So I was mistaken, it happens more often than I’d like.
Turns out there is a resurrection thingie in the Unwaking Waters area… just the other faction had control of it. Of course this last time when I actually discover this, I ended up not needing it… since I actually took my time and stayed out of trouble. I also learned that I could backtrack into the Luxon areas, meaning I don’t have to do the stupid guard the baby turtles mission to get to those Luxon areas.
Got those last 3 Elite Mesmer Skills! Now on to the Ranger skills, methinks.

I’m 3 Elite skill caps away from having all the Mesmer elites (I already have all the necromancer elites capped). Unfortunately 2 are on the Ring of Fire Islands, and 1 is in the Unwaking Waters in Cantha. I died on the Ring of Fire mission last night when my team of super smart heroes/henchies agro’d a bunch of drakes who burned us to the ground. Then the power went out (thunderstorm) and after sitting in the dark for a couple minutes decided to put up playing for the night even after the power kicked back on.
I tried the Unwaking Waters area a couple times earlier this week… there’s no resurrect locations in that explorable area. That REALLY sucks. That and the guy I’m trying to get is hiding behind a Elementalist boss, a group of Oni, and a bunch of Mobs.
Getting those last Elites won’t be that bad, but it’ll take some time. Time hasn’t been in great abundance lately. Katie demands her share which is significant, but I don’t mind giving it to her.
With Super Metroid coming out on Virtual Console next week, I don’t Guild Wars will be getting much of my time. Granted that the week following that the Guild Wars Expansion will be on the scene, so I won’t be neglecting it for long.

Katie and Wii

You got to start these kids early on them video games, or they just don’t come out right. Here’s Katie hanging on to the Wiimote (luckily it’s my wife’s wiimote, mine is safely hidden). Granted she isn’t actually looking at the TV and she hasn’t figured out that the controller is more than just a bang stick… but it’s a start.

“International terrorism annually causes the same number of deaths as drowning in bathtubs or bee stings. It would take a repeat of Sept. 11 every month of the year to make flying as dangerous as driving. Over a lifetime, the chance of being killed by a terrorist is about the same as being struck by a meteor.”
Wake up America… and please let me go into an airport without having to take my shoes off.

Gender Flipped Warrior

Here’s an update on my weekend Guild Wars progress (I know no one cares but me).
My elementalist managed to get his last 15 attribute points, which is a major check mark off the to-do list. He also capped an elite skill along the way. Next for him is progressing further in Elona… because I want to by him some Vabbi armor. That is unless the GW:EN ele armor turns out to be really cool (not holding my breath).
Satine, my main necromancer character, capped a few more mesmer elites. She’s already got all the necromancer elites and most of the normal necro skills. Figured I’d work through the other profession’s elites working through each campaign respectively. That way I can pick up each title along the way. There’s still a long way to go.
On a side not I picked up a couple more gold items that pushed Satine’s wisdom track almost to the half way point.
The biggest news is I finally deleted the mule monk that did nothing but hold item upgrade components. It took a bit, but I managed to find places for everything she was carrying and then deleted her worthless butt. After freeing up that character slot I decided to make a PvP character, since I’ve never bothered to keep one handy.
If you remember last April Fool’s Day GW played a trick where they flipped the gender of your character. I was very impressed by my big drunken warrior’s womanly twin, so much so that I’ve brought her back from the nebulous void. Behold Grimm Panda’s new PvP sister Twin Panda!
Actually the above picture is from the Fool’s Day event, but trust me… she looks exactly the same.

Finished Harry Potter #7
Originally uploaded by FlipSide3.
Finally finished during lunch! Turns out all I had left was the final chapter and the epilogue. Loved the ending, it came together perfectly.
The epilogue was good too. Didn’t explain in too much detail, but it didn’t have too. Though I hear JKR will fill you in on any details you want now that the series is over… and she’s planning an encyclopedia too.
She deserves a vacation, so I can wait for a few years.

Almost to the End of Harry Potter
Originally uploaded by FlipSide3.
I’m so close to the end it’s not funny. It was 1 a.m. and I just had to go to bed. This was not before I finished a chapter that made me feel things might turn out alright after all… just maybe.
This morning is going to be a long one. I wish my lunch break were here NOW!
