I have owed my sister a phone call for several days, and perhaps if I post it here, I will be looking at it tonight and go, &#8220;oh yeah, I really need to do that&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>We actually managed to get out of the house for a bit on Friday night &#8211; we&#8217;ve not been good at that for the last couple of weeks. It&#8217;s so easy, when one of us doesn&#8217;t get home until 7:30 or 8, to say &#8220;screw it&#8221; and vegetate for the rest of the evening, but we made ourselves go out with friends, and had a sorely-needed good time.<\/p>\n<p>After a Saturday full of more moving and cleaning, Starr and I got our WoW characters each halfway to level 67, at which point they will have passed my poor gnome mage I&#8217;ve been leveling since long before <i>The Burning Crusade<\/i>. There was debate over whether we&#8217;d stick around Outland once we hit 68, and quest a bit in Shadowmoon or Netherstorm; but the urge to take off to the Great White North is strong. We&#8217;ll see.<\/p>\n<p>Along those lines, I need to contact my gaming group &#8211; our session three weeks ago was cancelled due to host illness, and I never even heard whether or not we scheduled a session last week. I was prepping to start a Shadowrun for the group, and I assume there is still interest. I&#8217;ve also got a box full of giveaway gaming material from the Stuff Reduction Plan, and I&#8217;m hoping that they&#8217;ll want some of it.<\/p>\n<p>Tensions are still cooling slowly on the cat front. Early this morning, Midori and Precious repeatedly chased each other up and down the house stairs, which I think may actually have been play instead of attempted murder. The welcome absence of hissing and yowling is the peg I&#8217;m hanging those hopes on.<\/p>\n<p>The 45th anniversary of the Doctor Who TV show passed this weekend. I had to check out a YouTube video of the days when the Doctor was a cranky old man with a hyperintelligent granddaughter, and certain walls of the TARDIS control room were simple photographic blowups.
