Two, and three.

I finally got rid of the last vestments of +str gear. I trade it all out for +int or +agi gear in preperation for the patch. Right now I'm sitting on +733 AP unbuffed. After patch I -believe- it will be over 1k AP. My crit dropped below 20% sadly to something like 19.66. That will be remedied when I find some better gear. My hps are still hovering at 6k...I believe its actually 5990 right now unbuffed, this too I want to work on but nothing has shown up and dropped into my lap. Well thats it for updates. Today was one of the best days I've had in recent months. Me and wulfa had a blast out on the town :P. Even the Orclette had fun. But that is all Wulfa's story.

I found THE perfect shoes today. At Walmart, no less. They were black with kitten heels. I never find kitten heels. I can only wear kitten heals-anything higher and the muscles in my calves that tore years ago because I decided to become the next Guiness Record holder for jump roping start hurting again. I fit into a size 7 1/2 in all the shoes surrounding the kitten heels. In the kitten heels, however, I am a size 7. Guess which size they didn't have? I even asked an employee and was brusquely told that no, I was plumb out of luck. /cry. That wasn't the only blargy thing to happen today. I've been back and forth with my manager trying to get transferred to the Las Cruces store. Soooo, I called the NM store. Asked if "Bob" was there. I was told, "No, he won't be in until later today." BIG PAUSE. Followed by more silence. "Well, what exact time will "Bob" be in?" "Oh, he should be in sometime after 1ish." Joseph Mary and...

I didn't do this one but its awesome. Thanks Phin . She sent this via email to us like 100000 weeks ago. And then asked if we wanted to give her our address so that she could mail it to us. And did I respond? Um... I meant to I really did. Instead poor Phin got left out in the cold for YEARS as myself kept forgetting to respond. So this is me making up for that.

On a computer I suck even worse at drawing than I do on a pad of paper. This turned out way better than I expected though, despite the simplicity of the concept. So I figured I would share it. I am always frustrated at how unclear my mind paints things. If I want to describe a scene that seems so clear as soon as I start I realize I'm missing all of the details. It is like everything I imagine is just out of the corner of my eye. Below is my first computerized attempt at a crane. I really would like to come up with something more shape based and less like an actual drawing. Something more like a geometric representation of one. Kind of like Pratchet's description of a line drawing that captures the essence of a horse, even if the shape is off.

Okay... where to start.... HOLY CRAP I LIKE IT ALL hmm maybe that wasn't the best place. NO SERIOUSLY ITS SO SHINY Wow...way to be objective there. Okay I give up...objectivity out of the window... pure emotional response now: ======================================= I'm excited about how there is more synergy now between Ele and Enh. Although right now I'm not certain I'll be spending any points over there just yet. For my purely leveling spec there isn't enough yummy. Lava lash.... mmmmmmm. Yeah noobed I agree, "they" really want you to off hand flamestrike. I like having a USE for ancestral knowledge. Even if right now it only means a cruddy 10 more AP(I'm presuming I'll be picking up mental dexterity). +110 AP from 8 talents is crappy, but if I have more int(and I will) then I can see this being awesome. Anyone able to tell me how much AP I get from AGI now in beta? Maelstrom weapon looks awesome for raiding. Still debating it. Right now ...

Wulfa took me out on a baby-date(a date where the kids come along due to no sitter on short notice). It was incredibly nice. We chatted and relaxed and had fun. We need to do that more often. With the move coming up we're both starting to stress. She's worried about making friends and getting along with my folks and I'm worried about making friends, wulfa being happy, getting everything down there and we're both worried about money, school, the drive, and packing. So it was nice to take an evening and -really- forget about everything else. As opposed to ignoring everything else and still stressing about it. Like when you blow of a test to play a game. Or when you don't do your taxes and instead read a book. The entire time you are subconciously thinking about the thing you are ignoring. Last night's date I don't think either of us did that. I felt like we both actually relaxed. So I need the pvp trinket badly! A rogue: Gonaga or somesuch on Ligh...

Alrighty, Majors first: Windfury weapon Flame shock Frost shock Then: Renewed Life Water shield Ghost wolf Of course this is only for Enhancement, and Dammerung. In other news, my dear little allied shaman is going to be getting a lot of love when I'm on alliance. Dang I missed my shaman.

So this weekend Damm got the urge to play his horde shammy again. I, being the loving and generous person that I am, transferred his character over to his new guild and decided to come along as well, since he's followed me to numerous different realms/guilds. I think it was a good decision-Herk's guild was overwhelmingly friendly and generous and fun to chat with. So, what does this mean? Other than that Dogs of War is an awesome guild name? And why am I writing about it? As for the latter, I'm explaining because I worry . I worry that the Sidhe Devils will read that I brought my horde character out of retirement and think I don't love them. I worry that Herk and his guild will feel slighted that I don't consider my horde hunter my main (I'm not sure why I worry about that, but I do). I worried so much this morning that in my already stressed out, wanting to hide from the world state I nearly drove myself to tears. This obviously is an overreaction, but there it...
