1. Teaching day. Graded the online course, prepped the in-person class. This included quite a bit of copying.
2. Co-vivant had a meeting and didn't get home until late, so didn't watch much TV. This is just fine with me.
3. Got Pogo badges to at least 40%.
4. Level 26 Night Elf Druid. Worked mostly on Charred Vale stuff, finishing the four quests there and dinging 27 in the process. Did the second quest in Reclaiming the Charred Vale, then went to Stormwind to turn in Mauren's Retrieval. Zipped by Darkmoon Faire to pick up another buff (the last had worn off), and now I'm all prepped to do Deadmines tomorrow. We'll see if I can actually do it this time.

6/6: What I Accomplished Today
1. Not a whole helluva lot.
2. Not a teaching day, nor did I have to prep or grade anything.
3. Watched some dumb TV. I don't remember what it was.
4. Got Pogo badges to 20%.
5. Still working on Night Elf Druid level 25. She dinged 26 today doing miscellaneous Ashenvale quests. I still haven't been able to find a suitable Dead Mines group. Whenever I ask about a group, I'm bombarded by little level 12's and 13's who don't have a prayer. Occasionally I find an appropriate mix of appropriately-leveled people, and halfway through, somebody critical (like the tank or the healer) has to go do their algebra homework. This is really frustrating.
6. The BigFishGame is another find-the-stuff game. I can't imagine there are enough people on Planet Earth to support this many find-the-stuff games.

6/5: What I Accomplished Today
1. Voted. Only two races (a really ugly City Council race and a judge race), but you still vote. The quotient of 8"x11" glossy campaign mail to actual mail we receive each day should now return to normal.
2. Went to school; graded online course, prepped in-person course, finished almost all the EPT stats, taught.
3. We watched The Riches and Big Ideas for a Small Planet: Create. Nothing in particular comes to mind.
4. Caught up on my magazines.
5. Logged in to World of Warcraft intending to taking my Level 25 Night Elf Druid through Deadmines, but I'm having a miserable time finding a group. Blech.
6. No Pogo stuff; Co-Vivant didn't feel well, and the little tablet PC is a good diversion for her.
7. BigFishGame is something that didn't look fun. Since their new version, I haven't been able to get the last few games I've tried to download to work. If this doesn't change, I may as well drop this membership. (I'm doing less with this since I've started playing WOW anyway.)
Now I'm sorta tired and will probably go to bed.

6/4: What I Accomplished Today
1. My first online 100 of the summer, the 10-week, started today.
2. Went to campus and picked up the book for the class that starts tomorrow. I remember now why I changed books; these suck. I'll have to bring in a lot of additional readings.
3. Finished the week's Pogo badges and did some work on premium badges.
4. Got the last characters through the Darkmoon Faire Tier 2 quests. Started the Level 25 Night-Elf Druid on Dead Mines, but my heart wasn't in it.

6/3: What I Accomplished Today
1. Well, for starters, I apparently forgot to blog yesterday. I worked on my online courses. Today, I got the online 100 that starts Monday all done and the one that starts July 2 almost done.
2. No Pogo badges; I've been working on the online courses.
3. Co-Vivant wasn't feeling great, so I put on a DVD we hadn't see before of Johnny Carson's old show before he had the Tonight Show. These were cute and funny.
4. Darkmoon Faire; this month's goal is to get all nine characters over 1000 neutral reputation, which means they'll have finished the first two quest tiers. Right now, all nine have finished the first tier, and five of the nine have finished the second; it should be fairly easy to have the other four wrap up this sucker tomorrow; I think I can get enough leather to my leatherworker that everyone left should be able to finish on Toughened Leather Armor. (The engineer knows the formula to finish the 3rd tier, but the materials for that are cost-prohibitive right now.)

6/1: What I Accomplished Today
1. Had lunch with a colleague, and we brainstormed several possible topics for next year's TYCA-West. We'll submit a proposal on one.
2. Went to the main campus department office to get a copy of the current edition of a textbook I don't have. Wasn't able to get this book, but it was a good thing I went for two reasons: a. the course I thought was six week is actually 10 week, so that sketch-out, which was very, very nearly done, needs to be redone; b. I might get a third class, which would make less free time, but significantly more moolah. We'll see if it comes about.
3. Finished reading the article on Sethian Gnosticism at the end of the Nag Hammadi collection.
4. For one textbook I don't normally use, I was able to get a copy of the newer edition, which I compared to the previous edition for which I already had activities written; it's not a lot different.
5. Watched All Quiet on the Western Front, which I hadn't seen before. Very enjoyable.
We also watched the "Furnish" episode of Big Ideas for a Small Planet. We watched some other little comedy things, but I don't remember what they were.
6. Worked on my Pogo badges.
7. Level 25 Night Elf Druid. Finished the outside-the-instance Deadmines quests and the Stalvan sequence up until the last one.
8. Today's BigFishGame is some pinata game; it looks like a clickfest. I'm excused.

5/31: What I Accomplished Today
1. Co-Vivant was so excited that I finished the grunt work on the transcript last night that she took me to lunch. We had dum-dum food.
2. Got all Pogo badges to at least 60%; earned a premium badge in the 10-spot Badge Book and began the next.
3. Watched some forgettable TV.
4. Finished Reading Judas; there's an essay on the Sethian school of Gnostic thought in The Nag Hammadi Scriptures that I'm reading now since the Gospel of Judas seems to fit into that school.
5. Level 29 Night Elf Hunter. Played some Warsong Gulch (which I don't like much) and Arathi Basin (which I do). Finished Velinde quest sequence. Turned in Lost Chalice. Dinged 30; spent the talent point on the third level of whatever talent thing I've been working on. Went to Darnassus to train. Updated stats and had all characters do a mail check.
6. BigFishGame is another find-the-stuff. No, thank you.
