Pardon Our Dust…

You might notice a different appearance over on the left sidebar, under Links. I spent Tuesday night playing with a new presentation for the blogroll. It’s not finished yet, and I think it could use some tweaking…and I’m still not sure how much I like it, given my current blog theme. In fact, I’m totally…

OMGooses! We’re (almost) famous!

Looking at my blog stats earlier today, I was happily surprised at a sharp jump in hits–especially on the 10 Commandments post. Then I noticed I had 53 hits from Google Reader (I had to make sure my stat counters weren’t counting my own views of my blog!). Something unusual going on, but it would…

So much to do, so little time…

Author’s Note: No real substance here; feel free to skip this one. I really need some focus, or something. I’m trying to get my Hunter, Talonis, through the Netherstorm quests so he can head to the Shadowmoon Valley. And I would like to clean up a few things in Netherstorm with Osprey, my Priest, so…

It’s Official: AWDY’s Going to Raid.

Well, in the name of full disclosure, we’re at least talking about it. Our GL put up an interest post on our guildsite yesterday. Now the challenge is to get our high-levels to log in and read it. I’m definitely interested. I might even admit to a wee bit of excitement at the prospect of…

Tales from the Blog Lagoon: Oct. 19 – 25

Welcome to another edition of the week that was! As you may have noticed, I post this article on Fridays (except when I’m, say, in Hawai’i), so each Friday I start the next week’s article. It also helps to get me in the mood for the weekend. And our first entry certainly did that! Keredria…

So When Do the Brooms Go Boom?

According to WoW Insider, we can expect our Hallow’s End brooms–green, blue, and purple, to disappear after November 1, the last day of the Hallow’s End event. However, many players (including most of my guild) think the 14 days is "played time"–which, if a seldom-played alt has a broom, could be a looooooooooooong tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime. What…

Temerity Jane: Exalted with WoW

Many of you read TJ’s blog. I do; my only excuse for not adding it to the blogroll before now is because it isn’t strictly WoW-related all the time. Well, that’s not really a great criterion, in my opinion–and certainly hasn’t stopped many of my fellow bloggers from adding it to their blogrolls. Oversight corrected….

A New 5-Star Blog

Hardly a new blog, Lassirra’s Hunter’s Mark blog is a virtual cornucopia of hunter-related information. Her recently-concluded 3-part series outlining the hunter talent trees (Survivalist, Marksman, Beastmaster) is an excellent introduction to hunterdom, as well as a great review for both experienced hunters, and other classes wishing to know more about one of the most…

Sometimes, it’s better to be lucky than good

So last night, Are we Done Yet (AWDY) went into SM for the third night in a row to take on the headless horseman. We again went as a raid group (6 of us, so two groups of 3). We only did 3 pulls, but we still did pretty well: Another Helm of the Horseman…

Yes, Virginia, there ARE girls on the Internet!

This article was prompted by a post by Pike at Aspect of the Hare. I have to say, she gave me a chuckle, but I thought I just might want to make sure there isn’t a suspicion out there that I’m some kind of misogynist or other brand of weirdo. Pike did take my comment…
