canadiandiamondBrrr, it's cold here today. Which is to be expected this time of the year, of course, but still. I can't find my usual UNB Law hoodie so I've decided to bundle up in my Harvard one, which is nice and warm but a little snug at the moment. I think it might have shrunk, but there's an at least equally as likely possibility that I have grown. >.>
This weekend's been pretty good, I must say. Most of it was spent playing LOTRO, which was totally expected given the launch of the new Mines of Moria expansion from last Tuesday, and it's a lot of fun. You get two new classes to play, along with another 10 levels to gain on your higher characters and a huuuuuuuuge new set of areas in which to play, new skills, legendary weapons to work on, etc. So yeah, a lot there to do, though oddly enough I spent most of this weekend doing none of that. I mainly helped out![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
girlyduck on Friday night with one of my mid-level toons and then hopped on my main guy to help run her new character through some tougher stuff. Then believeitup got home and we hung out but didn't actually do anything as we were both tired, so we just chatted over voice and then called it a night. Saturday was pretty much the same... I leveled up another midlevel character on the one shared account believeitup and I have so that we could use special cosmetic items for all of our characters there, and at the tailend of that girlyduck helped me out and then I returned the favour on my main again. believeitup got home then and all three of us played until girlyduck had to leave, so then the two of us spent the rest of the night on our secondary characters, getting them ready to head into Moria, which was nice.
Today I've just been laaaaazy, which is a recurring theme for Sundays. My best friend Shawn is home today and is staying home over night, so I'm going to hang out with him this evening for a little bit, and I should pop into the office for an hour or so before that. I meant to this afternoon when I got up, but of course even after my lovely fiancée went to bed at a decent hour I stayed up and just bummed around, downloaded some new music (including this Vampire Weekend stuff which I dig so far!), sent her an e-mail, then read for awhile before going to sleep. I think it was even starting to get light out then, and it's been awhile since that's happened with me. And then when I got up today, much later because of staying up too late, I've been checking e-mail, surfing, browsing forums, etc. until now and then I find out mom's on her way home from the city and she's picking up supper so I can't go to the office now. It'll have to wait until after supper, and then I have to see Shawn, and then I want to get home at a decent hour so I can spend a little more time with my girl before going to sleep and facing Monday morning once more.
Also, randomly, I got a new keyboard last week and I'm still trying to get used to it. I thought my old one was giving out, and it kind of was because I took it apart to clean it and some keys would stick and whatnot. This one still presents some problems though since I'm not used to the spacing and location of some of the keys, since it's got some slightly different setups on it (the delete key is two blocks tall instead of the one I'm used to and that moves the home and end keys, for instance, and insert is way way off tot he upper right XD) and it has some programmable buttons too (I made one for my Yahoo mail and one for LOTRO), which are nice. Overall it's a nice upgrade, and it effectively cost me $20 less since the boss gave us all a $20 gift card for Wal-Mart for Hallowe'en so I used it on this, so it's all good.
Anyway, I'm tempted to hop back on LOTRO before supper to try and get some of my new characters up a little, which I know is a dangerous proposition since once I'm in there it's hard to get out, especially if a certain someone also gets on before I leave, hehe. We shall see!
