I'm lousy at updating LJ. Especially lately. I'm slightly better at updating my facebook status. Requires less thought and fewer words. I feel like I should have something important or meaningful to say here. This is not that post

...must...resist.... (Not another time sink!)

'oh, man, I'm going to have to shovel off my car AGAIN'

When I bought my first house, my dad was shocked/surprised/disappointed that it didn't have a garage ("How could someone build a house in New England and not put a garage on it??"). Now that I have a garage, that whole shoveling-off thing is all but an artifact of the past. I heartily recommend you get one -- it'll change your whole attitude (especially if it's attached to the house -- then taking your car somewhere isn't even like going outside). :-)

I finally installed my fist WoW mod, at level 76.

*heh* I did the same thing: I was at 68 when the expansion raised the cap to 80. In my case, it was QuestHelper (I hear Carbonite is nice, but for the moment, I'll save the subscription fee). It certainly does speed things up. (Still, "the Seventies" seem like they are taking forever...and I'm only half-way through.)

Once I reach 80 and start going on raids, then I'll know I'm addicted. But, it's starting now. I've installed "Grid" (and a bunch of addons which support it), and I've been salivating over the possibilities enabled by macros (enigmatized gave me a cool one which sells all of your vendor-trash in a single click, regardless of which bag it has wandered off into).

I'm not convinced it doesn't remove some of the fun of the game, but, dammit, I want to get to 80 already.

I'm certain that QuestHelper has, unfortunately (which is why I resisted it until I got into a raiding guild). I'm now turning the crank and jsut running my toon instead of enjoying the content. But, when I play with other people, they get antsy if I take my time, read the quests, talk the NPCs and so forth. So, the questing addon really just helped address the downsides of an already bad situation. ;-)

But, now that the ice is broken, there are some others that you really should consider (omen, recount, the Auctioneer suite, and Cartographer, for starters...and, if you like those, we can recommend others... ;-).
