    Yeah, I shouldn't complain. After going through a sleep regression at 18 months where it was pretty constant multiple wakeups a night for most nights for around a month (good luck with that if you get the same Noodle), he actually got his sleep mojo back for most of this week without getting up...

    In other news I was up four times last night with my son who turns 2 in October. Fuck, I really thought the midnight wakeups would be mostly done by now.

    Yeah, you need less than you think you do especially if the list is really long. That said, there are some "non-essential" stuff that I thought were really great, but it's always YMMV for that stuff. FWIW the biggest one of those for me was the swaddle sleep sack, where you zip them in and just...

    Moving out of country - USA to somewhere else?

    The biggest hurdle is not any hard skill or red tape, it's your own openness and willingness to experience a different culture and way of life. I lived in Korea for ten years, and it became quickly apparent after living there that the happy expats are the ones who are expats by choice and open...

    Podcastic

    +1 for Podcast Addict. I loved the first "season" of Malcolm Gladwell's new podcast Revisionist History. Through that show I listened to the first episode of Placemakers, which I also liked. I also listen to a bunch of the ones already listed, TAL etc.

    Lukewarm win for Spurs. Not going to complain about three points, but it was far from a dominant performance in the home opener against a team that we should beat (Palace). It'll be interesting to see the squad rotation in midfield, Alli is playing too well to be coming off the bench regularly.

    The Tragically Hip

    I thought he was (understandably) shaky at first, either from feels, or effects of his condition, or both. But they really ended up settling in and giving a great show. It was awesome to watch.

    <Fires of Heaven> WoW Guild - [Horde] [Hyjal-US]

    I was gonna stick with my stable of Alliance characters for Legion, but I think I'll come play with you guys instead if there's still room for one more. I have to decide what to play now though, it'll have to be a transfer or a boost. To that point, does anyone know if the "class trial" system...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yeah, fwiw I just finished leveling my warrior last night to 100 - at 90 I was Arms, but had switched to Prot by 94 or so even for questing just because the advantage in durability way outweighed the slightly slower kill time. I did 98-100 after pre-patch and it felt quite different but still...

    My Marvel Unlimited sub just renewed for a new year, last year was my first. As long as you like Marvel (obv) and are OK with a six-month delay on the release of new stuff it's awesome imo. Never going back to a new monthly pull list.

    Sound AND music! Immersion bro. In all seriousness I don't really like listening to other stuff while playing for some reason, unless I'm mindlessly grinding something (which basically never happens anymore).

    It looks like Daniel Bryan on Smackdown is remaking Dolph in his own image, only more heelish potential. He has a lot of the same underdog/amazing performer stuff going for him, minus only the indie cred.

    Is this where we talk about MLS?? For the EPL, as a Spurs fan I'm excited for this season, CL and all, but I'm worried about squad rotation and I'm worried about being confident about the team - that has never panned out well before.

    Hmmm. Just found this pretty recently and am currently halfway through season 2. That`s a bummer to hear it goes downhill, I'm diggin it so far. I'll probably take a break to catch up on a couple of other series before moving on to season 3.

    Yeah I hate the motorcycles and their sounds too. On the flip side, I just logged in to my shaman for the first time since before the pre-patch and played around with elemental - the new sound for lightning bolt (a stormy thunderclap basically) is so fucking badass and makes me want to play it...

    My son is almost 2 and we still cook most of his food separately from ours. We eat a lot of spicy food etc that we can't give to him, so it may be a while before we settle in to true family dinners. We're pretty hardass about what he eats...my wife puts a lot of time and effort into making...

    Yeah, my only 2 100s are druid/rogue, but I'm pretty sure there aren't enough class-unique items to account for the discrepancy. There are also specific items that I know are missing (my druid definitely had Earthwarden during TBC for example, but I couldn't find the model). I did also log in...

    So I logged on a few characters and got Fashionista in pretty much every slot for leather. Open the tmog interface, and it tells me I have far fewer than 100 appearances in any given slot, and I know for sure I'm missing stuff that I had gotten in previous expacs. Am I missing something?

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yeah makes sense. The Sub artifact ability seems like it will be pretty situational unless the damage on it is high enough to make it use-on-cooldown (or close to it). The new Shadow Dance needs to be used with high energy for three Shadowstrikes in the dance window but low CP since Shadowstrike...

    I only had time to mess around a bit with Sub last night, which seemed decent enough but I'm still getting used to it. I was leaning towards playing sub over assassination but I'll check out both. It's a bit hard to come to conclusions about spec without having the artifact though. For both...

    I'm Alliance As for the Apexis dailies I had been avoiding them a bit because I find them a bit tedious, but I recently started doing them again for the oil. I'm saving the crystals for the catch-up items and the oil for ship missions prioritizing the ring items. I'm sure I can finish the...

    I'm starting to realize that I'm not going to have time to do everything I wanted to do by the time Legion drops. I just resubbed about a month ago with a druid at 100, then just last week used my Legion boost on a rogue. Basically just looking to set up simple gold-collecting garrisons on those...

    I'd rather win ugly than lose, it just doesn't inspire confidence. Valanciunas was good again last night (in the 4th at least anyway). The flip side of surviving these games with subpar performances from Derozan and Lowry is that winning is that much more likely if they find their form, but it's...

    That's the crazy thing, with the playtime tokens providing a de facto exchange rate to real-life money this mount is the epitome of a vanity item. They should have made it look deliberately luxurious or something. I'm not worried about missing out on the mount, but those numbers are pretty...

    Yeah I think the pointlessness of gold is stopping me from getting too sucked in to the garrison-optimization black hole. I'm not that tempted by the usual gold sink items, so I really only need it for fast-tracking gearing by buying a crafted, or powerleveling a prof (which is also moot now)...

    Even assuming that Durant, Curry and Thompson are all unselfish guys and would make an honest effort to play nice together, hoops is a "too many cooks" sport. There's only one ball. For most teams - for all the other teams in the league probably - 1 superstar is better to have than three role...

    I thought the PPV overall was OK. I was hoping, as always in the Rumble, for an unexpected surprise from either an entrant or a result (in this case, someone other than HHH or Roman) and didn't really get it, but it still had its moments. I enjoyed Owens/Ambrose, the Sasha comeback, Owens/Zayn...

    KLOE! Well with Lowry starting I agree Derozan has a much better chance now. The fan base has a funny relationship with him I think - he's been here for years, is a great guy with great work ethic, but somehow hasn't become quite as beloved as many others less talented. Half the fans want to see...

    I mostly agree, but the Habs need goals pretty badly and probably feel they're one of the few organizations who can ingest a personality like that and make them toe the line - no one player bigger than the shirt, etc. They might be right, and they might be able to get him at a low enough price...

    They are shamelessy going all-out here in Toronto to get people to vote for Lowry and Derozan for all-star. As a Raptor fan, with the game being here and the team actually being pretty good it would be cool to see them both make it but I don't think it will happen. Lowry will make it, Derozan...

    The Shannara Chronicles

    Yeah Eddings is a bit too light I think. The Eddings stuff also follows only one character's POV throughout the entire story (the vast majority of them anyway). That would get stale as a TV show, as the scene would never really switch to any other characters/locales.

    Yeah thanks, makes sense. The heater is in the basement and while the house isn't huge I can believe that the piping is not ideal for the tankless system. The shower seems fastest, which makes sense given what you said about clearing the cold water out first.
