So, seeing how it’s been just over two months since I last wrote, let’s play catch up…

End of August saw the start of a new term at Montgomery College. I picked up Spanish 2 and US History (Pre-Columbus to 1865). Much to my amusement, history was what is called an accelerated course. That means we did a semester course load in half the time. Loved it. Did a nation building exercise as a colony throwing off the shackles of the Mother Country. I was elevated to Lord High Chancellor, and things were good in our little dictatorship of Miraqistan. How can things be bad when our nation has a pink heart on it’s flag? Come on! Spanish is eh. Not a required course anymore. But back to Miraqistan! Remember how history was only half a term? Second half of the term introduced the years 1865 to 1960 and Miraqistan was invaded. To illustrate how the Reconstruction era went, prof split the room in two. One half, the great champions of democracy. The other, me in the jungle deposed of power and my supporters in hiding. Bless the souls of my group. We got way into our role as the pro-dictator camp. With business owners refusing service to the democracy demons and the downtrodden rising up to violence. I was so proud when the professor said we had won.

But you don’t care about my school and social life (or lack there of). You listen to me because I talk gaming. Recently I had the opportunity to go visit Hiko from Warcraft Anonymous and is lady friend the House Cat for a little D&D. I played a Dwarf fighter using only Heroes of the Fallen Lands book from the D&D: Essentials line. It worked out very well and I look forward to using more of them. Also with Hiko, I have joined a weekly game via Skype video chat. It’ a Dark Sun game and I play a Human Warlord with the Templar build. If you listen to Warcraft Anonymous, I sign all my e-mails from that character, Asad, the Lion of Raam.

Outside of D&D I have done little gaming of late. On and off WoW. Just dungeons and a Wintergrasp or two. At the request of a friend I have resurrected my Draenei as a Death Knight and my a warlock as well. Mostly my video game time has been occupied by Medal of Honor, Fallout 3, and catching up on Hulu.

Well that’s all for know. See you on the flip side.
