Woohoo! Child's Play auction: http://www.brigwyn.com/childrens-week-childs-play-charity-auction/
Lotsa good stuff, and I'm very happy to see bids on all. Yay!

Children's week continues in WoW, and last night I was down to the PvP achievement for the event. (cue ominous music here...)

I'm not big on PvP. My adrenaline hits when someone attacks me, and I just get a bit scattered at times. I don't have my HUD setup for anything but tanking, so it's a bit of a challenge to switch gears. But, I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised at my sick survivability in the BGs last night.

First, I hit my least favorite - WSG. Usually when I go in there, it's a mess and the Allies win. Meh. But yesterday it was the daily, so I figured I'd see if the good players had moved into that one. And oh yeah, had they ever! I've never won two games in a row, much less two perfects in a row. Got my flag return and some nice honor. Now I'm kicking myself that I didn't stay and get enough WSG marks for another pvp mount...

AB next - my standby. AB is a good game: nice map, achievable results, lotsa action. Had a few close games, but I was getting more and more amused that I was only rarely dying. I'd noticed it in WSG, but it was doubly so in AB. Due to a combination of healers (thank you thank you healers in BGS, you unappreciated folks) and just toughness and HP, I only died a few times. Nice - I like the lesser repair bill. And I got my flag for Children's week with my orphan watching.

Then I went over to EOTS. Now, during BC, I liked EOTS. It was fun, the bases were actively defended, and folks got it. Yeah, not so much for me last night. No, everyone cannot carry the flag. No, we really do need to get bases. No, you can't just fight in the middle of the BG for no apparent reason. I got frustrated enough to quit in the middle of a game and give up. I'll try again tonight or tomorrow.

Didn't feel like hitting AV last night. Went and leveled my lowbie hunter instead. But all in all, I didn't think two of the 4 needed achievements wasn't bad for one night. Here's to hoping the daily tonight isn't one I have already. And yay for all the non-asshat pvpers on last night, there were a lot of folks. Almost made me consider getting yet another gear set together for pvp. Hehe, WTB closet for all my armor :-)

Children's Week

Wrapped up my gardening just in time to start the romp about for Children's week. Nothing like putting your raiding and gearing on hold to show a tyke around.

I really enjoyed this event last year, it was sweet. And yay for more pets. Now that the achievement system is in place, I'm compulsive about finishing the achievements for each as well. And the carrot at the end of the year for all (yay drake) ain't bad either...

We rolled through reg UP last night with an overgeared, overbeered romping good group. It was like butter, cutting through without breaking a sweat. Which was good, as the beer was also contributing. Got a marginal upgrade to my bracers, and spent more gold re-enchanting the new bits. Now my dodge is up over 21% - nice! And the Stam enchant kicked my hp over 27.5. Again, nice!

I think this week I want to try Occulus. Haven't yet, as the instance is apparently different than the average dungeon crawl tank and spank. I'll read up on it, should be fun.
