Weekends, weekends, wonderful weekends

, ,

After coming over this Friday's shock, we went down to try to fetch a pizza from the local pizza shop, but it was for some reason closed half past eight on a Friday evening. What's up with that? Instead we went to the grocery store and purchased some Fjordland, which is pre-made food that you only need to boil in your pans and voilá you have an advanced meal.

We've also been chilling out quite some with World of Warcraft, where we've started levelling a Warrior and a Priest, me being the latter. It's alright to do something else until the expansion, but everything seems to point to the pre-expansion patch coming this Wednesday, so whether we'll continue to play on our small alts or do something else, I am uncertain. We are now respectively level 27 and 26.

A song has struck my mind as pure beauty. Somewhere over the Rainbow and the version Israel Kamakawiwo'ole performs. It's awesome in every way. I've embedded it in the bottom of this post so you can watch it yourself. Anniken was so surprised that I hadn't seen Wizard of Oz, so we followed the yellow brick road and watched it last night. Although I think Kamakawiwo'ole, the man with the name that just rolls ever so good on your tongue, has the best version of the song I've heard until now.

Member of the week :OProject work: So far, so good.

I must admit that it was never my favorite song, but you are right, it's a good version. His voice is amazing! :up:

He really does sing very nice. Interesting mix of two songs, and the melodies are a bit different to the originals.

But you have to ask yourself - how heavy is that guy?

Edit: according to wikipedia sources http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel_Kamakawiwo'ole the singer at one point was 344kg and 1.9m tall.
He died of weight related respiratory illness.

What server are you messing around on?

Robert Jacobsen 6. October 2008, 11:44

In World of Warcraft? Dragonblight, Horde. :smile:

@Zaphira - I agree. The original is about what you can expect from that period of time, but Kamakawiwo'ole's version is so sweet and intriguing. It might be the fact that he is only using his ukulele together with his voice that makes it so special. :smile:

@Quinnuendo - He was heavy, yes. Quite so, but he seemed to handle it okay. According to Wikipedia he was always happy and forthcoming. People even named him "The Gentle Giant". :smile:

PvE.. haha :smile:

I leveled a Troll Priest to level 54 on Lightning's Blade. That's enough PvP for my part. Besides, I'm more of a PvE person. :wink: Though... I'd love to be on a PvP server.

I play pve on a pvp server (Vashj) You can still go SW like us, it's just more fun when you can gank also :)

Robert Jacobsen 6. October 2008, 17:56

SW? Sunwell? :smile: Might be my current headache screwing up my known abbreviations. :X

Aleksander 8. October 2008, 08:55

Your abbreviations are strong young one :wink:
