Subject:Sacrifices for our soldiers
Time:08:13 am
In order to show support for the troops, our fearless president has quit playing golf. Because, you know, going out and golfing after you've sent American boys to die isn't appropriate. You filthy draft dodging bastard.

Subject:Paladin progress check
Time:09:51 am
Paladin is currently at level 61.

She has outland greens, from the first quest tier (and one world drop) in the following slots:
head, wrist, legs, trinket (to be fair, the trinket is good 'til kara), weapon, shield, cloak

She has outland blues (same location) in the following:
shoulders, chest

The following slots need to be replaced (technically, everything will be, but these are the top prioirites):
necklace, gloves, belt, boots, 2 rings, 1 trinket

Current progress on goals:
HP: 5440 (need 10k)

defense: 350 (need 140 more - will get 45 from levelling)

dodge: 12%
parry: 11%
block: 7%
(total needs to be 62.4% for uncrushable, so I'm 32.4% short - though I will get some of that from defense)

spell damage: 42 (need 200)

Not terrible, I think

They are on crack.

Some of the requirements make sense, most don't. No one starting kara will have full epics, 1000 spell damage bonus is insane - Rasta, who is finished with kara has 850 - or 1600 healing.

Subject:State of teh warcrack update
Time:10:41 pm
On my paladin, I think my items are good enough to carry me to Outlands.

Also, after 53 levels, I had someone hitting on me (the paladin is a female).

Eww.

On the plus side, I did get a lot of loot out of the BRD instace I ran with a 70 warrior carrying us.

Subject:Just for kicks
Time:08:48 am
If I were looking for an addon that gives me the good quests, based on my level, where would I go?

I define good as:

- Quests that requires you to kill (more than 2 levels) lower stuff than the reward level (eg: "super stick" is level 54 but you can kill level 50s to get the drops, also there's a quest is Azshara that requires 4 drops from an areas patrolled by level 49-52s that yields 1/3 of level 53 when completed)

- Quests with upgrades (for me) that do not require going into an instance. Long series ok.

also:

Here's a decision tree for decoding the democratic primary:

http://flowingdata.com/2008/04/23/showing-the-obama-clinton-divide-in-decision-tree-infographic/

Hillary is taking 90% of the counties with a lower than 87% high school graduation rate. And making a close race of it.

Subject:it wasn't that obscure I guess
Time:10:54 pm
Was speaking with the big boss about the 'sound and fury' surrounding a project we were working on and he pointed out that it "didn't signify nothing".

I was impressed anyway.
