    Try World of Warcraft free for ten days It’s been difficult to keep myself from reopening my account. I just keep thinking about all the fun I used to have with my friends chasing down level thirty newbs with our mounts to pwn them. When I quit, my warlock alter-ego, Sivori, was level 43. One of my favorite tactics was to have my succubus run up and seduce the opponent with a kiss so they would be mesmerized. Then I’d dump some high damage spells on them and fear them a couple times so that they ran off uncontrollably. Ah, memories. By now all the people I played with have advanced to 60 if they’re still playing, that is. It’s crack though. I must stay away.

    iWorkWithFools Rant about stupid coworkers. “She could get an Academy Award for her performance as a tired yet plucky single mom, struggling against all odds to be the best darn homemaker and mother she can. But listen closely to the personal calls; the content revolves around her soliciting free childcare for the night/weekend so she can devote attention to the pursuit of happiness (hers) and the boyfriend du jour.”

    Whimsical mouse taxidermy. Yeah. I like the mouse version of the martyrdom of Saint Sebastien.

      That blurb about the plucky single mom seems pretty sexist to me. Would someone really say the same thing about a single dad who wanted to hang out with his girlfriend? Is the fact that it’s a boyfriend “du jour” instead of a committed long-term person really important when it comes to making a value judgement about this person? Who is this person who listens in on other people’s personal calls? Etc.
