Today is my first day at my new job so I’m slightly terrified and rather distracted, thus this is a miscellanea of the various things I’ve been working on in the last few weeks.
Warcraft
In WoW, I’m steadily crossing things off my to do list. I’m finally exalted with the Netherwing, Puppy dog people, the Darkmoon Faire and the Timbermaw. The gold is pouring in nicely, certainly enough for purchasing all shinies come MoP and in fact, if the expansion hit tomorrow I could live with my current progress. I’ve even got a rough plan of what I’m going to do once Pandaria opens up.
I also got Navispammed!
New additions to my reading list
- Pretty Fly for a Draenei - A transmogrification blog full of looks for Draenei.
- Confessions of a Grown Up Gamer
- The WoW in the Details
- Vault of Light
- Why, because it’s Rare!
Competitions
You have until friday to enter Neri’s August transmogrification contest. The theme this month is Faction Pride so go go go!
Other games
Botanticula
I got sucked into this by Eva from Image Heavy who did a blog post highlighting just how beautiful this game is. Then I played their free demo on the website and fell head over heels. There is even Jack O’Lanterns….
I still have no idea what I’m meant to be doing but there is something therapeutic about running around clicking on leaves.
I also got a new phone and have managed to get pulled into the dangerous world of game apps. Who would have thought that breeding dragons or running a virtual bakery could be such fun.
After watching the Olympic show jumping, I really want to get back into riding but need to wait until our move is complete before finding a suitable stables, therefore I’m also playing MyHorse (my user name is Erinys if anyone else is playing).
Random Stuff on the Internet
As my new job involves a 20 minute daily bus journey and I can’t read on the bus, I’ve also been looking around for audio books. One of my new favourite things is now Libri Vox which proves free audio books of things which are in the public domain. It’s a bit hit and miss as to whether you like the voice of the person reading each book, but so far I’ve listened to Washington Irving’s the Legend of Sleepy Hollow and I’m currently putting Charles Dicken’s Little Dorrit on my phone which at a whopping 70 hours should last a while.
I’ve also been playing with my old friend, Wordle again. There is something addictive about it and I love the fact that both flowers and carrots made it in.
Outside games
I’ve been taking a bit of an advantage of the weather to sunbathe and generally relax.

The random musings and occasional whining of a Warcraft playing Harpy, with some lashings of priestly stuff thrown in.
TY <3
I survived my first day!!
Good luck today! Yep, Eva got me too, I kind of just run around enjoying the scenery and the music so far. Okay, got to go look up MyHorse.
Thank you.
I’m addicted to anything with flowers and cute little bugs in it
Been a big fan of Wordle for years! And thank you for all the fun links– just what I needed! But most importantly, my stalwart and amazing blogger friend – good luck in your new endeavors – you will rock the house. Of this, I have no doubt!
Thanks. Already only two days in and feeling fairly comfortable and confident with the job.
