Day 4? Shit I have no clue to be honest with you. Going to Chicago today. My one day away from City of Villains. Which I’ve managed to get to level 28. I’m sure I’ll be playing when I get back. Since it has been the only thing I’ve really been doing while I’ve been on vacation.

So this is the start of my vacation officially as I requested it. Once again the sheriff took it upon himself to give me something other than I asked for. Nice of him, but not what I requested. Makes me wonder if this is his idea of kissing my ass so I’ll be the helpful employee. Because that won’t ever happen without a raise and back pay.

So far I spent the morning of the first day of my vacation playing City of Villains with Gawain. We both made it to level 26 and I have six pets now. Here are some screenshots of the highlight of this morning:

The last two pics show the mission we were on. We happened to both lag out of the goddamn thing as we were trying to kill the arch villain that had just killed us moments before. So close. It was decided that breakfast was in order and we would try again at lunch time. What a vacation!

Getting to level 20 didn’t just get me my cape. It also is the first chance at getting a second costume slot. As seen below with my flying zombies :

It should be noted that the City of Villains branch of the Acolytes of Destruction now are a grand total of three people. Me, Gawain, and good old Kiltorn. As always I miss the old crew. Come play with us damn it!

2006 is here. I can speculate about what is coming for the hotel. But I don’t think I really care. I don’t give two shits right now how those idiots run the place. Why you may ask? Because I’m on vacation!

Starting at 7:00 am (or whenever the morning idiot gets in) I am on vacation! 9 glorious days. 216 hours. The place can fall down for all I care (it is), as soon as I walk out those front doors I no longer care.

I’m not going anywhere for my vacation. I may take a day to go into Chicago. But otherwise I’m vacationing in the game City of Villains for the majority of my 9 days.

Have a safe one tonight people. I’m off to the Bop for a night of boozing that is long overdue. Call me there if you really need me. Or better yet come on down and join me. Happy New Year!

With help from Gawain I was able to ding 20 and finish the missions to get my cape. I think it looks pretty cool:

I’m still having fun in City of Villains, which surprises me. I sorta figured I would have got bored by now. But it’s still keeping my attention for now. I need to play with the PvP some more. Just to see if its maybe easier than Dark Age of Camelot’s RvR.

So today WordPress 2.0 came out. I have been following it’s development, even running a svn copy here on my home computer. There are a number of improvements. Improvements you can’t really read about at the WordPress site since they have yet to really upgrade some of the texts dealing with what it does exactly since the last version (1.52). You take a look over here to see what is going on in the 2.0 release.

I decided to bite the bullet and upgrade this morning. Since it was just released I’m sure maybe a few bugs may pop up. For instance searching my site has an odd bug were it prints some goofey text out at the top of the page. For example:

string(6) “goofey” string(6) “goofey”

A small bug I admit but sorta distracting, at least for me. Again though it’s a really nice upgrade that adds some features I’m happy enough with that I’m willing to risk it. If anyone happens to see something goofey going on leave a comment in this post.
