I've used a touchpad instead of a mouse for years, and I love it to death, but in the last week or so it's been causing such pain in my arm! I can't figure out why. It's in the same position and it seems to work as well as it always has, but I can't stand using it. Almost from the first moment, it makes my wrist hurt! I hate to consider it, but I might have to switch back to a mouse...

Back to work tomorrow. The last four days were, while not relaxing, a nice break from work. However I'm not unhappy to be going back to work, mostly because it'll force me to take a break from FFXI. :p Stupid game, causing me to be obsessed with it!

I finally watched the Yu Gi Oh movie (I got it on DVD for Christmas). Unsurprisingly, it was really, really bad. The dialogue was so bad I actually laughed out loud at it a few times. "(In a deep, meaningful voice) But sometimes an eternity does not last forever..." Uh huh... On the other hand, I really do enjoy the TV series. I know it's meant for kids, but there's some pretty interesting character interaction that goes on. I really, really want to get the subbed version of the series, so I can see it in its intended form.

This will sound strange, but for days now, I've been so hungry! I'm eating, but I just can't get satisfied. It can't be a lack of protein, cause I had cheese for lunch and a grilled cheese for dinner, too. I can't even think of what I want to eat though... Very annoying. Food takes way, way too much time and thought.

FFXI:

Today was my DRK static. I hit 37, which makes it tied for my highest job! Yay! Crawler's Nest works surprisingly well for us, for all CN is called a hellhole. We get wonderful XP there. (200-250/kill on average.) When you factor in how many of us were sick and exhausted (and hungry), it's extra-surprising how well things went. (I was totally off my game, to the point of losing track of my most basic of macros. It was very odd, I was suddenly unsure of even macros I was using for as long as I've played the job.)

The best part of the day was when we were able to surprise Ceh with the Erase spell scroll. :) (Non-players: It's an insanely and unreasonably expensive scroll, totally unfair to expect new players to be able to buy it.)

My armor now matches, which is really nice. I know it's silly to even think about that, but I didn't like looking awful! I'll have to grab a screenshot and post it soon...

My best Yu Gi Oh watching experience was watching a (oh so very poor) English sub of the Cantonese dub of the original. Great stuff.

If you're going for subbed Yu Gi Oh, I'd suggest getting the original Toei series. It came before the series 4Kids licensed, being derived from the first several volumes of the manga. As a result, it is often mistaken for a lost first season. Mainly, however, it is a much darker series. It'll definitely give you a bit more perspective on the rather sanitized (doubly so, in the 4Kids dub) second series, which is the only Yu Gi Oh most people know.

Didn't like looking awful, eh? How do you explain the subligar, then? Hehe.

*plays a card, yammers incessantly about your doom for eight minutes, then stands there staring ahead blankly as he thinks about your doom, then cuts to a commercial break, after which he yammers incessantly about your doom for four more minutes until you play a single card, in which case he boggles at the absolute impossibility and cries like a little girl at his ultimate demise*

Yu-Gi-Oh is fun.

One of the good parts about the movie was that one of the characters (Kiba) mocked something similar to that. Pegasus played a card, then (as the characters always do) went on to explain what that card does. Kiba interrupted him, said everyone knew what the card did... then explained it himself. It was one of the few amusing moments of it.
