When Is A Win Not A Win?, or: Dear Elune, Twin Val’kyrs 25H Is Evil

I’ve had to move, change address and do a bunch of other things that have precluded me from having much WoW time this month, but it’s been enough to have a few cracks at Twin Val’kyrs on 25H.
Dear sweet merciful Elune on a cracker, but that fight is horrible.

Raid For The Cure, or: I Love Male Tauren in Pink

Just had to pass the word on this.
John, the Big Bear Butt Blogger, who runs one of the best druid blogs I’ve ever seen, has a guildie who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. He and his guild are thus sponsoring the Raid for the Cure, on November 14 on the Kael’thas (US) realm. There [...]

However, it also got me thinking about my [...]

Why I Stay, or: Ah, Memories …

I want to make something clear. When it comes to choosing, if I could, between the Azeroth of the Burning Crusade and the Azeroth of Wrath of the Lich King? I would pick the Burning Crusade Azeroth in a heartbeat.

Moonkin PvP, or: No I Don’t Have Full Relentless, You Moron

Lately, with a slight lull in our raid progression, some of my guys have turned to PvP to fill the time. (And it is nearly all guys; I don’t know why. I know a lot of girls that love to PvP, but this recent craze has been almost all male.) At any rate. I applaud [...]

Welcome!

First thing you ought to know? If you want to read the whole post of anything I say, click on its title.
Second thing you ought to know? I’m quite a nerd in many respects.
Now. What the hell is “bellonae”, you may ask?
Well. Bellona (buh-loh-nuh) was the Roman goddess of war. She is sometimes known as [...]
