Gray Friday

[mellicious]

I don't have much to say because I didn't really do much today. I played GuildWars with columbina and folded fabric. (You can see pictures of some of the fabric on flickr.) It really is an obscene amount of fabric. I am going to have to try to figure out how many yards it is, when I get done. Although I probably don't want to know.

Let's see, in GuildWars I played Celia, the sort-of-baby monk (she's level 18 now), and Col played Hecuba the elementalist, and we did a couple of missions in Kryta, and then we switched over to Nightfall and did some stuff there. We got Celia to Consulate Docks, and that meant she could buy good armor there - you all ought to know by now how I love my armor - and then we got her the two "foreign" heros, Zenmai and Olias, mostly just because the quests were there, although Olias in particular is extremely useful. I didn't take any screenshots of the new armor but it's this stuff. I think the wrapped look is sort of cool. You can dye the gray parts, but I haven't so far because I couldn't decide what color would look good. I sorta like the way the gray looks, anyway.

I called this entry "Gray Friday" because there was no shopping going on here and it was a gray, gloomy, chilly day. It's been chilly since Wednesday but today I finally turned the heater on for the first time and the smoke alarm promptly went off. (It stopped after a few beeps, though, which is good because it's on the ceiling and I certainly can't turn it off easily.) Did you see the pictures of all the fools fighting to get in the shopping malls? Honestly, it's just nuts. Rob did actually go in Wal-Mart to pick up a couple of things late tonight, and he said it was pretty empty. I said, well, that sorta made sense because the crazy people came early and the sane people wouldn't go near the place today.
