I finally finished my big epic WoW story, posted over on dariahnwheeler. I'm really happy with it in general, especially the whole long climactic scene. I'm hoping this isn't going to be jumping the shark with him as a character, because I know a lot of people were pretty fond of him the way he was, but he's going to end up being a bit more like some other characters of mine people have liked in the past, so hopefully it'll all work out.

I went to dig up the last story I wrote that actually had an acceptable fight scene, found that I had forgotten to upload it when I last moved my site, and ended up rereading my Armada story. Hee. My writing's gotten a bit lusher, but that's still a decent story. Also I'm still way too fond of pairing cheezy idealists with trauma victims. I should get back to writing Transformers stories, but...well, my reasons for that are many, varied, and I'm pretty sure covered in this blog already. The IDW continuity does show promise as a sandbox I'd enjoy playing in, though.

Andrew has spent the better part of the last week sick, and I seem to have caught it now. I'm not going to say that I have, you know, swine flu, but I definitely have some kind of flu. He was in horrible shape all last weekend, burning up and taking lots of naps. The funny thing for me is that I'm not really showing symptoms other than feeling like shit and possibly being a little warm. I'm a little bit stuffy, but I always am, and my stomach's a little off, but it usually is. But I'm sitting here at working kind of feeling like I need to go somewhere and keel over for a few hours. I took the last two days off work to take it easy and drink lots of OJ, and yesterday I took an absolutely epic nap, but I'm still feeling like crap today. Goodness knows how bad I'd feel if I didn't have a Full Throttle to suck on.

Tuesday was server downtime, so I dusted off the old GameCube copy of Phantasy Star Online I had been getting all nostalgic for and gave it a spin in the Wii. I ended up rolling a character who was functionally the same as my highest level character just to get the hang of the game again and had fun running around shooting at peeps. Yesterday I got the last Champion's Badge thingie I needed to get the tanking axe from the tournament for Dariahn so I could give dual-wield tanking a try and then proceeded to level my axe skill doing all the Forsaken starter quests and getting through my entire Revered bar for the "of the Undercity" title.

Also I feel so crappy today that since starting this and actually posting it I've given up on working and gone home to pass out. So I'm gonna do that now. Buh.
