    In Honor of Shark Week

    The death knights at  Death’s Rise care about sharks too. So much in fact, they needed blood samples to research (or something). So, I, being the animal lover I am, helped attain them. I tried asking nicely. But, that didn’t go well. Surfing was fun though! Oh, yeah…she has two daggers now, ya see that? That’s right, full on assassination rogue right there. Stealth, poisons, mutilate…yummy. ...

    V is For Valor

    I mentioned a while back that my husband earned an award while over in Afghanistan. At the time I didn't have the whole story, and it wasn't official yet. However, I do now, and it is. He received copies of it yesterday, since he won't be here for the ceremony. He'll receive the originals when he gets back from school. I'm very glad I didn't know then. I was torn between hugging him, clobbering him, or doing...

    My Favorite Color is Chrome

    Ft Lewis had a small Motorcycle show this weekend. And before my headache knocked me to the couch, I managed to go try my hand at shooting some chrome. I love Chrome on bikes, and I love the curves, and lines of the pipes and engines. I do have a weakness though. I forget when my brain slips into photographer mode, to step back and take a few normal snapshots too.  Ooops. Click thumbnails to embiggify.

Ok. New car and a new toy. We got the iPod touch yesterday. I have yet to use my computer. So now I’m testing out the wordpress app. I might want an iPhone. Too bad verizon doesn’t have them.

Life in A Gaming Blog…Blasphemy!

This is the second time I have opted to do all my blogging here at lady-jess.com. The first time, I think I posted a few things and then went back to having two blogs. I don't really know why. Except I figured noone cared about life, they wanted to read about WoW that's why they came here. A very cute little Almost Evil gnome however told me to stick with it this time. So I am.

It's my little slap at the gamer stereotype I guess. You know the one, we have no lives, we live on nothing but Mt Dew and dry cereal staring like zombies at our computers, shutting ourselves in our homes with no contact with the outside. You know, like Columbus in *Zombieland.

Well I'm here to blatantly say screw you up yours to that stereotype. I sit here and complain about it every time I'm confronted with it. But that does no good, when I'm the only one hearing it. So I'm putting myself out there. I may lose some readers, since this blog WAS in fact once built solely around World of Warcraft. And that's something I'll have to live with if it happens.

I'm still blogging about gaming, and I'll blog about WoW again when I have a computer that can play it without shutting off in a snit. But this is my Christmas gift to me. My blogging freedom. My life, in a gaming blog. Which I guess isn't really a gaming blog anymore. It's just MY blog. As it should be. Not putting my gaming hobby on one blog, and blogging about "Real Life" on another. But embracing gaming as part of my life, and putting it all together.

I'm also eliminating the term "Real Life" unless talking about Fantasy vs Real Life. Because there is no "real life". There's just LIFE, and we all have one. There are no "real life friends" there are just friends no matter how you meet.

So take that stereotype and smack it around the next time you see it. Or smack the person using it. Because I'm here to say Life and Gaming DO mix, like chocolate and  peanut butter. Deliciously.

*If you haven't seen this movie, make a point to watch it. Even if you don't LIKE horror/zombie movies you will like this. I swear! I did!

I've decided I'm tired of having two blogs, two twitters, etc. Part of my life IS gaming. And it's time I blogged about my whole life in one place. Sadly I lost a few pots in the process of importing them here but that's ok. I have them stored and can look back whenever I want.

So, no…I'm not abandoning Lady-Jess.com, I'm making it my ONLY blog. For the reasons I mentioned above and a few more. First of all, my name isn't Jess…lol! But 400+ readers know me as the name "Jess" (of my favorite World of Warcraft character), which I named this domain after when this started as a WoW blog. That just gives me another layer of anonymity. That's a good thing.

What can you expect? Well, more posts for those that are already subscribed. Sometimes you'll see two a day even. One related to video games, and another dealing with life in general. Same me though. Just more of me!

And for those coming here from the old blog. Welcome to my world. All of it! :D
