Grar, it’s before eleven o’clock and I’m up. How irritating is that? 😉 It doesn’t help matters that I went to bed around five in the morning because Ian and I grouped our gnomes for several hours trying to level and complete quests in WoW. Madness. I wouldn’t be up if it weren’t for the house phone ringing, someone leaving a message on the machine, then my cell phone ringing immediately after. Oh well, that’s taken care of and I can go back to semi-consciousness.

So we had Rook up all of last week, in case I forgot to mention it. He pretty much played WoW most of the time since we gave him a 10-day free trial account. I got a phone call from him Saturday night (I had left my phone at home to charge while Lushbaugh took us out to IHOP.) to say that it doesn’t run all that horribly on his machine at home, so he actually gets to have his last three days with it before the trial ends. Isn’t that cool? I think it’s cool. I’ll have to call him later and see if there’s a time he’ll be on that I can send random messages to him singing the dreidle song or something, hehe.

Mom and Dad came up Saturday to hang out for a while. We chit-chatted for a bit about random stuff like libraries and Star Trek, and we hit the local music supply place (Conservatory of Music, I think is its name) so Rook could get some more oboe reeds and cork grease for the band week thing he’s doing next week. Then we swung by my office so everyone could see my messy office and even messier thesis. Mom says she could put a copy of it in the Loogootee Public Library, lol, because it’s a work from a local. That means when Katie gets all her novels (all like 50 or so; she has a lot of writing done) published, they can go straight on the shelves proudly as the work of someone from little Loogootee. Keen! And after we were at my office for a while, we ate out at Mogger’s where the food is always awesome (and where Rook put salt on chicken fingers, as always as well, hehe). I think everyone had fun, and it was nice having Mom and Dad up for the afternoon. One of these days, Ian and I need to make a trip to LGT soon just to hang out with everyone and see how Fred is doing (who, btw, is out of the hospital and working again at the club). I might mention it to him once he wakes from his coma-like stupor…Except I don’t suppose people in comas snore so loudly. I bet Sarah could look that up in a medical book or just ask Steve, but I’m betting coma patients aren’t this loud. At any rate, I digress.

So this week looks like another boring week of laundry, random cleaning, WoW, and movies. I think I’m going to put in my DVD with documentaries about WWII made during WWII. It’s fascinating to watch, and I just love old black and white movies–and these are very informative! Better than giant leeches or killer shrews and the like. 😉 Catch you later!
