thistlechaserI'm rather grumpy for no real good reason, other than I ate really poorly today. Not bad as in "ate a whole cake in one sitting", but more like "think I could possible get one meal in today?". Had grapes and nuts for breakfast (but not Grapenuts, which would have counted as a better breakfast) and had popcorn (and a few more grapes) for lunch. By the time it was a reasonable hour for dinner, I was ready to eat my cat. I grabbed god-awful pizza on the way home (Round Table, the only place on the way home). They're so bad that every time I get them I say I'll never, ever go back... but then I do because they're the easiest place to go. As I was eating I was thinking "Okay, so the sauce is awful, but the crust isn't ba-- no, that's awful, too. But the sauce and crust are awful, but the cheese isn't too-- ugh, that's just horrible, too.".
When I was ready to go online I found that there was nothing I wanted to do on WoW (and of course nothing on FFXI -- that never changes), but I logged on to WoW anyway. I hadn't done a quest in three days or more (just leveling by killing things/farming/leveling Pitch), so I figured I should do one (bad bad sign, I hate when "should" is connected with a game), but couldn't find one I wanted to do. Eventually I settled on that Halloween one, but was annoyed endlessly by it. (It was so FFXI-ish! Spend hours running around from here to there for no reason other than to run around! And man, I hate the Undercity. It took me an hour just to find the damned inn there.)
I have bad luck with Halloween quest rewards, and the first one I got from tonight's quest answered one thing:
Who is the Giant Pumpkin? ...why, it's me!
My "costume" turned me twice as big as usual... and orange. So I was a bigger, ugly, orange bull-man. At least I have 29 more uses, so maybe I'll get a better one at some point.
Hunter foo: I was spending nearly an hour every day to get meat for my pet (he sometimes goes through a stack a day, so I like to keep two stacks on hand), but I found a cheap source of it: In Orgrimmar the meat vendors sell tough jerky (or thick jerky? t-something jerky). You can get 20 pieces of it (a stack -- odd how the number in a stack changes) for 1 silver. As it can take me an hour to farm 10 pieces (also one stack...), I consider buying it that cheaply to be a major savings.
And on the subject of Orgrimmar, a seriously major WoW bitching: Holy cow, Blizzard, you people MUST do something about this lag. FFXI's Jeuno, on its very worst day, is a thousand times better than Orgrimmar's best day. And it's not just Orgrimmar, either. Every single town/city, the moment that city's name shows up on my screen, lags me to hell and back. I'm talking 30-40 seconds of not being able to move/screen frozen.
Also, while I can play FFXI for days and not reboot, WoW requires me to reboot every couple hours (or I lag in non-city areas like I do in city areas). So very annoying.
At least Lost is on now. Hopefully it'll be a good ep.
Edit:
Bah. Oh well. It was a mostly "meh" ep for me. Well, other than the flashbacks. Love Sun and Jin so much!
Annoyed about the ring though though. As soon as Sun mentioned burying the bottle I knew that's where the ring would be. I hate guessing right.
And three more weeks till a new ep? Blech. Why'd we not see more about Rose and her husband? *sniffle*
