Prayers for rain.

In Uncategorized on September 24, 2009 at 8:51 am

One thing that has disappointed me about Northrend is the weather. Why does it never rain? Certainly if it can snow it must sometimes rain in some of the warmer zones? I always thought the rain in Azeroth looked, sounded, and felt fantastic. Even Outland was a bit of a disappointment. It does rain in Zangarmarsh, but never in other zones where you might expect it to like Terokkar Forrest and Nagrand. Does this bother anyone else? Well, I’m a bit odd perhaps in that I always like the rain.

You shatter me
Your grip on me
A hold on me
So dull it kills
You stifle me
Infectious sense
Of hopelessness and
Prayers for rain
I suffocate
I breathe in dirt
And nowhere shines
But desolate
And drab the hours all spent
On killing time again
All waiting for
The rain

I always loved the way Simon held his bass so low in performances. How about…

“I think it’s dark and it looks like rain” you said
“And the wind is blowing like it’s the end of the world” you said
“And it’s so cold, it’s like the cold if you were dead”
And then you smiled for a second

Robert Smith must play WoW. He’s probably a shadow priest. Anyway sorries about the 80’s flashback. Take a guess at what tape I had in the car this morning.

Bad blogging.

Sigh. I need to find some material for my blog other than giving a certain healer a hard time (although as far as I am concerned, that’s a pretty good muse). Mmmmm…how about three things I like this week?

1. Ehiopia Yirgacheffee coffee. It’s got caffeine, and it tastes good!

2. Aveda shampoo. Expensive, but smells good!

3. The video clip of the Sound of Music (Do-Re-Mi) flash mob in the Antwerpen-Centraal railway station. Makes Jess feel good.

Hmmm…that’s kinda boring (for you anyway). Suggestions?

You know that dream where you are raiding naked?

Keredria is not ready.

Makawee: What’s up K?

Keredria points discretely at her waist.

To Keredria: I don’t understand.

Keredria points again discretely at her waist.

To Keredria: You need a new [Eternal Belt Buckle]?

From Keredria: No.

Keredria gestures with a circular motion near her stomach.

To Keredria: Food buff? Everyone has one from what I can tell.

From Keredria: No.

To Keredria: Oh your new Tier 8.5 robe. Yeah I noticed that. Very nice.

From Keredria: Sigh. No.

To Keredria: Then what?

Keredria gestures insistently with both hands around her lower torso.

To Keredria: Uh, you’re pregnant?

Keredria glares at Makawee.

From Keredria: No you dummy! Your water shield has slipped! It’s spinning around your knees!

To Keredria: OMG! F***ing cheap mail garters!

Heh. Well actually that conversation never happened, but my water shield was indeed spinning around my knees. Bugs are amusing sometimes.

I speak for the trees, for the trees have no tongues.

Well, actually she does, and a sharp one at that. Please hop over to Tree of Life and wish Keredria well on her second blog anniversary.
