Cool beans :)

Just had a nice long chat w/the Hula Rat on IM. It was a wonderful surprise.

And... in amidst my classwork, I took my goofily-named Blood Elf Paladin, Evilwyn, from scratch to lvl 40 in about 6 days of play-time. Got her warhorse this morning and since she gained the riding skill I went ahead & blew the 9 gold on a bird mount. I got the black one - I think I might have to blow another 9g & get the purple one instead. The black one doesn't look very flashy. Evilwyn's got black hair & is sporting the Chief Brigadier's set which is black & red, so I thought the black bird would look stunning, but it just looks, well, meh. I gave Kitsune, my lvl 40 'lock, a red undead horse along w/her felsteed because it looks absolutely gross - a skeletal horse with flayed, raw flesh in patches. Kitsune's got the worst-looking robe on right now - it looks like a burlap sack mated with a straight jacket. So I have an escaped undead mental patient on a raw skeletal horse. Now I have one lvl 61 and three, count 'em, three, toons at 40. I'm really good at bringing my guys up to 40, but after that they end up stuck in Booty Bay for eternity. They're all craft-mules anyway. I took Zane's skinning away from him & gave him herbalism because Rob really wants an herbalist to pal around w/Death out in the Outlands. Zane, my bad ass lvl 61 Tauren hunter (with an elite wolf mount, no less) is now wandering Eversong Woods like a freakin' hippy, picking flowers. I may as well take away his axe & give him the wildflower bouquet or something. At least, he's out there when he's not running Death around Stranglethorn killing lvl 35 trolls. "Kill all trolls, all trolls in STV must be killed. If you see a troll, kill it & loot it. We want their mojo, their wildvine, their tusks, their necklaces, and some vials of troll ball-sweat while you're at it". Or lvl 40 pirates... "Some pirate stole my eye & I want it back. Hell, kill all the pirates while you're out there & take their tobacky, too. And if they're hanging out with trolls, kill them & get some snot in a bottle for me".

Could be worse - I could be running back & forth between two guys who are about three feet apart. Gnome: "We're not talking right now. You go tell that goblin to my left that I have his widget for him"...
Goblin: "Tell that gnome his widget is missing some pieces."
Gnome: "That goblin wouldn't know a decent widget if it was lodged in his eyesocket. Go get him some more widgets from those trolls you already killed three times on separate quests for their lungs, toenails and loincloths."

We also watched Night at the Museum last night. I freakin' loved it, even if most of the good stuff was all shown in the commercials. Ben Stiller was quite real & Owen Wilson was actually acting & not just being Owen Wilson. The tyrannosaurus skeleton stole the show & the mummy's bodyguards were perfect. Rob bought Full Metal Alchemist: Conqueror of Shamballa because it was on sale at Wal-Mart (why he was at Wal-Mart betraying his Union wife I have no idea... especially why he was in there alone... he couldn't even wait til I can walk again, geez) but we haven't watched it yet. Maybe tonight. I'm up way past my bedtime, considering Rob's got a 1:30 dr appt & I've got physical torture at 3:30. I don't want to go, honestly. I'm tired of those people poking me.
