[Vaguely humorous comment extolling the virtues of the best World of Warcraft forum thread I have ever read.]
Edit: Sadly, this post has gone the way of the dodo. It will be missed.

World of Warcraft launched their RP-PvP servers today. I guess they were a hit because I had to wait in a queue for an hour to get in to make my characters, and I noticed a third server of the type before I left for the night. I did manage to make some characters, finally. I made four just because I can’t decide what I’m going to play yet, and names are pretty important on an RP server. I didn’t want to lose the chance at the names I’d like best, though some things I often use were quite suprisingly already taken, like Threnody, Hiro, and Hana. I expect them to be taken in the first few days, but they’re not usually gone right off the bat.

Vacation over! I was away for a bit, and then took a couple of extra days off from writing once I was back — a couple of extra days off from pretty much everything. I barely even played a game until this past weekend. Even this, I’m going to probably keep short (and my entries over the next few days as well). I somehow managed to wrench my shoulder and typing is excruciatingly painful. Pain builds character though, right?

I’m sure we’re all watching the news in New Orleans. For many of us, it’s hard to conceive of something as enduring as that city being devastated to the extent it is. One thing I found interesting, amongst all my news hunting, was this blog. His world has altered (along with others there) and yet he keeps blogging, keeps working, keeps going. It’s an interesting read, seeing things from the perspective of someone that’s in the midst of things.
A couple of other things I’ve found interesting are how people are using Craigslist and other such sites to offer shelter and other assistance, and to find missing loved ones. You keep hearing on the news about how awful things are, but these offers of assistance remind you how good some people can be.
