Nothing left to hide

So, we have arrived at the conclusion of the tale.  4… make it 5 years and counting.  And how does it end you may ask?  You shall see, read on and you shall see. 

It ends with a bang, if you consider a 15 page research paper, another 5 page paper and a Collaborative Journal as something worthy of a "bang".   I'm starting the bulk of the research today and will be writing up the annotated bibliography for Wednesday.  The 5 page paper will be done in chunks… or so I hope over the week, and the Collaborative journal goes through an exchange process, of which it is my turn to do the writing and then exchanging… also this week.  Then from here on out it's write the research paper… assuming everything from this week is just some how done and finished on the timeline I just laid out.

And to think, I thought I might find a way to throw raiding into the picture this week with C'thun loot on the table, ha. 

Thanks to 4 nights of late raiding and work in the mornings, our lives have gone to shit the past week.  If it keeps up like this I will be definetly be taking a break from it all since they can’t keep to a single fucking raid scheduel.  My Mother’s birthday is coming up this week and I know they really want me to go home but I’m so exhausted.  With less then 6 hours of sleep all week, no napping and a spotting eating habits, I’ve basicallly painted myself into a corner of getting sick.  Not sure if I’ll go home or not, I really just want to go home and sleep right now but this Hamlet presentation thing is this afternoon.  I haven’t really prepared, not much to do, we show the clips and then make some comments that will already be completely obvious to the class, and I’m sure our new professor will have some astute observations.  I’m also highly considering skipping Friday’s memorized dialogue in Italian so I can have one day of sleeping in and relaxing if in fact I decide to go back home.

I added a couple links to old friends blogs and I’m going to keep updating it as I find more places I like to visit.  So if you find your blog on there and were like… “wtf mate, you linked me” consider it a friendly hello.

Don’t being to mess with Jen when playing Mario Tennis, cause Shy Guy will take you to the court, or pavement, or whatever you take people to in Tennis when you deal them unexpectedly.  After a long cease in the war of the games between Jen and I, we broke out Mario Tennis last night in an effort to not fall asleep and played a few matches together.  Did I hold back and let her have a leisurely time of play, oh hell no.  It was balls out winner takes all, although she was the only one Trash Talking.  In the end, Luigi was victorious many times, and Shy Guy went to a corner to cry.

The raid went well, down Nefarian after two tries.  Went well because I got to quit at an early hour, but because of stomach problems ended up staying up watching West Wing until late.  I was really hoping that the Nuclear Power Plant on that episode would blow up since they are canceling the show.  Might as well take down all of America with you if you ask me.  But I leave out the most interesting bit of the night and the real reason for posting.

Jen was lucky enough to have one of her days of work be a Saturday so we were able to do whatever we wanted together.  This turned out to be both of us just staying together at home, watching Tivo, playing WoW, playing with the cat, all very relaxing.  At one point though we were bored with just watching Tivo and I casual suggested we go off to the mall.  That wouldn’t seem too odd a suggestion but as of late, neither of us enjoys the mall and apparently, spending money either.

We rarely go to the mall, I can’t remember the last time we went together, usually to buy me some sort of clothing that’s on sale or in search of some rare video game or DVD because Northgate Mall, as most malls are outside of down town, are gross.  The people in them vary in degree of “gross” depending on what point of the mall the hangout in the most.  Near the end with all the restaurants you have rather normal people, usually coming from Northern parts of Seattle to park their cars and shop or eat at the mall only walking to the end of it if there is a store there they need.  The opposite is true of the lower part of the mall, holding the food court and other such luxuries of those who either live nearby or are coming from South of Northgate mall.  The stores down there, JC Penny, Toys ‘ R ‘ US, Finishline, and places like Cinnabon and the Pretzel Shop fill that end, where most of the people who go to the mall just to BE at the mall stay and fill to high capacity.
