O Hai!

So yeah, a while back I had a WoW blog. It was a nice little blog, met some fantastic people, and had a great time with it. Then I picked up, moved 2 states over to a much smaller town, helped start up and am now managing a store instead of being a graphic designer in The Big City. It’s got it’s perks: no more 1.5-2 hour commute, all the books I want to read, people I like being around. It’s also got it’s drawbacks: no anime stores, no Krogers or Publix supermarkets (god how I miss them), and the occasionally frustrating situation of trying to find [name food item] without getting odd looks. As a result, I’ve gotten “creative” about trying to find things that I want/crave and get substitutions in place.

Like bagels: In Atlanta, I had an addiction to Einstein’s Bagels. Feel free to tell me that so-and-so’s was better, but dangit, I loved Einstein’s. They were something that made me oh so happy on days that I knew were going to go not so fun for me. For my birthday this year, I recieved a KitchenAid stand mixer. A truely excellent gift and one that I’ve been very pleased to use often since I got it. But the first recipe that I wanted to try on it? Bagels. Result? Oh dear god nomnomnomnomnom! Perfect flavor, perfect chew, perfect everything! There’s not a bakery in town that makes them, and there’s nothing at the grocery stores here that can come close. So, I make my own now.

So what does that have to do with “once upon a time ago, I had a WoW blog…”? Well a couple of weeks ago, I started having less and less time in my life, so I stopped playing WoW for a bit. And right before that, I’d really slacked off blogging about WoW, so between the two events, I decided that I’d revamp my blog. More Nightravyn, less WoW.

Don’t get me wrong: I’m still heading back into WoW (hopefully soon), and I’m still gonna talk about WoW on here. But now it’s not a “WoW blog” per se. It’s a gaming/anime/manga/knitting/computers/random mutters/art/cats/family/life blog now.

Come on… did you REALLY think I was gonna quit gaming? Ha! /cackle and starts plotting return to nuking everything in sight in a few days or so
