Leap of Sap
You can cast Leap of Faith on a sapped, frozen, etc. target.
This is so fun and helpful in PVP! gem yelled “get me out of here,” so I ran over to heal her. Then I realized exactly what she asked for, even though I think she meant for me to come heal her, so I broke my cast and life gripped her to safety. It seems like a good way to save someone, at least temporarily, from rogues. I’ve also enjoyed using it to help speed the flag carrier on his or her run or to remove him or her from a combat zone.
I’m loving this skill.
Halfus Wyrmbreaker Downed
We killed Halfus Wyrmbreaker for the first time tonight. It was an
interesting fight. For the most part it was pretty easy. The mechanics
were interesting. Three of five possible drakes are involved. Each
gives the boss a buff, and talking to a drake causes him to temper
that buff but become mind controlled and fought alongside the boss.
The strategy comes from deciding when to engage the drakes and which
ones. But for me, it was a matter of stepping out of fire and casting
heals.
1/4 Bastion of Twilight
Chimaeron, on the other hand, was not easy. We didn’t down him.
Grim Batol
How long are heroics supposed to last? I know they take longer in
Cataclysm than they did at the end of Wrath. An hour? An hour and a
half? Two hours and forty minutes when gem and I queued for a random
heroic. It was our second heroic, but our first was with the guild.
After two hours we had switched a lot of players because they kept
leaving, and only one other DPS stayed with us. One tank even yelled
at me (a disc priest) for DPSing when I should have been healing.
Clearly he hasn’t heard of Atonement. Also, it’s hard to heal the tank
when I have to heal DPS that make mistakes. Anyways, we brought Collin
in to tank and then things went a lot more smoothly.
While that might have been particularly bad, I still can’t see myself
wanting to do a 45 minute heroic after work. I suspect I’ll be doing
most of my gearing during my days off.
Blackwing Descent 2/6
Even though I was undergeared in greens, my guild brought me to our
raid last night. It was my first time downing Magmaw and the guild’s
first time downing the Omnotron Defense System! It was very fun even
if I sucked! More thoughts on this later.
Knights of Valiant Fury
The Classifieds: Guild videos are awesome
Rehmaar is the guild master for on Wyrmrest Accord (US-A). The guild is an all-blood elf roleplaying guild, and it’s just getting started in the last few weeks. Rehmaar created this video from soup to nuts to help advertise his guild and get the word out about their themes and goals.
How come my guild doesn’t have a sweet, RP video? Or any RP? This guild looks really fun!
Various Things
Hello world!
Today felt like a good day for the most part! That’s always a plus. The store was super busy for a while, and I spent a while in music. Things went fairly well though, which is always a confidence boost.
I played Agricola a few days ago with some friends. It’s a board game focused on farming with the goal of having a balanced farm. I scored 25 while my friends scored in the 40s. Oh well! Next time I might actually know how to play, because I didn’t grok it until a couple hours into it.
I finished Daredevil Visionaries – Frank Miller Vol. 2, collecting issues #168-182, which was really good. I never realized how totally awesome Daredevil was, and I can thank Kyle at work for getting me interested.
Lately I’ve felt in the mood to watch some movies or television but wasn’t sure what to watch. I prefer funny over serious usually, and the only thing funny I still had was Sex and the City. I watched two episodes and thought it was pretty bad. I think it’s supposed to be empowering towards women, but the show trivializes sex. Then last night I started asking for suggestions for movies and watching more Sex and the City. Three more episodes into the series, and I think I’m liking it, although I dislike how it portrays sex. I know, that’s kind of weird considering that’s what the show is about.
Anyways, recommended movies were But I’m a Cheerleader, Little Miss Sunshine, My Best Friend’s Girl, Couples Retreat, and Private Benjamin. I had seen the first two but not the last three, so I’m going to try to watch those soon. (Side note: After getting the recommendations, I claimed that I thought Little Miss Sunshine was okay. And just now I checked my movie log, and I gave it a 10/10. It doesn’t seem to hold up in my memory, but I must have enjoyed it a lot when I watched it. Odd.) Today when Andy found out that I had watched more Sex and the City, he gave me a stack of DVDs – Social Network, Archer Season One, Community Season One, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia Season One, and Inception. I’ve already seen Inception, but the rest I want to see. I wasn’t too interested in the Social Network, but everyone keeps raving about it, so I’ll give it a go.
So what did I watch? Well, tonight I actually watched But I’m a Cheerleader. Every other time I’ve watched it, it was on television and I was interrupted, so I wanted to watch it straight through. Evening though I knew where the story was going, I still felt kind of sick about some of the shit in the beginning. But then love blossoms and it’s okay. I like that movie a lot, and it’s also important to me because of the circumstances surrounding it when I first saw it in high school.
And last night I hit level 85 in World of Warcraft. Now to grind dungeons so I can start grinding heroics so I can raid!

Christmas Present from gem
Chibi Devee in priest tier 10 with a Horde flag. Lok’tar! She knows me too well. I just shook and rolled around in amazement when she gave them to me. So happy.
