Day 65 : World of Warcraft Patch 4.0.1 Day 2

To no one's surprise (except Blizzard's official new release), the game did not come up until 5PM PDT. I was attending the support group, so I didn't get home until 8:30PM. Thankfully the guild realized that there is no way in hell we're raiding on the biggest patch ever for the game. Not only is lots of mod that people have been depending on broken (Thank god I got Grid back), but the class mechanics have changed so much that it's unwise to forge ahead. We did a 3 drake Sartharian 10, and I was the lone tank. I still have not get a hang of the mechanics because people are pulling aggro off from me frequently. The good news for me is Black Drake drop for me. Mount #124.

Day 64 : World of Warcraft patch 4.0.1

Today is the day World of Warcraft patch 4.0.1 is deployed. I expect nothing meaningful done, lots of mod updates, lots of mods not working. Good thing I have the support group tonight.

Went down to Romana's sandwich shop and ordered a Grill Chicken Sandwich for lunch. The side order is pasta salad, I ate the bell pepper. As for the sandwich, I kept half for tomorrow in the fridge, and use the bread as cutting board for the chicken. No point in trying to eat the bread, as I don't have the stomach for it anyway. Ate the sundry tomatoes, lettuce, cheese and bacon separately. Even at 1/2 sandwich, this appears to be too much for my stomach to handle.

Day 63 - The Kingslayer Gnome Warlock

Kasukabe finally got over that last Icecrown Citadel 10 normal achievement. Now all of my level 80 characters have at least that.  Oh, today I crosses the 50 pounds loss mark.  Somehow I didn't noted this.

Day 61 - Almost There (Warcraft Achievement)

So we band together for another alt run at ICC10.  My remaining level 80 Kasukabe finally got a couple of cracks at Lich King encounter.  However, by the time we got to him, it's 1 AM already, and people clearly are not awake.  Lets hope we can finish him so I can collect the Kingslayer title.

I swear, if my head isn't attached to my body, I'd loose it as well.  Lost the vendor promo water bottle at car dealership getting my car serviced.  Well, time to go back to the oversize bottle that doesn't fit my car.

Day 60 : What is Full?

Well, here we are almost 9 weeks since the surgery.  I think I have some sensation of what hunger is, although I'm not entirely sure about about that.  However, I still don't have a good handle on what is full.

At home, when I prepared my 5 ounces of (frozen) meat into NuWave oven and the sweet bell pepper, I'm good with that serving size.  Since it really doesn't vary, it works out well.  When I eat out, I'm still trying to guess how much I can and should eat.  Thus far, with the exception of the trip to eat fried tofu and the Friday soup run, pretty much all of my meal excursions have ended with me over eating.

I still cannot sense when I'm full, at all.

Day 59 : End of The Wrath of the Lich King

December 7, 2010 marks the end of the second World of Warcraft expansion.  Here's some of the highlights:

I was fired from my previous guild after I got sick of listening to rhetorical question from guild master.  I managed to get into m current guild within 2 days.  Looking back, my old guild still have not complete Icecrown Citadel 25 raid, while 3/4 of my level 80 characters have completed that.  Well, that's about as much as I'll say about that.  My current guild is currently working on heroic version of the instance, and we're rather close to the final boss of the Plagueworks.

In between the previous expansion and this one, I managed to finished the World Event meta-achievement and get Violet Prot-Drake I'm not too crazy about the size of Proto-Drake even though I own Red (Heroic Achievement) and Green (Oracle tribe item on a weekly timer).  In the best in-game financial decision I've ever made, I bought Ashes of Al'ar for the low low price of 4000 gold.  I did managed to get Rivendare's Deathcharger.  Having a Paladin riding a Death Knight mount is still interesting.  Another rare mount I got is Swift Zulian Tiger, now I just have to get the Raptor mount before the instance goes away.  We went through 2 different Halloween holiday event, and I did not win the Headless Horseman's Ride (although I did lost one roll).  Well, another Halloween is coming, and lets hope for best.  I got Great Brewfest Kodo last year, and manage to give my newest level 80 character, Kasukabe one as well. Thus far, I have 3 out of five Horde mounts (Deathcharger, Kodo, Hawkstrider), Raptor is the only remaining mount that's available to cross faction as there doesn't seemed to be a wolf mount for Alliance.  I've also been farming Kharazan off and on, but since that's not going away, I'll continue to plug at it.  Haven't got around farming for the turtle mount, and the other rare spawn mount.

My vanity pet collection is currently 126, including a couple that I paid real money for (Blizzard Store).  My mount is 124.  At one span in between major content release, I got bored and went on a pet collection spree.  I must have spend over 50000 gold on all of my pets.  

When Cataclysm, the next expansion arrives, everyone with spare 5000 gold will probably buy the faster flying mount speed (I'm saving up 5000 gold just for that).  I did get all 4 of my level 80 characters mammoth mount with vendor to speed up selling vendor trash.  I also got them Argent Squires for the same purpose in the instance.
