Haven't played all that much since my last post (enough to hit 999/1000 with Exodar, though :P) but spent a fair bit of time in Alterac Valley during the last double rewards weekend. Being Alliance, we won literally every time - probably ten for ten matches. It's an interesting BG - it's kind of nice for me to be able to sneak off and capture a mine if I feel like it, or run with the pack, gather a bunch of items, then turn them in once I die. That's mostly what I was doing, and I got into a pretty good rhythm with it. Even got to run the beacon out to get air support during the one close match - that was satisfying, and a perfect mission for a rogue.
I doubt I'll be doing it much during off weekends, because the queue times are just absurd, but I will probably spend this next weekend running AV. Gotta get that rep to exalted, too, after all :P

Playing, Not Posting
Although not all that much, really. I'm trudging through the endgame, and I'm really astonished at just how much content there is in BC - I'm at 68, and am only maybe halfway through the third zone of six. I've finished with Zangarmarsh and the SP/UB instances for the moment, and have gotten through some of the Terokkar Forest content, although I haven't touched Auchindoun yet.
Every so often I get bored and go back to Azeroth to clean up some quests - I'm working on some of the Blasted Lands stuff at the moment - but I'm holding off on all the Argent Dawn grinding I had planned because the next major patch doubles the rep gain rate. Which is GOOD NEWS, believe me, because I'm a completist, not a masochist.
I'm slowly checking off gear upgrades, and I'm in about half blues at this point, which isn't too bad. The gear comes slowly compared to the pace of the content, though. I suppose if I cared more I'd be grinding more instances and fewer quests, but I want to wait until 70 to at least have a shot at the really good stuff - why spend three days in Underbog to get a pair of pants that will be replaced in two levels?
Overall, still having fun, although real life has been intruding. It is summer, after all.

Busy Busy
Been playing quite a bit in hotel rooms, lately - traveling a lot. Consequently, I haven't gotten much of substance done.
- Hit 66
- Finished most of my BRD quests - just need to do the Windsor escort quest
- Finished (solo) one Scholo quest
- Hit honored with Sporeggar, friendly with Kurenai, and and very close to honored with CE
- Am about 2500 rep from being Exalted with all Alliance factions
Most of the above is pretty much just vaccumming the cat, but it is kinda fun to do level 20 quests and one- and two-shot everything. I play these days so I don't have to think about anything.

Busy Weekend
Out of town again, so I don't know how much I'll play this week, but a couple of bullet points on the weekend:
- Ran LBRS with a pickup group, which ended up being a moderate success - it's an interesting, if long, zone.
- Ran Underbog with more wipes than I usually like, but we made it all the way through, I got a nice new set of throwing knives, and dinged Friendly with Cenarion Expedition.
- Got through all the Midsummer quests except for the dungeon-run one, including the steal-the-enemy-fire ones, and now have the pieces of a totally over-the-top angel-of-light suit, complete with halo :)
- Finished the Draenei starting areas (as much as I could - many of the quests seem to be race-limited, which was disappointing), finished a number of other nagging quests, and am very close to hitting Exalted with Gnomeregan, and am confident that I can hit Exalted with Exodar fairly easily after clearing Zangarmarsh.
Not exactly racing towards 70, but I enjoy setting my own wacky goals :)

Noobishness
Spent the last couple nights running the Draenei starting area - it's definitely, like the BE starting area, a step up from the first set. More interactivity, more interesting quest lines - I'm enjoying it. Even if they nerfed the rep rewards, unlike ALL THE OTHER starting areas :P

Quick Wins are Fun
I had to work a couple hours of overtime last night, so I hopped on, ran one WSG with my pally, won it, and hopped off. I'm catching the rhythm of Warsong Gulch as a healer, as opposed to a stealth ganker - Blessing of Freedom? Rocks. I still need some practice before I'll be really useful, and I'm certainly not twinked enough to be really uber, but I'm having fun.
