Two, and three.

Fishing 125 yay. Cooking 132? Starting to get close to my level cap for these and am worried because I cannot find anyone to train me in expert cooking or fishing. Someone said that someone told them that a book in Booty Bay could teach you. Although how a book is going to show you how to fish I do not know. Seems like books would avoid water. Some things I hate about being on a pvp server.... hilsbrad is full of angry upset alliance people. and I value my greenish-blue booty too much to wander over there just for the fish I desperately want. Thats right. I want sagefish. And the only place I know of to find them is hilsbrad's river. I do listen. I swear. Ratshag says stay 2handed, because it does more damage. And I'm back to using my ugly staff of WHOMPING. Someone else says stay enhancement because it makes leveling easier... this I disagree with. I think that newbie shamans should go elemental until level 30(when you get windfury weapon prot). At 30 I w...

Ding 24! Still haven't respecced elemental, but I have regeared towards castery. And it is helping. I have more than 1200 mana now which makes me a happy Dammerung. I'm really really really tempted to respec. All in all it will mean more casting/faster, with slightly less melee damage(right now all I'm really getting from enhance is the crit%). I hate slow 2handed weapons right now for some reason. I desperately would like to have a nice dagger but spending to get one that would get close to the 20 dps that my staff has is out of the question. Finishing up the barrens green quests got me to 24. I think I'm going to continue like that... doing green quests. Its fast, its easy, and as long as I kill everything in my path while doing the quest its like I'm grinding but I get the occasional extra xp from the quest. Tried doing Ragefire Chasm solo last night. Its doable but because they are elites the mobs are entirely not worth it. Hard for me to think right now....

A [grasshopper] drops. And:

So when I log in. I can actually see things. Before I'm on top of them. Step by step I turn up the graphics and it still runs smoothly. This is a huge difference from before when I had to turn off EVERYTHING to handle barrens lag. And where I would avoid all larger cities all together because I did not dare risk the lag. Thanksgiving has been great. My parents got to spend a lot of time with Orclette and I was able to sit down and just hold Beowulfa and watch as everyone came to our house for the meal. I think all and all it was a success. Everyone was happy and had a chance to talk with everyone else. Which is good. Hosting thanksgiving for the first time I guess is comparable to leading a raid for the first time. Lots of frantic and a lot of hoping everything goes smoothly and you don't accidently agro a relative. I.... love.... typing.... on.... this... I love it. It is so easy so smooth so shiny so fast. LOVE. Beowulfa you rock. mfd.

So PrettyOrc is horrible about keeping secrets... because she hates doing so. So right after she bought my christmas/birthday/thanksgiving/anniversery present I found out about it. I now own a new little thinbook mac. Model Name: Mac Model Identifier: MacBook2,1 Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo Processor Speed: 2.16 GHz Number Of Processors: 1 Total Number Of Cores: 2 L2 Cache (per processor): 4 MB Memory: 2 GB Bus Speed: 667 MHz To say I'm happy is an understatement. Once I get used to the differences in WoW this will be amazingly better than the old horrible laptop I was using before. I will have to find out exactly how bad and slow my other computer was but... ick. I LOVE MY PRETTYORC. This is so much better than the raptor head socks or the puntable gnome that had been mindcontrolled to run back so that you could punt him again. Best Christmas present ever. Very happy mfd.

Happy Thanksgiving from Dammerung and Orclette!

So thanksgiving cooking has started now. PrettyOrc and Orclette's Grandma are splitting the kitchen duties and I'm handling Orclette agro atm. In general its been awesome to see my parents again. And Orclette has been complete enthralled with the attention she is getting. Posts will be short and sweet for the next couple days. mfd out.
