I&#8217;m likely to play it about as often as I launch Second Life &#8211; which is to say, almost never &#8211; but it&#8217;s amusing nevertheless to get &#8220;FedEx&#8221; quests* from Johnny Depp. None yet from Orlando or Kiera, but then, those are probably saved for people who actually play.<\/p>\n<p>Starr went to her mom&#8217;s on Tuesday to plant the irises I retrieved. Turns out there were about two dozen, so with the other plants she&#8217;d brought, she spent most of an afternoon digging. Add that to her hospital shifts for Wednesday and today, and I&#8217;ve got a still-tired lady on my hands!<\/p>\n<p>Happy WoW stuff: thanks to <a href=\"http:\/\/shrewlet.livejournal.com\/\" class=\"lj-user\">shrewlet<\/a>, I got all the materials to finish building Mirandala&#8217;s epic quality <a href=\"http:\/\/wowhead.com\/?item=32494\" target=\"_new\">Destruction Holo-Gogs<\/a>. Among other materials necessary were 206 chunks of difficult-to-mine ore&#8230; I can only assume that a LOT of refining is done to turn that into a single pair of goggles.<\/p>\n<p>Also, my polymorph quest issue was resolved while I was offline, so Mir can now turn people into pigs. Thank you, GMs! Too bad that the spell&#8217;s unavailable to my warlock, since I named her <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Circe\" target=\"_new\">Circy<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>And thank you <a href=\"http:\/\/ranchonmars.livejournal.com\/\" class=\"lj-user\">ranchonmars<\/a> for the postcard! I have too aged since the <i>Pathfinder<\/i> days, but it&#8217;s dang nice of you to say otherwise \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><i>*Game character A gives you item to take to character B, who will reward you with money, loot, XP, or often as not another FedEx quest. Perversely amusing when characters A and B are less than 20 gameworld yards from one another.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This morning brought a bank of that 30-meter visibility fog, and the &#8220;bridge from nowhere to nowhere&#8221; effect on the Monitor-Merrimac.
