wow, really?
Reuters – “The defense bill that President Barack Obama will sign into law on Wednesday contains a new provision that would pay Taliban fighters who renounce the insurgency, Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin said on Tuesday.”
Obama’s new way to get jobless out of the recession:
Step 1: Join Taliban
Step 2: Renounce insurgency
Step3: Profitz!!1!!one!!!

more bos!
Beware of Safety was awesome! Wow, what a great show. Sara said it was the best show she has ever seen/heard. So good, in fact, we are going out of our way this weekend to see them again in Providence, RI the day after the PJ show. Priceline.com helped us out with a $55 room at the Hilton. Can’t wait!! (Thanks for closing with The Laughter Died!!!)
In WoW, Headless Horseman continued to wipe the floor with us. We did get to 77 and trained cold weather flying to help us get to 80 faster! It’s nice, at this point, to actually start seeing your gear in Rawr! We also did Upper & Lower Blackrock Spire, got the Jenkins title, and zerged Orgrimar to get Ragefire Chasm completed. Also blew through Stocks with FoF but Kimberly & Kevan were sick so we called it a night. I hope they feel better soon! I’m sure we will have no problem with Blackrock Depths!

BEWARE OF SAFETY
Tonight I’m going to go check them out in Philly at the M-Room. I’ve been looking forward to this for months and I can’t wait! Never seen these guys live but their CDs are awesome. Dana is coming with Sara and me, still waiting to see if Tom, Sara, and Justin can make it too. Anyone else who reads this (lulz!) stop on by! I think the show starts at 8PM with BOS coming on at 9ish. Tickets should be $8.
Ele & Idonea are up to 74. We plowed through CoT and Sethekk with Kevan. Hopefully he can help us out with the next few too. We finished Borean Tundra and 90% of the way through Howling Fjord. We also finally got the FP to Dalaran. Hopefully tomorrow we can get back to our FoF group – it’s been like two weeks! Hopefully Kevan feels better quickly. I still have a bit left of this lingering cold; it just won’t die!
Here’s to an awesome show tonight and fun & productive weekend!!!

and then…
Sorry for the stretch between updates. Sorry to leave you hanging on such a crappy last post too ?
Well – had a lot of fun with the nephews last weekend – Jacob turned 6 so that was a lot of fun. It was also Sara’s brother Matt’s birthday so we all got together for that which was a good time too. Her other brother David’s birthday is this weekend so I think he is coming up from VA so that should be good. Got a cold from Luke which hasn’t been terrible but sticking with me. Luke actually went to the hospital Sunday night but hopefully is doing better. Remind me to call my sister!
In WoW, Sara and I got Elemefehoh and Idonea up and past the 70 milestone and are now sitting at level 72. Trying to see if Kevan is around tonight to run CoT:OHF or Sethekk Halls. We barely eeked out Auchenai Crypts with Sara being OOM for the last minute of the fight and wiping right after the last boss was downed. I looted him and then was killed by his mirror which I thought would despawn once we killed the boss. We got the achievement so I consider it a success. If Kevan’s not around we will probably finish up Borean Tundra tonight.
Other than that, not a whole lot going on. Till next time…

Fox New Headline
“Iran has the info and details to produce a nuclear bomb…”
Wow – really? They have the internet too??
From Yahoo Tech News
That’s some pretty wild stuff. If they could adapt this to GPS units…
One day there will just be a car mount for your iPhone or whatever, and it will do this plus navigate automatically. I’m not sure I’m ready to have my iPhone drive my car automatically yet though! We will need some sort of device that can be used to communicate with other people, perhaps verbally, though – I don’t know what they are going to use for that.

really??
Taken from an article on Yahoo regarding Rio de Janeiro winning the 2016 Olympic nod:
“Then, at least $78 million will be spent on seven temporary structures for beach volleyball, triathlon, marathon swimming, race walking, road cycling, weightlifting, hockey, mountain biking and modern pentathlon.”

OK, race walking? Is a sport? An Olympic sport? Really? Apparently since 1906, wow!
So I’ve finally taken the plunge into Twitter. I’m using an application called TweetDeck (http://tweetdeck.com/) so I can view Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace updates in one application instead of having to go to the respective pages. It also updates very regularly. It takes a small hit on my old PC but those of you with the latest and greatest probably won’t even notice it. My Twitter account is DrewHunter33 and you can feel free to follow but I mainly use it for news updates. I am trying to keep my blog for my personal stuff. Feel free to reply if you have a Twitter account and I’ll follow you!

WOTD
capricious – governed or characterized by caprice : impulsive, unpredictable
Found the word by someone’s comment on my photoblog. Their exact comment was
“La naturaleza y sus formas caprichosa” and I liked it!
