Answer: a lot. I wanted to do an hour or so of Ultima Online last night, but unfortunately, I chose to try another fishing quest. The hour became several hours, as my first fishing quest got screwed by a server outage, and just enough rollback to undo the progress that had just encouraged me to continue with the bloody thing after a frustrating start, then I took a chance on another quest... found it required lobsters I'd already collected - well, ten, and I had nine... sailed to the Floating Market for more lobster traps... got the traps, quickly caught the lobster I needed... sailed ALL THE WAY back to Trinsic... collected my reward... and then it was nearly three in the morning.
I will be packing my bank box out with lobster traps, even if my fisherman has to take out an unfeasably large loan. At least I got a work-related screen capture, that's now my work PC desktop...

Development News... Two things about the impending new Mane-of-Night story...
1) The matter from yesterday is fixed, and liberally folded into the mix, and
2) I just saw a trailer for The Event - the next Flash Forward - and I will NOT be a happy bunny if this show half-inches the concept behind the new story. This story has been in the planning stages for months, long, LONG before I ever heard of The Event; since MoN-202: Mane-of-Night And The Watcher From Beyond - Epilogue - say, a year and a half, easy...?
Whatever the storyline is for this show, I'm changing nothing. I have a plotline in place, characters all ready to roll - even a published prologue, on top of the previously-mentioned teaser.
Later Today... A chapter post!
