I love this song and the flash video for it. It puts a smile on my face no matter how far down in the dumps I am. Which is pretty far today, I woke up this morning and it had snowed. Snow isn’t bad but it is something I have been dreading and looking forward to this year. Oh yes, those things aren’t mutualy exclusive. You can want and hate something all at the same time.

Comedian Kathy Griffin said this about Oprah, “Now I have to give you my Oprah disclaimer; which is I worship her, I love her, I literally watch her show everyday, ok, and I think she is full of shit.”

So back to the snow, when it start snowing that means we are finally into that part of the year where spring isn’t that far off (good). Having to shovel snow and deal with all of the crazy drivers every winter (bad). So you see it is good that it snowed and at the same time bad that it snowed.

So I hope this will make everyone else smile as much as it makes me smile. Oh and my dream is to one day see Kathy Griffin perform live. I always keep my fingers crossed for my gay dream to come true.

So yesterday after working all night, I got home a took a 3 hour nap. I woke up and had one goal, attune my mage to Heroic MagTer.

It was a cake walk going in on my mage, all be it a different mind set of what to do. Ten tanked it for us and I didn’t worry about taking aggro from him at all. It wasn’t a gear issue it was an issue of I hand’t been in a 5man on my mage in so long. I actually forgot what the Spell Steal button looked like, lol.

After the attunement was done, I logged off to relax before going to out for dinner. About 2 hours later Hiyama and I walked out the door to meet Tenryuu, Chiryuko, Slainte/Bansidhe and Guineoch for dinner at an authentic Italian resturant. The food was whole experience was wonderful, it took a while but I realized the food was Sacilian inspired.

I think the people around us thought we were nuts for talking about WoW, but what do they know, haha. I love ho we can all relate on this level, we all can contribute to the conversation and I think it makes their friendship more meaningful.

So here is to good friends, great food and fun times. Salute.

Well Matt over at World of Matticus, has posted an interesting poll. Which do you use more for casting your spell and abilities the keyboard or the mouse?

Well Matt, my answer is neither. I use a Nostromo N52, it is a gaming pad designed for left hand use. It has 15 buttons, a scroll wheel, a 8 direction thumb pad and 4 keymapping states.

I do use my mouse for certain functions but 90% of what I do for either my mage or my paladin is done with the N52. If you take a look at my UIs you will see a block of 2 rows 5 buttons and 1 row 4 buttons. That is my block of N52 spells and abilities.

This block of keys is on the left side of my UI as the N52 sits to the left of my keyboard. Any action buttons on the right side of my screen are activated with mouse clicks. These are normally spells or abilities with long CDs or buffs.

I do use my mouse for turning my camera(freelook or moving), target selection and using objects. So I’m not completely able to eliminate the mouse from my gameplay, but really who would want to?
