No, I don't update like I used to.
The fact is that when i work late, I just want to hop on World of Warcraft for a few hours, and then go to bed. This new work schedule (all evenings) is making grouping with my guild difficult, and I dislike that. I'm not even going to get into missing out on my Sunday RPG games, since I haven't been to one of those since January 15. (And I heard that they are starting a good ol' D&D campaign now... *whimper*)
On the other hand, I have gotten Runningstar to level 60. It's kind of nice, since that feeling of "oh, I better not do [thing], because I need to level" is gone. My fishing is up to 227/300. :) I also have a priest started on the same server, and he is up to level 16. Fun stuff.
I just finished reading Dan Simmons's Olympos. The sequel to Ilium, it wrapped up the story quite nicely. Somehow, all the disparate stories at the beginning of Ilium tied together quite nicely. If you like sci-fi or the Trojan War, you could do a LOT worse than reading these two books. Olympos rekindled my excitement for reading, even.
Finally, I also upgraded my computer recently. I now run an Athlon 64 3700+, 1GB of memory, and an ATI Radeon X850 Pro. I get 70 fps in WoW, and even maintain 50 or so while in Orgrimmar, which is nearly as bad as Ironforge. I still have to finish instaling applications, but I have my old main hard drive (upgraded to a 250GB SATA drive) on here too, so I have a dual boot Win XP system. :-p (Hey, it lets me go grab things I forgot, and it was a lot easier than burning the 50 GB of music to disc, and then copying it back to the new drive.)
Anyway, work calls...
