This can't be good...

Well, I was gonna type up more blog posts but apparently my left hand gave out. I'm thinking it is carpal tunnel related so I'm going to give it a rest and let it recover before I do anything involving typing. Might even need to take a break from FFXI until this recovers.

Thankfully there are a lot of TV shows I've missed so I can just catch up with them to keep myself entertained. I wonder what I should watch...

Anyways, I really really hope this is not permanent. I typed this blog post with one hand. ; ;

Oh yeah, I added a Twitter feed to the right. Was going to use it as an HNM notice thing for LS members but I think I'll just use it for personal stuff.

See you guys later and don't be like me and end up with CTS!

Yet another filler post

Various web projects, a huge MMORPG to play and I'm all out of Sunkist! ;_;

Anyways, I'm keeping this short and sweet because I need to get in bed...

BLM I got to 70 with some help from Lissy and Bobbyray. Campaign XP is really the only thing tiding me over. Rarely do I find a camp open on BLM for me to even solo so it really sucks on my end.

Still, the Usukane Head 25 piece is far from my grasp. It will require a bit of effort in my group to get to the boss in time to fight it as fast as possible. I'm so close to Usukane Head, I can taste it! I had to sell my Osode though to buy the Ingots. Truthfully, I think it was worth it because I rarely WS on Osode except when I'm on /THF. Many would say Osode is best for SAM to WS in general, I kinda don't see the difference but then again, I never really parsed it.... and then again, impulse got the best of me.

The motivation to level MNK is still there but I will not start until my BLM is properly merited. Yes, this will take me a LONG time to do but I figure I'm in no rush.

One more Tier 3 win for Einherjar for access to Odin... Can't wait.

Xarcabard sucks, where's my girlfriend's RDM AF2 Hat? :(

Minor Rant: I can't really see why someone would up go to you, being the most rudest person in the world, and inquire about your LS. I don't blist people except for the whole shouting RMT spam way back when... but still! Guy got my nerves... and I'm pretty sure he was just itchin for a quick item and then jet.

I've been playing Traumt Center 2 on the DS. Been playing with double stylus for XS ranks on hard... so far, having a hard time.

I had a few people poke me while I was doing my own thing, saying they're fans of my blog. :3 Thank yous~ I promise I'll write something more detailed later when I'm not swamped up with things!

Other than that.... I had a pretty okay 4th of July weekend in FFXI and in RL.

Oh and I've been watching Awesome Video Games over at YouTube. Check them out, might be worth watching inbetween HNM Windows. @_@;

This is some crazy .hack shit right here

So I was doing Salvage and we totally forgot about how Discoid can cut people wide open when we don't have enough people in range. So I got tractored and my game froze... and... I tried logging back in to Mogknight... Couldn't get in, I restarted my compy just to reset my connection to the server. I came back, still couldn't log in after 5 minutes...

Photobucket

o_o; 10 minutes later, I finally logged back in but the run was over. :(

Crazy .hack shit right there...

The numbers are in...

Apparently they did it all weird but... lets just go with the flow~

Rank 5: "1" - 837417 winners
Rank 4: "44" - 60461 winners
Rank 3: "379" - 6854 winners
Rank 2: "1017" - 1234 winners
Rank 1: "47396" - 56 winners

:3 Numbers from all servers combined.

Well... I didn't think they would do 5 drawings... I guess that kinda snuffs out people's plans for pooling it all. Take it as you want but I'm gonna go through my... marbles now. @_@;

Congrats if you won, too bad if you lost. :3

Edit: OH and before you get too excited or too disappointed... these numbers are read from right end. So if you got a marble that says "27344", you won a rank 4 item.

As for me.. 2 XP scrolls on a mule.... but 40 slots returned~ I'm a winner!

Usukane 3/5... Wait a second...?

@_@;

THINK AGAIN...!!!!

While I'm all excited and happy about getting the next piece of Usukane done... there's just one huge problem...

...

My wallet is pretty light.

:(

Unlike the Usukane Feet and Legs, the "material" item required to create the Usukane Head is exponentially much more expensive. We're talking about 100k to 2m ratio here. So, this will take me some time to get but fortunately, I didn't get the 25 piece yet and we're not going to attempt it until I get my 12 Ingots out of the way... All I have to say is... I dread the day where I end up getting the 35 piece... because that is going to cost me A LOT.

Anyways, today actually ended up being a fairly uneventful day, mostly because in DownRightFierce, Fridays are our freedays. But in any case, nothing was really going on in my end. It wasn't until later on where we did a really fast Limbus run (Temenos 1st Floor) and then the Salvage run where Hammerblowsandsucksatdroppingusukane35head dropped... the Usukane 35 Head. @_@ At this point, I really do feel that I'm getting lucky... but at the same time, I really don't think people are looking too highly at me since I'm running through Usukane at a horribly fast pace. People are gonna lose interest and probably suspect something from me.

In any case!

I'm gonna be reorganizing my labels for better categorization. Going to be merging anything Sky related into Zilart, anything Limbus/Sea/CoP Missions into Promathia and so on and so forth.

Also, I'm going to be putting a label for the more informative posts that are less about what I've accomplished and more about actual helpful posts that can act as a cheatsheet or something... whatever term they use nowadays. Not sure of a name for them... I'll probably figure it out after I'm done with the sorting. Check back later and that category list should be shorter!
