We looked at a variety of townhomes and apartments, but found the townhome layouts to be lacking.  Specifically they all have a sense of confined space, where the living arrangements would have to make compromises based on the angles and abutments intrinsic to the design.  After 2 years of fighting with space, I just want a playground to fill with stuff.

The apartment we did get is large and simple in its layout.  Not much more than some rectangles, and enough room for the 2 couches and recliner so we can comfortably sit 6 and also have room for some dining space on the huge island.  Another key factor is that we will have enough space to organize our stuff the way we really need to… cabinet and other space in the bathroom, bedroom, kitchen… will be great.

Now comes the less fun part… the move itself.  Whee?

I have some coworkers who play WoW, and this doesn’t phase them at all… their in-game numbers dwarf my ludicrous Oblivion time.  Another good reason to avoid WoW like the plague.

Among the lucky, you are the chosen one

I am apparently the Luck Messiah.

Uncool how both super glue and my eye drops are the same form factor. That would make a very unpleasant mistake.

Woman Glues Eyeball Shut

Life lesson:

if only she was following me on twitter, this whole catastrophe could have been avoided

Here I am, having just defeated the deadly Level 91 flying creep wave while still having all 20 lives intact.  This was the first time I’d ever managed to do this, and likely the key to my eventual success.

Whelp, I survived the insanity of level 98 and 99… barely.  Since there were no more flier waves to come, I could sell off all of my anti-aircraft defense and focus all of my resources on bash towers.

The trick now is to keep on juggling your creeps until they fall from attrition.  I re-used the centre space, and installed a “pressure valve” in the form of the top centre pellet tower.  This allowed re-balancing if the stream of creeps got too spread out.

OMFG.  I am I actually doing to do this.  Only one more creep remaining, the deadly armoured creep.

SUCCESS.  This is the cumulation of months of determination and hard work.  I actually devised a spreadsheet to compute the maximum damage and cost effectiveness of the anti-aircraft towers and boost towers.  I was ridiculed and told it could never be done.  But here I am.  The victor.
