Idol Predictions: 75% Accurate

March 2, 2007 By Gitr Leave a Comment

According to yesterday’s post, American Idol: Week 2 Women’s Night, I was 3 of 4 on my guesses for those getting voted off.

It is becoming quite clear that this season is more about being popular than being a good (or great) singer with some of the ones that really are not up to snuff.

I believe that both A.J. was better than Brandon and Sanjaya just plain sucked worse than all of them Tuesday night. He had no power, no presence, but he did stand out. Like Simon says, [Read more…] about Idol Predictions: 75% Accurate

Venturing Out In Terrokar Forest; Tailoring=$$$

March 2, 2007 By Gitr 18 Comments

I got on Bloodr again last night to find the two places I wanted to go to turn in quests and do some more of them were still being camped by high-level Alliance players. /sigh. So Deadr went and made a ton of gold. In the process, he spent a lot, too.

I started yesterday morning getting the quest for getting the two Eyes of Veil, but hadn’t ventured out to do so. I got to the location after work and got one of them, but I still need to get the Eye of Shienor in the treehouse on the East side. During that stint, I lit the 3 Altars and got 14/30 of the feathers from the guys guarding the eyes and about a stack of Netherweave cloth (yay for saving 5g!).

I went to UC to play the AH to get cloth and such to make more bags. After 9 bags sold right after posting them, I repeated the process, but made 5 Netherweave Boots so I could get some more skill points and got to 245.

This morning, all of the bags had sold and I went in to buy more. One of the sellers /w me and said “buy them ALL!” LOL. He was saving for an epic flying mount. I told him “I just bought 80g…have a nice day.” I took the translocator to Silvermoon to use the Mana Loom in the Bazaar and made my first Imbued Netherweave Bag and 11 more Netherweave Bags. That should be about 130g when I get home.

There doesn’t seem to be an end to the bag market any time soon, because [Read more…] about Venturing Out In Terrokar Forest; Tailoring=$$$

What Great Bosses Are All About

I’ve said before that I have an incredible boss. She has 2 MBAs and finished her undergrad in 3 years and has 20 years of management experience. I honestly can’t say enough about her skill and tact with us and her tenacity with upper management and her willingness to go to bat for our needs.

That said, we had a major re-organization yesterday that left her counterpart with 1/4 of his underlings and almost tripled my boss’ staff. I know she will do great, as usual, but I can’t help but think that she should sent this around for our new co-workers to read: Note From Boss To Employees. The link leads to Execupundit.com, but I discovered it from Seth Godin’s blog.

Every HR department in the world should give people access to these fine tips for getting along at work.

It was another night of met expectations, and even a couple of suprises for me. First, my expections that were met:

The previously mentioned black women rocked.
Antonella SUCKED!!
Leslie is still a karioke singer.

I was pretty suprised by several things: [Read more…] about American Idol: Week 2 Women’s Night

Chinglish? Try Itlish

I found a trackback for my blog to MondoBlog.it and had to go to Google Translation to figure out what it says. As I read it, I couldn’t help but post the translation here for you to enjoy. It’s a little off-topic, but here goes:

World of Warcraft (literally “the world of Warcraft”, sometimes abbreviated in WoW) more famous game online for multiplayer, that it counts eight million players all over the world. Giocabile exclusively in Internet and behind payment of a canone, is developed from the Blizzard Entertainment and has been published in 2004. The game has one graphical three-dimensional that concurs with the player to dip itself in the universe of Warcraft, acclimatization of three previous videogiochi Blizzard.

I especially like “concurs with the player to dip itself.”

I Love Netherweave Cloth

March 1, 2007 By Gitr 1 Comment

I realized that the market for Netherweave Bags was good enough for a sizable profit over mats on BL. I took my 100g and whittled it down to 31g and also bought some leather that is supposed to sell well, but hasn’t yet. I bought up Netherweave Cloth like crazy. I made 2 bags for Jikksta for last night’s witty answer to my contest and sold 3 more. They sold just as I hearthed back to Shattrath City.

Not being one to miss out on a good thing, I went back to Undercity to buy more cloth and sold 6 more. I also posted a wand that had been giving me AH trouble before and sold it for 110g. This morning, I bought 12 stacks of cloth and made a pair or Netherweave Pants and Netherweave Gloves to hit 340 Tailoring and made 10 more Netherweave Bags. I bought the recipe for Imbued Netherweave Bags on the AH right then and there.
