LJ is full of odd and interesting things today.

I can't explain this, and I don't even want to try. (Work safe.)

I have no idea why these Russian boys are naked, but I could probably come up with an explanation as to why~. (NOT work safe, bare manbutts.)

[livejournal.com profile] mmmbento is a great blog in the same way that the Vegan Lunchbox blog is. It's amazing how much time these people will put into their lunches, but happily they take photos of all their work and post them on the net!

I would really, really like to know why some of my customers at work insist upon speaking German to me. Yes, my name (both first and last) are about as German as you can get, but that doesn't mean I can speak the language! I hate having to fumble around on the phone and grasp for my last memories of high school German class or hit up Altavista's bablefish translator so I can make some reply in my email. Sheesh, people. If I were black, would you ask me what Africa was like? I know they're not doing it on purpose, that it's only for positive reasons, but sheesh! Ich spreche nicht Deutsches! (Ha ha, thanks babelfish.)

By chance I left work 15 minutes early tonight, and I logged on just as the CS for Besieged was starting! Yay! Level 5, with two more level 5s right after it! Woo!

On one hand: I'm man enough to say I was wrong. Having mobs all over is nice and somewhat less laggy, and I was able to get back into "ground zero" (though I decided not to).
On the other hand: The Besieged change appears to have introduced a new bug, one which cost me (and many others) the reward for a whole wave. People randomly locked up and disconnected. Unfortunately for me it happened right at the end of the wave, so even though I never died once, did lots of damage, and got the killing blow twice, I got no reward at all. (I've been to other ones where there were 700+ people, and I never disconnected, nor did others in my party. Today many many people in my party alone (let alone around us) kept disconnecting.)

I got 700 XP and 659 XP for the other two waves (one death on the 659 wave), and had tons of fun. Part of me wishes that S-E would introduce a "beeper" service (you carry around a beeper RL, and it goes off when a Besieged is about to begin) -- I'd totally get out of bed, somehow get home from work, stop whatever RL stuff to go do it, that's how much fun I have at it. However, a bigger part of me hopes that they don't do anything like that, because I'd totally lose my job leaving so much. :P

Anyway, screenshots~!

I found love at Besieged! *nuzzle*nuzzle* (And darned it, I'm so tired of being short!)

After Besieged we ran off to do Eco Warrior, but some of our minds were still on the previous event. :P Deciding on mage jobs...

And lastly, this amused me so much:


That's the truth of it, and made me smile. HNM LSs are at each others' throats in other situations, but in Besieged they fight shoulder-to-shoulder. Then, of course, the real attitudes return:


*snickers* Dude, you cannot correct someone's spelling/grammar when your own is full of mistakes! But still, amusing. :D

Between Eco, Escort, and all these Besiegeds, I'm about a week away from being at the halfway point to having DRK XP totally capped. *boggle* I have no idea what I'll do with all my XP scrolls once DRK is full...
