Getting Off: the Quest for the Orgasm

So we’re partying at Shelly’s new pad in Gainesville, and the conversation turned (as it always does) to sex.

I’ve had a vasectomy; best $150 I’ve ever spent. Prior to that, I always relied on mechanical or hormonal birth control, and with condoms now at a buck apiece (or more!), goddamn if that doesn’t get expensive after a while. And you know, people just don’t think about the amount of money they spend every year to get off.

So, I’m curious…

Because I’m a geek, and I’m easily amused, and I don’t have enough to do as it is…

…I’ve started a new project to entertain myself. It’s a new LiveJournal, which I will be a travelogue.

Specifically, a travelogue of a first-level character who is trying to visit every zone and discover every windrider path in World of Warcraft.

Now, travelling anywhere except the newbie areas in WoW is extremely difficult, and in higher-level places it’s almost impossible for a low-level character to move more than a few feet without being killed. But none of that bothers Thark, the young and naive Orc who’s making this journey. You see, Thark is very naive, and very earnest, and he sees himself as something of an ambassador of peace for all the different people of Azeroth.

I wonder how long his naivety and his optimism will last.

The journal is at travelling_wow, and I’m already amused. 🙂 I plan to update it at leastonce a day with Thark’s journey and discoveries.

Random fun on a Saturday evening…

Last Thursday, i ate lunch in a small cafe on the first floor of the office building where I work. I ordered a tuna and cheese wrap, a SQL Server buffer overflow attack, potato salad, an F-22 Raptor, and duct tape. I didn’t get all of the things I asked for, which was unfortunate. I won’t say it ruined my lunch, exactly, but the afternoon wasn’t all I had hoped it would be.
