These Dice Are Pink

Random Wednesday

Last night, we powered through Ice Crown Citadel up to Saurfang.  I think we saw a few pieces of gear that we don’t normally see.  That makes the run worthwhile.  I hate when we run the raid and it’s like, “Someone take the axe.  FOR THE LOVE OF GOD YOU WANT THIS AXE DON’T YOU?”  At this point, nobody needs that axe.  We’re going to have casters carrying around axes.

After the raid, I got my dailies done and had time to role play.  I had a surprising scene on AstralMUX in which things I did not know would happen…well, happened.  As I’m the GM, that’s always a pleasant surprise and I think I caused plenty of trouble with this one.

I really want a chance to level my druid from 79 to 80.  I have a three day weekend, so, I see plenty of opportunity to catch up on the house work and complete this task.

Weekend of XP

This weekend, I played a lot of World of Warcraft.  I leveled my Alliance Fire Mage to 20 and then went on to level my druid to 79 and my Enhancement Shaman to 69.  I like leveling from the fact that I like watching the characters get new skills and how they use them.  I’ve seen the content before, but, I still find it relaxing to sit down and roll through it on someone new.  Even though it’s old, taking a melee instead of a caster can make it feel different and new.  Mewmoo will be my fifth level 80.  I know that sounds crazy, but, leveling fits a certain OCD where you just keep going +1 for a while until you win bacon.  As such, I seem to have a knack for painlessly grinding up characters.

We finally got some binders, so, I can get our magic cards in order.  Eventually, we plan to get two big bookshelves for the bedroom and narrow the books down to the ones we want to keep.  Hopefully, the shelves will also have room for the Magic Card binders as well.  I haven’t delved into organizing them, but, it seems like a good project for quiet TV time before bed.

I am reminded that I need to try to get my Wii back on the network.  We have not used it in ages, but, we pulled it back out and I can’t seem to get it to connect for some reason.  I seem to recall it being a super pain before as well.  Sigh, Wii, sigh.  I’ll have to fuss with it more this week because I am sure there are many cool updates to be had.

This Week in World of Warcraft

The holidays are gone.  I was gone for most of them so I felt like I was playing a bit of catch up when I got back into it.  My hunter has a fair good number of gear upgrades.  I could afford to upgrade my chest piece to T9 from T8, but, I haven’t felt rushed about it.  I’m nearly there, so it’s only a matter of time.  I’m still trying to get the Orca Harpoon from Heroic Halls of Reflection.  I’m starting to believe I can get a better weapon from raiding at this point before I get that drop.  Autoshotmoo has also found 93% of the Inscriptions in the game.  I’m hoping to make that 100% in time for Cataclysm.  Bit by bit, I have been delving into my Exploration achievement and I almost have this one complete.

I started tanking again after a long break since May 2009.  Even in just my T7, it feels like a different game.  Sometimes, I still mess up, but, considering we made it through Regular Halls of Reflection on my level 200 gear…I think it’s not so bad after all.  I got off my butt and did some Jewelcrafting dailies.  I know everything will be replaced in Cataclysm, but, gathering patterns gives me a sense of satisfaction.

Before January is over,  I also want to get my mage one piece of T9.  I realize that stuff falls from the sky these days; this in no way means I’m not going to enjoy it.  Tyrolos also gave me some enchanting supplies.  I’m hoping to get some sweet points of Tailoring and make my Epic Flying Carpet along the way.

Finally, I have the leveling bug.  It was on my Resolution list to level Mewmoo to 80 before Cataclysm.  I’m at 75, so, if I delve into it every chance I get…well, I think it will definitely happen.

World of Warcraft 2010: Resolutions

Today, I was thinking of my wish list of things that I want to complete in World of Warcraft.  I thought I’d write it down so I don’t forget:

1. PUG with 100 random people using Dungeon Finder on Autoshotmoo
2. Save up enough gold to get my Mechanohog on Autoshotmoo
3. Get at least two pieces of my T9 on my Mage before Cataclysm
4. Level my mining and blacksmithing on my Paladin to at least 425
5. See Mewmoo (my feral druid) hit level 80

It’s a big list.  I’m not sure I can complete it all but it will be fun trying!
