TGIF! Made it to the weekend! Woo! Yay! It was a close call this week. :p

Work is still going better than I had expected, so that's good enough. I only lost a half-pound this week, but as I was expecting to gain, that's not so terrible. Sleep still sucks ass though.

Nightmares continue. Last night's was a really odd one. The FFXI world was real, and because I was tired and stressed, my teleport spells weren't working right. I tried to tele-Holla and ended up on the glacier! Eek! A dancing weapon aggroed me and kept hitting me so I couldn't make my warp spell work. But then I was "saved" because somehow the whole scene changed and I was at work! (Blech!) My boss was asking me all sorts of questions that I had no answer to, then a truck full of horses under a foot tall showed up, and my boss couldn't believe I hadn't known they made horses that small... (The one good part about the nightmare was having real people in the FFXI world. It was so cool that the "characters" had real expressions! Like when I arrived on the glacier, this farmer there kept shooting me puzzled/curious glances.)

Non-players: Dancing weapons are some of the most nasty/evil looking creatures. That's not a good picture, but you can probably get the idea from it.

Chia: I tried moving all the log files off the old computer this morning, but failed. Apparently, even when I move my modem's cable back to the old computer, it can't get online. *scratches head* I just don't understand that, as that used to be my main computer and when I got the new one, all I did was move the cable over... So then I tried saving the logs to disk, but even compressed it was like 6 megs! (500+ text files!) That computer has a CD drive, but I think it's read-only. I'm guessing I'll have to break the file into six smaller ones, then I can move them by disk to my new computer and upload them from there. (Assuming you want them? I didn't see a reply to my comment.)

That sounds awesome. I want a nightmare like that.

Yeah, that was the good part of it. :) Just a real, normal guy out farming on the glacier...

I think the only thing in the game that rivals the weapons for sheer creepiness factor is the Doomed (http://mysterytour.web.infoseek.co.jp/ffxi/us/monster1/doomed.jpg) types of beasties. /shudder

Oh, ack! I've not encountered one of those yet! (Luckily!)

Dang, even if she doesn't want the logs, I'd love them if you don't mind sharing!

If you like, sure. But a warning, there's lots of TS in them and they're totally unedited, so who knows what sort of mean RL stuff I said in them! :p I'll post a link in a friends-locked post once they're up.

TS can be skipped. Chia and I just used to obsess over all the backstory that we didn't know anything about! And no one would tell us! And it drove us crazy! ;)

*laughs* Yeah, well... I hope you guys like it and aren't shocked or disappointed or disgusted or anything! :}

I was going to ask the same thing, but wasn't sure if it was polite or not. :)

Heehee. Well, I'm surprised you folks want to, but it's okay with me! (If Shadow has some sort of issue, I'm sure he'd leave a comment, but I think last time Chia wanted them, he left it up to me to decide.)

Me not want? IMPOSSIBLE!!

I've just been distracted of late, and only am getting a chance to respond now. ^^() But YES! I definitely, definitely want them! (If it's not too much of a hassle, at least.)

Woo woo! No problem, I should get them up sometime this weekend, hopefully.

Aw, but Dancing Weapons are cute! Especially when they run. Then again, I also think Goobue and Ochu are adorable, and Marlboro is my favorite FF monster evar.

Your logs are dirty? I never would have suspected for a moment. I am utterly aghast. Really.

They are pretty cute (in an odd sort of way), yeah.

Hush, you. :)
