WoW: Isle of Giants (part 2)

I killed that world boss Oondasta that I mentioned in last post. Was pretty hard yeah but there were about 50 of us doing it so we managed on 3rd try. Didn't get any loot, but I got an achievement for it.

Dead Oondasta

We died a few times...

Also this will probably be a WoW blog now mostly. Might post about other games too, and anything else like that.

Oh also (on an unrelated note), this is my new favourite picture ever:

Fanfic Count 05/04/2013 - 12/04/2013

Keeping a count of how many fanfics I read in a week. I'm reading less books than I did when I was a kid, but I'm pretty sure I'm reading the same amount, if not more, than I used to. So I'm making a list.

Drabble = 1000 words or less
Short fic = 1000 - 10,000 words
Fanfic = 10,000 - 50,000
Bloody epic fanfic = shit-ton of words that I tend to start at night and then berate myself for ever starting it

05/04/2013:
(Raid night so list is shorter)
10 Drabbles (BBC Sherlock)
9 short fics (BBC Sherlock)
2 Fanfics (BBC Sherlock)
About 1/4 of a Bloody epic fanfic (Harry Potter) that I started at about 23:30 and then berated myself for ever starting it

WoW: Isle of Giants

I decided to try out the other new level 90 place today.
It's called Isle of Giants and its basically just full of dinosaurs.

There aren't any quests. Each dinosaur drops some Giant Dinosaur Bones. If you collect 9999 bones you can buy a mount.

Reins of the Bone-White Primal Raptor

I think there's also a chance for some of them to drop mounts and other stuff too I'm not sure.
There's also a world boss Oondasta. Haven't seen him on the island yet.

Oondasta

I hadn't realised they were all elite!

So I got to the island (by flying over then getting dismounted because no flying allowed apparently) and there were just level 90 elite dinosaurs everywhere.

I tried in frost spec first (I was on my main the Deathknight) and I managed to kill one of the smaller ones but almost died. Then I tried a bigger one and it one-shotted me. :/

So I changed to blood spec and it got a lot easier. I mean I was killing them slower, but at least I was surviving (mostly - I still haven't tried killing one of the huge ones again). I even managed to pull two at once and not die.

But after an hour I had 58 bones and pretty much nothing else.

Its going to take ages to get that mount!

Have a picture that I took when I got the center of the Island. Look at all those dead people. XD

Autocorrect

The best autocorrect?
It's when you forget to change the language of the keyboard. Ends up in illegible messages with maybe the odd word that remains the same and which you use as a clue to translate it.

Aka this: yeah bus i diante lide Himalaia In chat
Was supposed to be: yeah but I didn't like him in that

Night. Or, Carl is terrible at titles and blog posts.

My favourite time of day is the night, especially when everyone is asleep. Although it's usually different depending on where I am. Right here it's so quiet that if I so much as do anything in my room it bloody well echoes. When I'm at my Grandma's apartment in Brazil it's still fairly loud at night in comparison (although distinctly more quiet than Brazil during the day).
The quiet is nice, and the lack of light is nice. I love the dark sky. And with (mostly) everyone asleep I can pretty much just be alone. I think that's my favourite part of it all.

I have no idea what this post is supposed to accomplish, if anything at all. I just thought I'd post something a bit different and this is what I was currently thinking about.

Cannot remember everything that has happened since last update.


I managed to get that second 90 character on WoW.

Been writing again.

Got into suburgatory lately. Seen eps 1-9, 10-15 are downloading right now for later.

Going to watch The Following later! Really loving that show.

Started watching Camelot too but don't think I'm going to continue with it. I like neither Arthur nor Merlin in it.

That's about it.

Past few days I have:

Played lots of Wow (working on the second 90 - shaman healer)

Been to the Dentist and got told I have gum disease. Going again next week for a 'gum cleaning'.
Until then I got told to massage/squeeze the gums to get the blood out. It's kind if disgusting but at least I like the taste of blood.


Watched a lot of Adventure Time. All caught up now which is sad as I have to wait in between episodes now (and each episode is only 11 minutes long!)

That's pretty much it. Also had a look at flats again. For some reason there's loads available only from July 0_o

Also again considered getting a job here until move but where we currently are it's so awkward to get anywhere.
1. I don't drive
2. There isn't a bus stop nearby, unless I feel like walking for 20 mins down a busy road with no pavement and no street lights
So basically I could get a job if it was around the time my mum worked but that's about it tried looking but couldn't really see anything :/ dunno how long I'm going to be here anyway hopefully not much longer. I like being here but I just can't live with my mum permanently I just can't we'll end up killing each other! (Slight exaggeration)

Today I:

Finally watched the Perks of being a wallflower. I had liked the book and Catherine kept recommending that I watch it. I rated it 10/10 on imdb. I thought it was better than the book, but I might have been biased because it contained two actors that I really like (Emma Watson and Ezra Miller).

Other than that I honestly have no idea what I spent all day doing. I must have done something all day but nothing noteworthy apparently.

01/02/2013

Today I:

Played World of Warcraft
Went to IKEA again
We saw Tony while we were in IKEA and spent most our time there keeping an eye out for him so we wouldn't bump into him or something
Built a bookcase
Spent about 3 hours on y!answers answering idiotic questions
Sold my PS2 + games on eBay, guy is coming to collect it tomorrow
Looked at more flats in Leeds to rent (why are there so many that say available from July???)


Also yesterday I registered with a local dentist and managed to get an appointment for this coming Monday.
Mum was so pissed off. She has an appointment on Wednesday that she's been waiting months for.


Also I have not shaved for 14 days. (I'm not shaving for 30 days per suggestion of online person in re: to shaving issues) Will look like bloody Gandalf by day 30! (That may be an exaggeration)

26/01/2013
