Happy Halloween!
For those of you non-WoW players, here are a sample of our Halloween event. It's not much of an event really but we got some costumes. Here a couple of the costumes that I've turned into: mini Diablo, ghost cat, bat, skeletonand a large version of me but with an orange tinge. There are a couple of other masks and costumes, too, like wisp, ninja and pirate but I don't have screenshots of those.

Downing More Bosses ~ Woot!
Our guild, Sentinels of Frostrune, has been doing very well. We've successfully killed all the bosses in BWL and have started AQ40. I've even been getting myself geared up pretty nicely. I'm currently 4/8 and Sword's 5/8 with our T2 set.
Here are some kinda old screenshots from our raid.

I love the polymorphs from Nef. The giraffes are so cuuuuttee!

Nef is down and Sword just had to cheer!

Back From Cape Cod!
Sword and I had a lovely time at The Cape this weekend with 14 other people. The first night there I got bitten something awful by a horde of bloodthirsty mosquitoes. THe new hammock was also tested. Sword was in it then our friend Hoster came over and joined him. Soon after I joined them for a twosome. The hammock was holding our weight pretty well until another friend of ours joined in. The hammock continued to hold until one of them asked someone to swing the hammock. All of a sudden the hammock breaks and we fall crashing to the hard earth. Fortunately for me I had three bodies to cushion my fall and I came away with nothing. Sword wasn't as lucky as he was on the bottom so he got knocked around a bit. He hit his head and I think I knee'd him a little in the crotch. Ouch!
The next day all of us ventured out to Provincetown as it was Carnivale week. Unfortunately, nothing exciting was going on. Most of our time was spent walking around and checking out the boutiques which wasn't very fun for me. After all, I was there for the whole carnival experience. I didn't end up buying any momentos but one of our friends came back with horrible cheap porn from the early 90's. One was something like Blonde Bimbos vol. 2 and on the cover was this ugly chick with big ass hair. The other looked like spoof from "From Dusk Til Dawn." What was extremely painful was the porn was old school videotapes! Yech!
This was our first drag sighting. We came across the guy in the yellow dress and girlie umbrella every so often on our tour of PTown. His companion of choice was the lil girl in the pink outfit with the Hello Kitty backpack riding her manly tricycle (the bike had a pink frilly flag that read "Sissy" on it). We later saw the tricycle chained up next to this restaurant that was holding a drag contest.

You can't tell in the picture below but the guy in the white outfit had his boobies hanging out of his top. And, the guy in the 80's looking outfit carrying that ugly tote bag was absolutely working it. His walk was sending out "I'm so sexy" signals.

That Scourge Invasion Event Thing
It was towards the end of this event that Sword and I started to really get into the event. Killing the mops gave us some nice reputation with Argent Dawn and Sword ended up getting his undead set. I, on the otherhand, didn't :(

Here is an example of a stupid alliance. Rafa from Wendigo Brewing Co. has got to be really retarded. Her brother, who happens to be horde, and his friend were ganking us just to be asses and so they could get the drops. So when Sword kicked him and his friends ass and got some Alliance people to help he must have whined to his sister. I've come to the conclusion that she is plain ol' retarded. According to her it's only natural that Alliance and Horde go after each other but it's not okay if we go after her equally retarded brother. What bugs me is that after a lil bit some of her guild came over and took over the entire spot along with her brother and friend effectively making it nigh impossible for Sword and I to continue hunting there.

So Much To Blog (and So Lazy To Do It!)
Here are some old drops that Sword got prior to me joining the guild. He got the Legplates of Might and Medallion of Steadfast Might from Magmadar and the Deathbringer from Onyxia. I got more to blog but you'll just have to satisfy yourself for now with some good ol' fashion bashing to our neighbors to the north :( Awwww ....

Have a Happy 4th everyone!

Undercooked Pork = bad Bad BAD!!!
Went on my first guild raid to MC Thursday evening and that went very well. We killed Shazzrah, Golomeg and Sulfuron. Some drud items dropped but I didn't have any points to buy them up. It's going to be awhile before I can start upgrading my items I think.
On Saturday, we killed Onyxia with 33 people then we were off to try and attempt to kill Majordomo at midnight. The lowest we could get his health down to was 32%. The last three attempts Sword wasn't feeling very well. He was feeling pain in his stomach and I thought it was just bad gas and the onset of some bad diahhrea. So he held this all in until after we were done then he off he went scurrying to the bathroom. Not too long after he had gone in I heard some horrible wretching and the sound of wet slop. I wasn't sure if he had puked but then the sound of wretching continued and I got so scared and went to the bathroom. There was Sword keeled over the sink and spittle hanging from his mouth. The sink was practically half filled with brown vomit and chunks. It looked like he shit through his mouth it was that gross. The smell wasn't pleasant either and I quietly gagged to myself at least twice as I tried to comfort Sword with a cool washcloth to his forehead.
Needless to say, we both did not have a good night's sleep. We were both up until 5am as we couldn't sleep - him from continuous vomiting and me from worrying every time he went to the bathroom to shit through both ends. Anyway, I didn't want to clean up the vomit in the bathroom but was going to wait until the next morning and see if Sword was feeling better so he could do it. We kept turning on the faucet so we could try and get the vomit to drain but it didn't seem to be draining at all due to the chunks. (Note: At this point, we figured he had food poisoning from eating bbq pork at Uno's. Sword recalled that some of the meat might have been undercooked.) The first time I tried to go sleep I couldn't because I kept thinking of the vomit that was sitting there. In my mind, I could still smell it and I just knew that even though we had the bathroom fan on it wouldn't take the smell away. So like any good girlfriend would do, I decided to take matters into my own hands and get down and dirty. Let it be noted that I wanted to take a pix of the vomit filled sink but because of the move I didn't know where the camera was. I know I'm disgusting! But anyway, the good thing was that the sink did drain leaving a thick blanket of pork chunks.
With hardy resolve I got my cleaning tools ready - plastic bag (with no holes in the bottom phew), tupperware to scoop up the chunks, thin plastic disposable gloves, paper towels, antibacterial spray and a pillowcase wrapped around my nose and mouth to prevent the stench from reaching my sensitive nose. It didn't work very well because the cloth was too thin lol So there I was vainly scooping up the vomit with my tupperware to no avail. The chunks were just refusing to jump into my tupperware! So I ended up doing what I didn't want to do in the first place. I used my gloved protected hand to scoop the vomit up. It was pretty gross so I gagged. I was able to remove the chunks but there was some stuck in the drain hole. I couldn't remove it from the drain and the drain thingee wasn't detachable so I kept jabbing my finger into the drain to try and clear it up. That worked. Then I had to clean up the rest of the vomit. There was vomit all over the sink counter, the soap, the wet wipes box and even on the walls and toilet tank! Sword's projectile vomit knew no limits! That night I had to go down to the dumpster twice to throw away plastic bags of Sword's puke. Even a small amount of vomit really reeked.
Sword's feeling a little better but he's not entirely well. He hasn't vomited once today but he hasn't really eaten anything much today for fear of throwing up again. He was able to keep some jello down but it made him feel a little gross. I feel bad because he's so hungry :(

Sword and Xab Move Into New Digs
Over the weekend, we got ourselves a brand spankin' new apartment that has central air (aaaahhhhhhh!!!). It's a two bedroom apartment on the second floor so we can even entertain housing some of you riff raffs if you decide to pass through. But only if we like you and think you won't end up stealing anything from our apt :P We have wooden floors in our itty bitty kitchen (the only downside, if you ask me) and 1 1/2 bathrooms. And, to access the 1/2 bathroom you have to go through our itty bitty walk in closet. Our balcony is a lil small but it's way better than if we were living on the ground floor because it's just an ugly piece of square cement. There's also a pool and a dinky gym at the main office so that's a plus living where we are now. Oh, and the tennis court is right in front of us so we can watch how horribly the tenants play.
The move itself went well. Sword had his co-worker help us get our junk out on Saturday. He's a professional mover when it comes to his friends so we were glad to have him around especially since the weather was hot during the weekend. What drove me bonkers was how energetic and cheerful he was. Sword and I were so tired and feeling more than a bit sluggish and dead towards the end of the move but he was still bouncing off walls and being goofy. I could have cheerfully stangled him.
I'll try and take some pix of our new apartment later :D
