Drudgery

Not much going on as of late.

Rose is still working on chapter 5 of The Last New Yorker; I have yet to re-read her latest fragment. We'll get the ball rolling on that one soon enough, so please bear with us.

The elections are coming up; I haven't voted yet. I can't say I feel too engaged in this election, though -- it's getting me a wee bit down when I think of it. I'll likely end up voting NDP, just 'cause they at least put forth some measure of new ideas. I miss Jean Chrétien.

Rose bought Legacy of Kain: Defiance for the XBOX; she didn't much like playing it on the PC. We played that a bit this week and have decided that, though it isn't great, it's still fun. Raziel is a whiny bitch and kinda fulfils the role of the main female character in any RPG game -- it's ridiculous and really kinda hot. Dah well, at least I get to hear Kain say 'Vae Victus!'. Mmm.

Still playing World of Warcraft as well. I realized that I really don't enjoy the game unless I'm playing a rogue, so I gave up on Veldrin (my Hunter) and made a Night Elf rogue called Mezzen (heehee!). He's level 26 now; ran Rose's Paladin (Detta is her name) through Dead Mines with a pick-up group -- which was actually pretty fun. God I love playing alongside a good Paladin... total case of <3 Detta.

Speaking of Warcraft, I just realized that, in my last news post where I invited you all to join Rose and I online, I completely forgot to tell you which server we're on. We're on Moonrunner. Hopefully we'll see some of you now! For the time being, please send any whispers/mails to either Mezzen or Detta or Meeks (all Alliance).

Anyway, work calls.

Tories win

So the Conservatives won the election yesterday -- another minority government, yay. I can't say I'm too worried, though; Tory rule didn't last before and it won't be any different this time. The NDP put up a good fight, mind you, and that was actually pretty heartnening. The next election, I'm sure, will rock.

Also, Rose put my earlier news post through Gizoogle. This was particularly poignant: "God I love ho-slappin' alongside a good Paladin". Yeah. Apparently even servants of the Light like a good 'ho slappin'. Interesting. But...'ho slappin'? Holy shit what a degrading expression! People don't actually say that, do they? My God...
