Her lovely highness Princess Theredras
Continuing the WoW theme from Monday, there are some days when you cut a swath through your foes and bards write epic poems about you to be sung in every tavern in Azeroth. And then there are those days when you can’t hit the (extremely) broad side of Princess Theradras with a dart gun, and you’ve made so many trips to the Spirit Healer she’s starting to charge you rent.
The last few days have been the second kind for me. My body’s gone on a frontal assault against its imaginary enemies again; I appreciate its patriotism but I enjoy the truce periods so much more. So I’m not going to push it, since I’m saving my energy for a little celebration next week. I’ll just send you off here with probably my favorite video on the Internet, an incredible animation called “Doll Face” by Andrew Huang that goes beautifully with VNV Nation‘s haunting song “Illusion.” (Here’s the movie with the original soundtrack.)
Here’s hoping for a ceasefire to the hostilities and a return of the DMZ.
Is it 2 years already? Holy crap! Hope you’re doing something fun. =)
Hi there.
I’ve been reading (and enjoying) your blog off and on for a few weeks now, and I’ve decided to finally make my inaugural post to say hello. So, hello!
Sadly, I don’t have much to say on the topic at-hand, but I did want to compliment you on your well-designed and excellently-written blog site. Well done! I’ve bookmarked this lovely little corner of the information superhighway (these days I can’t believe people really referred to the internet as that at some point..) and I’ll be returning regularly, and possibly leaving more comments! I did just now notice that the other commentators are using more traditional real-world names. Hope that’s not an issue. If so, I can change mine!
I’d add a bit about myself, but I have practically written an entire book’s worth of comment already, so I’ll just try really, really hard to be less verbose and end it here.
Again, well done!

Welcome to the blog, and thanks so much for the kind words! “Mutiny” is lovely, feel free to keep it. I go by “ZenMonkey” just about everywhere else, myself. Nice to have you here and by all means spiel about yourself if you are so inclined.
Gods I love that song from VNV nation. As for the person who created the video, Im suprised he hasnt been hired by the band to do more work. It always gets me right here..(Points to the empty place where his heart was.)…
