Latch Hooked
Sorry updates have been so sporadic lately. But I started playing World of Needlecraft, and you know how that goes. I keep promising myself that I’ll quit, but then I’ll get a Apocalypse Thimble or find some Pinking Shears of the Gathering Storm, and then it’s back on another Appliqué adventure. I’m a level 47 Couturier now, but when I hit level 50 I swear to god I’m going to retire my Bobbin Of The Zodiac for good.

Pretty funny. But as I read it I found myself thinking “I would totally play that.”

I sent it along to Doug, who has had a WoW addiction for a long time now. He adds:

My Epic Crochet Hook gives +25 to hit vs. Sheep.

Although I dabble in a bit of online gaming, I can seem to get behind the MMORPG life. Sometimes there are clever moments, but generally there’s lots of shooting and competing and killing and dexterity. I don’t like contributing to the gender gap, but there are lots of boys playing these games, no? And the games tend to be designed and marketed for males, no?

Anyhow. I’m just saying, give me a virtual Paris of the 1930s, let me use my cyberfrancs to buy Hemingway a cup of coffee, then take in a Josephine Baker show before kicking the gong around in Chinatown (or whatever! stay with me!). As my fabulous hat shop in the 6th Arrondissement makes me rich and powerful, I sacrifice my safety for the greater good of the world, by infiltrating Axis ranks as a fan dancer, and ultimately stopping World War Two before it begins — with a love-army of sparkling unicorns. Huzzah! Game OVER.
