Back to WoW

It's been a while since I really played WoW. Night before last, though, I ran 25 ICC on my warlock. I did HM Gunship and got Nibelung. I've also been working Brewfest on my three 80s and today I finished it up and got the title on all three. I spent last night doing some farming ad flask making on my druid. I put the flasks on the AH and made about 350 gold very quickly. I did some more farming and made some more of the flasks that sold well, Endless Rage and Frost Wyrm, and stuck those on the AH as well. Now I'm working on leveling Inscription on my warlock. It's been at 100-something for far too long. I'd like to get it up to 450, so that I can use all the spare Adder's Tongue and Deadnettle lying around my banks and make some money. Also, not having to buy glyphs will save me a bit of money.

Old Spice Commercials

Hopefully everyone has seen this Old Spice commercial.

But before that was awesome, I loved this commercial. It's also for Old Spice.

I really enjoy Old Spice's commercials. I think they're onto something.

Nanolyser

Found this site via the NaNoWriMo website and wanted to share it. It's called the Nanolyser. To see what it does the following is a link to my stats from last year. It'll only be there for a couple more days though (until the NaNo site goes down on the 1st): Leviathan's Nanolyser Stats.

Also I am watching/listening to the following video on repeat while writing this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyN7F51g0Rs. I was so excited that they had NPH on Glee.

It Really Is Coming Up Soon

After my post last night about starting to prep for NaNoWriMo 2010 it was surprising to me to get an e-mail today from my regional ML. It reminded everyone in the region that come October 1st, the NaNoWriMo website will be shut down and come back all shiny and new, ready for this year's NaNo. In a little over a week the forums will start to fill with people getting pumped for this year's NaNoWriMo. And I will get even more excited!! And maybe I'll even get a plot or characters or something like that. I know it's not necessary for NaNoWriMo, but it could be fun to try that way for the first time since my first NaNo in 2007.

Mentally Preparing Myself for NaNoWriMo 2010

I'm starting my NaNoWriMo preparations early this year (earlier than a week before, like the past two years, though definitely not as early my first year when I had the whole novel planned out before the month began). I am preparing by reading tons and tons. I'm speeding my way through "The Dresden Files" series. I'm on the fourth book right now, Summer Knight, and I started reading them just last week.

I've also re-found this blog today, jimbutcher.livejournal.com/. It's the blog of Jim Butcher, the author of "The Dresden Files." It has a lot of really good information about writing and I like the way he writes (obviously, or I wouldn't be reading "the Dresden Files" and especially not as fast as I'm reading them) it's fun and easy to read. Just reading a couple of his posts has me really pumped to get a plot, characters and for it to be November.

Small off-topic edit: What was I thinking when I decided to try Compose mode instead of doing the HTML myself? Of yeah, it totally worked, but then I looked at the HTML that Blogger had written and almost cried. It was terrible. The problem is now fixed.

I would embed the video if YouTube would let me, but embedding has been turned off. This video is funny and they're very talented.

Fall Cleaning: Like Spring Cleaning, But Better

Been doing a bit of fall cleaning around the blog. Haven't dropped by in a while and took the time tonight to play around with the new (or newish, it's been a while since I've posted) Blogger design tools. Went through and deleted all the comment spam that's been stacking up. There are really nice features for that now too. I got to look through all the comments ever posted and delete all the ones that were spammy and not related. Very fun. I also set it up so that I can blog from my phone and from my browser. So there may be an influx of posted videos and links in the coming days.

Test Post

This is a test post from my phone to my blog. It's a cool concept and maybe I'll post more often this way.
