Fried Computer, dragonfly rapists, and Taichi Pandas!

OK! It has been a few days since I have got to take some time to blog!
I ran LFR with my friend Jay and her hubster this past Tuesday  (in Warcraft) and when I logged out my hard drive took a crash so now we are in the process of fixing it.  I am lucky enough to have a mini keyboard that hooks up to my tablet so that I can still get on the internet! :)

LIFE:
August 11th, 2015
So! Today started off great! It was a cinnamon vanilla pancake and coffee morning! The weather has been tolerable so we have been trying to get the babes outside to soak up some fresh air and sun . We have had a horrible mosquito infestation this year and it feels like we have to base our life around flying zombies. One of us usually has to sacrifice their warm fleshy body to the mini blood suckers as a diversion so the other parent can load the kids in the van when we head out . It is a crazy sight  I am sure. I normally choose to run around  breathing heavy because they are attracted to carbon dioxide, heat, and some other chemicals we breath out, so running is the perfect thing to do !
Thank goodness trees block us from our neighbors view!

So today we avoided the damn mosquitoes and communed with the dragonflies. Mr. Sky loves chasing them around until they are too tired to fly and then picking them up for our daughter to hold. They just rest on her finger until they get up enough energy to fly off. I used to think this was cute until I refreshed myself on Dragonflies! HA! They are murdering rapists according to a site I found! Crazy! I went searching for more info on dragonflies today when Mr. Sky could feel one he was holding bite him. It did not hurt at all, but he wondered if they all did that as he had never felt it before. So to google I went and vuala! Murdering Rapists.

"They're Rapists

Most animal species go through some sort of courting routine before they mate; dragonflies don’t have that much time—there’s food that needs eating. So they forcefully mate with the first female they come across, and we mean forcefully. A male will first locate a female by he flight patterns to make sure she’s the right species. Then he approaches from behind, clamps his forearms around her neck—sometimes with a vicious bite to subdue her—and signals his body to begin transferring sperm to the right place. See, male dragonflies store sperm in a segment at the end of their bodies, even though their penises are higher up. So once he’s in position, the male will start the semen transfer."

I know! But the good thing is they eat mosquitoes, the nemesis of my summer.... If you want to see the 10 brutal facts about dragon flies, check it out here! So yeah, we spent the day unknowingly hanging out with some of mother natures most sketchy of insect characters....well I guess dragonflies have more in common with humans than what I had originally thought? 

GAMING

So as I stated up above, I am WITHOUT my precious computer! That means NO Warcraft. No heroes of the Storm. No GuildWars2... I immediately went to my phone to see what I could play in the absence of my beloved MMO's and I found a mobile MMORPG called Taichi Panda. it is toted as a Dungeon Crawler Hack and Slash. You get to pick from 5 diffeent characters; A Taichi Panda, A Glorious Warrior, a Treasure Hunter, a Gunslinger, and A Fox Mage. I chose the Fox Mage. I chose her because I wanted a ranged class that was a female. There is a Gunslinger character but it is a male. I wanted to play a female toon as my first character. You can not pick any customizations, you are stuck with the skin that you are given, atleast from the start. The Fox mage has some really awesome talents and talent graphics. One of them is a tornado that sucks up your enemies and swirls them around. I am currently level 7. You do the tutorial till you are level 6 and then you get a little more freedom to do stuff while still getting helpful prompts. So far I have been really impressed by the graphics, the ease of controlling my character and all of the options. You control your toon with your finger on the touch screen of your device. A little joy stick appears and then you get to begin controlling your toon. On the right bottom corner of your screen are the attacks for your character. I have been doing solo questing so far. They are like a mini instance where you kill mobs leading up to a boss fight at the end. Each event I have done has rewarded me with gold and gear. A nice touch at the end of completing the run is where you are shown three playing cards face down that can award you additional gold or gear. I am tryng to level to level 20 so I can join a guild and see how that is in game. So far though, for being mobile? It is really bad ass!
If you decide to give the game a try, let me kow! I am EsmeraldaSky in game =D

Well thats it for now!

Good night!

Esme out!
