"Being Human" and WoW

[thistlechaser]

I was watching something on BBC America and then it ended and Being Human came on. Wow. The show grabbed my attention and hooked me in less than thirty seconds. I had to force myself to turn it off so that I could watch it from the beginning instead of wherever I was in the middle. As soon as I finish Big Bang Theory, Being Human is next up. (I keep tossing in single eps of Burn Notice and Merlin when I get bored of other things, but I can't watch eps of those two things back to back.)

WoW was slow today, but I think it might have been my brain's fault. I got seven hours of sleep last night, but that's not enough to recover from my whole week of no sleep. Hit 46 on rogue and got my second 60 purple piece. (Unfortunately I realized I should have gotten it last, because it'll just be replacing a 58 blue piece, where other pieces would be replacing something non-blue.) So that's shoulders and boots got (8.5K honor points each), and I need hands (8.5K), head (13K), and chest (14K). People tell me you get a lot more HP in AV, and I'm hoping that's the case. 46-51 in AB, then 51 on I can do AV.

Got semi-bored with PvP today, for the first time ever. It's probably my tired brain though, hopefully. It's amazing how well I've perfected slacking off and get still being the topmost honor points winner.







For some reason I have a crapton of these screenshotted, but here are three at random. Rarely I come in second place, and only time I come in less than second is if I'm sent into a match when it's already in progress. (I was level 40-42 in those screenshots, 40-49 bracket.)

Also did a little RP with a person who has issues understanding the difference between IC and OOC. The situation is very hard for my tired brain to deal with.

I'm pretty sure I'm having kidney pain. Damned stone better not be back. Must drink more water! Stupid rocks-inside-me...

Ahhh kidney stones! I've know some guys who have had them/still do and it's on the list of my fears. Go away kidney stones, I don't want you! DO NOT WANT!

I have them frequently...much less frequently the last year or so, after changing my diet 9 years ago (when I had my first at the ripe old age of 17). Pray fervently you never get 'em. Requires a change in dietary habits, and then long enough to get rid of all the ones you've stockpiled.

Dietary habit changes I used - drink only distilled water/drinks made with distilled water (filtered isn't good enough), and orange juice. Some say lemon juice helps alot, so lemonade probably fine...if made with aforementioned distilled water. As a southerner, this doesn't exclude my favorite beverage: Sweetened iced tea.

Huh, I totally forgot the suggestion to put lemon in my water! And that came from my doctor, not just rumor or something, so it should be a good thing to do.

I hadn't heard about the distilled water idea, that's probably a darned good idea, too!

There's some dispute as to weather lemon or orange is better for you...Both are good though. The simplified reason both are good is both are acidic, and the extra H+ ions help break down stones. At least, if I remember correctly.

You're correct, you don't want them! You don't want anyone you know to have them either. D:

[veloxe.livejournal.com]

Yes, but not me first. Then I will worry about using my mind powers to make sure no one else has them.

You mentioned "Being Human" and all I could think of was "Be Human," the famous Betty Boop short.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Hee! Not even close, sorry.

Hmm if you still like Being Human after watching the first 3 eps be sure to post again! I wanted it to be good but I thought the plot and acting in those first 3 was pretty bad. Would be nice to know if it got better, vampy is hot.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Oh blah! I hope I like it. Will be a few days before I start it, but I'll post again once I know!

This is kind of good to know, since I also happened to catch the 1st episode and thought "this looks like it could have promise," but then failed to remember the 2nd episode.

It definitely gets better. It also gets much darker; there was a scene last week that made me go 'whoa!' because it blew my little mind with how utterly creepy it was.

As for the first three episodes, yeah, they were pretty bad, but I thought the acting and dialogue were enough to keep me watching. I really love the naturalness in the characters interact with each other.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Eee, that's good to know! And "utterly creepy" sounds great! :D Three more eps of Big Bang Theory, then I can start on this one!
