Elephants on Parade

Hello. Meet Hannibal:

Yes, that’s right… Sailor Boy and I hit level 40 tonight with our adorable Draenei couple (it was only a little bit annoying and required a couple of rounds through one particularly frustrating instance). But it was worth it, because once we hit level 40, we got our licenses to drive… elephants!

Or, in this case, elekks, which is like the video game version of the elephant.

The elekks come in three colors: brown, gray, and purple, and since I’m already pretty purple, I decided to go for brown. Also, the gray looked really sketchy in the shady area where you can buy them. But once in the light, they look kind of cool. So now part of me wishes I’d gone with a gray one, like Sailor Boy did:

What do you think?

Speaking of fantasy worlds, has everyone checked out the new website from debut author C.L. Wilson? Her first fantasy, Tairen Soul Book One, Lord of the Fading Lands, is due to be released this October. I was an early adopter to the Tairen Soul club (which, um, means I’ve long since claimed my member of the quintet) and read this marvelous epic a few years ago, before the brilliant people at Dorchester bought it and published it.

It’s amazing, guys. One of my favorite books of all time. Definitely the best book I read in 2003. Highly recommend it. Put it on your wish list for fall.
