Decisions?

As you can obviously tell, I've been posting less. This is due simply to the fact that my Real Life is taking over. And although it's making me very sad to think about it, there's going to be a lot of decisions I'm going to making pretty soon (as in the coming school year).

It's summer, and my whole Real Life is just taking off. I've been busy with a lot of band stuff. My band is really prominent in the area where I live, as is punk rock music (which we play). We played just last night at a huge venue that I'd LOVE to mention because if you know music, you'd know the venue. And then you'd think I'm cool. But I can't, because it would give away my top secret location. Anyway, it's really taking off for us (with a second CD in the process of being recorded and mixed), and we're pretty much getting shows left and right, and the demand for writing more and more songs is getting higher. On top of that, I've been semi-forced to set up a blog for the band/myself that has nothing to do with Wizard101, as well as a Twitter account. It's all for the goal of getting better connections in my area, which is very important.

So my band is taking up a huge amount of my time, and I'm happy! However, it's going to be more and more time consuming as the year progresses. But I'm worried that more things (like, oh, I dunno... SCHOOLWORK) is going to take up even more time. As you might know because I've blogged it before, I'm going to a private school next year. It's not that geeky of a school, actually, but the workload is going to be much more than I am used to. I'm going to need to really be on top of it... which brings me to decisions.

As I'm sure you all know, guys, I really don't want to quit this blog. And I don't want to quit WandCast either. But I think I'm going to have to pick one or do one more than the other.

Here is what I'm thinking right now: I think that I should semi-leave the blog, give it mostly to David, but have him let me post whenever I can without feeling completely obliged. I love WandCast just as much as Wizard 101 Info, and I think that I'm a vital part in making it the show that it is. I think it makes sense also to lean more heavily on WandCast because I'm a huge technical part of it. Anyway, whatever I decide to do, I can promise you that I'm still going to be an active community member whether it's blogging or podcasting, or a little bit of both.

Well? Let me know what you think of my idea to cut down on the blog a bit/ a lot and roll with the WandCast.

Thank you very much, guys.

Keep on Casting,

Before I kick off this post, let me tell you something that I've already told Kevin BattleBlood :) Let us call it my personal "tippy tippy" from me to you.


Don't buy a Mega Snack Pack unless you have money. This means don't even look at it in the Crowns Shop and say, "Gee, that looks mighty fine!" Don't even do that. Just take a deep breath and resist temptation. Unless, of course, you really wanna buy it. =


I decided to tell this to all of you because the Mega Snack Pack is even more addicting than I conceived when I first heard about it. Seriously, it's so nice. You watch your pet FLY through the levels. Once a Mega Snack player, always a Mega Snack player. I'm already trying to convince my mom that I just NEED $10 worth of Crowns to unlock a new level for my pet. That's right; I got Lord Zeus halfway to Ancient-town with a single Mega Snack Pack. That's some serious unfiltered awesomeness.

I've also decided who's going to get trained after Lord Zeus gets to Ancient. And the winner is...

My trusty old companion, Sir Jake! He's getting trained because of the potential he's got. Check out all those Epic abilities he's able to unlock. Man, oh MAN! Not to mention he's got the COOLEST running animation of all the pets in the Derby, and the highest pedigree I've seen yet. That's got to do with his potential, so yup.

For those who don't know about it, the iPhone 4 came out today! Gonna buy it, Friendly??? I linked it so you can check it out. Have fun daydreaming, everyone!

During my quest for the Storm Snowman pet, I achieved my highest damage points EVA. Here's the thing. I was in so much shock I didn't even snap a screenshot with the amount of damage I did. This is what I got:

Anyway, I'm going to send KingsIsle a message seeing if they can go back and see the amount of damage I got there. I know it was around 22,000, but a solid number would be quite awesome.

I'd like to take a moment to say a little farewell to Amber StarGem, the Myth Master, who is leaving her blog today. She was the original Myth Rep in the GWC, and she's always got a room at Dustin's house should she need it, with a purple Mander waiting on her hand and foot. You hear that, Amber? Don't lose touch! We really really like you! My other message to you: Don't delete the Myth Master. I know, you say you're quitting forever, but from experience I know that a time might come where you wish you hadn't deleted your blog. Trust me. Let it stand as a testimony to the awesomeness of you, Amber. Rock on.
