Being productive

I'm trying to work on this painting but it's impossible while my hands are freezing off. Mid-April and it's bitter cold. I found the best way for me to focus on my artwork is to park my character on WoW near an ore spawn point and to alternate tabbing in and looking for the gold marker, then working on my thing some more. I realize why I didn't want to be an artist; it's a profoundly lonely profession and I don't like being by myself all the time. Seems like WoW takes a bit of that edge off.

I've started tanking as a warrior and I thoroughly appreciate my pally so much now. I've tanked a total of 8 instances and it's starting to become repetitive. At least I'm understanding my abilities much more. I've discovered Intervene and I can tell ya, I'm not so great at it. Perhaps I can do a target of target macro that lets me run in...yeah that makes much more sense. AOE tanking is a real chore since my GCD is the only thing that is keeping me from building threat with my hover macro that lets me sunder my offtargets. I wonder if haste is the answer but even that won't be enough.

Okay now back to painting.
