The only reason I find the Mark Sanford thing so very, very amusing is because he was being such a turd to Obama over the stimulus money. It is really, really amusing to watch him being completely incapable of keeping his mouth shut for like 10 minutes, though. I blame this on me being a horrible person.

Z-Con was awesome and fun! It was great having so many friends around hanging out and doing stuff, even if it got a little overwhelming after a while and I still haven't quite recovered from the sleep deprivation. Tomorrow I'm off work and Andrew isn't, so I'm pretty much gonna sleep 'till noon. Origins was awesome, and even though we were only there for a couple hours it prodded a little bit at that growing hunger I've had to do more gaming. Also I am obsessed with pretty dice. I'm still way more interested in the RP aspect than the number-crunching, but I find myself wanting to roll up characters for things I don't even have a campaign for or alternate characters for games I am involved in. Bloodaxe saw me leering gleefully at the updated rules for Nagai, who I am unreasonably fond of largely for having been introduced at the tail-end of the old Marvel Star Wars series (I have a long history of fondness for things from late Marvel comic runs.), and bought me the Legacy-era campaign-guide, so as soon as I get around to printing up some extra character sheets I will totally make one whether I have a place for it (him?) or not. Our apartment has had some serious cleaning done, and while it's still a bit small for entertaining on the level we tried with Z-Con, it's in pretty good shape for a modest tabletop group and/or to set up space for painting projects.

My latest random alt craving in WoW is a draenei hunter who I made solely to come to terms with my inner conflict between how much I like cats as a general rule and how overused and overpowered they've been in WoW in the past. She's another incarnation of my old well-meaning alcoholic Avalaa, white-on-white this time (she had blue hair before) and on Wyrmrest Accord for no real good reason. I was tempted to roll her up on Moon Guard because a lot of TB's Alliance went over there and I know they're still around, but in the end curiosity about the new server won out. But she's only level 5, so I can still be swayed. ;) I'll be taking her over to Dwarfland soon because I've done those quests once, years ago, and done the Draenei ones like a million times. Once she's level 10 she is totally getting one of those pretty white cats that used to scare the crap out of me on my very first character.

I also poked around Ravenholdt a little on my Death Knight there and drummed up some random RP just by being vaguely polite to another DK, but I'm clearly still having seperation issues with TB and just can't stay away from it for more than a couple hours tops. Even between getting my draenei to level 5 and saying hello to my Ravenholdt DK I had to log into TB just to make sure it hadn't burned down.

I should level a gnome, too, just to experience the world as huge and terrifying.

I am now on Steam as AutobotTrixter. Be my friend.
