The Hudson had to go to the vet today and he was especially bad. He was dropped off. They couldn’t get him out of the cage cause he was biting & scratching at the staff. They had to sedate him to do the exam.

Need to remember to do Culling of Stratholm heroic daily on Holy for the shield for transmog.

Outside of WoW I went to the local mall today to pick up my swimsuit.

Daily Journal: So the problem with my Mac

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.

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

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.

OMG I’m not Neutral!

Note that upon joining a different guild, your Guild reputation is knocked down a level – if you had reached Exalted with your previous Guild, you will drop to Revered with your new Guild.

via Guild reputation – Wowpedia – Your wiki guide to the World of Warcraft.

Didn’t realize this. So I was excited when I joined my new guild only to find myself at Revered. Such a nice treat.
