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.

I’ve been wanting to see some more of the Northrend instances. Last night, someone in TBC asked (as is often asked) if anyone was interested in a random. After a few more folks piped up, we managed to get a guild(ish) group going. We were still discussing who would heal (Ceire is resto specced and bear feral specced, though I’ve never actually tanked anything) when we were ported into the dungeon – (Heroic) Ahn’kahet: The Old Kingdom.
