After a bit of looking around for hotel deals, I got the urge to maybe spiff up the site. Considering Wow is pretty much all I blog about, I am thinking maybe a nice Warcraft theme. Assuming I can find one of course. I think I have actually tried a couple before and wasnt all that impressed, but maybe some new ones have been made.

After 22 hours of dragging the 2 new lowbie characters along with my druid through instances, I started to get a little irritated at how hard it was to get my partner in this to even log on. My friends had already reached 40 on their second set of new recruits, and I was doing good to even get mine on to loot for me, and considering we were nearing the questing part of things I decided it was no longer worth my time if noone was going to help. I thought the whole plan was to knock it out asap and possibly catch some of the next av weekend, maybe have enough time to try out some Callaway golf clubs . Ah well. The mage was pretty fun of what I got to play of it, but screw all that. If I want to cast stuff I’ll just pay the 50g and spec balance for a while. Maybe one day I’ll dust Delucia off and finish him, but I have enough trouble managing one char.

So Wow launched this new promotion to get new people to try out the game, and is allowing current players to “Recruit” the new players and receive perks for doing so. Not only do you get to summon each other once per hour, but you get 3X the experience gain. I really don’t see anyone using this promotion to finally talk their friends into playing. Everyone is already playing, and those who arent probly wont be swayed by faster xp gain. Instead I am seeing a lot of people doing what my friends and I have done. Purchasing the extra account and linking it to your current one, and powerleveling through the game at record time. My friends Jeff and Andy pulled off 1-60 in just a few days of playing 2-3 hours a day. Not bad at all. Tyler and I have decided to do the same, so instead of my constant bitch fest about my Druid, I am grinding out a mage. It’s not that I havent enjoyed my druid, but if i had known from the start that I would wind up healing there is no way I’d have gone to 70. I play wow to kill people, not heal them. Melting face on a mage looks fun as hell. I say its money well spent. It’s not like we are saving up for any Caribbean cruises or anything.

Our little girl has finally started to say a few more words, and it is the cutest thing ever. Especially when she says “Cracker”. It’s crazy how fast she is growing. We are so excited that she is making progress in her speach. Gavin took much longer to start talking, and continues to struggle with his comprehension, tho he is still improving too. We were surprised that even some harder words we tried to get her to say as a joke, she actually came pretty close to saying. Tho our fun was soon ruined when they came to clean the patios and we had to break out the patio furniture covers.

Me and Jen are both rocking a blackberry 8800 now, and I must say it is easily the best phone I have owned so far. Considering how many handhelds and PDAs I have owned, that means quite a lot. The only thing it is missing is a camera, but i NEVER take pics. I love the keys, the bright screen, and all the other great stuff that comes with owning a blackberry. I don’t see me switching phones for a while, and when I do it will probly just be to another 8800.

I still have not gotten the issues with my life insurance and junk corrected at work. It should not be this hard. I am starting to think they are purposefully making it more difficult than it should be. I need to get a life insurance quote from somewhere else, and just tell them to shove it. Every time I try to call them they are closed. I swear they have the most jacked up hours I’ve ever seen. That crap should be 24 hours. I’m sure its just a couple of foreigners in a room with some phones and a crappy dell computer.

Chewie is doing really well after his neuter and declaw, and is back to bouncing around the house again. I have never been much of a cat person, and always preferred dogs, but he has really grown on me. He is a lot like a little dog. He follows us around everywhere, and is always nearby. My biggest problem with cats has always been the scratching, but we don’t have to worry about that now. We kept his back claws tho, as there really is no need to remove those. I still miss Naobi, but having the little furball bouncing around is really nice. We just need to find the correct bathroom lighting for him in his office.

I am so sick of going back and forth between Feral and Resto. I just cant make a concrete decision either way. It’s no secret that feral sucks in arena, and is probly the least represented in 2v2, but its a lot of fun. Resto is probly the most OP you can get for 2’s, but I don’t know if its my awful gear or if I’m just feral at hear, but it just isn’t all that fun. Staying feral pretty much means I have very little chance of getting my arena gear before the expansion, and going Resto will mean I have to spend another billion hours grinding gear in the BG’s. I would probly enjoy resto more once i have some gear and can stay alive longer. Sometimes I wish I’d just made a rogue, named Britax. Shadowstep ftw.

After an embarrassingly bad night of 2v2, I logged in Saturday to see Tyler already online. He messaged me and asked if I wanted to go a few rounds. I figured he had to be joking after Friday night. The more I talked to him, the less it seemed like Tyler, so I gave him a call and found out that he was out to eat somewhere. Oh boy. I broke the news to him that someone was on his account, and immediately assumed it was from the phony beta page he had been to. I logged in and changed his password, and went to see what the damage was. It looked as tho the only thing missing was about a thousand gold. Not too bad. I later found after talking to Chip, that this person had run a raid with them on Saturday afternoon before I had gotten off work. Very strange that someone would steal an account, and then not only talk to the persons friends, but even go out and play with them. Maybe its just some loser kid in need of acne creams who was dumb enough to buy a stolen account. I havent logged in yet today so maybe there has been more going on with this.

I have almost farmed enough gold to finally purchase my epic flying mount. I lack just under another thousand gold, which i can hopefully finish tonight. 5k gold in three days is pretty damn good I have to admit, but it was boring as hell. I dunno how the gold farmers do it all day, and for like 10 cents an hour. No thanks. Im pretty confident that I will just be a one char kinda dude, but even if i do work a second toon one day I will either save from lvl1 or not even bother with the epic. With my druid being my main and probly only, I wanted to get ahead and get it out of the way before I am checking out Winter Park real estate in the frozen north come expansion. I guess after this its time to finish off cooking, and fishing. I may work a second profession, but as of right now that just sounds like more work.
