Shinies?

Tell me if you get the joke. Same story here. This enormous cloud was over the the mountains and the moon was peeking from over it and it changed a bit when I was able to get my camera out and my camera is a crappy phone but lemme tell you it was about three times more amazing than this.

A new menace.

Just a side note: there is something incredibly beautiful watching a steaming cup of coffee. Not to mention the glorious smell. Ok. We have a new menace. It's black with a little red hourglass on the back. That's right-black widows! We found the first ones in the garage, which is understandable because we weren't careful boxing up everything and there were plenty of places to hide. But then we found one out on our deck. And another one on our porch (I almost stepped in it). And then we cleaned out the kids play equipment, which had been left to fend for itself after we declared the backyard off-limits after momma nearly stepped into the spider. We brushed it off, sprayed it with bug spray, left it for a while. Damm and the kids went out to play later, and as the Orclette gets off her tricycle to head inside, a black widow crawls out of the foot pedal (it's a plastic Dora tricycle, not a metal one). That was all sorts of creepy. And before you ask, yes, they are black wi...

Hey I learned something new.

After years of being immersed in the fitness and nutrition world, after years of battling body image and eating disorders, after years of fighting an OCD mentality, and after a few years of relatively normal behavior, I found out something really cool this morning. I am a mesomorph. A body type to be envied. I never knew that. I had heard of the three body types: ectomorph, the thin, tall person who never seems to gain weight; the endomorph, the person who gains muscle quite easily and is big-boned but also gains fat by looking at food; and then there's me, the mesomorph, who has an athletic build, easily gains muscle and just as easily loses excess fat. Every article I read proclaimed the greatness of the mesomorph. I had never done much research into this subject, apparently. Or I classified myself as an endomorph, thinking that mesomorphic awesomeness was too good for me (hey, eating disorders can do that to one's psyche). It's just really cool to hear I actually have so...

The self proclaimed pirate and the head bob dance.

She was dancing around saying "I'm a pirate I'm a pirate." His head bobs were so serious I had to stop right after taking the picture and put him to bed. Poor bugger.

Druid

So I got my homework moderately under control and was able to play with the Wulfa last night. Found out that my guildies are absolute raiding BEASTS as they rofl stomped bits of ICC while I watched in awe and while wulfa was busy running back and forth keeping miniorc asleep. So now that we've been playing again I've done 17 battlegrounds on my druid. 2-15 is my record. I gained about 250 honor in two games... and about 250 honor in fifteen games... feel free to speculate which were which. Part of that is the losing games were lost so badly that they were over in easily a quarter of the time that the winning games were played. Part of that is my life span as a healer is higher than that as a dps.... usually because I'm either the only healer or one of two healers so when I'm dps there simply isn't anyone healing me because I'm not there as a healer. Healing as druid has a lot of fun now(still), let me say that first. I'm back healing again and mostly l...

Timing is everything.

The patch hitting in the middle of the semester is driving me bonkers. I want nothing more than to log in and play all night but I can't. Initial impressions though from me go like this: HOLY CRAP THIS IS AWESOME FUN. I love new changes to things. Goods: Paladin retribution was the only class I had a chance to really experiment with but I like the changes(in terms of how they play not in terms of over all dps... I'm not really a cutting edge dps person so I can't comment on lower dps totals for guys who were doing nuts things). Haven't touched my hunter yet but being able to track two things at once and no ammo sounds awesome. My mage having a squiggly made me estatic(water elemental) as thats why I created a mage in the first place. My druid ... well I'm hearing all sorts of cool things from Malcik so this gets a plus. I never really really liked the tree form's art but liked being in tree form so I'm kinda meh on that side. The cat changes he described ...
