On Christmas, Children, and Azeroth (but not in that order)
First things firstly: I am getting back into World of Warcraft. The game’s appeal has, for whatever reason, returned to me. I have a hunter of the Night Elf variety (commence laughter) who has made it to the 28th level so far. Kaitlin has also started another character. A human paladin, level (as of this writing) 17.
The initial expectation was that we would level at an even pace (more or less), but things quickly fell apart when it became painfully obvious that I level a lot faster than she does. Hopes remain high, however. We’ll see what happens.
Yesterday, Deacon and I managed to do a bit of running around, two year old Kylie in tow, procuring the various gifts, sundries, and whatnots that would be required for the evening’s Early Christmas Gift Exchangery. By the end of it, I made off with a copy of Modern Warfare 2 and a jacket that appears to have come straight off of the set of Boondock Saints. Both are unbelievably sexy.
Having chased Kylie through half of the goddamn Walmart before cutting her off and scooping her up, we got lunch, ran another small errand or two, and went home. Kylie seemed remarkably pleased with her newfound ability to pee in a potty. Sadly, this resulted in some of the pee (proudly held in the little recepticle by her unsteady hands) landing on my laptop. The laptop was closed, thank God, and only the smallest bit of urine tainted its glossy exterior.
Such cannot be said for my back and t-shirt. She thought it a wonderful idea to pee on me when I wasn’t looking. It is the first time another human being has ever had the opportunity and the desire to do such a thing. I was appropriately amazed.
The evening was much more subdued, consisting mostly of movies and Kylie using me as a high chair while said movies were showing. I distracted her with an iPhone whilst I was busy typing something, and you can see a picture of it here:
That is all I have for you, gentle reader. May your Christmas be as merry as you could ever want. I’m certain mine will be.
