* I feel much better this morning. I definitely still have some gunk, but it is a lot better. Weirdly, I felt really good while walking last night. I was like getting my body moving helped clear some of it.
* I went photowalking at night with my lensbaby. One reason my night shots are so good is because I use very bright primes... lenses that are good at low light. Lensbabies are terrible in low light. I am used to having a nice +5 to my night shooting and using a lensbaby is like having a -10. But, that's what I am working on right now especially on nights when I am not walking far.
* Some people need to be reminded that you don't win an MMO. Or maybe, you win by enjoying it, not losing perspective and not treating it like a job. The expac is so great, but it's really brought out some weird behaviors and expectations in people.
Also, in a case of horrible timing several people in my usual crew suddenly can't be on during their usual times. Our raid trainer is an EMT and he got swapped to night shift. So, I am without my static for strikes and raids. Ah well, I'll get them done when I get them done. The content isn't going to suddenly disappear in a week.

Kind of annoying on the weird behavior of other players. I know I've heard similar gripes from other friends in various MMOs. It's not an "I win, everyone else loses" kind of a game. And bummer on the shakeup to your regular group. :/
