Daily Bloggery 2009-04-11: FOR THE HORDE!

I think I'll start this slow Saturday morning edition of "WTF's RichO Up To?" with last night's WoWing with Gwenny.

Last night was almost all PvP. We fought in two Wintergrasp PvP battles, won one and lost one (we almost always lose when defending it). These battles hand out massive amounts of honor points, which can be used as currency to buy decent PvP gear and gems. We lost the one battleground we fought in, then ran a huge raid in on the Alliance and took out their very heavily guarded NPC faction leaders in their capital cities. Not just "took out" the leaders -- we PWNED them. The throne room in Stormwind looked like Orgrimmar on a party night. That bit of PvP action won me the in-game Achievement FOR THE HORDE! and a Reins of the Black War Bear mount. Now my lone epic raptor mount isn't so lonesome anymore. We ended the evening by taking down Utgarde Pinnacle on Heroic mode. UP is one of the hardest of the heroic dungeons because one boss in there is a big challenge. Therein I scored Sovereign"s Belt off of King Ymon. I have one Green item left, rest are heroic blues or epic purples. Another week or two of this and I will be well and truly "geared" for VoA, Naxx and OS (Vault of Archeron, Naxxaramas and Obsidian Sanctum, three raid instances).

Health: SGLs are solid green 90-120 mg/dl. The smallish wound on my left leg is completelly healed, as is one of the two on my right. Drainage is way way down. I'm walking more, and next weekend, Gwenny and I are going to take a long walk for coffee, breakfast and maybe a bit of magick on Sunday morning.

Social.net: Serenity game @ Michelle's tomorrow, and D&D / Miresseia the weekend of the 26th, probably at Chez Iz. Next weekend and 5/2 are trips to Gwenny's, the lattere capped by a visit to my daughter in Berkeley. In both

Gwenny: This lady continues to delight and excite me. And on a slow Saturday, a "Reasons I Love Her" double-header. Reason 30-something I love her: I really appreciate the relative lack of drama in our relationship. In one particular prior of mine, intense drama had already began in earnest by the time we had reached this stage of the relationship. We may have WoW guild drama (and plenty of that, to be sure!), family drama, work dramas, etc. . . but between just us, minimal drama. Reason 30-something+1 is that she does not expect, demand, request or require that I freeze my old friends out of my life in favor of focussing on her. This was a major bone of contention in one of my priors. In fact, she encourages me to maintain my old connections.
Now my friends have a reason to love her, too.
