I haven’t counted my total number of screenshots I have officially posted during this fun IntPiPoMo event, but I’m quite sure I made it past the required 50. So since it’s near the end of the month, I thought I’d go ahead and wrap this little project up with some pretty scenery. I like to play around with the coloring on some of my shots to make them look a little more artsy. Hopefully you guys will like some of the following scenes.
This is my Blog Azeroth Thanksgiving post. It was a great idea for an event and I really enjoyed participating.
What I decided to do is write a poem, but the thing about my poems is … when I write them, I hear them in my head and they all have a specific cadence to them. I’m always worried that a reader may not find the same cadence I find in them, and then the rhyme won’t sound the same to the reader as it does to me. So I’ve taken the liberty of making a recording of me reading it the way I hear it in my head. Or something. And just in case it’s not easy enough to understand what I’m saying, I have included the entire poem below the recording. But I do recommend you listen to it before reading it, if at all possible.
My Thanksgiving Poem
This is a story all about how
My life got flipped, turned upside down
I’d like to take a minute, just sit right there
I’ll tell you how I became the author of a blog called Elfi’s World.
…
It wasn’t by rhyming for a living, that’s for sure
Although I really can rhyme and soon you’ll concur
In fact, maybe I’ll just make this whole post a poem
And school you on rhythm while I talk about Gnomes
It’s Thanksgiving today and I’m doing my part
To be grateful for others and spill my heart
There are so many bloggers who I’m thankful for
Who have inspired my writing and who I simply adore
I’m thankful for Amber and her Friday Flow Charts
I’m thankful for Vid and all of her arts
There’s Miri and Jamin and Rades and Cynwise
With their lore and their humor and their pretty blue eyes (I’m assuming)
I love Windsoar, Angelya, and Restokin too
And so many others like Rhii, Zinn and Beru.
I can’t name them all, there’s too many to name
But I can’t forget Zel cause that’d be a shame.
But my favorite blogger is the one called Alas
Even though she pretends to be such an ass
I know it’s not true, I can see through her act
I love all her posts and that is trufax.
So to all of these people and to so many more
I give you my thanks for your words, wisdom and lore
Reading your blogs has brought me such joy
And that wraps this rhyme up, see you later home boys.
It’s been almost a year since I first entered Uldum and witnessed all the amazing cut scenes and fun quests there. It seems like there must have been more to this one than just the 2 shots I grabbed, but I can’t remember for sure. I finally have an alt that’s getting real close to visiting the Cata zones so the plan is to do a better job capturing this stuff my next time around. And hopefully the print screen action won’t break the cut scene and show my UI over it like what happened with my old pc and old graphic card.
Oops, I’m rambling. On to the goodies.
I’ve always heard the saying “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” so I’ve decided to continue with the cut scene screenshot theme for my IntPiPoMo post today. I apologize for the fact that these shots don’t look as good as they could. They were actually taken on my old graphics card at less resolution.
Yep, I’m back with more cut scene memories as my 2nd contribution to IntPiPoMo. Enjoy!
