The weather has been terrible all week and it is seriously starting to ruin my mood. I can handle cold and windy weather, but constant rain... I can't go out to walk, making me restless beyond words. At least I have been fairly lucky with the lack of rain in the mornings on my way to work. Traveling by bike has it downsides, arriving all soaked isn't exactly my idea of starting my day at work. I could wear a raincoat and pants, but by the time I finally got the bloody things on I am already at work.
Figured I could do some stuff on my pc, but it appears Jerry stole my seat again. For some reason he decided a couple of weeks ago that my office chair with pillows is the perfect place to nap. Said chair and pillows have been in my room for ages, not sure why he suddenly decided to use it as yet another sleeping place. So I booted up my beloved ancient laptop to write this LJ post (amg two updates in 1 week, doom!), while watching Avengers for the 4th time. Or was it the 5th? Lost count. I love that movie, so many tiny technological stuffs that makes my inner nerd squee. And gotta love the variety of characters. The story itself may not be exactly original, but whatever =P
Finally finished watching Dragons: Riders of Berk. They really did a great job at continuing the story after the movie. The new minor characters they introduced were nicely done, especially the bad guys. The season finale was simply awesome. I can't wait for the 2nd season in September! So that's one series less to watch. Now to watch the 30 or so others. Not to mention the 10 or so books I still need to read.
Been playing some Tera lately, after Aichan reminded me it is Free to Play nowadays. The controls take some time to get used to, but it has potential. Even invested in the original game to unlock more character and bag slots, because I am an altoholic and I would have ended up buying said slots in their store anyways. Buying the original game is faster and most likely cheaper.
It also appears that Rift is going Free to Play too in June, so I reinstalled the game, spending 2 hours downloading and patching 15 gig of data. I miss my Bard at times, but not enough to pay for a subscription. This change will be perfect for me to occasionally play said char! Logged in briefly on a low level char (it's sort of Free to Play till level 20 atm, with some heavy restrictions), I didn't realise how dull looking the graphics were compared to the vibrant colors of WoW and the high quality and sparkly graphics of Tera. Also seems that both factions can now group up and quest together. I knew it was possible to do that in battlegrounds to shorten the queue times, but actual questing? That's just unreal. Still can't walk into each others capital cities without being flagged for pvp and killed off tho.
Aaaand it's still raining. Guess I'll go poke a certain smartass American on yahoo and continue watching Avengers, the action is starting. Go helicarrier attack!
