IntPiPoMo: Too Many Shots of the Moon
I always take a lot of screenshots, but I had to laugh at myself when I went through my folder and realized how much I was obsessed with the sky and moon those first few days.

First of all, let me just say if you are reading this post through a feed reader or email, etc, you should really take a quick minute to hop over to my blog directly and check out my new updated look. The background & header have been changed to reflect the Warlords era and the theme color has changed to match them. It looks fantastic, if I do say so myself.
Now, down to business. We’re more than halfway through the month and I’ve only posted 5 pictures for IntPiPoMo when the goal is 50. I’m such a slacker. But honestly, I’m too damn busy playing the game to bother writing blog posts and also, I wanted to give everyone a little bit of time to see things so that none of my screenshots were spoilers. Which is why I’m going to start off a bit generic here and show you screenshots of an NPC conversation that is not relevant to gameplay or storyline. This is simply something I stumbled across while wandering around; one of those auto conversations between non-essential NPCs that gets repeated on a loop. Luckily as I was running by them on a way to complete a quest, the word spider caught my eye and I stopped to take a look. What I found was hilarious.
Blogging has not been something I’ve had a lot of time to do this past year, so when I saw a reminder on Twitter that IntPiPoMo had started I was torn. On one hand, it’s something I’ve participated in for several years now and something I enjoy doing. On the other hand, I already struggle to make the time to blog, I’ve played less than normal this year, and I have taken less screenshots than normal in game. After thinking about it a few minutes, I realized I couldn’t let it pass me by without joining the fun. Especially since in less than 2 weeks there will be screenshots from a new expansion to share!
I know I won’t be posting every day, but I will get my 50 screenshots in this month (and I usually do more) so let’s get things started with an introduction to IntPiPoMo for anyone who isn’t familiar with the event. It stands for International Picture Posting Month and was created as an equivalent of the very popular National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). IntPiPoMo isn’t specific to WoW blogs or themes, it can be any photo or image from any activity you love or game you play. You can learn more about how the WoW bloggers got started & sign up to participate by visiting Admiring Azeroth’s post “IntPiPoMo Is Back”.
I’ll start off with a few fun things that happened for me from early this year:
I revisited archaeology and finally got the Vial of the Sands
While doing so much digging, I managed to also find the bug mount
I had a little fun under the sea
Business Time celebrated their 5th anniversary & held an ugly transmog contest. This won me 5th place. You can’t even imagine the other winners. Lol.
I got my legendary cloak (first ever legendary for me)
Okay, that’s all I have time for now. More to come later this week.
