Friday; 18th

Friday marked an uneventful evening for me. After work, I packed up and headed to the Great North…well, Edmonton anyways. Generally speaking, a 3 hour car ride is a daunting, gruesome thing. Add in construction in Calgary, and mental handicaps of the road construction crew on Edmonton’s Anthony Henday road – and I was on the road for approximately 5 hours. Now, you might be thinking to yourself “Ouch”, and you would be correct. Nearing the end, I contemplated gnawing off my clutch leg – but I withheld my urge due to aesthetic reasons. I’m shallow – so sue me.

I arrived at Jordan’s after making a detour to Edo Japan (after being disappointed by Burger King’s lack of debit/credit machine – although I would come to realize this was a blessing). It was the Ukraine boys, Austin, Jordan, Dylan and I. They set up the fire outside, and we kicked it old school. Or rather, they did. I tried to not kick it at all; I had decided to wear brand new clothing there, and did not have the urge for my new Buffalo jeans or Silverstar shirt to smell like campfire – so I was repping a pair of Lulu Lemon pants of Jordan’s, and a DKNY T-shirt. I felt like I was on display in a picture frame, and you could see it ALL. It was a cross-leg, shirt down, hands in pockets affair. Never. Again.

Staycation in the E Dot;

Staycation in the E-Dot;
Imagine a week of Entourage, movie theaters, awesome people and horribly greasy food – and that was my life from the 4th to the 13th. Highlights of the ‘staycation’:
- Spending 2.5 hours in Burger King with Connor. No, seriously.
- Sheena’s derby game. Absolutely 100% fun. AND they won.
- Walk to 7-11 with Sarah & Dozer. I’m pretty sure he walked me.
- Endless assault for me having seen SATC2 w/ Tasha & Sheena
- Dee-vicious. YES!
- Got to meet Carmen’s boysie - & say goodbye as she adventures to Neverland
- Adventure to find ‘Pick-a-part’, even if it was a failed attempt.
Sadly, I did end up missing Saturday night’s festivities due to circumstances outside my control, so instead I chilled at home w/ Dean & Michael playing OG Starcraft, eating pizza and drinking diet coke while anime played in the background. You wish you lived my life. Gyeah boi.

A Gathering Storm by Robert Jordan;

You know those books that give you chills? Imagine it tenfold. This book delivers war, love, magic, swords and creatures of myth and magic. Its heroes are on the brink of the edge; 4 friends in childhood, but where do there allegiances lie now? Who can be trusted, if anyone?

Brandon Sanderson took over the writing of the legendary Robert Jordan’s series ‘A Wheel of Time’. He flows into the story with no apparent hitches, and his writing style is fluid enough that you don’t notice anything happened at all. The only irregularity is the Matrim Cauthon portions, and even though it was different than the works of Jordan – it was brilliant nonetheless.

In a few months time, the next of the series will come out. The Aes Sedai are whole; Egwene al’Vere the Amyrlin Seat. The Black Tower is fractured – Mazrim Taim & Logain Ablar each holding a portion. Aes Sedai bonded to Asha’man; Asha’man bonded to Aes Sedai. The Borderlander army is told to regain their honor and march for the blight. The Malkieri march to war once again – the Golden Crane flies. Will Ituralde fight, or will he march homeward to continue his war on the Seanchan armies of the Empress? Rand has laughed, and cried, and the sun broke the clouds and the skies shone. He carries Justice; the ancient sword of Artur Hawkwing.

Tarmon Gai’don is coming…& I can’t wait!

The Joys of Audio Books!

I've discovered the best invention since sliced bread (??What a dumb saying); Audio books. I've tossed 'Eye of the World' by Robert Jordan onto my iPhone, and listen to it while I'm at work. It makes the days FLY by. I almost never put my iPhone down while I listen to my favorite books!

So, so pro.



Btw, if you have never read anything by Robert Jordan...you should. Sadly, Robert Jordan passed on and Brandon Sanderson has since picked up writing the remainder of the series - but he does an admirable job.

How I Met Your Mother

Lately, in my boredom, I've watched a LOT of "How I Met Your Mother"...It is amazing. Period.
Season 4, Episode 20 or so...LOVE IT.

One day, I will challenge someone to a slapsbet. Ohhh yes, yes I shall.


Legen...wait for it...dary. ;D

Whitewolf the Kingslayer

Well, we finally finished this expansion - and did so top US 135*, and server first - much to the dismay of Alliance *& horde* on Nazjatar.


It was 15 hours of grueling torment, but we struggled through and did it.

Sadly, at the end of our struggles - Strinnity decided to delete his account, so now we need to find a Paladin healer to man up and take over for him.

Now for 25man...Bane of the Fallen King!
