Approval

IRL

Approval is a strange thing. I was given a small measure of approval from someone who hadn't shown me much recently. How strange it was to bask in that tiny glow as if the sunny beams of a warm summer day.

On another front, I got another sort of approval, my fiancée suggested we plan for a wedding next year. Again, a warm fuzzy feeling.

Yes, I must be pretty needy, or just emotionally exhausted.

WoW

Aproval is the name of the game there too. My Shammy, Codnor, is now 80 and grinding rep with the alliance factions, seeking their respect and approval. At the same time, our guild, the Lions, is being wound up and another guild, Chilled, put in it's place. I am finally the quartermaster. w00t!

Next stop, Jimael gets flying lessons and a mount!

Be good, if not, be careful!

2010 - Where's my flying car FFS?

Well, I've waited this long, where's my clean free power, 2TB broadband, and the flying car (Although I'd definitely settle for a flying Kawasaki)

Remember: The cake isn't so much a lie as a useful fable

I [Heart] Spiceworks

Yup, I do

Just a bit of plugging for the software that makes my life that bit easier.

Tech Guru!

IRL
I have recently been researching the brilliant Spiceworks. One way of raising your position is to write reviews and how-tos, so I wrote this one (They say you should write what you know)

WoW
Jimaeth is about to level 72, his skinning and leatherworking continues apace. Myfanawy needs to up her Blacksmithing but where do I find the time?

Mea Maxima Culpa!

I know, I'm naughty, I should have blogged more recently. Sorry

WoW

The PvP has heated up, and I now have 4 out of 5 of my PvP set. The Kodohide one. I know it's the healing one, but that's not such a bad thing, I've been healing a bit more recently, and am now not a total tard, just in the vaguely less able section.

IRL

I dug a vegetable garden, and laid paving slabs. The back garden, apart from being wet and muddy, is now wet and muddy and intersected with a path to both of the sheds. We also found a hard standing at the bottom of the garden for a small greenhouse. I hope we can put a greenhouse there. I'd love to grow my own chillis. Verily, 'twould rock!

Saw District 9, it's very good

Another real life thingy, Dan and Lerryn have surfaced, today. A brilliant couple I knew back in my bad bugger days in Bournemouth. They've gone and grown up and had nippers too. It seems to be a trend.

To you all, remember the armistice, have a good week.

Cake is NOT a lie

WoW

Holy crap, finally. Delicious Chocolate cake finally dropped. I was shocked and stunned (Well about 3 minutes later, as I was also half asleep) I did today's daily first thing. The little fella watched Peppa Pig and the Mrs was having porridge.

Jeez, nearly forgot, went to Naxx last night. SPent the first half DPSing and the second half healing, I wasn't brilliant at the latter. Got nice things. Went through the Spider wing nicely, went to the plague wing, spanked Patchwerk, however, when it was Grobbulus's turn for a kicking, it actually wasn't, it was ours. This was my first major run with the guil, and first over Ventrilo, my initial thoughts on my guild have been confirmed, they#'re a nice bunch. Also, as the healing wasn't brilliant, it wasn't 'Fire up the blamethrower, we're having a BBQ' it was civilised. Points were made, and taken, very well. Bless her, Sal apologised in advanced for sounding harsh, even though she didn't. I love my guild :D

No WoW tonight, having a night in with the Mrs. She was good enough to let me raid last night, least I can do is return the favour. However Lunch break is another matter ;)

IRL

I've been letting it slip recently. So, this morning, I ironed my shirt and had a decent shave. My chops have forgotten the touch of a razor of late and told me in no uncertain terms I should get some sharper blades. Once my face calmed down a bit, colected my thoughts, and my stuff (Minus my work phone, I've just noticed) together and got out of the house. Nice to get on the 07:43 from Braintree, much lower 'unpleasant person' factor than the mainline through COlchester.

I am, as you may have noticed, trying to be a bit more politic. This is no mean feat.

The Headless Horseman is here - And Jack is not

WOW
Yes, that's right, the annual loot-fest that is Hallows End is upon us.

I've managed to rack up both caster rings, and passed on the sword twice. I do wish the broom would last longer, as it was perfect for my Warlock when she was 70 and could take him last year. Imagine, small female gnome warlock, black hair, pointy hat, broom, black cat pet from Elwynn - Perfect

Anyway, just need 5 more tokens from the tournament to get the caster mail chest for Codnor and he'll be sorted. Then it's chest and shoulders for Myfanawy, melee shoulders for Jimael, and the leather melee chest for Ybby and Jimaeth. Once I've got those I'll have 20% XP boost to all my chars. (Sweeeeet!)

IRL
Gangan has died. Charlie's dear and lovely Grandad has gone on, after a major stroke and a short illness. He wasn't my Grandad, but he was the only Grandad I had, hence my lack of posts. The funeral's next week and I'm not sure whether to speak or not.

On a lighter note. Want a holster for my PSP.

Do yourselves a favour, give your family a ring every now and then. Even if they're massive bum-pains, they're still family.
