I can take no credit for the title, that was all my husband. <3 TFG

Its about time for another little World of Warcraft update. And though I have been trying to keep WoW topics from overwhelming the site, I do still spend quite a lot of time playing it still and could go on and on. Thus I am consolidating all my latest news into one post.

Almost forgot to add that the Midsummer World Event began today which is the last world even that my warlock needs to complete the purple drake flying mount achievement.

(more…)

After having finished all the holiday event Achievements with my hunter I swore never to do them again. But the super fast flying mount reward is just so incredibly spectacular that I had get one for my warlock. (I should just ban the word ‘never’ from my vocabulary!)

Which of course means suffering through all the holiday achievements. Thankfully the current one, Noble Garden, is not so bad. It took me only one evening of play. Plus I got to run around as a bunny for most of the evening. Whatever changes they made to this event (I know lots of the holiday achievements got an overhaul at one point or another) worked wonders, because I didn’t finish it seething with anger. Nice change of pace. =)

Somehow I totally missed April Fools this year. Granted its not really a holiday (sort of like Pie Day) but its all in good fun. And fun is after all fun, right? (^_^)
Turns out that I hadn’t really missed all that much. Then again I’m a day late so maybe I missed all the fabulous ones.
Anyway, here are the ones that I think are definitely worth sharing:

-Bungie reveals new turn-based Halo Mulitplayer!!

Its amazing to see what incredible work Ada Lovelace actually did. Imagine all the struggles she must have endured to even be heard. Imagine if more women had had her opportunities.

Thankfully, women now a days get far more encouragement from society. =)

Dedicating a day to all the women that have made the path into technology easier for each generation to come is a wonderful idea. They should all be celecreated, espcially Ada who as the very first programmer is a littler nearer and dearer to my heart.

Happy Ada Lovelace Day!

It has been pointed out to me that the “weekly wow woes” rants are making it seem like I am not enjoying myself and should probably just quit (WoW).

So I am here to debunk that theory and what better week to do that in then the Valentines World Event Week (or two).

Sure there are things about World of Warcraft that bug the shit out of me, but in the end it comes down to this: I really have a good time playing.

Really if I wasn’t, I wouldn’t be playing anymore. =D

Happy Heart Week. <3

-Exercise more!
Time to dust off that WiiFit and get on it!

It’s here and it’s hopefully planning on staying (at least for a year).

Happy New Year!

We are spending these holidays with the stomach flu at home. I hope you all have a much less puke filled time off.
