Should I Give Up

The thought crosses my mind now and then, and it wasn’t this morning, but it was in a song that I like so I figured I’d make it the title of today’s unfortunately late blog entry. Now, the title isn’t really in reference to anything like giving up the blog or the video projects I’ve been working on. Of course, I’ve given up on things in the past, as I imagine some people have done in their lives before. Does everyone always finish things through in every aspect of their lives?

No, it’s not particularly in reference to anything in general, just a four worded open ended question. And why is this blog entry so late? Possibly because I was really busy working on things all weekend? No, just because of laziness and the fact that usually I try to get the entry done by Friday near the end of work or when I get home, but neither of those were a possibility and we’ll find out why it wasn’t the latter in a bit.

We have a lot to cover, so let’s get it over with so I can go to lunch

(last) Monday! (8/18): Not really much interesting that I can remember. Sorry last Monday, you obviously weren’t good enough to be remembered . Edit: One thing I looked up was that I sent an email on okcupid on this day and checked again today (8/25) to see if I received a reply…and nothing! So Monday, you’re still terrible, hah!

Tuesday: BT push. We wanted to get as close to Illidan as we could in hopes that we would be able to get some attempts in at him. And although we had a lot of afks and silly wipes, we still got RoS down by the end of the night.

Wednesday: Usual filming day, but Gavino & April said we shouldn’t because they wanted to discuss things about the show instead of filming a new ep. Before that however, I went to mom’s to grab some dinner.

We solidified our site name: Blue Screen of Death. After we had finalized it, it was just a matter of time before I got some website space from our good friends over at Powweb. Now we have space and the new site url!

www.BSofDeath.com

Nothing there yet, obviously, but throughout the week I’m HOPEFULLY going to have something up. Once I work on a layout, I can start uploading previous podcasts (audio for first, and hopefully video and audio for the next few) and probably the pilot episode (the original one that started it all). If we get a skit done this week, that may go up as well. I’m thinking of talking to Gavino and seeing if he wants to maybe do a commercial, like the “no hassle walking” commercial. Guess we’ll see in time!

Didn’t record a podcast again, so this Wednesday we’ll have to get back in the swing of things, whether it’s after or before filming. Speaking of filming, we did end up getting some green screen footage for me to play with. Ultimately, I found out that the green screen worked great, but the fact that it’s such a small green screen kind of makes it really hard to work with (especially cause it’s a PAIN the f’n ASS to put back in the bag). I sent an email to Gavino recently suggesting we follow others who buy cheap cloth and make their own screen.

Thursday: We wanted to get some Council attempt in after we went in and downed Mother, but we didn’t have a good enough makeup to handle it. So in light of that, we rushed into Hyjal and cleared up to Archimonde. Took a few stabs at him but stupid problems stopped us from clearing it. We put that on the calender as a Monday off night thing to down him (which sucks because I made plans for that night and wanted the helm >< so tired.

Saturday: Did some dailies, some heroics and whatnot. I can’t remember if it was today or Sunday that I started thinking about what I wanted to do w/my Paladin. She is my best PVP healing geared toon, but these days is my least favorite to heal on. I’ve gotten so used to the mobility and whatnot of my resto druid that having to stand around and heal or only toss myself small holy shocks now and then just isn’t cutting it. I thought about going ret, but then looked at the sad list of gear I had to work with. Then I thought that I might go back to working on prot, since I already have done it a few times before and had a decent amount of gear for it. All I gotta do is either heal heroics or do some karas, collect badges, and buy the tanking gear and then see if I have the ol’ prot paly tanking touch I used to have.

The night continued with battlegrounds and retro instances! We started with MC which we cleared (it was fun watching Rag go down again). Then we pushed into BWL up to Broodlord and AQ40, but we couldn’t get Viscidious or Huhuran down, so we called it there. All in all it was a pretty fun night.

Sunday: Didn’t do too many dailies, but got a few BG dailies done on other toons and other stuff with the guild. Did a pug ZG that stopped before Hex Lord because they were awful (well, we did get 3 timed chests, which is pretty good for a pug, but past that, ugh). After that it was back into BT!

Illidari Council went down after 3 shots. 9 1/2 minute epic 3rd attempt saw them die and we collected our loots. Everyone was pumped up with excitement to see Illidan, which was really cool. Everything from the door opening to the epic conversation between Akama, it was very fun. Then the actual fight started. We mastered phase 1, which really wasn’t too hard for the most part. Phase 2, the most colorful, fires everywhere in your face, exploding blue death beams phase there ever is…kept us at bay. We couldn’t pass it. By the end of the night, we finally got one Flame of Azzinoth down, which I guess is pretty good.

So that’s it up to this point. Exciting as usual, I know. We have Illidan on watch though. 3 1/2 more phases to go! It’s really cool that we at least got to this point, especially because a lot of the ppl in the guild have school starting this week and coming up, so I’m sure that’s gonna hurt our attendence soon. Getting Illidan down would be a massive push for our gulid and (I could only imagine, since it will do it for me) will boost morale for everyone in general. We’re currently (due to another guild breaking up recently) 4th for Horde on our server. Sunwell soon!!!

Plans for this week? Some festival w/mom tonight. Said she called me Saturday to see if I wanted to go Sunday, but I saw no missed calls whatsoever, but w/e. Might miss Arch tonight, but I mentioned that already. Back into BT Tues. Filming Wed (hopefully a new ep? new skit? we’ll see). Illidan Thrusday? Party time action Friday?! lol, guess we’ll have to wait and see. Julius texted me at god awful 10AM on Sunday, I know he wants a music video soon. Gotta talk it over w/Gavino.

You’re the queen of the superficial, and how long before you tell the truth
