Trader Joe, you done did me wrong. Again! (RL, WoW)

[thistlechaser]

I have developed a strange obsession with pretzels. Not the thin crunchy kind, the big thick soft ones. Somehow I had never had one before in my life until a few months ago, now I want to eat nothing but them. So, when I heard of pretzel bread/rolls, I really really wanted to try it. One day (this day, in fact!) Trader Joe had pretzel rolls on sale, so I went in just for them.

I had stopped going to Trader Joe a while back. Quality sucked, prices were through the roof, things were rarely as advertised. So, I can say with some confidence, no matter that I've never had a pretzel roll before, that these are not pretzel rolls.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think so. These are dense, soft, and sweet, but no other flavor than sweet. They're good, but they're not pretzel-y at all. (They're also 300 calories and 60 carbs for one roll! That's twice the carbs you should have in a meal! Arg!) I'll probably finish them (slowly, a half-roll at a time), but I won't be buying more from there.

In the land of WoW, we had our revenge on Naxx! I had gone once before, but the semi-random group we were with had some serious issues and things fell apart. Tonight it went smooth as heck! The shoulders I was after didn't drop, but that's not exactly shocking when something has a loot pool. We got the The Dedicated Few achievement, which I had really wanted (it tickles me, it reminds me of the guild I RP with, The Loyal Few). Plus a lot of good stuff dropped, so yay!

My damage wasn't great, wouldn't have been great even for WotLK (6.8K), but there were so many packs of trash and things would be dead before I could target something and /whine /whine /whine. But I only died once and all the bosses died, so it's all good. It's strange, but I swear I was doing better damage in WotLK. I'm stretching my memory here, but I think Haken (DK) and Thack (druid) were doing 8K on average. On the holiday boss this year, Haken was barely hitting 4K (Thack didn't do it), all my hunters did about 6K. I guess... both Thack and Haken had their best armor from doing instances, and now they're in quest greens, so I guess that makes the difference. ...I'm rambling!

Anyway, before Naxx, I got Reed to 20. He got 5 or 6 levels (I forget which) in an hour and a half through instancing. Amazing. But man, people in pugs. It was so so so easy to remember why I stopped doing those. Such godawful people. Fag this and gay that and tard and calling female bosses "ho"s.

Oh well. Hopefully RP tomorrow! And maybe the farmers market for pretzels!

Heh. I know I did everything in ICC up to Sindragosa and the LK more than that, sadly (and Sindy went down months before the LK did, so even she was a ton). I've been absolutely baffled by all the whining about raid lockouts being shared. Can't say I'm sorry not to be killing the same bosses three or four times a week as I run through on my main in 10 and 25 and then whatever else on alts...

I was actually happy when they announced that the lockout would be shared since it caused my GMs plan to make us raid 4 days a week (2 on each) to crash and burn. I can barely withstand 2 days of raiding, wiping, blaming each other, and wiping again. 4 would have made me go insane.

Yeah, I was long since tired of trying to field both a decent 10 man team and then to try to find a 25 too? Ugh. I really hope they don't give in to the whining on this. I don't even like 25's, I don't want to do them anymore!
