Changes in attitude

Hubbyfink had the audacity to call me an addict for firing up "Fallout 3" after last night's conference call. I raised my eyebrow at him. He, who played his video game throughout my conference call and my post-work cooling-off period in the craft room in addition to several nights this week, had the nerve to call me an addict.

But anyway, I finished the Broken Steel DLC last night and then brought down the fifth and final Super Mutant Behemoth in the base game. For grins, I checked out all my achievements and noticed some new ones which included "Into the bog". Huh... not many bogs in the base game; is there a new DLC? I did a little exploring on Xbox Live and discovered a trailer for Point Lookout. Whoo hoo, rednecks! Maybe even redneck zombies? I couldn't quite tell. The DLC comes out June 23.

Doing my part to annoy the heralds

So. I was all excited about my persona name change. Well, I was excited about the first name portion anyway. I wasn't in love with Martelli but it was the best M-name I located to match the Florentine Pippa. But all the while I've been pining for Morosini.

Piiiiining.

I finally got a big enough bee in my bonnet to ask some heralds about mixing names from different Italian states. Unbeknownst to me, until last night, the College of Heralds treats the Italian states as one country. Whoo hoo!

I have now potentially annoyed one herald by asking her to withdraw my name submission and potentially annoyed another by asking her to draw up new name paperwork. Hopefully I've mitigated some of the annoyance by providing all the documentation she'll need for the paperwork. I should probably bake them some brownies as a peace offering as well... And I've promised that this will be my last name submission. For this year, anyway.
