Review: Night on the Sun (True Blood)

Spoilers...

Off to Northrend I go...again

I have 6 80s on Undermine (Horde) so Northrend (and Outlands) on the Horde side is boring for me.
But I am super excited to experience Northrend from the Ally point of view.

So far its been interesting. Spent some time discussing with Yereva where to go since ships are how you get to Northrend, not airships. Figuring out all the ships routes was confusing for just Azeroth ( what is Theramore...another capital?!?) It makes me feel like such a little Horde-ling...

I am always amazed at how big camps and towns are for the Alliance. Sure they re the same structure and model, maybe sometimes backwards just to be special, but they are incredibly large. Valiance Keep in Borean Tundra is pretty cool. I like the added effect of a ship in the middle of the harbor that doesn't really go anywhere. I wonder if all the "keeps" will be like this one, just like how Honor Hold is the basic structure for like, well...everything in Azeroth and Outlands. It doesn't help that your running up 7 flights of steps and miss where you wanna go either. I sometimes found myself missing the Horde's huts...or even the large Troll tree house like structures.

I also am excited because I can run into Star's Rest and not get attacked...woo can't wait for Dragonblight just so I can experience that one refreshing personal achievement.

I wonder what The Battle for Undercity will be like...

Instead of getting a new bookcase ... Beginning of the Search

I love to read. I have three bookcases and four boxes in the garage full of books to prove it. As I start packing for my big move Monday, I realized that all these books are such a hassle. Plus, carrying books around in your backpack can be heavy and annoying.

Thus, my solution is to purchase an eReader.

Here is what I am hoping to find in an eReader
-Good amount of memory for books
-Ability to highlight passages and enter in notes
-Expandable memory
-Formats: pdf, doc/rtf (optional but a plus)
-Decent battery life (at least a couple weeks.)
-ability to check out books from the library
- and of course, affordable

The contenders so far are
-The Kindle 2 by Amazon
-Nook by Barnes and Noble
-Aluratek Libre eBook Reader Pro
-Sony eReader Touch PRS 600
-Sony eReader PRS 300 (a smaller version)
-Kodo by Borders (I think)
