It started out as a general purpse blog. But it seems to have devolved into a one-topic affair. So in the interest of keeping from being monotonous, the general World of Warcraft update will be short. * I am now Level 44. * Additions to the Hit List: Ripsi, Gazou, Galpha, Ashanta, Darkmane, Great, Marro, Xevious, Deearrspider, Stargazer, Zerres, Pir, Makerboilers, Tino, Bitailed, Sig, Davidaid, Urghak, Cain, Liquor, Darktemplar, Moomoocow, Raige, Aistrel, Kyuss, Devilshammer.
