No. No. No. No. NO!'

So, I just heard something on the radio. It's an add for acid reflux disease. It's great that people have more and more meds to handle their problems, but for the love of God didn't someone think before they named this???

I give you: AcipHex.

I don't care if you spell it Aciphex, AcipHex, or AcIpHeX. It still and without a doubt sounds like "ass effects" on the radio, and no one catches this but me.

That should not be the name of acid reflux meds, that should be a competitor for Beano.

For barely getting five hours of sleep, I'm doing surprisingly well.

Last night one of my guild members started the first "Old World Wednesdays" runs in-game. Since the expansion came out, no one goes to the old cool raid places any more. So, he decided to get something going every week as a sight seeing tour. Last night, we went to my old favorite stomping ground -- Zul'Gurub. As I had been there so often, I lead the group of 20 in there.

We had a really good time, even though we were like a bulldozer clearcutting the jungle. Three-quarters of the raid was over level 65, so the formerly level 60 instance was pretty much a cakewalk. You died only if you goofed up royally or something was buggy.

I managed to polish off the last three of my Hornsby's to put to rest the chaos of last weeks cleaning fiasco and the issues with my two officers. The funny part was that by the time we were fighting Mar'li the spiders bite you and you get drunk. I was about two bottles in at that point. By the point it was time to fight Gahz'ranka (which we couldn't do because no one had the fish), I was into bottle #3. Right before that, you can gather up a ton of bottles of Darkmoon Special Reserve and get your character drunk.

NOTE TO SELF: Drunken wobbly effect in-game is very fun combined with real-world alcohol.

We went on and downed Hakkar, but at the cost of me not getting to bed until 12:30am. The alarm goes off at 5:25. Not only did I both stagger up the stairs and into bed, but also down the hall and into the shower in the morning as well.
