Exquisite Turmoil

I’m feeling quite happy today. Dan and I have been being very careful with our diet and exercise lately (blame me, want to look extra good when everyone comes out for the big birthday party in August) and, of course, he drops like 5 lbs a day x.x And I.. yanno.. gain weight. Anyway, this morning I was down two lbs from my starting weight (which puts me at 132, for those who are curious to know.. because anyone but Dan reads this :p).

I am planning a delicious feast tonight — we’ll start off with a chilled yogurt soup (with fruit and mustard seeds) and follow it up with lamb kebabs and a dish of spiced garbanzo beans, and then we’ll end the whole meal with some yummy rice pudding. Depending on how much I love the foods, I may or may not post recipes.

In addition to food and weight loss, the guild is doing spectacularly. Last week we downed Netherspite on our first true attempt at him (we attempted him the week before and the instance servers crashed and booted us all out, so I don’t really count that as an attempt). We then proceeded up to Prince and killed him on our second try at him. After that we headed on down to Nightbane (considered by most to be the true boss of Karazhan) and kicked his ass on the first try. Then, this week, we proved it wasn’t a fluke and downed all of them again. Nightbane posed a little bit more trouble this week, but he still went down.

We are also going to make a go at Zul’Aman on Monday (provided we get signups) and see if we can’t down the bear boss. A lot of people seem to have a negative feeling about it, but I’m about 95% certain that the bear *will* die on Monday. After we wipe the floor with his face, we’ll move on to the eagle boss. This will be a bit more iffy (and I hope to god that everyone reads the strat that Dan posted on the forums) as the fight requires a lot of movement and attention to detail. If everyone can keep their acts together, though, I think we’ll be seeing more loot from Zul’Aman ^_^
