Lost and FFXI and RL and stuff

[thistlechaser]

(No Lost spoilers.) What an odd fellow Locke is. I don't like him, but there's something really wrong with him and it's highly interesting.

I like this Henry Gale fellow a whole, whole lot. Very odd fellow, but I like him.

(Oooh, the ending! Oooh, hee. Oh!)

All day at work today, I kept grumbling to myself that I didn't want to XP RDM tonight. Problem is, I really want to get to 65 before I go away for a week on vacation, and that won't happen if I don't XP. But I really, really didn't want to XP, so I decided not to.

I went to Trader Joe's on the way home instead! (And I saw the fat eggrolls, laurelwood! Didn't get any though.) I had lots of fun shopping, got lots of stuff to make a yummy dinner tonight, then when I got home I checked who was seeking and saw no RDM/BRDs, so put my flag up. :P So silly.

But niffy was seeking as well, so we made a party and it worked well. Finally got more than my usual 2K/hour! NIN tank, SMN healer, RDM me, BST him, and some BLM and MNK. We got the good camp in Bibiki Bay, and it worked out really well. Ended the night at about 10K to 64.

"Yummy dinner" (including potatoes to bake!) will have to wait until tomorrow night. :)

We finally got a Trader Joe's here. I need to hit it up this weekend, I think. Everything my friends tell me about sounds so good!

I'm glad you got a good party. Sometimes just finding one that runs smoothly is all it takes to make the day better.^^

Trader Joe's is a little expensive, but it's nice because it's full of wacky stuff you don't usually find at the grocery store. Lots of fun stuff!

Totally. :D

Re: Trader Joe's - So I hear (about the prices). I'll probably pick up a few fun things just to try, since it's not really an ideal place to do your regular grocery shopping anyway.

Yeah, not unless you're on some really restrictive diet.

Lost: I'm starting to warm up to him as well, but I found the reactions to his lie so nauseatingly hypocritical. It was ridiculous.

I wish I could just tell the characters "Yeah, he killed the guy and is probably an Other, but he also saved all your asses from blowing up, He Who Tortures Innocent Men, She Who Killed Someone in Cold Blood, Mr. LOL I Start Fires as Payback, and Mr. High and Mighty Overlord of the Jungle."

Feh.

I'm glad I read your comment while still at home, because I laughed loudly at this. How totally true!

I find that guy fascinating too, the one that's apparently impersonating Henry Gale. It seems like everyone is starting to either become nastier or crazier as we go on. Lost finally got out of that boring rut. Hopefully they'll end the season on a high note. I'm looking forward to next week anyway.

Yes! After being nearly bored with it, I'm suddenly hooked again. Next week's ep should rock, too. :D
