway, yesterday night, we stormed Black Rock Depths in World of Warcraft. The crew was: Bardok (Rogue, 60), Jeho (Hunter, 60), myself (Rogue, 60), Abyss (Warlock, 57), and Firethorn (Shaman, 53.)

Can't speak for the rest of 'em...but I had a GREAT time. A pair of rogues gives you flexibility for pulling and tactics...although you DO give up the taunt and main tanking abilities of the warrior. The hunter's pet is a fair sub for a tank, and the traps of the hunter make a huge difference in splitting groups. The warlock for AoE and banishing elementals. The shaman for healing and defensive totems, and you have a pretty powerful 5 man group there.

We really started flying in there, and communication was good. A few wipes...but hey...it's going to happen.

Remind me to being my fire resist gear next time. It'd be a big help.

I didn't get much loot, really. And I didn't really care too much. I was having way too much fun just getting through the dungeon. I collected more Dark Iron...which I need for Thorium Brotherhood faction....

I also made a really good pseudo-Indian dish for dinner last night. Cauliflower, potatoes, peas, and shrimp, all in a fresh curry. Turmeric, cumin, coriander, salt, chili, and ginger makes a perfectly servicable curry powder. At least I think so. Was very tasty...and I even have some left over for tonight. Although I should probably make the steak I got from Fresh Direct on Saturday.

Lately, I've been realizing that I'm rushing to cook food before it spoils...which is a drag. I can't really get food delivered twice a week...or can I? It's a $40 minimum. Maybe if I ordered exactly $40 bucks twice a week, I could swing it. I DO order $80 of food a week...Just have to plan it better. Something to think about...
