Currently I’m spending much more time playing WoW then I guess could be considered healthy. Not nearly as much as Xiaorui does but she’s a special beast. I have all these great pipe dreams of leveling an alt for fun but end up spending all my time playing Loannae. This game takes up nearly the bulk of my evenings when I do have other things I could, possibly should, be doing. The other stuff just isn’t as much fun. Besides, being the guild’s best healer is a bit of an ego trip. Still playing around with Loannae’s gear and there are some options I can theorycraft but they will have to remain on paper for the time being as I simply don’t have the gold on hand nor the emblems to procure the materials to really delve into it.

The house is very settled in now. Our belongings have places to go and it does feel like our home. Of course, due to the above paragraph, I have not hung any pictures or shelves yet. I know it really won’t take any time to do and yet, I’m happy being very lazy about it. I’ll have to get it done before the New Year because damnit I’m just that proactive! :D

Speaking of New Year’s, my parents are taking us to Washington D.C., New York, and Baltimore for Christmas. It promises to be a very fun trip with all of us being in Times Square for the ball drop. Ideally I’d like to be able to tour the White House and check out the Smithsonian again and I’ll only have a scant few days to do so.

Been spending a lot of time hanging out with my friend Juan on the weekends and, unfortunately, we’ve had to put our weekly 4e Dungeons and Dragons game on hold due to various reasons. This worked out really well for me because, as our DM, I umm didn’t quite have the encounters and story line completely (or even remotely close) to being fleshed out. It is my first time being a proper DM and none of us (Xiaorui, Andrew, Chad, or Juan) have played 4e before. Juan and I have some experience with older versions of D&D but we’re all learning. This gives me some wiggle room with how encounters work and I’ve house-ruled some things to really keep the focus on the game being fun. I should define fun quickly though – fun is damn near killing the party each encounter, the group seems to like that. I think it reminds us all of WoW with the constant wiping as we struggle to clear new bosses.

Final note: I started drawing a potential iPhone app this morning. Not going to go into to much detail just yet but I will say Moleskins are perfect for doing sketches. Then again, I think you all knew that.

One month is plenty of time to actually create an entry I really do stand behind be it large format photographs, blog entries, design ideas, or pretty much anything. This does not mean I won’t still be adding material to the site; please note the Twitter and Flickr feeds on the right. I actually do add things to those semi-regularly. Last thing, I do actually have a few things in the works right now which are being polished for release.

Cheers.
