Because my keyboard's getting kinda old and I've begun to notice the keys spazzing out. I think I can swing $20 for a replacement if I ever need one...


I had my first actual stint as a resto druid today, healing a 10m Obsidian Sanctum and then 10m Vault of Archavon. Since the new patch there's a new boss in the instance and my guild decided to try it. If you were to ask me the mechanics of the fight, or even the boss's name, I couldn't tell you. I was quite literally pounding my keyboard trying to keep Dellrias from dying. I didn't even have the right gear on; I had my boomkin t7 chest on instead of the resto chest, but I rocked [what felt to me] an insane amount of haste. My Healing Touches were a .6-second cast, down from 1.5. I can really see why healers enjoy haste. I think I could come to enjoy healing as a druid, when I have more time to prepare for it. I literally had 10 minutes to respec and grab my resto gear out of the bank before I was summoned away.

Lumizent is still 79, but I'm slowly working on getting her to level. Spending an hour camping Loque'nahak and/or Gondria didn't help, either. I'll probably never find the former, because Sholazar is crammed full of people all the time. I have a couple of pieces of gear for her to equip once she hits 80.


I'm going to NYC next month, on the 19th of May. :D and_be_blue and I [and her friend Steve] will be going to see Avenue Q on Broadway. I am endlessly excited. :D :D :D The last time I was in New York at all was in '02, and that was only for two days -- I'd gone up to the northeast to visit my dad in Providence and took the train up to visit MacKay. I'll be going up for a whole week this time, and I'll probably get to spend more time in the actual city. My experience with NYC as a city was spent walking down 5th Avenue during the St. Patrick's Day parade, and then a couple of hours spent fooling around in the Met.

School's out in ... about two weeks. Another semester over already!
