Though its been around seven months since my trip to Japan I still talk excitedly about it and share various observations with friends and coworkers. Here’s a little video I came across while browsing around my profile on vimeo.

Crazy as it sounds I love listening to books on tape. During my commute to and from work, though a bit short, I listen to books on tape on my iPod. Seeing that Legend of the Seeker recently premiered I jumped back into the Seeker of Truth series by Terry Goodkind, and decided on taking off from book four Temple of Winds. Crazily enough I even listen to that while im on the computer browsing the web or even playing WoW on my lowly level Mage or Paladin. In any case I’m not good at story synopsis or what not so you can always jump into the authors page and take a peak at the the storyline.
In terms of the television series I must state that it really has not put me in awe or amazed me in any way. It was sort of what I expected out of Hollywood and only wish the author and the series the best of luck and success. I personally didn’t like it mainly due to the extreme changes in the storyline and the poor production, and acting of the show. Though I’ll admittedly stick around to watch a couple of other episodes I doubt I’ll be tuned for the entire season. It almost reminds me of Xena Warrior Princess.
Ever since the release of 3.0.2 there has been a whole bunch of people “pugging” Vanilla and Burning Crusade raid content on a daily basis on the Sentinels server. I am guilty of doing the same as I’ve done Onyxias Lair, AQ40, and some others. It also amazes me that people are on a crazy badge of justice collection spree, knowingly that their gear will be phased out in less than a week. In a sense it is great to see this because a whole lot of people who otherwise wouldn’t have ever seen the old or current high end content are actually given a chance to experience it. People are being a little more social, and united for these causes. Heck I’ve even see attempts at the opposing faction leaders. It’s great, it has brought life back into the game. Though its unfortunate I won’t be purchasing the expansion at release I am looking forward to more endless questing and a never ending To-Do list of achievements to complete.
Just thought I’d share this video I found on Digg earlier today about Palin.
