Two, and three.

Caitles over at One Among Many is an incredibly talented artist, and she recently drew up some adorably cute Boomkins. I HAD to have one, and it's finally arrived: I keep on forgetting to turn my pictures right side up .... perhaps a kind hubby will fix that for me ..... And of course, a picture of the Cuteness, the Orclette herself.

Obviously we no longer play Horde side. Wulfa has a 70, 45, 32 and numerous other alliance alts now. I've got a 63, 46, 20, 16, 11, 8, 8 Alliance side(all my alliance alts are new since we moved over to Kael'thas, wulfa's playing two characters that already existed before our horde characters were started). But we are two and a half ORCS. Not two and a half random alliance characters. This makes it hard sometimes when I see links to my site or I see a horde shaman etc. It is kind of like going back to your home town and seeing people you used to know and they ask you how your ex-girlfriend is doing. They don't know you split up. You don't really want to talk about it. Etc. Sometimes I think fondly about getting on my Horde shaman and leveling a bit. Nothing ever comes of it. And even less will in the future as I get further and further away from wanting to play those toons. There are things I like on the Alliance side. I like the Dreanai. A lot. Even th...

So the metallic taste in the mouth, the dizzy spells-Ketosis. It's what the body does when you go on a low/no carbohydrate diet. The body starts burning fat exclusively .... some people think this is a bad thing, others are rather gung-ho about the fat-burning. I dislike my mouth tasting funky. Hopefully, since I've moved on to Phase 2 of our lovely diet, the taste will go away. I was asked a while back about my opinion on the Zone Diet. My very first thought ever about that diet was "percentages? way to complicated. I can't do that diet." Nevermind that I can tell you the caloric value of most foods we Americans come in contact with. Or that every year I buy the new and updated Calorie King pocket reference book. Basically (and I went to the website to refresh my memory) it's about creating a desirable balance between all your hormones. When you compare the Zone, South Beach, Mediterranean, Perricone Prescription, and several others, you'll find they'...

Before you get all excited about me dishing about WotLK, let me mention that the only thing I know about the expansion is that you get to lvl to 80. The place is called Northrend. There are death knights. And some pretty cool hunter stuff. And that be it. I didn't plan on thinking about WotLK. I'm still not thinking about it. I find, however, that I'm very much planning for it. See, when BC came out I had a lvl 30ish hunter. A year or two later I get her to 70, decide I want another 70, take a look around at my characters, and cry. Nothing even close. So this time around I want at least one or two toons within striking distance of 80. So Beowulfa, long-retired shadow vixen, has come out of retirement. She's currently 1/3 of the way to 31 and enjoying herself immensely. VE is awesome. Her gear looks hawt. And she's optimum when she's killing one mob at a time, which is my preferred play style. We is happy. The goal is to get her to 60 before WotLK comes out. I...

Doodle mentioned this... http://www.spooncraft.com/ ! !! I likes it.

TJ responded to my email and asked something about reader participation... so here goes: Wulfa wakes up way before me and does 'stuff' ... I don't know.. I'm sleeping. Around 7:15 I wake up...I suppose... anyways...I'm at work at 8. My job consists of two kinds of days. One in which I'm directly responsible for responding to support calls. The other in which I'm responsible for special requests for research or custom programming. My day is drastically different depending on which kind it is. For days "on phones" I spend most of my day clicking my refresh button and calling customers. As with all support most of the calls are fairly simple things. We gossip a lot about how simple they can be. As always .... printers suck. We hate printers. For the other days I spend my day researching/writing programs. HAH.. that is a joke.. I spend my day leaving message after message on people's machines and being bored. The days when I -do- have programming ...

http://newsweek.washingtonpost.com/onfaith/undergod/2008/08/what_rick_warren_could_have_as.html I am quoting from the above article by David Waters. The link will bring you to this article. All of his words are in blue: 1. Warren asked: "Does evil exist, and if it does, do we ignore it, do we negotiate with it, do we contain it or do we defeat it.?" [Edited out commentary please go read his article for the full context] A better question: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a Christian pastor, said 'The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it.' Do you agree? As Christians, how should we confront violent evil such as terrorism?" I agree that that question was retarded(the first one). And I really like his response question. I also like how he leaves no question that we -are- going to confront it. 2. Warren asked: "The Civil Rights Act of '64 sa...

Go read this article: http://newsweek.washingtonpost.com/onfaith/undergod/2008/08/what_rick_warren_could_have_as.html Come back and tell me what you think. Please. I'm writing my thoughts up now and will be scheduling them to post tomorrow but I wanted to see what you thought as well. Thinking back on it I'm not sure what fired up my mind about this particular article, I think maybe it was the questions themselves. I'm also not sure what thoughts I expected you to have on this. Any and all thoughts are appreciated. Even ones I disagree with. Even rabbit trails.

Why did no one tell me how awesome macros are? Holy freakin something. I am sooo hooked on macros. I've had only one macro up until this weekend: a misdirect one onto my tanks because I'm not fast enough to target them while in battle. FYI-each of my tanks has their own little macro with their own cute little picture. 3B's is pink. Well, I was running around Nagrand leveling up my new warp baby Suki and I was getting tired of having so many buttons to push so I googled hunter macros. Found an easy one that cast Hunter's Mark and then pet attack. And while I was there I saw one for the trio of Auto Shot, Steady Shot, and Kill Command. I enjoy weaving my shots, I really do, but there are times when there's just too much going on and having one button would be awesome. So I copied the macro and named it my "Smorgasbord." I'm never ever going back. The mob died sooo fast. I've never seen Wulfa shoot so quickly. I'm eager to run an instance and see ...
