Two, and three.

It should have occurred to me that getting home at 3 a.m. in the morning was not a good idea when you know your daughter will not sleep any later than 8 a.m. The party for Breaking Dawn was fantastic, if noisy, hot, and crowded. I got my copy, which is the most important thing :) I'm not allowed to give out numbers but suffice it so say there were a LOT of people there and a LOT of copies were sold. Dammy took pictures of Orclette right before we headed out-her first photo shoot wearing shoes! and also of me, wearing the only black outfit I had that wasn't too big or didn't make my look like a hooker. When the necessary brainpower becomes available I'll be posting them, since I know many of you only read us for our Orclette :)

Today has been a good day. This morning my weight had finally fallen below the 130-pound mark (125 being my eventual goal). I completed my usual morning round of Netherwing dailies in my hour allotted for it instead of in two days, which is how long it normally takes me. The Orclette smiled when she woke up. We went running and shared our Victory Water when we got back (she sticks out her tongue and laps at the water). Then we went shopping and she was her usual darling self, smiling, waving, and saying "hi" to everyone. When we got back she took a nap with minimal fussing. During that time I hit Revered with Netherwing and found a few Aldor-rep-giving-quests that I had not completed (I'll soon be Revered with them as well). We met Dammy for lunch and because it was a bit later than usual I was ravenous and decided that a burger, fries, and chocolate cake to top it off sounded marvelous (plus I felt thin-not so tomorrow :). Then we get home to discover that the 4th disc i...

Anyone who has a guide to leveling a warrior and warrior talents please please link it for me? No reason...just you know...curious? Certain blogs have indeed been read :P... I just forget links and guides and such... and rather than go searching(cus I'm busy) I mind controlled all of you into giving me handy links for when I get off work. :P Kael'thas with the rest of our toons. So we don't have any money shortages... we don't want to farm. also ...this may not last long... we'll see. But currently my druid simply isn't gaining any ground. So very tempted to name my new warrior: WRKGBLCLDN Also: Thanks a ton for the responses. Oh and now that I've read through someone's archives I'm stupified at why I never did before. Herk, I started reading you early this year I think :P. Oh and Joel, I LOVE how that guy did his research. He's a little more hardcore speed leveling than me, but I love seeing his data. Lei, I'd have to agree.. I use quest...

Dammy and I have tossed around the idea of creating 2 characters and playing only with the other person for some time now. Last night we took the plunge. Dammy has a big, hulking Draenei warrior named Dumas, I have a gorgeous Draenei priest named Woofwoof. Is that not the cutest name ever? I think Dammy pretty much covered everything about our future move. I'm excited-I think it will improve many areas of our life. I get to go back to school (huge big shout of excitement) and NMSU has a music program, so I'm hoping to at least get flute lessons again (Aria demands to be played). We're gonna do like college students and have furniture made of empty boxes and beer cans (just joking, not really :). Actually we're going to be getting rid of a considerable amount of our stuff, and I have been called upon to cut off a part of myself. That's right. Amputation. I can only bring 3 boxes of books. How am I supposed to choose? I have old friends that I go back and visit once a...

So last night in the middle of Y.A.R.R.* I get a tell from Wulfa: "Who is arms and fury?" I was a little surprised that she didn't know about Herk. And his awesomeness. Apparently he had stopped in to say hi. And I missed it. So I told her who he was and went back to healing. But then I thought who else doesn't know.... So for those of you who do not know....here you have a glimpse of Tauren fury: http://armsandfury.blogspot.com/ Oh yeah and he might write about his wife or rl stuff or otherthings or a ren00b but I still mostly think of him as the guy who wiped out all of alliance controlled Ashenvale because someone was ganking his wife's toon . /hero.

Okay. Well enough major check marks have passed that this has become a live and active plan. So we're now announcing it to the world. Wulfa greatly dislikes where we now live, and for me there isn't anything I -like- about it. Neither of us have any strong RL friendships in the area(although we do have some friends who live about an hour(45 miles) northeast of us in the town where Becca works). Due to the Orclette, the communte wasn't possible for me so we moved into the place we currently live(pop 7k). So we've been looking for a new job/home for about a month now. I've sent queries to people my family know in NM and had my Mother send me any information she could find about jobs in the area. The more I looked the more I realized how incredibly lacking my computer skills were. Also the more I realized that my Associates degree wasn't helping a whole lot in my field. Then after a brief talk with my parents the beginning of an idea started to form. An idea that w...

....you achieve your goals. If your -only- goal as a 25 man group is to kill the boss(I doubt this) then yeah it only matters that the boss dies. Usually like Wyn(he? she?) said, you have unstated goals of smooth runs, low stress, fun for everyone, everyone carrying their weight. And every time one of these goals fails....it matters. Nas said she needed more postin. So thats where this ramble grew from. In New Mexico they have Weed burners....as an alternative to weed killing poison. Moar Fire Plz. :P I think this is cool. You know... when you call your dad and say you are tired because you missed 3 hours sleep and had a long day calling people from your cubicle and he says: "Yeah I know how you feel, I just took two kids to a camp hours away and worked at the camp for a week pulling long hours then I drove to the other side of the state and hung out with my friend, then I spent a week pulling 10 hour days chopping down dead trees left by a forest fire and then I woke up at 4am ye...

You know you are a hardcore, bad-to-the-bone runner when you do the following: #1. You buy the two songs TripleB set to the video of downing ZA last night and go for a run to test them out. #2. While you're testing them you conduct the following interview: "Do you have the necessary motivational oomph to help me through 26.2 miles? Will you energize me when it comes time to play you? Will I be able to daydream while you're playing?" #3. You can't find any of your usual running clothes or watch so you throw on a pair of yoga pants, a random shirt that looks like it won't be too hot, grab your cellphone so you have an idea of the time, and you run out the door not really caring what spectacle you are presenting. Both songs passed the interview with flying colors, btw, and yes, I do really sort songs into marathon-goodiness or not-up-to-the-grind categories.

It's not going to get an A here, but just remember, in my head it was worth that much :) So I like to see the damage meters after every run. At first it was because I needed to see that I was actually doing damage, and later on to see if the increases in my gear and also of my familiarity/experience with the instance were upping it. And it was. So really at that point I didn't need to see the damage reports. But I still wanted to know, and I was thinking about why I wanted to know, which got me to thinking about why I've heard/seen other people express dislike for listing the damage meter. And this is where I pull out my soccer analogy, because it really illustrates the point I wanted to make. A soccer team fields 11 players, consisting of a goalkeeper, 4-5 offensive players, and 4-6 defensive players depending on which lineup your coach chooses. The offensive players are typically the ones who score the goals, the defensive ones prevent the ball from reaching their own net...

For those of you who value us only for our Orclette, check out the preceding post :) Orclette pictures! Other very exciting news: "Weird Al" Yankovich was in my store yesterday! AND I wasn't my usual wussy (is that how you spell that?) self but asked for an autograph for my little brother who really likes his music, thereby racking up major sister points. He was very polite and had that nice smile which reaches your eyes and crinkles the edges of them. And if you don't know who I'm talking about, go to iTunes and listen to "White and Nerdy." It's too funny. He basically does parodies of popular songs which frequently are better than the original, imo. This is where I get a wee bit mushy. I was thinking the other day about how my friends and I used to invade the local IHOP or Denny's and have huge gab fests til the wee hours of the night and how I missed doing that. And then I realized that everytime I partied with the Sidhe Devils I was doing jus...

There were more of the never ending requests for pics and then these arrived in the mail from Wulfa's mom. So TADA.
