Long run, ez gold

by Duf Anything and Everything

Last night Ali did a long run, almost 6 miles.  She kept a good pace for most of it.  I lamely followed along on my bike, it makes me feel like a schlub.  Afterwards she was really wiped.  We got home and she crashed in bed.  I made grilled cheese and tomato soup for her as a pick me up.  She felt better by this morning.

I have been making some easy gold in WoW lately.  My latest scheme is buying Broken Blade of Heroes off the auction house, fixing them (since I am a blacksmith) and then reselling them on the AH for a tidy 20 gold profit. I’ve done it 4 times now.

I am actively leveling 3 characters in game, my Druid, my Mage and my Hunter.  Levelling isn’t going quite as fast as I would like.  I haven’t been playing as much and some of the time I do I am off on weird tangents doing things like griefing horde.  I spent several hours up in the horde capital city of Ogrimar raising hell with my rogue.

I’ve gone into a few high level instances with our guild recently.  These instances are the things that send players over the edge, into the deep abyss of WoW where you spend the majority of your waking hours in game as opposed to IRL. (wow acronym, In Real Life).  There is just so much wasted time.  These instances require either 20 or 40 people in a group.  Imagine the fun involved with trying to coordinate that many people to show up on time and follow orders.  It is a pain in the ass.  So much time is spent just standing around.  The payoff is these instances are where the ultra-leet equipment can be found.  The problem is when this loot drops, multiple people in the group have a shot at it so if you don’t have the high roll, you lose and you basically just spent several hours for nothing except to pay a large repair bill for your damaged equipment.  Many people live for this portion of the game, I could care less about it. 

The weekend is pegged for grass mowing, cleaning the one spare bedroom and hopefully having mom over to see the new stuff.  Ali leaves Sunday for 3 days for some dietary conference.
