I'm a slacker....I know. The update.

I didn't realize it's been this long since I posted. Man what is wrong with me. Busy busy busy I guess.
Work drives me nuts and leaves my brain with much less room then I used to have. I keep trying to figure out a way to not be so damn drained at the end of the day that I don't even want to play WoW during the week. Weekends have been my thing lately.

I have 3 toons to 90. Warlock, druid and my horde hunter. I am planning on seeing the offensive from the Horde's perspective. Right now I'm doing, of all things, Argent Crusade dailies to get the pets from that faction. I just make sure I am not thinking about how long this is going to take, or I will just stop and not go back.

My raiding group has completely died. I am doing LFR when I find time and feel inclined. I've gotten the 4 piece which is exciting. Once the drop rate increased I had it in 2 days. What's up with that?!

I am excited about Blizzcon! I can't wait to see everyone! :)

I got the green fire tome 2 nights ago. I have never been one of those people to have good luck so I am going with the idea that they must have increased the drop rate or something. I didn't spend all that much time farming for it. I have probably killed a few dozen rares or less, and had decided it was going to take forever, and there is was! I got it off Ramuk. I don't know if that makes any difference. That being said, I am enjoying the Thunder Isle and it's dailies. I find it all rather interesting. The mobs are challenging in some areas. The elites are everywhere which makes you pay attention to what you're doing. The areas are diverse enough to keep me interested. All in all I'd say Blizz has done a good job with this one.

That's the wrap up in a nutshell. Take care y'all.

Post 100! Happy New Year

Hello and Happy New Year everyone!

We've made it to 2013. What timing eh? Post 100 and a new year. I think I'm just going to take this opportunity to let you know what's been going on in WoW for me.

First off, externally, as you can see, I'm not writing as frequently as I'd like to. I have resigned as wikibrarian for Twisted Nether but that doesn't mean I will not continue to work with them. Hopefully I will be able to pick up something else. That just didn't seem to be working. By the time I got to it Rio had them done. So I didn't feel like I was contributing very much.

I have been trying to work on a new banner for this site but have not been able to create anything I like. I am not the most savvy with computer artwork or graphics. I just don't do it that often.

In game is going ok. I have been so crazy at work the last few months that I have not been spending any quality WoW time during the week. Being a weekend warrior is just not good enough for me. I have been trying to figure out ways to make it easier to get on more. I hope that now the new year has begun, and I have gotten caught up at work, that the brain fry I have been experiencing will cease, and I will want to do something besides stare at the TV and eat when I come home from work. We shall see.

Dailies suck. I think I will expound on that in another post. They wear me out. 

We are not raiding. We lost a couple of raiders in November and they all happen to be healers. We are currently recruiting for 2 healer spots if anyone is interested. Not that there is a ton of people reading this to make a difference.

I created a guild website for my guild that no one is going to. That is fun. I have been trying to make it more fun to try out but it's not working. Any suggestions are awesome. Honestly I didn't expect much. We had a website before that was hardly visited. Now with the in-game calendar,  events, and recruiting there is really no reason for a website. We have a facebook page so I thought perhaps this would be a good alternative to that. Where people could leave posts and messages. Facebook is so convenient that I don't think this will take really. I'm not paying for it so that's ok.

That's about it. Rather hum drum ho hum right now. Which I find a bit frustrating.

There is good news here. I have had several friends return to the game around Christmas time, and a few new friends join the game. I'm very excited and happy to see them return. One of them is the woman who got me started playing. I'm excited to be able to spend some time in game with them. We all rolled Panda's last week and are playing once or twice a week together. This is my roll playing gang also so it's like an additional game night for us. We all hop on vent and yell at the new people to keep up lol.

I have plans to get this site a little more spruced up if I can find the time to spend with Gimp and learn more better (yes that is a word...more better) how to use it. /fingers crossed
I also owe ElJeppy a review about the new keyboard...oh new! Wait, I have a bunch of new stuff. New keyboard, new computer and new headset. Very exciting. I can now get more than 4 fps!! woot!

All righty that's it for today. I need to go play now. :)  Happy New Year!
