summer?

just for schpat (and the people who love teddybears):

is summer back?
certainly seems like it today...
just one lecture today again... i managed to finish my ethics essay last night so i basically have the afternoon off. a little darkthrone, a little web browsing, and then off home for lunch, not forgetting roleplaying tonight.
moonflake seems to have gotten a cold/ sore throat and took the day off sick today. its about the only time she can afford to take a day to rest before more deadlines start attacking...

darkthrone: chatted to a bunch of people all playing in the labs today... they are all turtling. they say things like: "the amount of gold you get from an attack has to be high enough to offset the xp you get."
ie: i don't want to level unless i get so much money that i can make my army unbeatable.
xp does not figure into it if you are not a turtle! as a non-turtle (ok... i may be a little more agressive than most) i attack people for gold too... only i don't care about how much xp i get from the attack... i'll happily pillage 900k or 2mil. the amount of xp gained doesn't bother me in the slightest. obviously i understand that i need to bolster my army continuously to keep up with my level, but at least i don't take weeks off just to bloat my population.
damn turtles are almost as bad as the elves... and turtling elves, whoo-ee son, thems the worst!

well, nintendogs has just been released and stock of advance wars: dual stike and meteos have arrived so i'm going to go home and order one of them from take2.co.za (probably nintendogs).
oh... they also have 2 new colours for the ds in stock (no longer just the silver): pink and blue!
