A Few Period Movies.

Little behind, but a few blurbs. Watched Much Ado About Nothing (Beckinsale). So far, the amount of people I have recognized in this Shakespeare adaption has been astounding. Kate B, whom I knew would be in it. Riding up I see OMG is that WILSON?? Then Keanu? Denzel? and I recognize a few more I cannot name... Omg... Michael Keaton??? Wilson, from House and portrayed by Robert Sean Leonard, makes quite a good looking Shakespearean. I'm amused to see this play for the first time here (I know, I know, ME? Unfarmiliar with a Shakespeare?) It is a bit Cyrano, a bit Romeo and Juliet (why always with the Pretending to be Dead!), and all wonderful. Loved it! 5/5 Watched The Madness of King George . Terrifying to see how bleak medicine was, and yet funny to see that the dismissed evacuate was seemingly such a telling key the whole time! Very good flick. 4/5. Also, in the past few days, -HYACINTH MACAW! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! -Got my three other Nest raptor hatchlings (plus a few ...

10/21 Movies, WoW, Recipes.

Recipes @ Bottom: Breakfast: Bacon Cheddar Whole Wheat Scones. Dinner: Scallops & Roasted Salad, Roasted Sugar Dumpling Squash. Last night I watched The Mission. A 'Based on True Story' with Young Jeremy Irons (rawr!), Robert Deniro(sp?), and even Liam Neeson! Great movie. A little tragic, but very moving. Violins & Swords! Glee! (WoW) Also farmed up my Deviate Hatching in the 17th run (Glee!) Found a Takk Hatching (omg Glee!), and another Razormaw Hatchling (gleeeee!). I can now justify selling the double hatching to buy the one I'm missing. Think I'll leave toons on the nests, to farm up more. Maybe I can make enough to buy other's I'm missing. Oh, did I mention I got Green Wing Macaw (defias mines)? Can't believe I didn't have it. Third run. Today, we watched "The Book of Eli" which was fantastic. Really enjoyed it. Go rent it!! Recipes: Bacon Chedar Scones (var Taste of Home, unknown issue) Makes 8 1,3/4 c flour (I use whole wheat)...

Exam2=88%. Seafood Sketti. Etc.

Made hubby help me with the Zangar Heroics (they go so much faster!) Also ran MC with him (for Thorium Brotherhood and Hydrax' rep. Used a camped alt to find the Wetlands raptor pet (Razormaw Hatchling) but still need to move it safely from Horde to Alliance. (GLEE, new raptor!) Ran WC 5 times for Deviate Hatchling (no luck yet, makes 10 runs, at about 10m per run.) The runs themselves are fast, it's the looting and skinning that takes time. Dinner was Seafood Sketti *Squash. Sauteed some scallops, added them to a sauce made of Newman's Mushroom sauce, about 3/4 package of fake crab (the other 1/4 got nibbled), and a can of drained artichoke heart quarters. Topped in on a plate of spaghetti squash innards, dusted (heavily mmmm) with Parmesan cheese. Watched ourselves a little dinner-NCIS. I took my second Soc exam today, only got an 88. I was rather upset. Still, 96+88,/2=92, so I still have an A-. Will have to bring that up with the next exam. Also, watched Secret of...

More WoW achievements :P

Thanks to WarcraftPets.com/News I learned that WoW now sends all three CE pets to a char made with Original CE. They did not, however, send the two pets you were lacking to a character that had already completed the Companion quest (where you chose which CE pet you wanted. I always choose Mini-Diablo!) SO, I made a new junk char, and sent myself the other two pets, since they're Bind on Account. GLEE! What I did today :P Wrangled Hubby to help me burn through H:Hellfire Ramparts and H:Blood Furnace (Didn't make H:Shattered Halls before his bedtime.) Also landed a group for BWL! Someone wanted to do the old AQ chain and needed something from there, and I hitched a ride to kill Nefarian for the first time. I was the tank, didn't do so hot I think, but I've never tanked a Raid (old or new). Aaaaand bought the last bits of junk to finish Exalted Aldor (makes 27 reps exalted, btw. It also got my 22/25 tabard!) Now.. to prove I'm not a huge, lazy, fat, WoW-Nerd (but a ...

2miles, and 3 WoW Achievements.

Started out by finishing Stormpike :) Celebrated by summoning Ivus (below). It was neat: He was up for a while minute. (Kitty Formation!) Accidentally got "Save the Day", a risky achievement requiring you to kill a flag carrier, IN their base, WHILE they have their own flag. I was stalking the mound to pick up the flag when it fell, when their carrier ran in. Tried to kill him, succeeded (making him the worst player ever, besides me), and it turned out they returned the flag during that whole mess. Holy cow :) I think we still lost. Aaaaand hadn't done this yet, so did it in conjunction with trying to finish out my Lower City rep. I'm really running out of things to do: I still need Nefarion and C'thun from Classic, but we can't 4-5 man those and trying to get a run is like trying to survive on just your spit in the desert. Hate when Hubby's at Drill. I'm bored, the dog's bored (and needy and obnoxious, yet somehow still cute). I ran 2 miles ...

WoW 100 Mounts, Zandalar, 25 Reps Exalted

Image
MUWAHAHAHAHA!! I think I drove my husband crazy with this one in the last month near the end :D With the "destruction of the Blood God" and the trolls moving back into ZG in Cata (since no one DOES ZG 'cept to farm the mount) they're taking it out, making the exalted Rep with them a "Feat" and presumeably just killing the Swift Zulian Tiger. If you don't get it before release, too bad so sad. That's one I can't solo: Though I just proved I can solo the Raptor guy in unspecced bear. So far no cat (or mini raptor pet, or raptor mount). I figured I'd grind out Zandalar, thinking it would take a while, but I was already into exalted. Took me one and a half runs. About 5 hours, but I'm slow in kitty :) It happened to give me my 25 Exalted Reps. :) Glee. Hmm, now what?

WoW 4.0.1, Wintersaber Mount, Timbermaw/Diplomat!

Image
Here I was worried it would be DiabloII's 1.10 (murderously bad enough to make me stomp off and quit.) -Well.. Having ravage out of stealth (even for ONE hit) after pounce is FANTASTIC! I'm still not always BEHIND a target and FACING them when I pounce (oi vey). -Hmm, any hit seems to consume Omen of Clarity now.. so much for healing myself. I'd have to be faster than autoattack.. Is this new? I remember healing myself with that before.. -OMG what did you do to THORNS?? /ugh/ -Multiple trackers at the same time. I like it. YES YES YES! (0623, I couldn't go to bed just TWO RUNS from having it...) WEEEEE! I've wanted this since CLASSIC! (PS that makes 99/100 Mounts!) HE'S SO PRETTY! Timbermaw's "Winterfall Spirit Beads" courtesy of all the Wintersaber Runs :D ('Love Me' is for Timbermaw Exalted; 'Diplomat' for being Exalted Timbermaw, Kurenei, and Sporeggar) (PS: That makes 24/25 Exalted). And that's it for the evenin...
