WRUP: Never bet against your wife edition

It's the weekend once again, dear readers, and it's rather quiet on the development front as Patch 3.1 hasn't had any major earth-shattering changes. Aside from a few cool stuff (and some uncool stuff), it looks like most of our WoW fix will be coming from the live realms. There's still quite a lot of stuff to do, of course, between now and Ulduar.Just ask the WoW Insider team, who'll be raiding dungeons (and Universities), obtaining culinary titles, and struggling to escape poverty...
Chase Christian: I'm leading another 10m Undying attempt on Saturday, we'll see what shakes out, last week Grobbulus ruined it for us.
Michael Gray: I'm going to be testing the very limits of my infinite love from and to my Draenei fiancee . . .by she and I doing 2v2 together. May the Light have mercy on us.
Matt Low: Doing the major project boss in the University raid. Going to be cutting it close. Enrage timer's almost here and I have no wipe protection :(.
Eliah Hecht: I'm in Matt's position exactly. A bit worried about running OOM; it's a good thing we're allowed to use coffee more often than mana pots.
Elizabeth Wachowski: I'll be working on Loremaster, and unsuccessfully trying to convince people to run H-Oculus.
Daniel Whitcomb: I'm probably going to continue focusing on raising all my Death Knight's Alliance reputations up to Exalted ahead of the Argent Tournament. It's taking longer than I expected, but I have all my Alliance reputations up to revered now, so hopefully not too much longer. Also, I am about 19 points away from from 350 cooking, at which point I will only need to bake a fish feast and a cake to get the Chef title, so I may go out and forage up the fish and meat to get that done too.
Zach Yonzon: I lost a bet with my wife which resulted in me sending her 1,000 Gold, leaving me at exactly 6 Gold, 26 Silver, and 3 Copper. Although I suspect she'll send back the money, I'll be doing some dailies just to get back some dignity just in case she decides to keep the cash because of my cheekiness. Maybe. I just as likely to end up PvPing and staying poor. [UPDATE: She kept the money and I PvP'd.]
Alex Ziebart: Either chaining Heroics on my Protection Paladin or trying to level my Shaman. Most of my guild alliance's Healers have started working on alts, so we've finally been hit with the dreaded Healer shortage. I'd like to help out by Healing some groups for people, but I can't stand healing on anything but a Shaman for extended lengths of time.
Alright, friends, what are you playing this weekend?

I feel Elizabeth's pain--trying to get a group for H Oculus is downright impossible sometimes, and being on US_Zuluhed with our TINY population just makes it that much harder. Good luck!

Gonna attempt to get my Hunter to 80 from 78 by tomorrow night, so we'll see how that goes.

Levelling fishing for the first time. I think it may cost me my soul. :/

When I level fishing I always play in windowed mode, make the window as small as it'll go and watch TV in my internet browser at the same time. I've managed to get my fishing to 375 that way. It works with a real TV, too. :P
Make sure your sound FX are up, but turn your music off so you can hear when a fish bites :) Also, try to fish where there aren't too many birds chirping or watching TV will be a bit annoying.
It still takes forever, but it's at least a little bit less soul-sucking than only fishing.
Good luck! My thoughts are with you.

I'm pretty bored. I might start a paladin.

Reveling in the glory of graphics turned all the way up on my newly-built first dedicated gaming computer. Did you know that the streetlamps in Dalaran flicker from time to time? I didn't!
Even dailies and running mid-30s friends through Gnomer have a fresh new flavor.

In-Game Battlegrounds this morning, then RL Rollerderby Battlegrounds this afternoon/evening
Tomorrow I have just decided to do similarly,
Gonna ping 20 with my Forsaken Priest so that I can get expert tailoring (I have 100 bolts of Silk just waiting for action)
then real life tailoring as I try to make headway on my knitting project of the past 2 months

Planning my guild's 4th anniversary bash. Woot!

Writing up another blog post, then continuing to get my alts honored with Sons of Hodir. And maybe taking my alt prot warrior or rogue into a heroic to see if I splat mightily.

My Wife and I always level alts together, so far we have a 80 Warrior/Shammy(our mains) combo, 70 Hunter/Hunter, 70 Pally/Druid and we are currently working on 3 new projects, Shammy/Mage, Warlock/Warlock and finally, Druid/Priest.
So that's what we'll be doing. Although, I am interested in what this bet was that you lost against your wife? and to be honest, I lolled a little at the 1k gold and end result.

Hanging out with a dwarf, did some nice leveling/RPing last night through Nagrand, and today is the usual comic day. =)
