Zzzz (RL & FFXI) Lots of screenshots (even a WoW one!)

In a strange reversal of how things have been lately, RL was somewhat sucky but FFXI rocked. Last night I didn't get to sleep till way after my usual time (~2.5 hours late), so I wanted to "sleep in" this morning. (Sleeping in for me means until 8 AM.) Darned idiot neighbors made so much noise they didn't just wake me up, they shocked me awake. At 5:30 AM. And once I'm awake, I just can't go back to sleep. (Believe me, I tried.) So I got about 3.5 or 4 hours sleep last night. So so so tired.

Yesterday and today are sort of mixed together, I'm doing so much skilling it's all meshing into one big jumble of skilling. :P Sweet and wonderful merrkitty went out with me early this morning and beat up crabs in the Tree. Then a massive mob of people joined us. Really. Like 9 people. c.c Everything died just way too fast. I got a few levels of GS though, and some XP as well!

Once the skillup broke up, I used my printed-out maps to try to find a coffer to get an in-game map, but they seem not to have been up. Oh well. Oddly (very very oddly) I'm sort of comfortable getting around in the Tree. I have no idea why, as I still get lost in Ronf and such.

Then the nice folks of the Aurian-Ead-Draque-Niala-Chip static (Merrkitty standing in for Draque) offered to let me join them today! On one hand I was rather useless (I'm 67 and they were all 74-75), but on the other hand it was fun! And I got oodles of XP! And (very nicely) it was way more challenging than a usual XP party (I never watch a tank's HP all that much in random XP parties, but it was nice to be able to stun and maybe let Niala get a Cure-whatever on herself!). Other than when Last Resort, Souleater, or SA were in effect I did nearly no damage, so I really was just leeching off them, but they didn't kick me out so it all worked out! ;)

Between skilling and the A-E-D-N-C static I got up to GS 195 today. zzzzz 30 more levels to go! So so so far left to go, but I've come so far, too! I started at 120 just, what, two weeks ago?

After that I finally did the Nif-recommended Pulling the Strings solo ENM BC. I had been wanting to do that for a while, but it fell off the radar when I thought I'd still get aggro in Oldtown Moblin-Place. Oh boy, what an exciting fight! And so totally worth doing! The only bad thing was that I had to pay 60K gambling to get the key item to get in. c.c A 10K bet would get you a 50-50 chance to get the key item, so that I had to bet 6 times before winning was... annoying. (Sorry for cursing on the LS.)

( How the fight went, including 5 displayed screenshots of the text. Mini-Maat fight? {Yes, please!} )

Other screenshots:

Agas - a floating eye thingie. While he's a quest NM and so not a "real" NM, I included him because I actually got a good screenshot of him! I'm almost never in front of a mob (whew!), so I can't usually get good screenshots. (He's the Sleepga II quest mob. We helped kill him twice while skilling. Both times for a pair of nice JP people. No clue how they intended to kill him alone, he was really hard even with a full party.)

After the Pulling the Strings BC, I needed to get the taco (3 hour food) out of me on the off chance I got a party invite. I went to that NPC in Jeuno and... hee! This won't hurt at all! I'll just be flushing your bowels with thousands of tiny lightning bolts!

And look! A WoW screenshot, too! Well hello, ladies~ Me flirting with the human women. Yes, there really is that much size difference, it's not just a funky camera angle thing. Humans in WoW are tiny! (Or I'm especially large, *strut*strut*.)

So very tired. Even though I'm only 8K to next level (thanks to all the XP from skilling, the 2K from the BC, and the XP from joining the static today), I think I'll just relax for the rest of the night. I tried to get a party for 2.5 hours, but few folks are XPing and I'm just too... sleepy. zzzzz

Edit: Oops, forgot to add something to this long long post. While skilling a RDM had an odd sword:

It was very strangely shaped, sort of like a pirate's sword. But it was the text that caught my eye. I wonder what it's supposed to say, if anything?

Animal Crossing links for Merlee

merrkitty, here are the Animal Crossing screenshots I mentioned this morning.

http://www.hot-hot-hot-catlove.com/ac/ -- main page, random stuff.

Here's as suntanned as I was able to get: Very very tanned and a little less tanned, but a much bigger picture.
