Thing 1: AC decided to poop out yesterday (when it was 87 out >p ) Greeeaaat. Supposed to get up to 90 today. >pppppp And the repair guys won't be able to be out until late morning/early afternoon. Man, I dunno how you deal with those temps being your lows, Tara D: I can't even fathom that it's still that hot anywhere in *October*. Just makes me want to run flailing about the room wailing (waily!waily!) about global warming.
Thing 2: Blizz did a video for the Lament of the Highborne song and man, it makes me weepy. ♥♥♥ From their write up at the website:
The vid itself is at http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/downloads/movies.html and is the third entry down. What I really dig is how I've *seen* those turning in that quest kneel and whatnot as Sylvannas sings--maybe not the big crowd in the video, but handfuls of people as they'd wander in and hear it going. I know I always knelt, or saluted, or some such.
Aah, watched the Blizzcon 2007 highlights, and ♥ man, really reminds me what a cool time that was. Yay for gatherings of geeks~ Gaaaaah, want Wrath of the Lich King XD;;

The exact origins of "Lament of the Highborne" have been lost to antiquity. Certainly the melody pre-dates the War of the Ancients, in which the song served as a lament for the fallen: a tribute to their steadfast bravery against overwhelming odds. Millennia later, the high elves of Quel'Thalas sang the lament, largely unaltered, in the Troll Wars. Here, too, the elves ultimately proved victorious, but they would not remain so. A plague of undeath swept through the human nation of Lordaeron in the Third War and converted many citizens into mindless undead minions of the Lich King. This army--the Scourge--invaded elven lands and decimated the populace, some of whom were raised into undeath and forced to join the Scourge.
As leader of the last elven defenders, Sylvanas Windrunner suffered a terrible fate: her spirit was ripped from her body and transformed into a banshee. When the Lich King's power faltered, however, she and other undead were freed of Scourge control. She has since reclaimed her body and become queen of these undead rebels, the Forsaken. Although her heart is full of bitterness, she cannot forget the people she once loved... the kingdom she gave her life to defend.
