I know this is probably spam, but you are the first one to make a comment that’s actually relevant to the post and not have a name like ‘Buy Water Wings For Your Turtles Here!’ so you win the spam lottery! *grin*

And if this isn’t spam, I’m glad you liked the post and please let me know if there’s any topic you’d like me to go over and I’ll sneak it into the queue.

Martha,

Thanks for the link! And great post!

What a cool idea to do a wall mural of all the Druid cats! In high school, I turned one wall of my room into a dragon. I was super sad when my mom painted over it after I moved out. Perhaps another one is overdue. heh

There are a few things scattered around my house that I’m very fond of and this topic really got me thinking about how I’d like to decorate my house. Dad got me an animation still from The Fox and the Hound and now I’m itching to get a picture from Up of the house floating over the valley, or to sit down and create a feral druid bas relief—just something to add to the walls instead of just the shelves. *ponders*

…I’m also tempted to grab some larger paint brushes and just do a full wall mural in the computer room of all four druid cat forms. ^_~ heh

I’m like you, in that I don’t really have a “nerd swag” budget, but after a recent trip to some delightfully nerdy friends’ places, I realized that a little expenditure here and there would make my house feel more homey if it, say, had a public transportation map of Middle Earth.

Thank you so much for not only the link roundup, but the wonderful summaries!

I am of the solemn opinion that the hobby merely goes into hibernation… then you find the box of horses and it starts all over again. ^_~ *grin*

Some of the Live Show customs out there are drop dead stunning. It’s going to be stiff climb to get my own skill levels back up—if I can even reach LSQ this time around.

On a good note, there are a lot of new Stablemate and Micro Mini horses for me to customize, so it’s like finding a whole new questing area hidden off behind a waterfall. ^_^

Wow. I thumbed through Model Horse Blab and that was wild. I used to collect/customize/etc back in the 90s. Still have a box of them… somewhere… in the basement.

I was pretty active on Blab back when I was running my old customizing business and I’ve been gearing up to really get into the hobby again. So much has changed since I was gone! O_O;;

And the poor Druid horse is finally coming onto the workbench again, so I’m hoping to have him finished by the end of Feb. *crosses fingers* After that I think I’m going to do a Night Elf druid on the G3 Mustang and then a Tauren on one of the drafters. Not sure which mold fits a Worgen yet… *pokes body box*

What’s amusing is that I’m also planning on doing NaNoWriM horses this year to raise the donation money for NaNo, so all three of my major hobbies are due for a collision! *grin* Now I just need to write a WoW horse-fanfic for NaNo and I’d be set… ;D

Ah, Model Horse Blab! I read/posted there for two or three years — under a completely different alias, of course. I haven’t been there regularly for quite a few years, though… basically about since playing WoW started taking up the free time and discretionary budget that I used to spend on shopping for and painting Breyers
Sadly, the year that my parents gave me a Dremel for Christmas was the year that my intense model horse hobby phase was winding down, and I haven’t ever actually used the thing.
I did a lot of painting, though, but I wasn’t exactly a “pro” about it — I never bothered with sanding and gessoing and whatnot, just painted right over the OF with crafter’s acrylics. I did once paint a black chestnut with a facial marking inspired by the Silvermoon phoenix symbol, and I’m still thinking about making a Paladin costume for one of my horses, but that’s as far as I’ve gone with crossing over WoW and model horses.

Not a problem! I try to make sure there’s lots of LinkLove on all the BA shared topics posts… I just don’t get to do many of them since I don’t do much end-game content. ^_~;; *sheepish grin*

And the more I’m thinking about it, the more I think that it would be possible to meld the WoW art styles with some ‘I can wear this to work’ clothing. Things normal people would dismiss as an interesting pattern and the other gamers would get a chuckle out of. *ponders*

And huzzah for old fen! I had much love for Geocities back in the day, heck I was there shortly after it first started up and I hung on to that early adopter numbered web address with pride. *wistful sigh*

It’s very very odd to think of how much the net has changed since I first got on. The alt. newsgroups are ghost towns, the BBS’s I lived on are extinct, Yahoo Groups came and went (more or less), heck I even remember the Days Before Google™ when everyone maintained their own link pages.

Heck, the fact that I got my first name as a website address (should have got the .com too! Darnit) is pretty much a testament for how long I’ve been wasting time online. *grin*

Thanks for the link

I am thinking that I should wear some business casual wear. I think in the near future there might be more talk about WoW+Work mashup.

Its nice to find another (old timer) from a domain since the 90s… my wife started her blog around 98 as well, I am more of a 2000s blogger but I had a college hosted webpage, geocities, etc! ah… the days of blinking text, lol.

Looking forward to reading more of your stuff.
