Wii-men (Women)

So apparently this Sunday, certain Best Buys will be hosting this “Wii For Women” event. I guess they are trying to appeal to the female gaming community or maybe just trying to gather more females to spend money on their overpriced games? I dunno. But, despite the fact that I don’t really like Best Buy, it sounds like fun. It sounds like a neato idea *shrug* I don’t know if the one near us is doing it or not. I should look into that =)

If any of you gals end up going to one, please let me know what it was like and how it was ;)

Do you ever start doing something in the game and you just really get in the groove and completely lose track of time? Today I was lying on my bed with my lap top on my tummy farming herbs while watching some much missed digital cable haha. Since I’ve gotten my epic mount on Amedeah (the Horde Priest) farming has become oh-so-easy and I don’t mind it so much anymore. So today I went out and decided to start from Hellfire and work my way to Terokkar, then to Zangar, then to BEM and finally over to Netherstorm. I filled 2 20 slot herb bags JAM PACKED FULL of herbs and motes lol. I didn’t expect to gather that many, quite honestly.

I had been waiting until 3pm to call my admissions advisor at OCA (Orlando Culinary Academy) to reschedule my appointment. I was almost back around to Area 52 when all the sudden I shot up like a bullet and said (in a rather loud voice), “OH FUCK ME!!!!! WHAT TIME IS IT!!!???!!!” Yeeeaaaaaah, my dog barked at me, which totally made me laugh, actually, out loud. He looked concerned for a moment before laying is 15lb head back down on the bed. With the appointment rescheduled, I went back on my merry way gathering more herbs lol.

It kinda pisses me that I’ve still only made ONE friggin’ discovery in Alchemy. I mean COME ON! I’ve made THOUSANDS of potions… I so totally lost count, it’s not even funny. And I’ve made ONE freaking discovery. I think Blizz secretly hates me… bastards. Anyway…

I felt the urge to blog about… “something,” so I did and there it is. Good night.

5 Man Fun

Patch 2.4 is live and I’ve been having “fun” in the Magister’s Terrace. On patch day, we (Rob, Matt, Tony and myself) found a rogue to group up with and take a chance at the new 5 man instance on the Isle of Quel’Danas. We did relatively well for never stepping foot in there before. We got up to the first boss with no deaths (easy feat) and we had cleared the first room and were all staring Selin Fireheart in the face. We were all set to go, the tank charged in… and I got locked out of the room haha. I had no idea that we all needed to be in the room. Yes, I know, I’m a nub *hangs head in shame* They at least got him down to 15% without me in there haha, I was impressed =) I rezzed everyone up and we down him with no problems. We got to Vexallus and lost one person, but otherwise it  was a good fight. We moved into the next rooms to start clearing to Priestess Delrissa. Then a Server Restart was announced. We were able to clear up into Delrissa’s room but ended up wiping right before the restart. We agreed to just end it and try the next day.

I had a few mixed groups here and there that tried to clear the place but I had zero luck with that. We always got stuck on Vex cause he’s a douche bag. All my groups ended there. I was always dying because of that stupid dot that gets put on you. I still haven’t figured out how that fight works. But last night we ended up kicking his ass anyway and moving on… finally. With thanks to Lanfearr, Phian and Peiyotee, Rob and I were finally able to get the head of Kael’thas Sunstrider to unlock Heroic mode! I also got the Cord of Reconstruction. Which is AWESOME since I was still wearing some crappy green, I was so embarassed to still ahve that stupid belt. Woot! Thanks a mil guys (and gal)! I’m so happy to finally have that done lol. Now I suppose it’s time to work on the new dailies. *sigh*

So today is the big 2.4 patch that we have all been waiting for. I’m rather excited. I’ll be logging on to my Priest to head over to the new quest hub. I plan on making the trip with Rob (who is working from home today) and our good friend Matt. Hopefully it’s all it’s cracked up to be. We might try to get a group together for the new 5 man as well; we’ll see how that pans out.

My rogue hit 61 like 2 nights ago. I moved into Zangar Marsh woot! The hubby’s been doing a good job at keeping up with me haha. I still haven’t really learned how to play a Rogue in an instance. So I need to get some experience under my belt. I mean I get the gist and all that. Shoulnd’t be too hard.

In other non-WoW related news, I’m going back to school in May and I’m so fucking excited I can’t even think about anything else haha. I decided to go to culinary school for the Baking and Patisserie program at Orlando Culinary Academy. I start May 19. I went to financial aid workshop thingy last night to get some initial paperwork done. We’re gonna be paying outta pocket for some of the stuff, but that’s ok, what are rich husbands for *winks*

Anywho, I just wanted to drop a quick line. I really should update more often. I’ll kick myself later for it ;) Cheers!

So I saw this at Best Buy…

Rob and I were walking through Best Buy while looking for a Blue Ray player and I came across this.

 

 

I couldn’t help but giggle. I mean, hey, that’s great that they are helping Alzheimer’s patients and stuff, but it’s still funny. It’s very clever though. Two thumbs way way up for SanDisk!

Limeonade hit 50 a couple days ago. I’m rather happy with the way I’m progressing. I went from 40 to 50 in about a week. Her Leather Working is at 250, Lock Picking at 170, Skinning at 300 (duh). Her gear is pretty decent. Mostly crafted stuff with a few drops/purchased items. That’s not bad considering all the stuff that’s been going on around here. A friend of mine moved in with us and is staying the guest room. We rearranged the whole house to make room *shrug* I love having her here though *winks*

Anywho, so I’m in this guild that is made up of people that my hubby works with (among a couple other random people we picked up along the way) and our friend Matt (from Turalyon). There is hardly ever more than 5 people on at a time. But I do like that everyone knows everyone on a first name basis and that we all get along rather well. It just makes me wonder what’s gonna happen when we all hit 70 and are ready for Kara… what are we gonna do then? I dunno about that yet.

So since I’m only at 170 Lock Picking and I should be at 225 for my level, I’ve been running around trying to gather Worn Lockboxes and finding footlockers to have my way with haha. I’ve got a bank FULL of Sturdy Lockboxes and those should get me to at least 225… if not 250. I’ve also gotta gather some more Rugged Leather to make a few things to lvl up to 265 so that I can make myself some more armor I’m in need of some upgrades.

I absolutely LOVE having Riposte and Blad Blury. I don’t know I ever lived without it! I recently respecc’d so that I could have them. I gotta tell ya, Blade Flury has totally saved my life quite a few times. Just awesome, AWESOME!

I’m gonna need to use Rob’s pally to mine for ore so that I can make some money from the AH. I am in DIRE need of gold like whoa! I need new weapons and training is getting expensive and I’ve got like… 10g on me right now =( How horrible is that? Pretty horrible, I say. So horray for farming, grinding and leveling shit. Woot.

Oh in other, totally non-related news, I got a French manicure today and I got my toes painted this bold, bright blue that matches the ball in my labret *cheers* Yay for pretty fingers and toes!! Huzzah!

Ok, that’s all *giggles*
