Clouds thinning by morning

Feeling much much better this morning. I have been trying to find an explanation for feeling so lousy last night... less caffeine, lingering crud from the weekend, full moon, etc etc... but I think that there's no special explanation: I just felt bad. This is not satisfying to the logical part of my mind, but all the other possibilities just don't ring true.

I think it helps that I did again wake before the alarm, though I had a bout of chills about 1/2 hour into my morning. I'm hoping that garbage goes away as the weather gets a little warmer.

My WoW backpack has 16 "item slots", each of which holds anything from a rabbit's foot to a 6-foot mage's staff to an armored chestplate. These slots fill up insanely quickly - collecting additional bags ASAP is practically mandatory - so I'm disinclined to believe the "upcoming patch notes" that claim we'll be seeing a "scaling" pack which starts at 10 slots and gets to 24 slots at level 70. 10 slots isn't even enough for a newbie character.

(I love how, in loot-based fantasy gaming, the same pair of armored trousers somehow fit both a 3.5-foot tall gnome male, and an 8.5-foot tall tailed alien female. Imagine how easy clothes shopping would be if all clothing fit the moment you put it on!)

Since I'm WoW-gabbing this morning, here's a great post on the official forums by a player who's compiled a short history of Azeroth, giving players some background for a lot of those quests where something more seems to be going on. WoW lore's pretty darn rich and full, even for a series of 4 video games. It may be no Silmarillion, but that's a plus for some folks.

People use to make fun of me because being a plate wearing healadin one would expect that person to go mining/Bs or mining/WS. But No, Im a skinner/LW.

Now that I can make Large space quivers/ammo bags, LW/mining bags and some insane leg armor kits, they aren't laugh so much anymore.

If you need help look me up on uther. (shrewlet lvl 70 paladin)

After a certain point, your professions are nothing but money makers. All the gear you can craft is outstripped by drops from instances fairly quickly.

I know a lot of Warriors that went Hippy Stardust (Herbalism & Enchanting), just cause they paid for themselves in terms of selling herbs and DEing drops in instances for enchanting mats.
