I’m sure everyone is either taking the day off or headed out soon, so I wanted to take a moment and wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and all the happiness and joy of the season. Enjoy the holiday, be sure to eat and drink too much, and stay safe and warm.

Pardon the IRL post…

So I had jury duty this morning, showed up bright an early, waited in the assembly room, etc, etc. I’m probably in the .1% of Americans that actually wants to serve on a jury, and in the years since I turned 18, I’ve eagerly watched my mailbox for a summons.

Well, finally the day came and I am happy to announce that I have been selected to serve in the jury of a civil case. We already had opening statements today and Monday/Tuesday are the scheduled continuations of the trial.

My blogging is going to be a tad disrupted since I usually post from lunch at work and the judge seems to frown on blogging during proceedings. I’ll have to do some late posts or have something in the can ready to auto-post that day.

I’m currently thinking of the jury as a 14-man raid and the foreperson as the tank. Let’s see if I can get them to pass me lead Monday morning, haha.

Starting tomorrow I’m heading over to the Czech Republic for a work trip, so blogging will be pretty light around here. I intend to finagle a way to post from my iPhone while sneaking wifi connections and avoiding roaming charges, so I will definitely stay in touch (Twitter will be bouncin’) but long crazy posts are probably out of the question.

Be well friends, and I’ll be back posting on my normal schedule–States-side–on the 23rd!

I did a little shuffling around in the background today, improving one page and making a new one. Specifically, I updated the Guides page with more recent BiS lists and other interesting stuff I’ve written about how to do this-or-that.

I also wrote a new page (with a new tab at the top), the Glossary, as a running list of definitions for various acronyms or arcana I drop in posts. I’ll try to be better about defining these things beforehand, but in the meantime, I think this is a suitable fallback.

Curious about opinions? Good/great/awful?

Need to change a few things still:

1. New header image
2. Play with the color scheme a little more (less green)
3. Go back and resize images which will stretch page on old entries (ugh!)

But still, feedback please!

Sorry for my posting drought this last week. I’ll be returning to a normal posting routine starting tomorrow and exploring such fascinating topics as guild drama, raid drama, and my newly acquired love for my Ret offspec.

Sorry for the lack of posting today. I honestly cannot think of anything to write about. Most of my day has been spent thinking about the awesomeness potential of tonight’s raid, assuming it goes according to plan and we get the A-team formed and in Ulduar at a good time.

In any case, I shall be posting some good stuff tomorrow.

Apologies for the light posting these last few days. I’ve been slammed at work and haven’t had much time to think about, let alone post, anything remotely interesting (hence that lame abortive April Fools “joke”).

I’ll write some stuff this weekend in advance so I can post next week. Fill up the chamber in advance, if you will.

Have a great weekend everyone.

I’m current trapped at a conference my company puts on, and haven’t been on WoW since last Monday. The withdrawl may or may not be killing me.

I won’t be home and thus able to log in until this Friday.

… I don’t think being this long away from WoW is healthy.
