Ding! Level 1

In case you didn’t know or couldn’t tell by the big honking link in the top navigation and the picture in the side rail, I write a World of Warcraft blog for the Courier-Post.

(pro bono)

Anyhoo, that blog is one year old today!

I’m very proud.

Shameless self-promotion and, uh, more shameless self-promotion

Firstly,

Cookiecam lives tomorrow at noon, via Mogulus.com and an embedded player here on ladygypsy.net. I still need to find my web cam and figure out how to get this to work, but by hook or by crook, there should be something online at noon tomorrow.

Live, and hopefully silent, since I really would rather not chat into a camera. I have the voice of a silent movie star. :/

Secondly, I wrote a World of Warcraft Gift Guide for my WoW blog. Check it out!

It’s over between us.

See, I was completely going to do 8K words this weekend. But between this blog, my WoW blog, the freelance job that might come up again this week (please?) and the rest of my life, I was running behind to begin with.

Then…he came along. And oh my gosh I haven’t had a weekend like this in a LOOONNG time.

I spent the whole weekend with him.

I went partying with friends…

I saw new species of weird, walrus-like men…

I was chased by giants…

And for the first time since February…

I levelled!

Anyway, remember that it’s not you, it’s me.

Maybe next year?

Pillow talk

(scene: bedroom, lights out)

WM: (talking about his classes) …and the kids complain about my handwriting. They can’t read it on the board.
Me: Well, your writing is…delicate. And pretty. It’s girly!
WM: Well, you write like an ax murderer. Your writing doesn’t even rate “ransom note.”

Talk about below the belt! Penmanship/handwriting was always my worst subject in grade school. And now my writing is a strange amalgam of print, cursive, and cuneiform. So sue me!

(scene: living room, at my PC as I write this)
WM: (looking over my shoulder) I don’t know if I would have gone with cuneiform. I’d have gone with hieratic. It’s a low-rent form of hieroglyphics.
Me: LOW RENT????

Can you feel the love?

BTW, I was invited into the World of Warcraft Wrath of the Lich King beta. If you’re interested in that, i blog about my WoW life on the Courier-Post site.
