My computer is still down. Hopefully it’ll come home today. On Monday night I cleared out space and installed WoW on our laptop. I can’t understand how people can actually play on a laptop as their main computer. More than that.. because of limited resources I’m playing without any addons. It’s just… HORRIBLE.
I tried to log onto one of my lowbies and do some questing on her. The theory there is since I’m not used to playing on her I won’t miss my “regular” setup as much. It might have worked if I’d had an actual mouse. Unfortunately the laptop has a touchpad.. and moving and targeting/attacking mobs is exceptionally painful. I gave up on it after about 40 minutes. Instead I logged Tatia on and went fishing. That was very easy to do with the laptop. Tatia went from 250 to 300 fishing. I also learned that listening to podcasts is a good way to not fall asleep while fishing.
After hitting 300 I decided I needed a break from fishing and logged onto Lilac to see if I could work on her “low-hanging fruit” list. I think I made good (considering the circumstances) progress.

It started so innocently. Fiancee complained that almost everytime he kills something in the game he gets 2-10 seconds of lag. I’d seen it on his computer but didn’t know what it was causing it. Then he tanked Black Morass and 2-10 seconds of lag lead to a couple of anxious moments waiting for him to unlag so he could pick up the boss on that portal. He poked at the problem but didn’t find the solution. Finally I asked him how much disk space he had free. Not alot as it turns out. So we decided to get him an additional hard drive for storage.
It seems when you start tossing around new schedules for Kara everyone in the guild suddenly gets a case of apathy. *sigh* Logged on last night and only two people were on. Waffled about for a while trying to setup a guild group. We didn’t have the right makeup of toons.. nor enough of them. I jumped into LFM to fill our empty spots but I wasn’t seeing the right puggers. Eventually I got an individual invite to ShadowLabs and I jumped on it. (Bad Nibuca!!.. abandoning your guild! Traitor) *sigh*
Exciting week to be a Lilac 
What is the polite way to say “Are you smoking crack?* No, your I-just-dinged-70 -and-got-my-kara-key toon should not expect to automatically be on the Kara team”?
