So, I play warcraft, right? And someone created a thread on our guild forums to show off pictures of our wee ones — both 2 and 4 legged. They refer to their 2-legged creature as the Whelpling (a toddler who likes to run around Borean Tundra and farm gold for mummy — good boy! Also [...]

ModNation Racers
So I wrote this back in February, but due to NDA’s, we decided not to actually publish it. The game had been through beta already, so those who actually care about such things had already seen it, but I don’t want to step on anyones toes, so I pulled it. Until now! The game has [...]
Three liner. Also, warcraft related.
Me: That night elf has a massive rack. Nick: Maybe she’s a shaman… she’s got enhancements! Me: That’s TERRIBLE. Night elves can’t be shamans! We’re funny. (Warcraft knowledge possibly required.)
Remember: You never know who you’re chatting with.
So, I play warcraft, right? Anyway, I’m in this guild run by a coworker, and as our best geared healer, I run the healers (and the raids if he’s not there) etc etc. It’s fun, I get to be a control freak, and have minor hissy fits when someone stands in the fire. Anyway, so [...]
Christmassy Things
I am a spoiled, spoiled girl. Our xmas eve party was awesome. Many friends, much fun, a lot of Rock Band (and apparently I need a few more mics, the harmony part of Rock Band: Beatles is awesome) and even some Space Hulk… Yeah, it was good. We should do this more often. A few [...]
Dear Diary: Like OMG, my aching brain is SO SEXY.
So I went to the doctor this morning, got $200 worth of medicine for only $40 — thank you, extended health care! [As a side note, my boss was asking me recently how much I use my extended medical. As in, is it worth it for what we pay for it. Um, YES, YES, A [...]
Ow, my everything
I am thankful for my health. I am thankful for my health. I am thankful for my health. I am … OW. So, we’ve been slacking off on the working out aspect of our weeks, since Nick was laid off… he’s not too into getting up early in the morning with me, and god knows [...]
Is it still a sin if it’s pride on someone elses behalf?
Warcraft stuff. So, for reasons I’m not entirely sure of, I was perusing the Uldaman (aka, the Warcraft server I play on) forums, and came across a thread about who the “best Death Knight is”. I skimmed it, expecting to see mention of a particular DK who’s crazy damage just amazes me, and was not [...]
I’m a Nick Fangirl
Ok, admittedly, I’m a bit of a fangirl when it comes to the neat shit my awesome boyfriend does. So… you may (or probably won’t) recall a post I made last April, about very definitely NOT researching flights to LA at 1 in the morning. Of course, I had a slew of people asking me [...]
The Latency Boss
More warcraft stuff. Tuesday nights are raiding nights, so … surprisingly, on Wednesdays I’m still thinking about warcraft. So, one thing Blizzard doesn’t really warn you about is the hidden boss in every encounter… Latency. There are a few fights that are very latency driven: Frogger, which is … well, old style Frogger, but with [...]
