…Hawaii!
Last week we booked the trip – 2 weeks at the usual time (late May/early June). Details to follow.

No Updates?
The reason for no updates is that 95% of my waking hours at home (School resumed this week) are spent playing Warcraft. Not much to say except it is *amazing*. I am currently halfway through level 67, and will likely hit level 70 (the new cap) in 3-4 days. At that point, I will ‘cool off’ and you can expect frequent updates again 🙂
Here’s some screens I captured:
The Burning Crusade
The long-awaited expansion for World Of Warcraft, entitled The Burning Crusade, comes out tomorrow. Or rather, at midnight tonight. I will be at a local store buying it at midnight, and logging on soon afterwards. The expansion allows players to level their characters to level 70 (from the current maximum of 60) and offers a wealth of new areas to explore, monsters to kill, and equipment to equip and use. It should be wonderful 🙂
I’ve spent the last couple of weeks getting my character ready for ‘BC’, mostly by exploring what little parts of the game I hadn’t already seen (and doing quests I hadn’t done)…
Or by fishing, to level up the fishing skill (notoriously time-consuming)…
And most especially in the last 3-4 days, by mining to accumulate enough raw materials to help me level up the new Jewelcrafting profession added in the expansion…
This final shot is of much of my current in-game belongings. You may be able to make out the massive amount of ore, which will tomorrow or the next day be turned into rings, necklaces, bracelets etc as I level up Jewelcrafting. (A second character of mine, used solely as a source of additional storage, is holding another 700+ pieces of raw material that will be mailed to Momo when she reaches a high level in Jewelcrafting)…
Note the total time played: 1136+ hours and rising…!
