McCain picked Palin to be VP.

I'm actually excited about this pick. I love the fact that she's hardcore pro-life. I love the fact that she has an amazing track record of anti-corruption. Below is a positive bio. http://weblog.signonsandiego.com/weblogs/afb/archives/027011.html Currently there only seems to be two kinds of articles about this pick. One is EXTREMELY negative, saying she has no experience and she is just a trick-pick to try and capture women voters, and things of that nature. The others are EXTREMELY positive and glowing. For myself, the second I started reading about her track record I got excited and wanted to run out and vote immediately (knee-jerk response). Sure she doesn't have much experience but what she has done with the little she has seems to be -far- more than has been done by anyone else. We'll see how this turns out, but this is the first time I've been really excited about a republican candidate....ever I think.

Warrior skills and the ones I use and what I think about them.

The skills I use when smashing skulls are: Execute Overpower Thunder Clap Heroic Strike Sunder Armor Retaliation Charge Battle Shout There are plenty of other skills available to warriors at this point but to be honest... I dont' use them or care about them. Execute Everything I had seen before getting this skill sung its praises. I'm highly disapointed. Right now I often can't even get it off because my next blow kills whatever I'm fighting. I lose all my rage and can't use it on the next fight or to recast Battleshout. I used it in my rotation last night but I think I won't be using it at all tonight. Overpower Now...this I can totally get behind. This is an awesomely awesome skill. I use it whenever I can and other Sidhe Devils can attest I'm constaintly complaining that mobs don't dodge enough. Thunder Clap. Dood it makes cracks in the ground and looks totally awesome. I'm sure it helps my survivability but I use it because it looks cool.

Orcs

Thoughts thoughts thoughts. I'm trying hard to drop Dampanza the elf. Dreanai and Orcs are both from Outlands, so Dreanai are practically Orcs. That small twisted reasoning aside: I read a small wrath spoiler that has me chomping at the bits to be an Orc again. But I'm pondering a few different things. The new playstyle that the wrath talents seem to suggest, when added with sharing itemization with hunters, drives me away from wanting to play a shaman. Instead I find myself thinking... what if Dammerung the Orc Shaman, found his way to outlands, got corrupted and then breaks free and is a Death Knight? Not sure how I feel about that. I love my warrior and am taking the time to read up on warrior dps and try and figure out who he is. So far here is what I have: Dumas is a very studious kind of toon. He's the guy in the library writing the journal stuff. But no frippery introspective journalling. Here is an example: Darkshire is surprisingly warm for a shaded forest. The mon

Never Enough

At 5 I drag myself out of bed. Coffee is somehow made. I make it to my office, sit down with my chocolate, and start to peruse my morning blogs. These are made up of mothers, homeschoolers, pastoral types, and some that are just funny. And none of them have been updating their blogs. So I switch over to my WoW bloggers. And guess what? Not a whole lot of action going on over there. I depend on you guys to wake me up in the morning so I don't fall back asleep! Everyone needs to blog more. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS IN YOUR BRAIN.

White screen of doom?

My dearest Macbook died yesterday. Everytime it starts up it can't find some key file. So all you see is a solid white screen and a flashing folder icon with a question mark. I called the local Mac service store and they said it was most likely a failed hard drive but to try re-installing the OS incase that was somehow the problem. The actual tech didn't think that would be of any help at all. Regardless I plan to try that when I get home. If it doesn't work, and I don't think it will, then I will be taking the machine to the shop on Monday the 8th to get it looked at. At least my parents bought the three year warranty before I purchased the thing from them. Until then don't expect much in the way of Wulfa daily posts or Wulfa playing WoW while I'm at work. Orclette doesn't handle anyone being on the other computer well. And desktop PC's are hard to play from your bed while Orclette is napping. Maybe just maybe wulfa will be able to borrow Moon

I don't like Tuesdays

It's maintenance day, which means it's "I no longer have any excuse I HAVE to clean my house" day. It also means that when I woke up this morning and thought "we could mebbe hit 38 today on Beo" I was horribly crushed when I remembered I couldn't do my usual hour of playing in the wee a.m. Beowulfa is lvl 36. Her enchanting is at 277 so she can DE most of the stuff the big kids get in Outlands (finally!). Her tailoring is still at 225 .... Wulfa spend a pretty penny on Beo's enchanting, and she doesn't feel like doing dailies right now, so money conservation ftw ...... Did I mention that my lovely Smorgasbord macro increased my DPS?! Completely made my night last Thursday when we cleared the first half of Kara. Wulfa got jealous when she watched the Onyxia fight over Moon's shoulder ... it just looked freakin awesome. I don't see having time to do all the attunement stuff tho ... and Damm's on call this weekend anyway. Blargh. We migh
