I liked the book better, but it almost always works that way. And, in my head, you were a lot taller. And someone else. And there were more people on your couch. But other than that, I really liked it. Especially the part about blog trolls. At my consulting company, we've been saying for awhile that a good blog troll is the key to better traffic. That's why we offer <a href="http://www.sanestorm.com/html/blog_troll_.html" rel="nofollow">blog troll development services</a>. Seriously, though. The guys you game with are totally hot. Nice film.

To paraphrase Loveslave, you can "swing, heal, stun, mez," and be pretty effective at all of it. I'm convinced it was the best class in the game. Speaking for myself, I have to admit I'm probably a product of the whole "women as nurturer" class role, but I also like the challenge. Any healer will keep you alive in most fights, but a good healer makes for a successful evening. There's nothing better than sticking that one heal that would have otherwise resulted in a party wipe. Or so I'm told. :) The 2 Hello Kitty refs are not in the credits. Or I guess there are 4 Hello Kitty references counting the credits. Tipa, you (or a loved one) must have posted under your site name at one point, because we just did a database dump of everyone who had ever posted.
