Movie of the week: Happily N'Ever After (And WoW)

[thistlechaser]

I never nap. I can hardly sleep at night, let alone during the daytime. Thus I can say Happily N'Ever After was quite an amazing movie for one reason: It nearly put me to sleep. I mean that quite literally -- I was nodding off, this close to falling asleep. If I hadn't sat up and turned the movie off, I bet I would have actually slept.

It wasn't a horrible, god awful movie. The animation was so very generic that I realized I was enjoying it more when I closed my eyes and just listened to the voice acting. (Somehow the animation took away from the voice acting, I heard so much more with my eyes closed.) But alas, the story was boring enough that with my eyes closed I was falling to sleep.

I gave up 30 minutes into the hour and a half movie.

While I miss being surprised each week with a new movie, I'm having a hard time not checking my queue and setting up what I want to see next.

In WoW, I finally got off my butt and made Haken drop a profession so he could take up alchemy. He was enchanting/inscription, neither of which I had used since leveling both in the early days of Cata (ugh). I flipped a coin and dropped enchanting, which worked out well as he does inscriptions ICly. (Yeah, I know there's currently good money to be made with enchanting, but I have more gold than I'll ever need and so I'm not really willing to put the work into it anymore.)

Usually I level alchemy in less than an hour, but I planned poorly for Haken and totally forgot about the primal mights to get him transmute spec. The AH was out of half the primals I needed, so in the middle of skilling, he had to go farm. ZZZZZ. I sent each set to my current alchemists as I got them, hoping for a transmute proc, but I didn't get even one, he had to farm for all four mights. ZZZZ

But at least now it's done, and he's with the others doing a transmute every day. This has the additional good feature of me logging him on, as I was starting to worry that I might lose his name. (Mail sent to him was timing out, that's how infrequently I was logging him on.)

Haken is alchemist #5. Thistle will be #6 once he hits 85 (and I have the four primal mights for him already!). Now watch Blizz nerf things and suddenly alchemists will be worthless...

You won't lose his name. One of the qualifiers for a character losing their name is being under level 10. If they're over level 10, they'll never remove the name. If they've logged on within three months, they'll never remove the name. I think if the account is active, they won't remove the name either. Basically, there's no way they'd ever take it on any character you're maxing alchemy out on. ;)

Yeah, see, I know that in my head, but I still worry. I think it's because I've gotten so many names freed myself -- I worry someone will do it to me in return! It's like that the people most worried about being stolen from are generally thieves themselves.
