Been pretty busy around the last day and half, but it's been the good kind of busy. On the WoW front, fishing club went back into the Deadmines and emerged with the head of Van Cleef again. The run was a lot smoother as we actually used some strategey to beat the mobs instead of relying on a pure zerg rush. The only wipe came when pulled Captain Greenskin, but that was saved by jumping to the Wheel.
We would of also came back with a Gnome Head, but we liked Alan's comb over so we decided to let him live for now. But that could change if we ever need fishing bait.
On the level 60 front, I was finally involved in an Hakkar kill today. A gimmicky fight, but fun none the less. He's like a free epic machine if you can get the Panther and Tiger priest down. And the loot he drops is better than most of the stuff I've seen in MC. With the caster quest stuff having the DPS damage pluses that the Arcanist and Magisters doesn't have I'd dare say it's better for me to do more ZG than Molten Core. But I think I need to take a bit of a WoW break to catch up on DVD watching, and to watch the new Harry Potter Film
Picked up Pete Townshend's 2 disc Gold best of yesterday as well, mainly to cover the songs that aren't on Empty Glass and All the Best Cowboys have Chinese Eyes. It's a poorly laid out disc that has the songs thrown out in a Random order (Neither by date or release, like the Beatles 1 or David Bowie's 2 Disc Best off, or by theme like Echoes). Yet that alone can't hold back that most of the songs on the disc are top notch. Pete's solo career gets over looked a lot by the mainstream, especially compared to his work for the Who. But that's a shame as his solo work covers a whole new level of depth that his Who work doesn't cover. He may be an egotistical bastard at times, but he's honest about it and isn't afraid to deal with them like other artists.
And to top it off I went and played a bit of blackjack at the local casino for a bit. Started out with $20 and walked away with $32.50, which isn't bad but I was doing nothing but $5 minimum bets which was kinda of cheating. And I probably would of done wore if I didn't have some help from the lady beside me on a hand or two. Which is to always hold if you have over 11 when the dealer has a low card. Chances are they'll go bankrupt by drawing a bunch of cards, and it held true about 60% of the time.
Oh, and Genshiken 3 is as good as the earlier 2 manga volumes. Though I'm awaiting Volume and 5 for the new Female member....
