2012 has finally come to a close, bringing in a shiny new year that still feels clean, bright and full of hopeful unknowns. We can’t read anything on the internet without being overwhelmed by eye-rolling clichés, resolutions and reflections. And yet I completely understand why everyone does it –starting fresh with grand ideas about what the future [...]
Thursday’s Thoughts
After a short break from WOW, I’m getting back into the swing of things, and even have begun raiding. I was getting a little burnt out on logging in to fish, scan the AH and grind archaeology and herbs. So what did I do while away from Azeroth? No I haven’t been playing Rift like [...]
Thinking About Your WOW Career
I haven’t spent a lot of time in-game over the past two weeks, and have been feeling rather apathetic about everything, WOW included. Winter always leaves me a bit depressed – from the bitter cold air that freezes the inside of my nose, to the pale-but-blindingly-bright sun that doesn’t provide any warmth, to the insane [...]
Holiday Ramblings
I have a couple real posts lined up but I keep forgetting to take screenshots for them. Instead I’ll just ramble on about the events of the past week or so. I’ve gotten plenty of WOW time in. I worked from home for the first half of last week, so I was able to play [...]

Shared Topic: Leave of WOW Absence
I know you’re thinking — really, she had to use a Shared Topic again? Can’t she write anything original? I apologize for being unprolific with my writing last week. I had hoped that the thoughts would stop spinning around my head and solidify into actual sentences rather than than a jumbled mess of words. Unfortunately, [...]
Back to Reality
Monday morning after a two week vacation really hits hard. I woke up at 5:45 am, drove to work in the dark, swearing under my breath when I realized it was negative 7 degrees outside. Piles of emails later, and my fuzzy brain is trying to figure out what the heck I was doing before [...]
The Week in Review – Vacation and Spirit Tracks
No, I haven’t disappeared, I’m just on vacation. On Saturday – Monday I was driving from Minnesota to my parent’s house with a few stops on the way. Since then I’ve been busy catching up with friends and family. I haven’t actually played WOW since Saturday morning. *Gasp*. I have been playing a game though [...]
