hidaman,judge, yukimi, katzchen, and myself) finally did our Zul'Farrak run over on Blackhand. Everything went pretty smoothly, although there were a few snags beforehand; apparently, my instance of WoW didn't like druids shapechanging, so it rendered them invisible. Quick exit and restart, though, and all was well. Once judge was visible again, there was some drunken bear boxing (one of my favorite pasttimes in WoW), and all was well. Almost wiped out while fighting Gahz'rilla, mostly because a patrol respawned right behind us mid-fight, but we still pulled it out for the win. All told, I ended the night with around 95,000 more experience, about 20 more gold, a new cloak, and a nice shiny new spear -- a good haul overall.
Beyond that, life is pretty standardly happy. I've discovered that I'm oddly fascinated by the show It Takes a Thief on the Discovery Channel. It's really eye-opening as far as realizing what burglars will take. They don't carefully hunt through items, looking for that one rare and valuable treasure. Instead, they ransack rooms, tossing things left and right, grabbing anything that looks like they can fence it on the streets. Shoes, empty (but stylish and expensive) purses, power tools, computer components, DVDs, dogs (yes, the thief's run off with someone's dog before)... nothing is safe. It's also neat to see the new security devices that the build team will put into the house, although in most cases the owners then neglect to use them. Every now and again, though, a family really takes the lessons to heart, and when the break-in expert returns unannounced a few weeks later, it's really reassuring when he finds that he can't get in.
