Christmas is coming!! T-minus 3 days and counting!! We finally got our tree up today!! There's only one present under it right now. >.> I should really get on my wrapping <.< And of course since I'm excited for Christmas illness has crept up and nipped me in the behind, well, really the nose and head. I spent most of last night not sleeping, but tossing and turning due to pressure and lack of oxygen...
Today I did feel a bit better and tried to take a nap but to no avail. Hopefully I'll be able to sleep a bit tonight.

Some afterthoughts on Icecrown Citadel 10-man.
-I did have a lot of fun although it was long an exhausting
-The strategy that finally worked on Deathbringer Saurfang was having the melee quickly killing one of the Blood Beasts and the ranged killing the second one. If you're in a melee heavy group, try it out. It worked out well with us, our group consisted of a Paladin and a Warrior as tanks, another Warrior, a Warlock, a Mage, a Rogue, and a Hunter for DPS, and a Druid (ME!!), a Paladin, and a Shaman as healers. During Saurfang we changed over and had our Shaman (DS-ed in Enhancement) also melee leaving myself and our Healing Paladin to heal the fight. Like I said, if you're having trouble with Saurfang and have a melee heavy group, give our strategy a try =)
-I cannot wait to do it again. =D

Well now I must cook dinner. Tacos!! Yay!

So...
5.5 hours later.
These achievements were achieved by myself and others in Icecrown Citadel 10-man...
Storming The Citadel & I've Gone And Made A Mess.
Oh my God.
My brain hurts.
No Pressies for me but Congo-rats for those who go Pressies.
Lier got a sexy plate 'kilt'.
I think it looks like a skirt but I'm told its a kilt.
Something very exciting though
I am re-reading The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and I do love Zaphod Beeblebrox.
The Goblin you get the rocket pack from is named Zafod Boombox.
YAY for HHGG references!!!
Also, Blizzard you are ridiculous.
Putting rockets on my bear butt is not nice!!!
=(
So demeaning.
I really should go to bed.
My sleep schedule really needs to be reset.
Christmas is near!
I am planning a tasty dinner of Roast Chicken, Roasted Potatoes, and some kind of vegetable.
I also need to start making my cookies.
I will definitely start cleaning house tomorrow.
We have not even put up the tree! /gasp
Must...not...turn...computer...on...in...the...morning.
Must...clean...apartment.
So it snowed.
About half an inch.
Ridiculous.

It seems funny to me when people claim themselves to be apart of some nerd-dom when they don't know or fully understand all the underlying meanings and connotations of that specific nerd-dom. It's even funnier when they get things relating to that specific nerd-dom tattooed on themselves. Take this for example, "Expecto Patronum" Harry Potter Tattoo - A Fancy Plea For a Baby Daddy (Great White Shark). Being apart of the Harry Potter nerd-dom, I try my damnedest to understand meanings and roots to better appreciate the story at hand and the characters with in that specific universe. In the future I plan on getting a Harry Potter-verse related tattoo, but being the good nerd I am I have fully researched the meaning of the words being tattooed as well as where they are originally from and why they are in the book. This woman clearly did not. Getting the phrase 'expecto patronum' across your lower abdomen is not the product of rational or in-depth thought. She is basically saying to her next lover, hook-up, or fare "I need a daddy." Ma'am you fail. You're amount of fail is indescribable.

After an excess of eating organic foods I have found that eating processed foods hurts my tummy. I am not pleased by this. I appreciate the taste of $1.00 Mama Celeste Pizzas and cheap Banquet meals...But now...the taste just doesn't do it for me anymore...I don't like have a hurtie tummy.

HOORAY!!!! NCIS marathon. Thank you USA for your lovely marathons every night this week. This will definitely help with my boredom issues due to my husband being away. Friday needs to come as quickly as it possibly can.

We watched the season premieres of How I Met Your Mother, The Big Bang Theory, NCIS, NCIS: Los Angeles, and The Good Wife.
How I Met Your Mother...was of course wonderful and hilarious. Barney and Robin are totally in love!!! At some point we really need to meet Ted's love. There's a part of me that is annoyed about it. I am one of those people who figure out the mystery before it's revealed and I can't figure it out! But that's okay. It's funny enough that I keep it on the back burner.
The Big Bang Theory...was also hilarious. Though I do feel bad for Sheldon. Also his mother...is ridiculous. Though I am happy that Sheldon left Texas...he didn't belong there. The whole Penny and Leonard did get weird...but we'll see how it pans out. The next episode will be interesting as we follow that story line.
NCIS...was so confusing but ultimate very good. At the beginning I could not figure out what was happening which was quite exciting but frustrating. I think Smitty might have been a little frustrated with me regarding that because I was being antsy. I was so worried when Tony was getting the crap beat out of him and not Ziva. Gibbs must be a super human...I am convinced that he is. He was in a sniper nest 1000+yds away from where Tony, McGeek, and Ziva were being held and when they get out of the room Gibbs is BAM there. There was no way he ran over 2 hills and through a building in about 2 minutes. Other than that I was quite pleased. Also making the "badass" chick cry. That was awesome.
NCIS: Los Angeles...did that suck? Yes. It did. It sucked very much. NCIS has a fancy undercover operation going on in L.A. with a spiffy 'condemned' headquarters. Screw you NCIS: Los Angeles, screw you.
The Good Wife...I quite enjoyed The Good Wife. Seemed pretty insightful and I'm a sucker for Christine Baranski. She's awesome. The first case she worked one was kinda a wash but I'd like to see how everything goes with the douchebag husband. She should dump his ass...I better not be put into a good wife situation.

Good luck and good night Interwebs. Good night

The Spanish Inquisition song from History of the World Part I is pretty amazing. I just would have loved to see Nazis on Ice...

It is Brewfest time again in World of Warcraft and Elocine will be going for the title of Brewmaster Elocine. In addition to Brewfest, Patch 3.2.2 came out today. Ony I am going to kick your ass again! And hopefully get some fun presents from it. I haven't really been raiding to much...stupid brokenness and work getting in the way...

More notes on the Roman Republic today. I am hoping to finish out this chapter this week before the weekend so as to have some time with the husband.

I SUCCESSFULLY KILLED A SPIDER LAST NIGHT!!! /proud of self Granted I had to be coached by Smitty over the phone and it took me nearly 20 minutes to get myself together. Spiders here apparently do not die from being cover in a thick coat of Raid. I ended up murdering it by way of smashing it with a pan. Probably the scariest moment ever. I had to console myself with some chocolate...

Clearly the football gods do not shine upon my New England Patriots. Though they do seem to shine upon my San Francisco 49ers! Finals for both games: NE Patriots 9 - NY Jets 16, SEA Seahawks 10 - SF 49ers 23. Though I am quite perturbed about the Patriots lose, the 49ers win is pretty fantastic. 2 - 0 and both games they won were conference games, and when it comes down to the bitter end, who ever did better in their specific conference goes on!

My paper that was half written while on mind altering medication and half during NPH's amazing hosting of the Emmy's was well received by those who read it during today's "Writer's Workshop." I was surprised on one hand but on the other I was not. This was one of those days where my snobbery hits all new highs and begs the question: "Do you know what a thesis is?" Things like this make me cry and once again remind me why I want to be a teacher. When you get the college level, in my opinion, there are certain things you need to know. Writing a thesis is one of them and that has seem to passed those who's papers I read by.

NPH was quite amazing hosting the Emmy's last night. Great opening number as well as Dr. Horrible's hacking of the show. I didn't quite catch all of the Emmy's last night but I did record the last part of it so when I return home from my DREADFUL day at fail college I'll prop myself up and watch the rest.

Now to write some lovely history notes and possibly work some more on my Evaluation paper.

As of this moment I do not have any pets. This makes me slightly sad but I'm okay with that. I did find today while I was Stumbling 8 Ways to Prepare Your Pets For War I swear if any war comes to the homefront that's what what I'm doing with mah pets!

Watching the New England Patriots game. NE Patriots vs. NY Jets. Jets suck. -2 passing yard!! HAHAHAHAHA Anywho. Just watching the game here on the couch in my Wes Welker jersey. Granted today, Wes is not playing due to a knee injury...just like me! What the hell is with this not being able to convert on 3rd down!?!? GRRRRR Smitty's sitting on the couch as well, in his Bruschi jersey, shining his shiny boots for work this week.

I'm not sure how well I am going to be doing this week. Last week was a pretty bad week for my pain levels and I have been having quite a bit of swelling in the knees. I am quite surprised some days that my other joints aren't screaming out at me, but then again this is not a full body problem I suppose.

Another invention for dinner again. Meatloaf Steaks! Making a full meatloaf for Smitty and I is kinda ridiculous...so I'm taking half (maybe +) a pound of ground beef, garlic, onions, some herbs, seasonings, and Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce mixing it all together frying it up for some Meatloaf Steaks! Served on a slice of Roasted Garlic Bread and some Potato Au Gratin! MMMM TASTY!

After this game...which I am quite sure the Patriots will win despite being behind at this time (9 - 13) I will be writing a paper. Oh the joys of evaluating other people's works.
