What is it about Jane Austen? Why do her stories keep enthralling me? And it’s not just me. Based on the number of republications of the books, movies made (both from her stories and based on them), and other paraphernalia, there’s a broad audience for this.
Now, I am an avid reader. I devour books, sometimes at a startling pace. However, there are very few books that I find the time to re-read at all, let alone multiple times. And I have read Austen multiple times. I have read each of her books at least three times, and a couple much more than that. Of her six complete books, I have duplicate copies of three and electronic copies of two. I have seen, to my knowledge, every movie version of her books. Yes, even the horrible ones. While I watch the worse ones, I complain, but I am still enthralled.

I just read (more than two weeks late to the party, apparently) that they fixed the two quests that got me all frustrated when working on Outlands Loremaster. I have a feeling that’s what I’m going to be working on this weekend, now (when I’m not playing White Knight Chronicles).

I’ve had a little side project going this week. I decided that I wanted to level Inscription on some alt or other. I already have a maxed out Herbalist, so I didn’t figure it would be that rough. And really, overall, it wasn’t. I was lazy most of the time and just bought my herbs, with a few exceptions for those brackets where herbs were too overpriced or rare. (High 30s herbs, I’m looking at you!)

Due to the coolness of TBC folks and their almost constant willingness to run heroic randoms, I was able to finish the heroic versions of Azjol-Nerub and Gundrak over the weekend. There were a few deaths, and a couple of them were mine, but overall it seemed to go pretty smoothly and my EoT count climbed. It’s still nowhere near the 230 I need, but that’ll come in time. Since it was a random, I also earned a couple Emblems of Frost. I suppose I could downgrade them to EoTs to increase that count, but I doubt I will.

I decided to spend yester evening wrapping up the Dinner Impossible achievement, which requires that you serve a Great Feast in each battleground (not counting IoC). I had already done Arathi Basin over the weekend, so last night I did each battleground one by one. Every single one was a loss.
