Sharp-eyed

My authentic japanese name is 猿渡 Saruwatari (monkey on a crossing bridge) 籍真 Kazuma (take part in reality).

Interesting. I kinda like the feel of Kazuma.

And….once I got the order right (I think.):

坂本 Sakamoto (book of the hill) 国海 Kuniumi (country ocean).

Doing a bit of questing on my alt tonight. About to turn in a quest and took a bit of a detour (on a whim) to see if I could spot a very rare creature. Looks like the hunter luck was with me tonight…

It’s been quite a while since I went on a long trip. The last out-of-state trip I took was last summer’s family trip to Vegas, but the last multi-state trip I was on was nearly a decade ago. Vegas is a decent hop from Southern California, but I’ve been thinking a longer trip would be fun. I’ve yet to really experience the east coast of this country, so that would be a trip I’d like to plan out and go on for a long vacation. How do I get there?

It would be a super long drive and perhaps an RV rental would be fun, but I’d likely be taking a solo trip, so a train trip or flight is what I’m thinking. I don’t mind flying, but I’ve never been on a cross-country train ride. That’s what I’d rather travel in for a long trip. What about you?

Would you rather drive across the country in an RV or go by train? [From That’s My Answer! » Would you rather…]

One thing I’ll be doing at Blizzcon…playing BINGO. No! Really…

Whatever happens, make sure you print out your bingo card before you go, and then throughout the weekend, cross off everything that you see on there. If, by the end of the weekend, you’ve nabbed five across, you win!

I’m printing my Bingo card right now…

Time off from work has been approved. Blizzcon is a go!

Oh, yeah. Fall has hit this blog as well. Enjoy the colors…

As Blizzcon draws nearer, I’m happy to see that my guild tabard from the folks at Swagdog.com has arrived! I’ll wear it at the conference so that any guildies looking to find me can do so. I think this is the first custom-made t-shirt, I’ve ever ordered. It looks pretty well made.

Yeah. I’m pretty die-hard when it comes to WoW…

I’ve been waiting months….and months for this… (continue reading…)

If you’re a raiding hunter in the World of Warcraft, this article is a very good read:

BigRedKitty: Channeling Larry King – WOW Insider:

Except for Death Kniggets, no class got more new toys than Hunters. Mages and Paladins and the other lesser classes got some presents under their WotLK-tree, but we got so many gifts, we can’t see the floor. It’s good to be us!

PTR adventures…or, I should have just gone to Shadowmoon Valley…

A sign of things to come? This line took 2 hours and was to tame The Kurken, one of the exotic beasts that hunters will be able to tame in the upcoming patch. The long wait was due to a certain orc hunter who would kill The Kurken occasionally while another hunter was taming it. That probably won’t happen on PvP servers (it’s an alliance starting area), but I can see this happening on PvE servers. I believe that type of harassment is reportable on live servers, so it might not happen too often…

At any rate, two hours later, the job was done: (continue reading…)

I hope it’s worth the wait…
