I didn't do exercise again for the second day.  The fact that yesterday was hot enough to warrant using air conditioner and it didn't work didn't help.  I had to go to Nordstrom to buy some shoe accessory.  By the time I got back, the AC miraculously works again.  Albeit, it would seem that we're due for an expensive repair or upgrade.

Due to the fact that I wanted to get a good night sleep, I only managed to put 8 toons through LFR.  I did managed to finished up the last toon's 5.1 PVE quest.  Now I just have to finish the PVP portion.

Day 1057 - Mists of Pandarian Day 278

Today is the first time ever that I managed to put all 9 of my toons through LFR.  Albeit, I didn't finish each and everyone's daily quests, but my emphasis was on doing the LFR.  It would've been nice to actually get something.  Alas, nothing.

Today was also the hottest day of the year.  It's also the first time this year we tried to use air condition.  After a while, the air stop coming out cold, so we'll probably need to have someone look at it.

Ran 3 toons through LFR today.  Utterly nothing exciting to report.

Day 1055 - Mists of Pandarian Day 276

I'm putting my 4th toon through LFR today.  Still nothing to show for (the loot tends to be inferior to what I'm already using or no drop at all).  Well, doing Warlock on the Forgotten Depth now.  At least I got the boss I wanted.

Day 1054 - Mists of Pandarian Day 275

I tried to put 4 toons today through LFR.  Unfortunately for me, the mage got the last boss of Pinnacle of Thunder, the only boss there I don't need stuff from.  The other toons left their raid instances similarly empty handed.  Such is the roll of the dice.

Day 1053 - Mists of Pandarian Day 274

New raid week, and my first toon is my main character for a change.  The problem with doing this toon has always been that it's relative easy for her to queue up as a tank, thus her DPS gear is still near iLevel 476, making her my worse dps charactr to do dailies.  Without doing dailies I don't get the necessary lesser lucky coin to get the lucky coin.  This means I often do the LFR first and then the dailies.  This is less than enjoyable on a low dps toon.

Day 1052 - Mists of Pandarian Day 273

I actually got 4 out of 9 of my toons to finish the Black Prince Epic quest from patch 5.1 done.  Yes, i'm several releases behind.  3 of those toons I finish with a warlock that was looking for a tank.  I managed to convince a friend to help me out on the mage (she doesn't have a tanking spec, but it really doesn't required one).  Now just 4 more toons to go.

The other stickler point is to win 2 battleground.  I tried on one, and got utterly massacred.  I supposed now that I'm closed to maxed out on LFR gears on some of my toons, it's time to turn them loose to finish that leg of the questline.

I put 5 toons through LFR yesterday.  My death knight finally replaces her blue tanking helmet with a extra tier token piece.  The mage got a slight upgraded main hand weapon.  The shadow priest replaced her belt and the warlock got a new ring.  Albeit, nothing else of note.

Today is also the final day of my vacation.  All in all, not that expensive of a vacation.  Other than the lunch at Disneyland on Wednesday, I hardly spend anything.  Now, I have to go back to Costco to pickup a replacement microwave.

Day 1050 - Mists of Pandarian Day 271

I went ahead and buys some pet that I know I'll have problem with on Raiding with Leashes II: Attunement Edition.  The one from Serpentshrine Cavern's end boss I bought for 6k.  I also bought the mini Void Reaver because my caster will have tremedous problem with that boss.  Strange that my death knight managed to get a second copy.  After buying the last one (from the Grand Astromer), I now have Tito, which has a very amusing idle animation.

As of this writing, I've ran 4 toons through LFR.  My mage went through 4 wipes on Halls of Flesh Shaping first boss.  But managed to get an upgrade main hand.  In the end, it's kind of worth it.

Day 1049 - Mists of Pandarian Day 270

Despite having to go to Rose Hills today, I still managed to put 5 toons through LFR.  I've also started to take my toons on their off time to go through old raid instances to get the Raiding with Leashes II: Attunement Edition.  I have lots of toons, so I should have no problem pick up spare ones to sell.

My balance druid finally got rid of her iLevel 476 trinket.  Despite having higher iLevel trinket, it was still the best until this one dropped for her.  She's my third toon with that trinket.

Day 1048 - Mists of Pandarian Day 269

Another day, another sets of repeat gear.  My paladin tank got another sets of gear she doesn't need.  The new robe my mage is wearing is now going back to the shelf as she actually got a replacement tier 15 helm.  To preserve the previous tier bonus, back goes my non-tier robe.

The poor shadow priest is the last of my character to finally get a tier piece.  This also means that her non-tier 15 piece she got earlier goes back on the shelf.  The fact that it's a warlock look-alike piece doesn't really fit her.

Day 1047 - Mists of Pandarian Day 268

I went off to Disneyland this morning with the aim of just walking around and do some shopping. Didn't get anything, but I did managed to get lots of walking done. I had lunch at Cathay Circle again, and the menu is a bit different from Dinner. I had salmon.

Salmon with Avocado

Despite this, I still managed to put 4 toons through LFR.  The mage is wearing a new robe, the priest finally got a tier piece (a robe).  My paladin continue her problem of getting repeat gears, and got her third trinket that she's not using.  Finally, my hunter got enough valor point to buy a new neck piece, and got the cross bow to complete all of the range weapon from this raid.  It doesn't shoot lightning, but I was tired of how the gun sound.

Day 1046 - Mists of Pandarian Day 267

Server was offline for good 6 hours. I took this opportunity to go to get some fuel for my car in preparation for tomorrow's trip. I also stop by the Vietnamese noodle shop for some pho. Even with that, I managed to put 5 characters through LFR, a new record for me. My death knight got a new glove, my monk got 2 piece of gear that she's not going to use, and I bought my druid a new iLevel 522 wrist. So all in all, nothing spectacular.

Day 1045 - Mists of Pandarian Day 266

Thus begins my vacation. It actually didn't get started until 8AM this morning as my on-call run until that time. Surprisingly enough, I didn't get to work on my toon as much as I thought I would. Still managed to buy my monk tank her iLevel 522 belt. I keep on running my paladin tank through Halls of the Flesh shaping, hoping for the tier chest piece. I only managed to get trinket that I already have, and not using. 120/81/72 88 mg/DL 176lb

I put 4 toons through LFR today.  Other than spending a bit of extra times with my monk to get the necessary valor point to buy her iLevel 522 belt, I didn't get anything noteworthy (either something I already have better of, or nothing at all).

Day 1043 - Mists of Pandarian Day 264

Ran my mage and paladin through the LFR today.  The Paladin did get a tanking trinket in the process.  Too bad I already have it.  The mage also scored a iLevel 522 set piece glove from Nalak outdoor world boss.  Too bad she already has one.

Day 1042 - Mists of Pandarian Day 263

Put my monk tank and hunter through LFR yesterday.  The hunter is almost at a point where she doesn't need much from LFR anymore, and the monk just got her 4th piece of Tier 15 set (Shoulder Piece).  She still need to run Pinnacle of the Storm for the head piece, but she's almost done with the place as well.

Day 1041 - Mists of Pandarian Day 262

Another 2 toons through LFR today.  Both toons (boomkin, and warlock) managed to get full run of Pinnacle of the Storm.  The druid got a offhand she already have and not using.  The warlock managed to snag the Tier 15 helmet.  This gets her her Tier 15 4 piece bonus, which is a fairly large bump in DPS.  This is my third character with 4 piece tier 15 bonus.

Day 1040 - Mists of Pandarian Day 261

New raid week, and for a change, I actually got something useful.  The mage got the same offhand she's already using, and it got disenchanted.  My Death Knight finally got rid of the final piece of rare gear on her, and got bumped up to iLevel 502 for that trouble.  She's now doing a respectable amount of damage.

Day 1039 - Mists of Pandarian Day 260

Put 2 casters through LFR.  Didn't get anything useful.  As usual, the quality of the LFR participant decreases the closer you get to the end of the raid week.  Last night was just dreadful.  For tanking the bird boss, one of the tank have never been there, nor has he bother reading up on the encounter.  Fortunately, I escape from there with just one wipe.

Today's measurement is a wee bit off.  Compilment of having only 2 hours of sleep.

Day 1038 - Mists of Pandarian Day 259

Proving that my previous post wasn't in jest, my rogue ran through the second stage of LFR looking for that elusive dagger.  Still didn't get it.  She did get an upgraded cloak, and on the Nalak / Oondasta world boss run, I got this rather mouthful name Vest of the Bordomorono from the dinosaur boss.  That was a rather nice piece of upgrade, but still I want better weapon.

The loot god is fickle with me.  My one toon that's fairly set on her weapon (hunter) got a bow and glove  that she doesn't need (she already have a better gun and much better glove), while my rogue is still pining for her upgraded weapon.  Still, both my rogue and monk managed to obtain a slightly better boots (actually the same one) for their roles.

I've found that Nalak can be a good source of gear drop, as my hunter finished up her Tier 15 collection with her second iLevel Tier 15 piece, this time the pants.  Now with the exception of the chance to get the mount, I don't have much reason to run this toon through the world boss.

I didn't have time to play as I had in past Saturday.  But as it stands, I did get some rathr nice loots for the death knight.  She got her 2 piece Tier 15 bonus and both a boot and cloak.  Now if she can just replace her rare quality helmet, I'd be happy.

Day 1035 - Mists of Pandarian Day 256

I spend some rather fruitless hours grinding in LFR with my mage.  Didn't get a thing.  However, Nalak was kind to me and reward her with an iLevel 522 glove.  Now I don't have to run the first part of the Throne of Thunder LFR anymore with this toon.

Another day of little time for the game.  No loot drop for my shadow priest, so I have to settle for the valor point gear.

Sorry about the late late post.  Being busy the past couple of days.

On Warcraft front, nothing significantly dropped for my casters, so I have to settled with just buying iLevel 522 bracer for my warlock.

Day 1032 - Mists of Pandarian Day 253

New raid week.  Lets hope that my computer is better behaving today than yesterday.

Over the past week, I haven't been getting quality sleep.  This morning, I woke up at 3:30AM, and I cannot go back to sleep.  My fitbit tracking is reporting quit a bit of tossing and turning.  Still not quit sure how I can get better sleep.

Day 1031 - Mists of Pandarian Day 252

My gaming computer had a bit of issue that prompted me to try download the entire game from Blizzard.  Unfortunately this means for 5 hours, my Internet is a very much out of action.

I was able to do instance using my spare computer.  It's normally fine when I actually have bandwidth to play, but there isn't.  As a result, I went about just doing Scenario for the end of raid week.

On other front, I finally got my annual physical done today.  Undress and wearing only the gown still feel as cold as usual.  My doctor is generally happy with my health with the exception of my recent weight gain.  So I'm going to make a concerted effort to not eat carb.

After some rather sub-par LFR, my monk tank finally got her second Tier 15 piece (chest).  This somewhat augmented her ability.  I noticed that this monk's threat generation is really high, which can lead to unintended consequences.

Day 1029 - Mists of Pandarian Day 250

Of the many toons I took through LFR today, my paladin getting 2 piece T15 bonus is the most significant.  It's also the only loot I got in the past couple of days.  The bonus itself is a wee bit underwhelming, but it will do.
