World of Warcraft.
Well, it’s been a bit over a month since I first got World of Warcraft, but almost exactly a month since I first finished downloading the updates and started playing. So, what’s to know?
In one month, I clocked up around 7 days of play time. That is, over 170 hours. In a month that only had 30 days, that’s almost 25% of the past month I have spent in WoW.
My main character, the Night Elf Druid, is now up to Level 39. I haven’t decided which specialty I will move towards: Feral looks the most fun, but Moonkin (Nature spec) form looks kinda nice too. The next big thing is the mount I can purchase at Level 40. I think the 150-odd gold I have saved up should cover it. Although upgrading spells is starting to become rather expensive too, at around 8 gold for the last batch.

Food.
I ran out of Espresso Grind coffee last week, and, not having enough money to buy anymore, went without until the cashflow had fined up a bit. Rather than drink the posh that passes for instant coffee, I went without. And it was horrific. I didn’t really realize how badly I need a coffee in the mornings until I actually had my first coffee in some time this morning. And immediately I felt better.
So, it seems I am totally addicted to bass, um, coffee. Caffeine is something that is quite unusual in my body: I can have a coffee right before bed and yet drop right off immediately, but if I go without in the mornings, I am my normal, grumpy self. It’s not until I have the drop of Java that I become a shadow of a respectable person.
Anyway, whilst the cashflow is still looking shaky, it turned out I had enough on my Hudson’s card to grab a bag of freshly ground good stuff. And I’m sure my students will thank me.
