Once upon a time there was a cute gnome priest. (Using the words cute and gnome are completely redundant, but that's besides the point.) Anyways, this gnome, Kakigori... she was working on finishing up the Noblegarden holiday achievement. After collecting
It's been a crazy week as Im back in NC for work for a while. Blogging and WoW playing will be at a minimum for another couple of weeks, pretty much only on the weekends. So Noblegarden. I did take last weekend to grind out the 500 chocolates needed
Look! It's a tree in a tree! Tree^2! I often end up with serious lag at the Darkmoon Faire, to the point that this where I ended up while doing the Cannonball daily one day. Here I look a little freaked out (perhaps threatened by the foliage
Looking for some cute WoW items? Check out some of what I've come across lately. 1. Murloc shirt: Speaking of murlocs I'm a bit disappointed there haven't been any updates to the Save the Murlocs campaign. Do they not need saving anymore?
Oh my goodness, three days, three posts in a row! Gotta catch up from when I was gone. :) Anyways, a number of WoW related news stories. First, an article in the LA times on research around how playing video games, and specifically WoW, can improve cognitive
Happy Monday! Hope y'all (you can take the girl out of North Carolina but you cannot take the North Carolina out of the girl) had a good weekend. As for me I went skiing yesterday, which means I am a big bundle of soreness today. While skiing, a
I was pretty pissed this morning. Pretty pissed (though I should have been more saddened) that there are people who have to make low, personal attacks on those who don't agree with them. I guess either to make themselves feel better or because they
How to Write Badly Well is an incredibly humorous blog written by Joel Stickley. It started with a series of posts dispensing hilarious advice on how to well, write badly well (descriptive titles FTW) and now he has a book coming out as well. There are
I haven't tanked since ICC, but you know what? This bear sleeping bag just might inspire me to do so. Created by Eiko Ishizawa, I am so amused by this bear sleeping bag! This pic just cracks me up: This site notes "Please be warned that,
Sunday night we finally got Nkm the legendary staff from Firelands. I think the hardest part was keeping that little gnome alive to walk through the fire to get the heart. Mage needs more fire resist nao! After the raid we all gathered in SW for the
I've been doing a little bit of archaeology again after what must be at least a 6 month hiatus. We'll see how long it lasts, but I want the Tol'vir pet and mount. Anyways, I wasn't the only one this particular night: So yeah. On
As Gnomer already posted about, we had the opportunity to get together to BG this past weekend, along with the lovely Pugnacious Priest and BBB. I was looking forward to BGing with two folks who have the Justicar title and one who has Battlemaster! This
Yep, our rogue got his daggers out of DS last night. So when we got Nkm his legendary staff, there was something for the entire guild to share in the reward (i.e. the pet). We get our rogue his legendary and there's nothing for the rest of us? As
I am finally back in Seattle, having caught up on the sleep I didn't get for two weeks. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to do another 2 or 3 weeks worth of meetings again later in March. :( Anyways, some random updates. 1. About a month or
Yes, I'm still alive. Barely though, as work has been kicking my ass the last two weeks. This past week in NC has been so insane that I had to pull an all nighter last Monday night. I haven't done that since undergrad! Anyways, next week is
I've been crazy busy at work, which won't die down for another two weeks. AND I get to work all weekend! Hooray! /sarcasm. Starting next week I am traveling for work, to North Carolina, like I did for a good part of last year with my old firm.
So make sure you are logged into your google account, then go to this link. It provides demographic information Google has inferred about you based on your web-surfing habits. Let's take a look at mine: So we have my comics, check. Pandora, check.
So I was looking at my statcounter logs the other week and I kid you not, someone actually found this blog with this exact search: "I'm not bossy I just have better ideas". This is why statcounter rocks! Hmmm.... so I wonder if I should
Last Saturday night I had the pleasure of being on the Twisted Nether podcast. It was a good time, though I'm not sure if I talked enough. While Sam texted me at the start of the interview to take it over like I do our raids, I'm actually quite
1. I need a new game to play on my iphone. Anyone have any suggestions? I kind of got over Tiny Tower a while ago and have been looking for something new. Though perhaps what I need to be doing is chatting more with my Words with Friends opponents. 2.
This story is heart warming. A blogger and Gamestop employee Kristen Wolfe posted this on her Tumblr site: You thought I didn’t really notice. But I did. I wanted to high-five you. Yesterday I had a pair of brothers in my store. One was maybe
Over the holidays I had a decent amount of time to play and was running some old dungeons for pets and drops. I thus started to pick up a lot of old gear, which was fun to try on. This got me to looking up gear on Atlasloot and thinking through possible
I recently saw the movie Catfish off my Netflix queue. I'll try not to completely give away the plot, but the movie asks the question of what is real on the internet. What is really real on Facebook profiles? We don't even have to go as far
A bunch of random pics to share. 1. The only way to get me to follow: I don't think I need to say much with this one except to share the chat and the pic Jess sent me: Sigh. Jess probably wishes he had that leash on me when we were doing Nef.
I am definitely looking forward to flying home to Chapel Hill tomorrow for the holidays. I'll be back home for about 10 days, though I will definitely have to work next week. :( Anyways, a couple of holidays related notes I wanted to share: 1. A
O'hai there! Long time no see, or er blog! As predicted, work has been the pvp/bg equivalent of WoW. Pretty crazy with intense deadlines while assumptions and supporting data change by the minute. It really irritates me when I am too busy at work
My job tends to be a job of extreme peaks and valleys. It's either incredibly crazy 80 hour work weeks or an absolutely dead 20 hour work week. In WoW terms it's like the two extremes of boring ass archaeology and sheer craziness of doing pvp.
Last night was our first foray into Dragon Soul. I forgot to take any killshot screenshots. So here is one of my typical recreations: Lets go around and explain. In the bottom left corner, there's warrior Jess. He's showed up as a good raid
Hooray happy patch day! So what does 4.3 mean to the guild and I? Several things. 1. Back to mom and dad fighting: Jess and I have done every new 5 man that was come out since back in BC. We have this tradition of doing them together on the first night.
RNG? Seriously I think we should rename it RNGMA. As in random number generator my ass. Smoldering Censer of Purity still refuses to drop. Shared loot table? Yeah. Shared loot table my ass. (Warning, I am predicting an inordinate use of "my ass"
