Two, and three.

Druid solo is more fun then I expected so far. I'm still a little put off by the slowness that is bear killing speed but cat should fix that. I'm disapointed in how this week went exercise wise. I didn't walk almost at all and I didn't lift weights. However I'm still on track to have lost half a pound if I don't do anything tomorrow to suddenly up my average. In the past 4 weeks my average weight for the week has been as follows: 197.2857143 196.8857143 196.2571429 195.8666667(this week). This weight is in pounds. We weigh ourselves every morning monday-sunday and calculate the average. My original goal was to lose a pound a week. I'm not hitting that. But I am losing almost exactly half a pound a week. Now I don't really care about my weight. I'm not an athletic person...I'd rather be thin and bellyless sure but I've never been too motivated to change anything. However keeping up with it on a constant basis ha...

So many projects so little time. My little hunter now has 249 agi unbuffed and the survival instant cast sleep. I love that spell, 12 seconds of lemme alone followed by a nice 300 poison. My Earthen Triad Shaman is 61 and is rocking the house. My level 20 Sidhe Devils Shaman is level 20 and driving me batty. She's getting parked. My Pox Arcanum Druid is level 28 and starting to be awesome. Awesome. Just Awesome. The FPS change of actually getting a video card(Radeon 9200 128mb) has been huge. My level 8? 9? Sidhe Devils Mage for pvp purposes is stalled. Just not enough time to play her. My level 40? 42? Orc Warlock is on a pvp server and looks UGLY. Most of my projects are me trying to find a toon I -like- playing on alliance side. The hunter levels crazy fast and kills things but fights are 90% autoshot for me because even with just auto shot I can pull hate right off my cat. I crit a lot...it seems like way more than 20% and my crits cause my damage to go from 80ish ...

So last night was possibly one of the funnest nights I've ever had in WOW. Let me 'splain. Logged on to do my auctions. Turns out Nas and Squirrelz were about to run Ishi the Squishie through the Underbog and asked if I wanted to come along. I asked Dammy with pleading eyes and he very graciously agreed to put Orclette to bed (this is still not an enviable job as she usually does not think sleep is a good thing). So we go through, Rysteranch providing additional DPS, and everything was downed pretty quickly. But I'm sure everyone here knows far more about all the instances in the game than I do. I just don't pay attention to that stuff. It's not what makes the game interesting. I like the people. And the peeps were fun. Although I've never partied with Squirrelz, Nas, and Dax before so I felt like I was in an interview (this being The Thing That Scares Me Most) the entire time-not their fault, you understand, it just is what it is. So I spent most of the time do...

So, a long while back I promised photos of my Orclette and of my awesome Hunter T-shirt. They are finally here. A view from the front. Isn't it pretty? And a close-up. This is what is emblazoned on my butt. And though I didn't model the t-shirt because I never like photos of me, here is a photo that I love. The dudes holding me are my brothers. And the grand finale, my Orclette. Isn't she cute?

When I absolutely have to I can make my point very succinctly. But I'm a chatty-kathy and this is my blog so you're going to hear the long, round-about explanation of my announcement. I've always had a bathroom scale. I like to weigh myself everyday. And when I got married I was around 135 pds. Got pregnant and was paranoid about every pound gained and freaking out that I would never be my regular size again. I needn't have worried since I dropped 30 pounds in the first 2 weeks. But I've not fit into the same size clothing because as you moms out there know the scale might say good things but your butt just doesn't fit into your jeans. So I've been recording my weight again (I stopped during pregnancy because it was just too painful) and the weight has been slowly coming off. Then Dammy decided he wanted to lose a few pounds since he gained the "I just got married" poundage and "my wife is eating for 2 and I am too!" poundage. BTW, he...

I played my Shaman monday night. I enjoyed myself quite a lot. Dinged 61. We re-arranged our Study and well...everything is much nicer now. I like the way the house is laid out. Orclette likes playing swirl the curtain. She holds the edge and pulls it back and forth while stairup up at the top. I'm pondering what I want to play tonight. Whether to spend more time on my Horde Shaman or to work on a Sidhe Devils toon. I love the Sidhe Devils but I feel like I have too many alts there and like I cannot keep focused. Two weeks ago I was complaining I was bored with my hunter now I'm wishing I had never made any alts. /sigh. Not sure.* Partly I was reading BBB's site and pondering what it was I enjoyed about WoW. I came up with a bunch of things. I like making my characters look cool. If I level and suddenly my new gear makes me look ugly then I either want to speed level past it or stop playing and just wear my old gear. I'm very very vain about how my toons l...

Warships in space. Space pirates and super-enhanced imperial commandos(aka Ninja). Magic/Political settings that are based on colors/symbols/houses. Moon/Sun. Black/White. Order/Chaos. House Tannon/House Verces. Societies fictional or non-fictional where everything you do or say has double/triple meanings and every day actions are bound up in endless ritual. Lizardfolk. Ratfolk. But not Catfolk or Fishfolk. Runes. Particularly glowing ones. That are also tattoos. Also, circuits imbedded in skin. Societies where loyalty to clan/family/leader is the highest virtue. Where the goodguy wins by being loyal in an innovative way. Stories where everyone involved has a nickname. ie: Strings, Fiddler, Smiles, Bell, Bent, Blend, Hedge, Kindly, Limp, Mallet, etc. Dots and Hots. Nuff said. Rocks. Wind and rocks. Dry places. Shaded dry places. Like old mines. In the desert.

Two words: Child's Pose. If you don't know what that is, you should.

The Gist of the Thing . I completed a marathon session of World of Warcrafting and got Wulfa from being barely lvl 63 with no rested xp to lvl 64 all in one day. A Disclaimer. I am not a gamer. I have never done all-nighters buoyed by cases of Dr. Pepper and Doritos, like my hubby and his brothers. 2 hours is pretty much my limit unless I'm partying. So even if you saw what I called a "marathon" and scoffed because you do that everyday, to me it was still a HUGE deal. Why Would Someone Run a Marathon? So in RL I've run 2 marathons, 2 halfs, and numerous smaller distances. I became a runner the day my mother chased me around the soccer field because I ran 10 steps and then quit because it was too hard. Since then I've always had some sort of physical challenge looming before me, from playing 5 full-length soccer games and stopping the bruise-counting at 20 because it was too depressing, to winning my age category in my first half marathon, to giving birth to Orclet...
