Deaths Per Second that is. Kara part two was tonight. And although Eyebrows, Boomkin of Doom tried, he could not beat my mass quantities of horizontal DPS. I think he beat me last night though. I actually had a spectacular yoyo effect on Netherspite. I died, my Twisting Nether trinket procced, so I rezzed, I died again, and got a battle rez, after which I died AGAIN. That’s right, 3 deaths, 10 seconds. I’m the queen. I actually beat everyone. TWELVE deaths all told. Why do I have points in Subtlety again?

Tonight we had another newish tank, so there was alot of learning going on. Both tanks picked up their roles, and are progressing quite well. This is where I brag about my guild again. I admittedly was spoiled by my former raid leader. It was terrifying thinking of moving, and having a new one. But, not only has every leader been calm, and easy to listen to, they are all incredibly patient. I was so used to a tank always leading, but these guys can run with a priest leading, and that priest (an example from this run actually, when he wasn’t on his rogue) will still know what every class, including the tank needs to know/do/remember. I guess that comes from their many many alts/mains having already come through all of this. I’m happy to say I’ve gotten used to their way of doing things finally, my biggest challenge going from one guild to another. We had some decent drops going around. Still no boots for me, but as long as I need badges, I can keep trying. Grats to Awl on her new shinies!

Epic Flight is coming along. I’m working on the last 2k gold now. After Kara I went to my hunter and farmed some basilisks for the meat and skins, flew around gathering herbs, killed some bog lords and herbed them til my bags were full. After which I went to Jess, had her make Elixirs and pots, and a flask, sent those off to my broker alt to AH. Gotta love when you decide to make 10 elixirs and get 20 out of it. I made over 100 potions, and elixirs in the last couple days and not a single discovery. Tomorrow I’m logging straight into the game after my morning coffee and Blog Azeroth chat, and doing two rounds of dailies. I’ll probably go back to questing on Jess since there’s no room in her quest log to get the dailies done efficiently. My goal is to have at least the skill by the end of the weekend. I also can use Hubby’s miner, since he’s not home.

For now, it’s bed time. The dog keeps nudging me and walking back to the bedroom, so either Timmy fell in the well, or she’s ready to go to bed.

So, I knew hubby was leaving this week. But it was NOT supposed to be today. It  was SUPPOSED to be tomorrow. Found this out last night. Found out this morning, when he woke me up to kiss me good bye, that it was now this MORNING not this EVENING. He came home to leave me the truck, and say goodbye. This is not how we like being woken up. This has totally thrown off my day.

Onward…last night was Kara, it was quite the adventure. We had a new tank in, so it was a learning run for him. I’d run with him a time or two, and he was eager to learn and did ok, so he got a few Kara lessons last night. And a couple nice tanky drops.  Kara as usual was a blast, but I’m still one of those people that loves the place.

Outside of that, I’ve been slaving over epic flight form for Jess. I’m over halfway to it. I’ve auctioned everything I’ll never use, that wasn’t soulbound. I’ve made flasks, elixirs, anything that would sell. I’ve done quests all over Netherstorm, and I’m ashamed of what at least one made me do. Then again, it was Sunfury blood elves, they had it coming. I’m sure it’s ok to use fire for the good of the world, even if it’s not ok for celebrating. I hope?  I’ve also stopped in Zang whenever I pass through to kill lightning bugs, but so far no lucky drops. Can’t blame a girl for trying though right? Tonightis part 2 of last night’s Kara run. I’m PRAYING for some nice Ugg Boots from chess. Oh, back to swift flight, I’d like to thank Part Time Druid for his sage advice.

I was mulling the idea of dropping my leatherworking skill, so I could use my swift flight (when I get it) to pick up herbalism. My hunter right now takes care of skinning and herbalism, for Jess’s Alchemy/Leatherworking. But as he pointed out, farming is farming no matter how fast you fly. And I’d kick myself if I got to wrath and saw some awesome leather patterns I couldn’t use. Now, I’ve heard skinning and mining in WOTLK will provide buffs depending on skill level. If Herbalism has one worthy of a tree I might have to reconsider at that point.

Now it’s off to finish waking up, get some stuff done, and get back to grinding out that gold.

I made a great dinner tonight. Meatloaf, pasta salad, sweet corn. It almost failed. Meatloaf was all mixed except the egg. Which I did not have. So, FYI: Mayo makes a great substitute. You may now return to your regularly scheduled internet.

I caught a couple funny screenshots this weekend. I just had to publish here. Also, for those that saw my banner on this site, I included the two new versions. The flat color in the middle bothered me, I felt it needed some texture. And since I was in Netherstorm cleaning up quests, I used the sky there as an enhancement. Pics are all lightboxed, so click to see full size. Also, my headers now randomize, so you never know whats going to be up there.

The dead orc in Shadow Labs that refused to fall.

Dude, I TOLD you, Regrowth does NOT grow your skin back.

My new banner, redone.

First header, redone.

This one’s for YOU, BRK.
