Hungry, out of order, WoW rage, 34750

Nicki has been on a small steroid pill for a week or so to address a problem with her ears.  Her ear problem has gotten better but the pill appears to have really increased her appetite.  She is ALWAYS hungry.  This is an odd thing for her since there used to be days when she would skip eating her supper altogether.  Now she digs into her plate almost as soon as we put it down.  She eats every last morsel and once her plate is totally clean she will keep licking it, hoping to make more food magically appear.  Her hunger could also be from us eliminating the dry dog food from her supper mixture which added a lot of filler and fat to her diet.  That has been replaced with rice and vegetables.  Even after a plate full of food Nicki will immediately start begging for more food right up until bed time.

My morning routine is so routine it almost seems like I could do it with my eyes closed.  This morning the routine didn’t go quite so well.  I pulled a small plate out of the cabinet to put the wet cat food on.  Somehow it managed to slip out of hand and smashed into a million pieces on the tile floor.  Of course it made a huge noise and Ali shot out of bed.  She helped me pick up some of the big chunks and grabbed the shop vac to get the smaller chunks.  I told her I would sweep up the rest so she could go back to bed.  I felt bad for waking her up.  So I finished up sweeping and continued on.

A few minutes later I was working on preparing my egg beater breakfast.  I opened up a new jug of orange juice.  I took the lid off and then peeled off the freshness seal thing.  I screwed the cap back on to shake the juice up.  Well as I start shaking I instantly start getting sprayed with OJ.  Like a dumb ass I must have cross threaded the cap.  So I slammed the juice container in the sink as I cleaned up myself and the floor and then hosed off the container as well in the sink.  Ugh it was annoying.

My latest thing in WoW has been running “dailies”  Dailies are quests that you can repeat each day.  The idea is you run these quests every day which give you significant financial rewards for doing so.  It is a relatively easy way to make money in the game.  However there is one problem, horde players do dailies as well.  When you are on a PvP (player vs player) server like I am there are no restrictions on when you can be attacked by enemy players.  “Mature” players typically don’t bother attacking other players in the area where you do dailies.  There is a mutual understanding that players are there to get the quests done, get their money and move on.  Well the problem is when annoying little pricks get involved.  They enjoy griefing other players, attacking them to just make their lives miserable.  I’m ok with that when I am just out and about but when I am trying to quickly get these quests done it really pisses me off.

Well last night I logged in for a bit to do dailies with my one character.  In the first 5 minutes I was killed 5 times by horde.  I was so f’ing pissed. So I said to myself “F the dailies” my mission became to kill any horde that I could.  My mission was a miserable failure.  I attacked at least a dozen horde and maybe killed 3.  The others either had elite gear, buddies that helped them kill me, or were just better pvp’rs than me.  It was just miserable.  I logged off feeling like a failure.

Almost 35,000 pounds.  That is the approximate amount of weight that I move during my roughly half hour 300 sessions.  That is figuring in my approximately 175 pounds of body weight.  That figure doesn’t account for the 50 floor wipers since I don’t really know how to quantify that move in terms of weight. In comparison if I run numbers on a “normal” gym day doing conventional exercises like for example a chest/back day, my heaviest conventional day, I may push 25,000 pounds.  If you also figure in that I take 25-30 minutes to do a 300 versus 45 minutes for my conventional work outs it piles on the effort.  More weight moved in less time = results.
