Ramble Pox

By
Green Pox plays tonight as far as I know. Our plan is to start on SM, do the graveyard and see how it goes. Fortunately for horde Scarlet M. is an easy walk. No overly long flights to crazy far away places. I'm really looking forwards to it.

Last night I meant to play my shaman but really I don't think I will be able to play him until wulfa is able/willing to play Beowulfa. I just really don't like leveling by myself while my wife and brothers are playing at the same time on a different server. So I instead spent the evening getting from level 15 to level 18 on Dampanza. Only two more levels to cat form. Yay!

I hear people saying in my reader feed how 'old' wow's graphics are and they compare the graphics with new games coming out. I want to laugh. WoW's graphics even on my comp with all off the settings turned all the way down(even after the video card) are still better than any of the screen shots I've seen for AoC. I'm serious. I really think that the unique art and the change from 'realistic' makes a huge difference. (ps. I'm not trying to say that AoC's graphics aren't technically better.... I just like WoW's look better)

Also I like what Rohan mentioned about this. I think I will always chose "100% of older graphics". So in 15 years when I have a comp that can actually run WoW at 100% like Dagashai has.... I'll most likely still be found trying to get to 70 for the first time and enjoying the simple but clear graphics.

I've added my shared items from my reader to my blog and I will be trying to 'share' anything and everything I enjoyed more than normal.

You will likely see a lot of XKCD.

Oh and I wanted to give a large shout out to the baby brother of mine. He recently started his very own blog at http://ishvi.blogspot.com/. This is the brother who has a level 68 paladin named .... tada Ishvi.... in Sidhe Devils. This is also the brother who insinuated that Orclette might not be cute/smart. AND the brother who said that Wulfa wasn't hot because she was married. We had a lot of fun with that last silly statement last night...as he kept digging deeper and deeper trying futilely to defend his statement to the various married guys who wanted to know why he was saying their Lady wasn't hot. I'm teasing. He's cool and an up and coming blogger/paladin tank.

Well guys I think thats it. I've got to get back to work and I've run out of things to say.

Ps.
Dumbbrother = Ishvi
Uglybrother = Moonsongdown

My third brother doesn't play wow so we don't have a disparaging name for him currently.

The Cat is Out of the Bag

I wonder where that expression comes from? There is this fabulous book that can tell you, only I forgot the name of it. Next time I come across it I think I'm going to have to buy it. Anyway. I was going to wait. A long time. Maybe forever. I don't like people coming up and hugging me, smiling and saying congratulations, or asking me questions. But Damm was talking to his recruiter about insurance. And he mentioned something that he should've told the recruiter was non-repeatable, because 5 minutes later the recruiter told Damm's mother (I have no earthly idea why he's talking to her-I keep forgetting to ask). After that I had to tell my mother. We haven't told any extended family members because there are quite a few here celebrating Damm's mother's graduation and that would be the worst form of torture I can imagine. So yeah, I'm knocked up again :P And this time I'm getting the t-shirt. "It" is due August 11. I have not been to a doc...

Werewolves are always better.

The question answering post will come tomorrow. Sunday was too busy. I just finished reading Twilight and New Moon . When I first started Twilight I wasn't impressed, it seemed slow and bleh and very teen dating girl story. Last night I got home at about midnight... I picked up New Moon. I was only going to read the ending to the scene that starts in the back of Twilight.... I didn't get much sleep last night(due to finishing New Moon). I'm loving the series. Although, wow these vamps scare me. Why? Because they are harder to kill. After reading the first book I spent 20 min thinking of counters. For a counter to be valid it has to be balanced. I can't just say "I'm superman and Vampires are deathly allergic to me and I heal like wolverine and have a robot army." (although when I ran into the aliens from Alien/Aliens/AvP for the first time, my counter at the time was almost exactly that.) I came up with the Dancer. He's a completely normal ...

There be too much history.

By
For the past couple of weeks Damm and I have been faithfully spending an hour each day working on our respective summer projects-he on his writing and me on Spanish and history. I had previously mentioned wanting to create some sort of series that I’d work on throughout the summer. I did a bit of brainstorming and decided that I should write essays on bits of fun and fascinating history. Then I started thinking up topic ideas and realized that I didn’t have enough time to randomly pick subjects, research them, and then write entertainingly. So I decided to pick one area of focus. It came down to either Modern Russia or the Civil War Era, since these are the two history courses I’ll be taking in the fall. I chose the Civil War. And even then I have not narrowed my focus enough. The essays one could write on the American Civil War … the possibilities are endless. And so I’m in the process of redefining what I will write/research. I’m in the midst of gathering info for a...
