That title pretty much says it all.  I was home alone on 12/31 after working a swing shift, having a few whiskey sours,9 and listening Stargate SG-1 on Hulu while banging away on level 78.  The clock rolled over and I was hoping to hit 80 within a few minutes of midnight, but I had to settle for becoming the first 80 in Alea Iacta Est at 01:10.  (I had nearly run out of quests in Ice Crown and was lamenting the possibility of having to go to Storm Peaks or Sholozar Basin for the wrap up when I lucked into a few quests. 

I continued to tank away the weekend, actually tanking Heroic Oculus and Heroic Utgarde Pinnacle.  (I really like Utgarde Pinnacle. Very fun.)

I did find that I thank better when I feel like tanking and typically feel like it when I can get a handful of instances in the bag.

In other news, my gearscore blows.  Like 1200 blows.  While not the sole indicator of performance, I want to do Naxx and Uldular and the ToC raids as well as the new stuff.  I’ll be hitting that LFG button a lot over the next few weeks, it appears.
