On Sunday, I tried to do a random heroic with some friends, only to find that I was inadequately equipped. This made me sad, of course, and though I had offers of assistance, I stubbornly decided to get adequately geared myself. I used the LFD tool for the first time ever to PUG. That instance was the Culling of Strat run I mentioned on Monday. That didn’t help with gear via drops, though I did get my EoTs.

Despite having company this weekend, I managed to earn a number of achievements. I didn’t do much, or it doesn’t feel as if I did. I did my usual Argent Crusade and Frenzyheart dailies. I did a little PvP. I ran through a few instances. I saw a fair number of achievements explode onto my screen.

I watched the movie "Julie & Julia" yesterday afternoon. I’m not going to write a full review — I enjoyed the movie and that’s pretty much the end of it for me. I will say, however, that I’m happy that it wasn’t some silly sappy romantic comedy. Despite the subject matter not necessarily lending itself to such, I find too many movies stray in that direction unnecessarily.
Don’t get me wrong. I love those silly sappy romantic comedies. I just am glad this movie wasn’t one of them.

As implied by, but not stated explicitly in yesterday’s post, Sera has reached level 80. The last time I had two characters at cap was right before BC came out, and one of them was shelved so it barely counts. These last levels flew by. Again, I managed at least two levels over the course of a week, most of it on the weekend. Daily quests made up a good chunk of the experience, I think, and the push to finish the Valiant stage of the Argent Tournament (the first one, at least) as well as get to the point where I can do the Frenzyheart dailies seemed to be much if not all of the last level.

I’m in love and I feel guilty about it.
I’ll explain, but we’ll have to step back in history a bit. When I started Sera, it was largely out of frustration. I’d been playing on an RP-PvP server and my solo character (not a good idea on a PvP server) was a mage. Mages are very squishy. Extremely squishy. Maximally squishy. I was tired of getting ganked. I needed revenge. Who is best at ganking the gankers? A rogue! And so, Sera was born.
That PvP beginning has flavored everything about her. Her spec, the one I used for leveling, has always been focused on disabling the opponent and surviving the fight. Maximum DPS suffered so that maximum survivability could benefit.
