In brief: (ok, not quite so...)
Oct. 17th, 2005 08:51 amYay, my new Doc Martens arrived. Looks like the size is right, cool. I thought so, but I never trust something fully until I actually can handle the product. Am not fond of ordering clothing and such online or via catalog. Just need to apply the water/stain-proofing stuff, then start breaking them in. (Geez, UK size 4, how can I be this big and have feet that small? No wonder my balance is weird.)
Got a bunch of new music for the iPod. Just need to delete a few things to fit. Was surprised when looking for Thousand Foot Krutch information to discover they are technically Christian Rock. ... >_o As Nix would say, "Um...wut?" Move and Phenomenon don't seem that genre *at all*. Guess I'll see if I can tell more as I listen to other stuff. Weird.
The guild alliance has absolutely fragmented. Well, sort of. Two of the big three guilds up and left yesterday, and it was an ugly, ugly mess. The fallout will take a good deal of time to settle. Have been feeling very weirded out and startled by it all. More complicated was the fact that one of the guilds leaving is the one we'd started talking about a merger with. Will have to have discussions with my officers about what we plan to do, as suddenly it's a much more complex decision. Not just do we merge, but if we merge we'll be choosing to leave the UGA--and is that what we really want? There's a lot of factors. Was more settled down last night after talking with Aaron, but then woke up really upset again for some reason. Guess the alliance that's left will still be trying to raid, but it will take a big amount of reorganization of leadership. (And I know this sort of thing happens in MMORPGs all the time, it's just disconcerting to see and be a part of--like why does this game feel I have to hit every online gaming cliche imaginable? It's like there's a checklist, and something out there is making tick-marks one by one.)
Didn't end up sleeping that well last night, but hard to say if it was stressing or the usual post-weekend sleep pattern adjustment. Tried to sign off about midnight, but didn't crash until 1, and woke up a lot. I think I was dreaming something restless, but I can't recall what it was.
I really really really really wish I could make AMVs. I've had so many ideas when listening to the radio lately. And someone needs to make me a spiffy Roy-centric vid to ELO's Fire on High. I demand it.
