Apparently, our pets don’t shrink anymore. Which makes me happy. But also the Frostsaber Stalkers got a new skin. Isn’t she gorgeous? I named her Isis.
Speaking of matching sets, this pair will never cease to amuse me…
Ahhhhh the 80’s.
Have a great weekend!
I faction changed my pally…I chose Draenei. I went to summon my charger and…
I have never been an Elekk fan, but this one, I have to admit is pretty friggin awesome…
I should be working on a drawing. It’s due tonight. But I hate that class therefor I am procrastinating. It’s my “Introduction to Drawing” class. Which hasn’t been much of an intro. There was no basic technique, just “draw this” and then grades based on use of line and shading (shading also wasn’t gone over for anything but ink.), and whole bunch of other things. Letter grades mind you. And there was no leeway, even though the professor knew most of us had no experience. I was even more shocked when we got to drawing people, and had no example video given. We had an example video (three in fact) for drawing flowers! I went to Barnes&Noble to find a book I could use just to pass that part. I ended up with a bunch, and the decision that I’d get through the semester and then learn my own way in my own time. It really should be a pass/fail course. You put in obvious effort you pass you draw stick figures you fail. Anyhoooo…
I went back to Azeroth last night. I’d been getting frustrated with Dragon Age 2 (love it by the way, but can’t post without SPOIKERING all of you and having rotten apples thrown at me) being buggy so I played WoW…on PATCH DAY
! And I started the new STV quest chain, because there was a pet involved. And I realized in the process…I suck at boomkin. I’m half dead before a SINGLY normal 85 mob is 1/4 dead. Now I understand most people are in heroic and raid gear at this point but it’s normal 85 mobs. So beaten up, abused, and run ragged by the sudden collection of NPC’s I had following me. I mean there was Bwemba the Troll spirit, then this Dwarf starts following me around. Why me? I mean have you ever had to deal with a drunken dwarf hitting on the ghost of a female troll? They don’t take rejection well, I’ll tell you that. It was ugly.
Then, THEN I get killed by the cute. I meet my future kitten.
Yes, YES I WILL 
Who can refuse a face like that!! Not me. That’s why I have a Menagerie!
I didn’t finish the chain. I got tired of having my fluffy Boomkin feathers handed to me in clumps. So I quit, and logged my hunter. My hunter who was Squeeing with joy when ALL her pets (The BIG pets not mini pets, different kind of collector she is.) jumped to Level 85. Even Cowbelle the Pink Tallstrider!! She got invited to run a couple normal dungeons. Awesome sauce, because she can’t do heroics yet. Her gear is on the just hit 85 end. One was I forget the name, but the second was Vortex Pinnacle and I was expecting a place like that horrible one in Northrend. But no, it was quite fun. And Pretty…
And I only died twice across two dungeons. Once because someone forgot to change it to normal (and may or may not have actually been healing the tank…). I’m not mentioning any names here. But hilarity ensued I can tell you THAT. And the second time because I missed the thingy I had to go stand in to not get murdered by lightning. My Bad. But Hey, I trapped! mostly successfully even! I had a trap vanish when I got out of range, but I did manage to get my pet on it until my cooldown came up and trap it after all. Really loving my hunter. I sure wish I loved my druid that much. She’s reduced to archaeology and pet collecting still.
Maybe I should try feral offspec. Oh wait, I have a rogue and she can pickpocket…
Horribly, Horribly wrong…though Varric seems to have the best spot.
You’ll put your eye out kid!!
That’s my character to the left. Cara Hawke. The cast here is Varric, Fenris, and Isabela.
I mentioned I was taking an Intro to Forensic Science class right? well here we are in the last month of spring semester, and workingon my final project. That project is to create a crime scene. It must include all the types of evidence we learned about, all the techniques we learned, it must have a victim, witnesses, and suspects. I also must detail the investigation and the outcome. Oh and citations. Ugh.
Anyhow. I have spent the last few months just wishing I had time to play video games. I mean I bough Dragon Age 2 on LAUNCH NIGHT! I haven’t gotten to really play it
. I just rushed through it on spring break. I have a lovely female Hawke started. But she’s stuck in Act two. Why? SCHOOL! and absent husband again. Oh and for the first week he was gone I was sick. Never change coffee again Jess.
Anyhow, I found at least one game I can play and still do my classwork. In fact, I can even say it IS my class work. The SIMS 3!
Of course I also had to spend an obnoxious amount of time creating my Grey Warden Kasha (Human Noble that married Alistair) and Alistair as SIMS. But that’s not the point.
Since The SIMS lets you create characters, homes, neighborhoods and such, AND provides you with neighbors, that makes the creation of characters much easier for my project.
So far I have created my victim, his wife, his secretary and his mistress. Neighbors come to visit randomly, so they because interviews 1-3 so far. I still need to create our awesome detective. ME!
My only problem so far is using Microsoft Word. It lags horribly any time I’m working with an image in the project. I can’t do PDF unless I buy acrobat. And that’s pretty expensive. Scrivener isn’t working for me either. But I’ll figure it out. My rough draft is “due” but not mandatory to be turned in, tomorrow. Of course I still have three other classes to deal with, but at least one project lets me play.
And no, it isn’t easy. But it’s at least fun.
