Daily Journal: So the problem with my Mac

Posted in Journal, World of Warcraft by Tanya Book

The problem with my MacbookPro Retina may be that the video card is going bad. Portal & Diablo 3 are causing the OS to crash. I made a genius bar appointment.

Shammy learned Glyph of Far Sight from Minor Inscription Research & Glyph of Deep Freeze via the Scroll of Wisdom. Only 10 more unknown on my list.

Hunterbook – learned Bindings of Meditation today.

Did a little professions stuff on my Sith Inquisitor for SWOTR.

While I slept I put Time Machine to backing up the MacBookPro. I got up early cause I wasn’t sleeping well. Played a little World of Warcraft. Basically spend some time on my Monk herbing & mining to level up those skills. Then I went and did her daily monk quest.

Oh I’m on Raptr now so http://raptr.com/tanyabook Apparently when I imported my WoW achievements I bumped from Newbie to Elite……………………

Took the MacBook Pro retina in to the Genius Bar at the Apple Store. The fans were at 5000 rpm when they should be around 2000 rpm. They cleaned out a lot of cat hair.

On Book’s Cooking Apprentice Daily today got Chun Tian Spring Rolls. Again. It loves to give em those. Decided to do pet battles tonight. Got Brok in Hyjal. Vordin Steadyfist in Deepholm & Goz Banefury in Twilight Highlands. Got an quality upgrade via capture to my Ash Viper from green to blue. Got a Highlands Skunk of the grey quality, and capture upgrade from green to blue on a Highlands Mouse. My humanoid pet wasn’t high enough level

so I went around panderia capturing wild pets while I leveled him. Caught a white Coral Adder. Captured a white Temple Snake. Then turned around and caught a blue quality Temple Snake. Got a green quality Garden Frog as an add to a fight. Captured a white quality Softshell Snapling. Captured a green quality Zooey Snake. Captured a grey quality Summit Kid & a Alpine Foxling Kit. Captured a whte quality Alpine Foxling. I managed to capture o blue Tolai Hare which will replace my green one. Next I captured a blue Zooey Snake. Tolai Hare Pup got an upgrade from white to green via capture. Caught a green Mongoose Pup in Townlong Steppes for Pandaria Tamer achievement. Finally hit 25 with the Kun-Lai Runt and went back to defeat the last trainer for Taming Cataclysm. Zoning into Stormwind triggered Trainer Extraordinaire.

I got a Nielsen TV survey in the mail which I went online & filled out. They included $10 in the package in cash. WoW.

Went back and finished the Pandaria trainers. Got Taming Panderia & Taming Azeroth achievements. Also the “I Choose You!” achievement.

Last night: Leveled Booktrey at bit. She’s now at 76. Only 4 more levels for her in Northrend.

Slept about 7 hours according to my band.

Rogue’s Gallery Updated

Posted in Tech, World of Warcraft by Tanya Book

I’m getting the urge to update about my World of Warcraft characters… Aka Book and the Library. I’ve done this quite a few times before.

First up is Book. You may notice if you go back through the old posts that she looks quite different now. She sort of got a big bonk on the head when she first arrived in Panderia and woke up looking like the locals. Since it helped her to blend in she left it be. Still specialized in Assassination with a minor in Combat.

Tatianaseray is now level 51. Fury & Prot. Still have a hard time leveling her though.

Bookocurses also looks a bit differently from my last post. She’s 86 now and a worgen. In Cataclysm all we needed was a worgen warlock to finish the guild achievement of all available races & classes at max level & honored with the guild. I had the level & rep so I paid for a race change. She’s going back Destro though with the changes to warlocks.

Bankbook resides at level 4 with major AH addons.

Booktrey now level 72. Hopefully before much longer I will have her leveled more. With the bonus XP from all her heirlooms. I’m leveling her as Prot same as Holy.

Shepardbook is up to level 90. She’s Disc/Shadow at the moment. Though I still dislike Shadow. I’ve got her up to Throne of Thunder LFR level gear. I’m going to really hate giving up that staff. It makes my Shadowfiend/Mindbender a tiny little Sha. I love it!!!!

Naturebook is also up to level 90. She’s my second best geared character so she’s kinda my second main. She’s mainspec’d Resto with a boomer offspec.

Badbook is still 85. She was my 2nd level 80 & 2nd to level 85. Still Blood/Unholy. I need to make time to level her.

Holybook is now up to level 90. She’s my third best geared character kinda my 3rd main She’s mainspec Holy with a Protection off-spec.

Shiftybook is now up to level 39. I never seem to have time to play her as well.

Shubook is new to this gallery. She’s my windwalker monk. Up to level 53 cause monks are so easy to level with the Enlightenment XP bonus.

Hunterbook is now up to level 85. Still Beastmastery.

Magebook is now up to 40. She’s Fire now. Still having problems leveling her despite my RNG pick which alt to work on seems to pick her alot.

Shammybook is now level 80. Still Elemental/Resto.

What’s in a Name? Part 2

LFR Shenanigans

Posted in Tech, World of Warcraft by Tanya Book

The Halls of Flesh-Shaping branch of the Throne of Thunder raid finder opened today. All I can say was OMG!!!!! It was kinda difficult. First boss I heard average was around 9 wipes before it could be defeated. Crazy. So I got this photo on Primordius while we were waiting on a tank. It’s a line of Mr. Smite from the trinket. (If you don’t remember Mr. Smite you may not have done the original Deadmines).
