Weren't all that exciting. I had the meeting (this time he showed up RIGHT AT 9:30) on the refinance, and things look good for it to proceed. I need to get a bunch of things together for him to look over (W2's, last two paystubs, last two bank statements and I think one other thing), and from there he'll set up the assessment- apparently it has to happen due to new rules that have come out of the housing bust.

Other than that, Friday night was the Mana Dragons sort-of regular meet on City of Heroes/Villains. We did the Cap Au Diablo Tarikoss Strike Force; we had a total of 6 players, myself playing Wolf John (Super Strength/Invulnerability Brute). It was a lot of fun but given how rusty I was playing him I sort of felt like I was letting the others down- I died a LOT. At least 5 times. I did finally get the hang in the last two or three missions though. Wolfy is gonna get a respec, I think.

After that I Trick-Or-Treated with Capriline (Willpower/Super-Strength Tank) til I got the last of the Halloween badges, then randomly joined a team for the Citadel Task Force. It went mostly well, though the team was heavy on inexperienced players, had some drama that resulted in a player being booted from the team and had one other just randomly quit halfway through. Still, it was fun too.

Today was mostly me sleeping. I got laundry done and made a batch of chicken thighs and mashed potatoes, but I was the only one home for 'em. O well. Leftovers!

And now I'm at work. I may start writing up the Buffy run from last Sunday, and tomorrow will more than likely be... I dunno. I've some chores to do, and I need to start cleaning the house for the Halloween party on Friday- I managed to get Thursday and Sunday morning off, so I have a 4 day weekend and at least a day to get whatever's left to do, done.

So far, I'm making the turkey (14#, a little small but oh well) and mashed potatoes, and I'll get the cranberry sauce and gravy as well. foeclan is supplying a nice ham, while joshuwain is bringing some kind of beverage... I can't at the moment recall what. If you're coming and want to bring something, it'd be appreciated- if its something like chips, cheese, crackers, chips or anything that needs to be there before things get started, you can drop it off Thursday. You DON'T have to bring anything tho- but I do need to know if you are bringing stuff, so I don't go out and get it. :) I'll contact people this week too, to confirm invites and stuff. No, there weren't actual invitations- this year has been kinda tight, and I'm not as focused on things as other years.

Well, my eyes eem about the same, and I'll have two new pairs of glasses sometime before the 26th. Yay! I also have the money, or most of it, for MFF too. So things proceed apace. A little while ago I got back from dinner with joshuwain, foeclan and feezlekahn at Sarna's. Nice little place, I just had the burger and a Fat Tire (its a beer!). It was a nice meal and a nice conversation, and now I'm on City of Villains playing Endure again. She's now Level 47!

Here is where to find images of my City of Heroes/Villains characters- Issa tinyurl!

Characters no longer around are Dawnshade, Flaretrail, Jetline and Wyldlife- Either because I didn't play the character and wanted to make something else, or because I just didn't like what I'd gotten. I should put up the newest versions of Skull-Buster (his 1930's look), Shadowmatch (Her costume has changed a LOT) and Lupinar, and one of Lady Aliah (Lady Vhala's cloned 'Sister').

Thanks to feezlekhan for putting together the paired-view images for me!

Well, after all the crap with the comp and setting up City of Heroes/City of Villains this morning, I went to bed, beat. Did I sleep? Nope. Was it stress? Nope. It was the onset of a cold or flu. I'm at work with bodyaches and general other flu-y symptoms now. Yick. So, after work I'll make a quick stop for grocery-necessities and then head home to bed. CoH/CoV can wait til I wake up at least.

I will say the amount of play I've gotten has been fun; Goblinn is level 3, and I've yet to try the Villain side of things. I know who I'll be building for my first villain- In my old Proteus Campaign he was named Arctic. I've a better name for him now, which is actually two heavily-hidden puns. ;)

I have to futz with my key-setups too- I keep hitting things that change my view, cause me to chase a target... I'll get it figured.
