thistlechaserI think I'm getting sick... or have been for a while. I strongly suspect I have a sinus infection going on (or is it more allergies? For the last many months? ><). Head/sinuses are pounding, I can't breathe, my throat feels like it's coated with thick stuff, and there's a constant drip down the back of my throat. (TMI? Sorry!) I hate to go to the doctor, but I'm going to have to if this doesn't get better soon. It's hard to sleep when you feel like you're drowning!
Didn't exercise last night or tonight because I feel like crap. On the plus side, I haven't really wanted to eat either, so maybe it balances out? Ha ha.
Anime: OH MY GOD! Saw an advertisement on TV: Some American company is releasing Naruto figures, and Haku and Zabuza are included! I must get them! Now now now! They can join theorgy herd of Hakus and Zabuzas on my desk! Yay! I need to track down if they're out yet or when they're getting released! (Edit: Ah ha! Images! Three pages of them!)

FFXI: Finally the thing I've been hoping for happened: A Besieged took place while I was home for lunch! That's never happened since the event was introduced. Unfortunately we had no chance in hell of winning. Level 5 undead, started with 150 in the zone, ended with 231... and we had only two generals in the beginning. We lost, and badly. (But I got "full" (for a loss) XP on DRK. Need about 1K more to get recapped.)
This morning before work I checked to see how I did in the fishing ranking contest. You needed to be in the top 20 to win the prize:
Arg! So close! Grump! I was hoping that the next contest would be for a good fish (like moat carp), but I'm told it's only unstackable fish. Hope it's not another one that's really hard to catch or that I have to go to a dangerous place to get. Guess we'll find out come September first! (Really need to work on replacing my Lu's. Not going to buy another one for double the price I sold mine for, but I can earn a second one on a mule!)
Once I got home from work, we went to U-whatever Range to try to learn two moves for two of our LS BLUs. Frightful Roar off those evil looking dino-mobs and Cold Wave off snolls. Got both for both people! But I got sloppy with hate at a bad time. Nothing is scarier than a (fast!) countdown to your doom:
I was spamming holy water, and finally it worked.
On a related note: Almost broke 1K with Rampage! (DC mob, no food or buffs.) Really like my axes a lot, it feels like I do so much more damage! But funny (and sad) thing was I felt... not great about playing DRK. BRD would have been a lot more helpful and a lot easier to keep myself alive! Booo. (But I went through this same sort of thing with RDM, so I'm sure I'll get over it.)
Once that finished, I went digging! Since I wasn't pressed for time, I went to the Desert. At first it seemed like a good decision:
(The stone is the very rarest thing you can get, the scale is 'uncommon' level, but still worth a good ~9K.) But flocks of diggers must have arrived a moment later. Wasted about 10 stacks and got little more, then gave up and went back to Meri mountains.
Same thing, started well!
And happily it stayed good! Got 5 gold beastcoins (usual is 3), and annoyingly a black chocobo feather (the second rarest thing you can dig up there, but vendor trash).
Note: Both digging screenshots edited to remove tells and LS foo. I could have just blurred it out, but cutting it makes them smaller to keep fpage spam down.
Would have counted as a very good night if I was feeling better. :/
