Edit: Ugh, Bleach 50 is horrible! Horrible! Horrible! What silly stuff in the middle of a serious storyline! Dudes, this Don guy is not funny! 51 better be better... Gah. (And now on to the FFXI part of the post!) Later: Woo, 51 was much, much better.

Nimbex (of CTY, sort of our "sister LS") organized a ZM5 run, and so those of us FI people (Cehra, Yossy, and I) who needed it went along. Stealthing is perhaps my least favorite thing to do on the whole game, so I knew this wouldn't be giggles for me. And while it wasn't, it was also not nearly as bad as it could have been (stealthing two full parties through three aggro zones (including IC) and getting aggro only once? Darned good!).

Before that main event Zubis (who is just way too nice for his own good) guided me to the ice headstone in, eh, Fiy'whatever. Fyi'whatever. That ice place. After the event a few of us went and did the LTP one, so now I only have to get the QSC one done. Sooner or later. Probably sooner I suppose, so I can hop in if a ZM6 run happens.

XP static didn't happen today, so instead we went eye hunting! Back into the Den of Rancor! Going in there twice in one weekend is two times too many. :P Tonberries went right onto my List.

The List
1) Ose
2) That tree NM in Jugner
3) Tonberries

Tonberries didn't even do anything to get themsleves onto the list, but I hate them anyway. They're ugly, evil, horrible, nasty little critters who are always skulking around.

Speaking of ugly! While we were eye hunting tonight, a Doom Toad kept watching us. That was the best screenshot I could get, since I didn't want to get into aggro range. They're like a big mass of... flesh. Wobbly, wiggling, jiggling, icky flesh.

Eye hunting went amazingly well, which was good because it was a pain in the butt to get there. We all got eyes, even me! So that's three I have, and wonderful BST Merlee is working on some of the ones I don't have yet. We even finished the night with two eyes dropping in a row!

While doing the LTP part of ZM5, we happened upon a certain fellow:



He died too fast for me to get a screenshot, and alas he didn't drop much of anything.

I must, must, must remember to work on clearing fomor hate. Some night this week. If I don't do it soon I'll forget I have it, then that'll cause trouble later. (Don't laugh at me for making a big deal about it, high level people reading this. Those mobs just barely stopped being EP to me, so they're still a bit of a challenge to kill. I can't just go out and "*wham*wham*wham* It's clear!" :). I don't mind doing it at all, just don't think I'm making a big deal out of "nothing". :)) (Edit: Ha ha ha. I think me apologizing/worrying too much is a sign of me being tired.)

So tired, so very tired. Long long day. :) Love all my LS people so much, even Niala and Aurian and their bull penis talk, and poor Zubis who had to drag me through ZM stuff. :)

Edit: Oh, I forgot to mention! Muchly prompted by Zub (who knows these things), I've been working on getting my GS leveled. Tonight wasn't a great night for it. The mobs must have been too high, I think. Even though I connect now and then (about 1 hit in 5 swings), I got nearly no skillups. 3-4 hours and only got 3 levels. :/ But it's a start! I'm going to use it when we do Escort in CN, that should be the right level for this. Hm, actually not 3-4 hours. Near the end I got tired of hitting for barely double digit numbers and switched back to my scythe. Love my scythe so much! Love the LS so much! Love everyone so much! Love love love!

Sort of, yeah. Really, really, really big though (much larger than a person!). Uglier too, though in a "so ugly it's almost cute" sort of way.

What did Tonberries ever do to you?

...Besides stabbing you in the throat, I mean...

I usually get along fine with beastmen. Orc aggros? No worries! Yags pounce me from behind? Whatever! But tonberries are just... horrible little things!

Plus there's the whole "they're level 584720975192" thing, too. :P I may never get to be high enough level to kill them all!

Keeping your GS near cap is something you will be glad of doing when you can learn spinning slash. I've seen it so many times ;
"*Job* > Drk {Light} OK?"
"Um Scythe can't do light?"
"Nvm, heh."

The less work you have to do when you get there the better it will be ;P

Yeah, I just wish I hadn't left it this long. I still need about 100 more levels of it just to get it where it should be. :/ It's actually less skilled than marksmanship and I almost never use that.

Ack, too much love. Go to bed, Thistle (preferably nowhere near mine). You're scaring me.

Ha ha, I didn't ever tell you the story about that? It's actually S-E's fault that I have to use the Windower! That tabbing=freezing bug hits me hard, multiple times a day. When it causes a freeze, my entire computer locks up -- the only way to force a reboot is to unplug it. That's really, really bad for a computer! So I decided to try using the Windower to see if it would help, and while it didn't stop the bug I can get into another window and kill the pol.exe process instead of unplugging the machine. (Potentially damaging my computer was not part of the ToS I agreed to!)

The TP thingie isn't usually there. I had to reinstall the Windower yesterday (I kept logging off to try to adjust things to how they had been, right up to the moment we headed out for eye hunting), and commenting out that party TP thing was something I hadn't gotten done yet. (I was much more concerned with the gamma/lighting thing and the window size.) But odd thing, I find I kind of like seeing the TP and mob's HP and such. :/ Sort of like how the Windower itself grew on me once I started using it.

*grins* You don't have to justify yourself, I'm just pickin' on ya 'cause I can. ;3 I'm glad the windower helped with your tab-freezing bug, tho @_@ Stupid game glitching like that.

You don't have to justify yourself

Yeah, but I feel like I do, even in my own head. I don't want to break the rules! Honest! But I want to hurt my computer even less. The morally complex thing is that I'm liking the Windower (and the TP thingie), they're not just necessary.

I'm making a bigger deal about this than it deserves, I know. :P

Heh! My party knows that feeling! It "walked" over two of our members while they were resting (it was chasing a BST).

Is it? Woo woo! I wish Lunar would be faster about subbing, they always seem like the last ones done. "Hurry! I want my free service faster!" :P
