So we were doing Sarth 3d today and I felt I was not pulling my weight dps wise...among others, but i'm working on my failings right now :)....I always felt SP's have such a slow start...dot dot cast that do that, then start MF'ing.

I'm looking for some opinions on spell rotations. Do you even use SW:D? etc etc. I'm off to work, so I can start reading up on this when I get back later.

Thanks.

... on exercise.

Last week, didn't get much exercise in. Lots of good social, saw a bunch of friends -- but no climbing or dancing or anything.

So, today I did both! Climbed from about 11am-4pm, then home & shower & quick food. Then taught some swing dance for just over an hour. Then off to Barrymores for retro-80s and two and half hours nearly solid of dancing. :) Sadly, that's still about the limit for my knees, though. :(

Yes.

I know I'm a Holy Priest. I know I'm wearing a Shadow Priest belt, and don't NEED the hit. But if you didn't notice from the fact that the rest of my gear is a hodgepodge of random blues and purples, I am what you might call a "fresh eighty". The belt that dropped was a considerable upgrade from the mid-70s belt I had before, +hit or not.

Trust me, I'm more than capable of healing your Heroic UK run even with one item giving me 38 hit. I'm more than aware of how my class and spec work. The fact that I healed your sorry ass through the first two bosses wasn't enough of an indication?

No love,
Cy

Maybe fail, maybe not -
hey, at least *I* had fun.

2 feather duvets, 1 single, one double, with covers; clean (just washed).

To be collected from my place (Ottawa), or from my parents' (Orleans), or my work (Kanata), or by other arrangement; mailing them will require that you cover that cost.

Friends (whom I know IRL) have priority, but anyone can ask for them and if no friends have claimed them in a week, they're yours even if I don't know you directly.

We ended up at Feast of the Hare for four hours, which was the right length of time. I found it a little hard... like jumping into cold water... I left Ottawa under so many strong emotions, and so quickly. I didn't get to talk to everyone I would have liked to, but almost. People were very friendly, and exactly how I left them. It was like three months had passed instead of eight years. A bit uncanny really.

Bug was a hit in her Elizabethan outfit and I was so proud to be able to show off my handsome hubband and my adorable bug!

Paul fought in his first ever tourney, took out a knight, and received many bruises plus a whole bunch of instruction after the tourney. He was in little fighter-geek heaven. Sorry Borealis, your instructional aspect is so not comparing well to the eastern kingdoms.

Today we went out for walk in the glorious weather and I had a long nap. I picked up a cold at Hare and I'm glad I made the decision not to let Bug circulate.

Tonight we return to Montreal. I've decided I need, as we say to Paul's teenage son, an Attitude Adjustment concerning Montreal. I'm going to try a little harder to make this relationship (me + Montreal) work.

Bug's new habit is trumpeting like an elephant, which involves a complicated lip/bubbling/vocal combination. It's very funny.

I don't even know where to start. I had a blast. The week of spending 10 hours a day on emails seems to have been worth it.

I made it into the order of the White Wolf Fian ( project links behind cut ). It was a long year. 3 new challengers too! *squeeee*

Emily read something in court on behalf of the children of the Barony. So much heart strings pulled. *dies*

I dragged gaynip up and down stairs all day long. She put in about a 9 hour lady-in-waiting shift with a possible hang over.

AND j_v_lynch and I barely bickered at all!!

Court was... so wacky. I laughed so hard I cried. It was insane.

Today was a Baronial Counsel meeting. We covered a lot of stuff. ladyblacksmith gave me some really fantastic award recs afterwards. Must remember to tell Lynch.

Lydia is sick. Fever and cough. I am certain she over did it yesterday. She plays very hard.

I'm exhausted.

Saw this article today, thought I'd post it because, well, because it supports one of my personal dieting mantras*. "No fruit juice!" is something I'm militant about. To my mind drinking fruit juice is exactly the same as drinking regular soda - a giant calorie bomb of sugar with no feeling of fullness. The process of making juice is the process of extracting the beneficial part of the fruit - the fiber - and leaving the part that's there to make humans want to consume it - the sugar. There's nothing magical or special about fructose that makes it healthier than the sugar used in soda. Sugar is sugar, it all exists to carry calories into your body.

If you are dieting and thinking that having fruit juice is your healthy option, you are shooting yourself in the foot. Ounce for ounce, soda has fewer calories, and neither one is providing any significant health benefits. You might as well have a Coke and a smile, because (from the article), "The upside of juice consumption is so infinitesimal compared to the downside that we shouldn't even be having this discussion," said Dr. Robert Lustig, a pediatric endocrinologist at UC San Francisco.

* Nobody said I had to be impartial!

Oh my god! Why am I going go reahearsal, and then centrepointe to build sets, rather than taking the bike out to the Gatineau hills in this AMAZING weather. What a glorious sunny warm day!

I went to the Capital Slam -- a spoken word (i.e. performed poetry) competition. I haven't been in a year or two, but wanted to get back to one. It was quite enjoyable, and poetry seems to be doing quite well in Ottawa now. They had a far bigger crowd than I remember from a couple years back, and they seem to be doing it twice a month (1st and 3rd Saturdays) rather than once a month. I quite enjoyed the evening, and I think I should get back again, rather than waiting two years. Unfortunately, almost everyone I remembered or knew from slam didn't seem to be around anymore. ;(

And the media blocked it, too, I bet.

Cause ongoing use messes it up. Especially at a party.

Now, everything is back filed where it belongs.

Apparently I have a bunch of duplicates. Not ones I've burned for travel, but actual duplicates. Hm... should re-org the car CDs in, too.

A dilemma.

Auditions for Urinetown are Nov. 28, show is in March. Audition for Producers will be...march-ish, for a show in July. That could mean it is impractical to take an ASL class in the spring, I am not sure I can devote a night a week if I get into both shows. This bums me out a bit, I am still enjoying ASL classes more than any other schooling I have ever done. I really want to do level 4, but it's a hard lesson to learn in life that you can't do everything.

Now, there is a chance I won't get into Urinetown. Not for lack of talent I think, but it's primarily a Carleton U production, and I suspect they favour Carleton students if they get enough of them with talent to audition. I didn't get the part in Batboy, even though I am pretty sure I did a kick ass audition. So, if I don't get into Urinetown, I will then have a tough decision. I could take ASL, and hope I can jig the schedule for Producers such that it conflicts as little as possible, but I'd still probably end up missing the end of the course schedule. This also assume of course I get into Producers, which also isn't a guarantee, but I think I have a good chance at least at a chorus role.

One thing at a time I guess.
