Random Drop - Reading Up on Jane Austen

Hello there,
So here we are. It's been too long. In an effort to get my house on the market I have been spending a lot of time cleaning. Between that and work there has not been a lot of time for blogging. There has been a good deal of time for reading in between these hectic days. I found my stash of Jane Austen books while packing and have been re-reading them. Oh the joy of books! Jane Austen is rather easy and innocuous. It doesn't take any of my much needed daytime brain power to get through and they are rather enjoyable stories. At least to girls.

But what does this have to do with WoW you might ask? Nothing at all :p, I was just sharing.:)

Ok so the latest WoW stuff...hmmm.
We're raiding very well. For going one day a week we are getting down 3-4 bosses, not the fastest but not bad either. We are adding another day in the near future.

The new LFG (looking for guild) feature is good and bad. I like that so many people are interested in our guild, but it is a pain to sift through. People write the craziest things on applications and we don't even consider anyone unless they put in some comment. With all the influx of new guildies, guild drama has again raised it's ugly head. I am seriously considering a moratorium on new recruits until this batch settles down.

The new ZA/ZG dungeons are fun and a bit complex. I have had too many PUG wipes on them already and I'm not playing a lot. Hmm...that's not so good. The loot that is dropping is 353-359 purple and is very decent. It is good for filling in those missing epic spots you may have left in your wardrobe if you're not raiding extensively.

There are new cooking and fishing dailies in other cities. If you're bored with doing the standard Orgrimaar/Stormwind ones you can go in search of new. You can only choose one cooking and one fishing of the entire set. Such as, if you do the cooking daily in Darnassus, the other cooking quests will not be available to you. Only one a day regardless of which city you do it in.

BLIZZCON 2011!!  I haz gots tix! Woot! And an awesome plan. A guildie of mine found a ticket to buy also, and he happens to be the one who got me the room last year. I am so excited!!
My travel buddy will be Fimlys from Twisted Nether and my roommate will be a guildie that I get to drag around with me to all the fabulous shin-digs. I am set to go! Just have to finalize the travel arrangements and we're good. I cannot wait!

Wow it's been far too long since I've posted. I have something in the works, but it's going to take more brain power then I can muster at the moment.
RL has taken over and when I'm playing WoW it's to escape. However I am making progress all around so here's the highlights.

KG is now raiding current content and we're very excited. We're moving our raid nights around looking for a better time for more people. So far it is looking good.

Kaiote (boomkin) is now 525 skinning/LW which is nice. Now for pattern collection. Lots and lots o' leather needed.

I have finally completed the goblin starting area. I find it quirky but not as meaningful as the worgen area. The way that the goblins are brought into the fold by Thrall seems contrived. In one respect though it has the same feeling as the worgen area; it's all super tightly packed into 12 levels and it seems to move very fast or skip parts of the story or something. Something is missing it seems.

My troll hunter is 84 now. Eventually she'll make it. It's just tedious bringing up yet another toon through these 5 zones. I already feel like I've done it too many times. Cata zones have worn out their welcome for me already.

I've been playing my BE shadow priest a little too. And, so you all don't think I've gone horde or something, my human hunter as well. I am contemplating a dwarf shammy, it's still turning around in the back of my mind.

OK, that's the scoop. I hope to be back to normal in a few months so please don't unsubscribe to me if you can wait it out.

I feel like writing today but about nothing in particular. So here is the Saturday random drop? lol

Got my druid to 85 and was really excited to take her to Tol Barad. She is a leatherworker and those crocs have just been calling my name. It was a blast but boy I need better gear. She is currently ilevel 308, so we have a little to go yet before heroics. She's about half way through Uldum with only Twilight Highlands left to go after. Then the dailies will strike and we'll see how long I will keep up with her.

My DK, who hit 85 a while ago, is still sitting. So I guess the love has worn off for that one. I enjoyed the leveling and mining for volatiles but almost as soon as she hit 85 I quit logging in. I am so fickle.
