I realised that I haven’t written in a while and it’s all due to WoW. It’s been the only thing on my mind these past couple of days you know. Let’s see, last Saturday I woke up at 8.30am and the first thing I did was turn on the computer and played WoW. The next thing I knew it was 1.30pm, my head was hurting and I needed to get food. A similar thing happened on Sunday but I only played for 4 hrs instead of 5. Mind you this doesn’t count the hours I spent playing later that evening. But honestly, WoW is amazing. The world is just so expansive and it becomes a joy just exploring the place. Let’s see, on Sunday I took a 30 minute journey just to get to where Juno was in the game. It wasn’t bad at all because along the way, I got to fly a hippogryph, take a boat, and best of all, taking a tram form Ironforge to Stormwind. It was almost like taking an actual subway ride in New York you know.

I really want to say a lot more about the game but doing so makes me want to postpone this entry and play WoW instead.

Anyway, I do have a life aside from WoW. Saturday, Juno and I had to separate ourselves from the computer to go to the Taste of Lexus event down at El Toro. Fortunately, CozyClear went to the same event up in the bay area last week and I liked the photo she used on her blog…

We arrived around 3pm and we had 2 hours to test drive the cars they have. They had the IS 250, 350, BMW 330, GS, BMW 530i, and a Merc E-class. There were a ton of people so we didnt’ get to drive a lot of cars and only ended up trying the GS 430, IS 350, and the BMW 330i. Honestly, I really prefer the 330i to the 350 just because it felt really good driving it. Sure the Lexus is a lot faster than the BMW but that’s pretty much it… the Lexus didn’t feel that great of a car to drive compared to the bimmer.

On Sunday, Al Lowe and I watched Pride and Prejudice. It really is a chick flick but I really wanted to see it because… get this… Spooks’ Tom Quinn (a.k.a. Matthew McFadyen) is Mr. Darcey. eeep!

I also loved the soundtrack and you can get a pretty good idea of what the it sounds like from their website. Now, I’m trying to look for the sheet music but can’t seem to find it so I’m a little pissed off.

Speaking of movies, Harry Potter opens this Friday!! I can’t believe it’s finally here! Now, I just need to find people to watch it with. Oh yeah, can you believe that the 3rd Potter movie only came out last year? i can’t, it seems so loooong ago. but I checked my xanga blog, and there it is June 5, 2005… the day I watched the movie. Here are the tickets to prove it…

Also other movies to look forward to… Brokeback Mountain and The Chronicles of Narnia, both come out on the 9th of December! I dunno if I can watch both movies on the same day since I may be too emotianlly drained from watching either movie.

In other news, I’m currently listening the audio book for The Lincoln Lawyer. This really is the book to read if you’re looking for something to start this winter. BTW, the Lincoln refers to the car and not the president. Sort of reminds me of The Da Vinci Code because it takes place in real places. But unlike The Da Vinci Code, this one just revolves around a lawyer dealing with a rape case. Scary, exciting, and funny is what I can say about the book.

Oh yeah, my mom is also arriving soon! I also wrote about this a year ago. I remember Lilly Dee liked how I used the Die Mommie Die! poster.

So yeah, tonight I survived a day without WoW. Maybe I can get passed this addiction afterall.
