Well, had myself another birthday yesterday (the 24th), and dinged 26. The day before, I was able to see Gruul and Magtheridon for the first time, and ended up getting [Legwraps of the Aldor], which also gave me one of my favorite set bonuses.

So what'd I get for my birthday? Nothing yet... on Sunday I'm getting Mario Kart for the Wii, and GTA IV for the 360 on Tuesday. Also, in my email inbox this morning was this message:

So it looks like Unbarc will soon be on my desk under a glass dome! I'll post pictures as soon as I get it.

Little update about the site; I added a section in my About page that links to some of my good friends in the game.

I'm slowly getting back into editing / upgrading things on the site, so hopefully I can get some more of my ideas out there.

Not a big update, but an update none the less. I got into Kara for the Chess event and for Prince, and got something from my Wishlist: [Ruby Drape of the Mysticant].

Not much more going on then that, I haven't played much this week. One thing that I've been playing with is changing how I update my profile. Currently, I use an addon that pulls out all the data you see (plus more), and just parse that. It works great, but only when I can remember to upload the file to the site in order to be parsed. What I've been doing is seeing what kind of data I can pull off of the WoW Armory's XML files. It's not quite as detailed as the addon I use, but all it would take to update my profile is a click of a link, which can be done from anywhere, whereas I currently have to be on my computer that has WoW installed... Guess it all comes down to how bored I get.

Logged on yesterday, and someone asked why there were so many dead bodies / skeletons around the badge vendor over on Isle of Quel'Danas... so I went to investigate. Turns out, Smith Hauthaa started selling the new loot, and people were just being stupid by standing on her, and flagging.

Anyways, I couldn't decide what I wanted at first, but I ran back to my bank, grabbed 75 [Badge of Justice], and turned them in for [Boots of Incantations].

Now if my server back up (Kael'thas, along with many others) my goal today is to get enchanting maxed... even though I know it'll be expensive. I've got 35 skillups to go.

Did another run through Kara last night, got another 23 , and it seemed to be Pally-loot night, because we didn't have one in the group... at least 4 healing plate items dropped. Anyways, the only thing I got was this: [Formula: Enchant Weapon - Sunfire]. Currently, I'm only 320 in Enchanting, so it looks like I have some work to do! Hopefully I'll have the required (and EXPENSIVE) mats by the time I hit 375;
12x [Void Crystal]
10x [Large Prismatic Shard]
8x [Greater Planar Essence]
6x [Primal Fire]
1x [Primal Might]

Haven't been doing much since my last post, but I made a couple of little updates to the site today. I added an Item Wishlist page, which I'll periodically update to show what I'm trying to get, loot-wise.

I updated a few of my Macros too, so have a look at those.

Lastly, I thought the following comic was pretty funny... especially if you've ever done any PvP.
