Just like mud

Well I've started raiding again.

..../cry....

To be fair I could say no but a part of me likes the challenge and part of is really that egotistical to see if I can out-damage people who are all epic'd out. Not yet but I was close. ;)

Got some good gear and my first piece of Tier 7!

After having read an very interesting article about saving money in these "hard economic times" (I'm really getting sick of that phrase) my life is going to change. Apparently slow cookers aka crock pots are more energy efficient and allow for the "lesser" cuts of meat to still taste yummy and great and all that. Currently I can only make beef ramen after marinating them for two days. This crock thingy has potential! However one question remains. Can I leave the food alone while it cooks? Sure leaving something that is only in the oven for 20 minutes alone is easy, I have the attention span of a hyperactive puppy. But to leave something alone for hours as it cooks?

Nope, can't do it!

Infected and sadly not by Zombies

I have really never been one for networking. Not when I was a teenager and playing hockey and not as an adult. I did have a crazy roommate who seemed to take offence with this. She made a Myspace page of me and to this day I cannot access it even though we have since had a falling out.
/Ugh to crazy people

/Sigh

So it came up in guild chat about how there was now a Facebook group of the Knights Who Say Ni. (I did not know it at the time but apparently there was also a page for me there as well, can't access that one either.) Being an officer I figured I should participate so I made one. It should have stopped there. But oh no it didn't.

Fill in the blanks. I kind of like doing that so I put in some info, likes and dislikes, my job, ect. Friends? Who do I know? Work guys, family, join the guild group. Quizzes? I like quizzes.

It never ends. Addictive to an extreme I've rarely ever run across it's also kind of creepy. Kind of like stalking 101.

And still tomorrow, yeah I'll be checking it.

They're Back and the End is near!

My friends who I started playing WoW with two years ago decided to come back to playing again!!! This came about as Ailis' trial had only an hour left and we were questing on our D Nuggets. We had to summon a wintersaber Shy-Rotam and kill her. Then I realized that occasionally she called her mate who is a rare ass creature and I had a hunter moment. I wanted him and I had to have him! So they helped me summon her three times and finally Sian-Rotam, her mate showed up. (When I say they helped me I mean Ailis declared that he would be mine and kept at it) Needless to say I dumped my pretty but unspectacular wolf and made a new friend. World say hello to Thykir! (He's cool, he's calm, he's the second friggin cat in my stupid stable and neither of them are over level 75. Lazy cats)

On the writing front a moment of wow (no pun intended) has occurred. My novel, that itty bitty brain fart that I am trying to mold into a cohesive something is now a puzzle. The outline has been completed. I've written the ending. Now all I need to do is fill in the middle. It's great, it's awesome, it's slightly exhilarating and makes me want to dance or at least day dream about dancing.

It really is a big help to have that ending done and drafted. Its like a weight is off my shoulders and I can focus on other things like the new story idea bouncing around in my brain plus a short story/novella idea as well. Being a writer can be hell on the hands but oh man I would not want to live any other way!

Five things I've learned in 2009

Woot 2009 has not been half bad so far. Not by a long shot. I'm healthy (cold aside and fingers crossed), happy and hopeful. Yes the recession is...umm...unpleasent but that aside this week has been great.

1.) Planning is the hard part. Finding a $745 round trip ticket to Tokyo has made my crazy little hobby into a full blown obsession. Booking in hopefully the next 2 weeks! Go Go tax rebate!!!

2.) Reinforced crates are really fish in disguise if the amount of points I've wracked up has anything to say about it.

3.) Pimp fishing hat - it's what makes fishing by myself worth while.

4.) Achievements - up until now something in game that I have purposely ignored until I found out I could change my title (currently Kelsomar, Champion of the Naruu) to "Salty". Sure "Guardian of Cenarius" or "Explorer" sound better but still...."Salty". It just sounds so...wrong then it has to be right!

5.) Writing while sick with the terrorflu of '09 is impossible, codine cough medicine kills any inspiration that the flu left behind. Sadly I am now behind on my word count but I have had some pretty weird dreams so maybe I can spice it up a bit with cane wielding turtles riding lawnmowers of doom through a world made of butterscotch. You never know it just might work!

My best friend found a trial version of WOW Wrath of the Lich King xpac and we've been goofing off all week. Doing what you might ask? Besides putting off leveling to 80 (sadly something that happened 2 days ago) we have been fishing!! Big fish, little fish, fish that aren't really fish at all but really crates of stuff, everything has been caught. Ailis (Brittany) is really way ahead of me close to 400 I think where as I'm still in the 330 range. Considering this is the hardest secondary profession to level up (taking as many as 12 sucessful catches to get one measly point!) we're doing pretty good.

Tonight we are going to put our mains aside and play

/cue dramatic lichy music

Death Nuggets!!

Yeah, I made one, I couldn't help it! All the other kids were doing it and said it was fun. Alcuish, the pink Death Knight of DOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!

Oh yeah she really is pink. LoL
