Slight Redirection

Life, as it is wont to do, has taken a turn for me. This place has been dormant for a while as work and career issues have taken a larger part of my focus. The biggest of those issues being the process of applying for an MBA. I'm most of the way through that now, but while I was neck-deep in it, I found other people's recollections of their experiences app'ing for b-school very helpful, so I feel like I ought to return the favor.

I'm doing it here, as opposed to starting a new locations for a few reasons. First, I like the name, and I'm loath to give it up in an internet where name-space is rapidly becoming a very limited commodity. Secondly, I'm going to endeavor to keep this going to record the experience of actually being in an MBA and all the eccentricities that come with this stage of a career, and I don't think it's accurate to try to whitewash that and pretend that my interests are purely school and career focused. People don't think in a vacuum, and all my more frivolous interests are just as much a part of my experience and thinking as the more weighty ones.

That said, I've culled a lot of the more esoteric posts from the archive. Many of them were very old, and of rather focus, and would now only be of interest to people deeply immersed in certain pastimes, and even then only for nostalgia's sake.

So, here's to forward progress.

Inevitable Wrath

As expected, I have no where near the willpower to resist another WoW expansion, despite having Fallout 3 and L4D on my plate, with Mirror's Edge and PoP on the horizon. Worse, my new death knight is one of the most fun characters I've played, and also gives me an excuse to finally see horde-side BC.

Undoubtably more will follow.

Never Read Your Old Posts

Navel gazing with Google Analytics, and I saw that someone had linked to the first (and so far only) part of my Kara guide a few days ago (still far and away my post popular post, once again proving that people don't give a crap about you, they just want useful information dammit). Clicked through to the page by instinct more than anything else and began skimming what I read, and let me say I really really need to stop posting from work where I'm less likely to run things through a spelling/grammer checker. Because good lord is some of that disgusting English.
