This morning I was doing my random dungeon and got Scarlet Halls. Armsmaster Harlan is a notorious group wiper. Tank goes, “Everyone know how to not screw up. Right?” Then we proceed to kill him so fast that he never spun up. Healer goes, “So that’s how you do it.” I got a good laugh.
I’m liking the Tier 11 rogue gear. Never liked the tier 10 design.
I’m liking the warlock helm, but otherwise not too wild.
Death Knight Tier 11 from MMO champion
I’m really liking the DK Tier 11. Which I like her Tier 10 as well.
This post is being written for @devlynmoreland and her friend Chris who are still kinda new to World of Warcraft. It includes several things I wish I knew when starting.

Usually when I start something I jump in with both feet, this has held true with World of Warcraft as well. I started less than a month ago and I already have a character up to level 23. I have friends trying not to overwhelm me with everything, but they occasionally do. (They have been in since WoW was in Beta.)
But I get lots of help. One of my friends gave me gold to start out with. That allowed me to pay for training without worrying about the cost of training. Also someone from my guild sent me lots of Linen, Wool, Silk, Mageweave & Runecloth as well as the Books to scale up on bandage making. My first aid went from Journeyman to Expert and beyond with just these materials. Plus I learned Silk Bandages and Heavy Silk Bandages from the Books I was went.
Random people walk by and cast fortitude on me.
I picked a Human Rogue to begin with and luckily I was able to snag the name Book. Everyone asks me how I got the name on the crowded Earthen Ring server. I just tried it and got it. I was lucky.
I picked Rogue because I was told it was an easier one to level up. I basically want to be high enough leveled to play with my friends.
I may journal some about my experiences leveling and getting through on up in WoW. Maybe I’ll show off some of the places I have found.
So if you’re not interested in World of Warcraft be prepared to be bored until this obsession passes and I move on to another one.

Surprise, A non Twitter post! I’m still around.
Yes, I got a Wii Fit. I’ve been working on it the past three days. Hopefully this will encourage me to keep up some semblance of exercising. When I was dancing ballet, I could stand on one leg for a long time. Now, several years and one broken & repaired ankle, you can ask me and I’ll be shaky in under 30 seconds. I blame some of it the ankle, but really the weight gain I put on a few years back has a lot more to do with it. And I’ve always sucked at push ups so I’m trying to do that one every time I use the Wii Fit.
Hopefully if I post my activity I’ll be more likely to keep up with it.
I must say the cats find pushups to be very interesting. I can just see them saying “crazy human” in their brains.
Anyway here’s the damage so far.
Friday I put in 10 min
Sat I put in 22 min
Today I put in 24 min
