Oh. my. Gods! It rocks, totally & utterly. There are undead & skeletal horses you can buy as an Undead (for a mere 80 - 1000 gold) - they look so incredible. And my Taurean (they're basically minotaurs) is quite the cutey. I decided on a female character this time around - I normally play bruising male warriors named Zane or crafty shapeshifters named Coyote Bob... but I went w/Zhaan (it's sort of a feminine Zane) - she's a hunter, and she can carry a fucking gun!!! It's too cool! I've been watching her little butt run across the plains since I finally got my video card in gear last night (by that I mean Tuesday night). I seriously considered skipping my accounting class this evening so I could just sit & play. Rob was wandering around in Undercity - the Undead world. The graphics are just gorgeous, there is a fantastic graveyard there - and can't forget the horses! I'm gonna have to create an undead something just so I can get one. I feel like a little kid at Christmas: "I want a pony! I want a pony!"
In other news, I'm still sick. I don't know what I've got, but I've got something. It's like a combination of cold & flu - I've got the nasal/upper respiratory/scratchy throat of a cold, and the body aches & exhaustion of a flu... and a deep tightening in my chest, but I'm not sure if that's from being out of b.p. meds or part of the fluey coldy thing. It reminds me of when I had pneumonia once - there is someone very heavy sitting on my chest & I'm walking through deep mud. Rob thinks he's coming down w/whatever it is that I have, but we all know Rob's brain controls his immune system. I've never known anyone who could just think themselves sick. It's pathetic.
I sent a friend a business proposition - in a way, it would benefit two people who are totally not myself, which is bizarre for me. I'm into long-term investments, obviously - I've been waiting how long now for the in-laws to kick it?
Oh, yeah, my accounting professor told us about something called i-bonds tonight. Apparently, they're government issued savings bonds w/a 10-year maturity. The current interest rate is about 6.5% & is based on the going inflation. The starting interest rate will change after 6 months, but damn! If I had a thousand or so dollars sitting around doing nothing, I'd buy one. He says once a month he & his wife buy 2 for $500 each & he's got it set up automatically through his bank account. Cool, huh?
