Treading Water

I didn't get far again last night. For various reasons, my husband is growing dissatisfied once again with WoW. Mentionable items include frustrations with the honor sytem implementation, lack of incentive (he's been lvl 60 for over 2 wks.), and personal grievances with other players in paricular.

Now, I play because I find it fun, but mainly as a fun thing to do with him in my spare time- which is limited to less than six hours five days of the week.

On the whole, we both miss each other's company and for days at a time we won't log on at all. Twice a month we go grocery shopping, and normally go to dinner and a movie once a month. Depending on what night we get our Netflix movies on, our fancy dictates if we watch them all night and part of the next or whatever. And most nights lately I've been the one cooking dinner- he's been cooking dinner for the past two or three months himself without much break from me. I normally get cleaning done in a couple hours on Saturday, and do laundry/dishes while soloing. So most weekends I get around 20-30 hrs of playtime. Or rather, free time to play, watch movies, read, go driving, etc.

This is why I'm only level 52 and he's been 60 for a while. He averages about 60 hours a week of waiting for me to get home and spend time together. Most of this time was spent in-game, making it not very novel.

So we rented In Living Color last night for Blockbuster. Before that, I was going yet again to Burning Steppes, but ended up wandering around far south of that in Blasted Lands (btw-the incomplete and jumpy linked in-game maps SUCK). I really really hate how both zones resemble Searing Gorge. Argh.

So I hearth to Lagforge (Ironforge for those of you who don't log on in peak hours)to help husband with a rogue alt that he is disproving various grievious comments made in a group conversation earlier. That didn't work out too well since I was trying to cook at the same time so we wouldn't break our diet and get fast food. We'll leave it at that. That's about the time we decided we needed to rent something amusing to get our minds off all the b.s. lately.

I'm never going to be able to wear my Arcane Cover. *weeps*
