Festive

June 21, 2008

The Midsummer Fire Festival began today in World Of Warcraft, and I played like a madman to get a certain reward item before our trip. The item is called the Brazier Of Dancing Flames, and it took me about 5 hours of wandering all over Azeroth and Outland to get enough blossoms to redeem for the brazier.

When used, the brazier creates a dancing female drenai made of fire. What makes it great is you can target it and type /dance to turn into a dancing flaming drenai yourself. It created quite a stir in Shattrath when I used it.

It’s possible, although I can’t be sure, I may be the first person on the server to get this 🙂

< Lord Ahune (notice the druid in front of him)

I also had an attempt at the seasonal boss this morning, Lord Ahune. But he’s quite tough, and we failed repeatedly. I’ll get him when we return from Puerto Rico!

Here’s a couple of other recent WoW moments:

That’s me (as a snowman) and Florence (in undead rocker disguise) on the left, and a scenic shot of Momomo on her Talbuk at right…

Two Meme’s

June 20, 2008

First, Florence asked me what 3 things I’d bring to a desert island. My list is conditional: no people/pets and no electricity. Therefore, trying to be serious here:

1) A tent
2) A knife
3) A hand-cranked flashlight

With those three items, I’d be the master of my domain 🙂

Incidentally, I forward this meme onto anyone else reading with a blog.

Secondly, AW proposed a new meme, and here goes:

“Poleaxed, she fell to the floor.”
– Sting Of The Zygons (2007), by Stephen Cole

“His long blond hair was whirling with the harsh whip of the wind, and he had to yell to make himself heard above the din.”
– Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest (1990) by F.X. Nine

F.X. Nine eh? Could that be Francis Xavier?

Almost Gone

June 20, 2008

Early Sunday we leave for Puerto Rico. We’ll be there until Thursday. KLS will be spending much of her time in the training seminar, and I’ll be…well I’m not really sure. I think ‘exploring’ is perhaps the best word for what I’m planning on doing.

I’ll be blogging from my cellphone, so watch this space!

< Old San Juan

The only place (aside from the beach) I’m certain I’ll visit is the 500 year old fort that Old San Juan is famous for. It’s visible on the end of the promontory in the above shot.

If you have any particular requests for souvenirs, photos, blog entries or whatnot, please add them as comments to this entry.

And watch your mailboxes for postcards 🙂
