FFXI and Lost

[thistlechaser]

FFXI was okay tonight. Spent time with Des in Temple Ugh, popping one NM and camping others.

Our best luck was: 10 spawn attempts on Habetrot, and we got him once. Ugly fellow, isn't he? Dropped about 2K in cash and two Twincoons (each worth 150K). Luckily once I left Des had better luck with his NMs.

Besiegeds happened this morning, three waves of them. I've not caught one in a few days now. In theory I know they happen when I'm not there, but hearing about it annoys me/depresses me. It goes back to that whole 'People who can play all day, people who don't spend all day working, get so much further ahead in the game'. It's not fair, and yeah, life's not fair. Still annoys the hell out of me though. I really, really hate having to work all day, especially at a job I hate. So many people get to stay home and play all day...

Yay for angst.

Lost: Since I couldn't watch Desperation last night without playing, I'm watching Lost. Unfortunately I'm not really all that into it. Hour left to go though, so maybe I'll get more into it.

Edit: Locke is an idiot. I can't even feel sorry for him anymore. It's like a joke: Could he be wrong more often?

Got a new icon. I usually don't like animated icons, but this one just barely is.

At least you're at work. I'm at home and could have gone... if the zone didn't kick me out into Whitegate each time. :P Not sure what's more frustrating, not being there, or being there and being unable to join in.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Yeah. You have to get there early now. No more darting in at the last minute. If the zone's full, it will now drop you in Whitegate.

Now everyone will have to be like me: Watching /bmap, and sitting there and waiting once it's close. :) Hopefully the reduced numbers will reduce the lag and stop those waves of DCs.

Is that a new icon? I don't think I've seen it before.

[loneguardian.livejournal.com]

Uhm. No? I've had it since like a week after getting KH2. :x Gogo Nobody Dragoons.

Oh shush you, you get plenty of time to do whatever you want... You accomplish more in a week than I do in several months of playing. As bad as it seems... it could be worse, you could have my play schedule. ^^

And hmmm... i dunno about LOST. Perhaps it was because I was doped up on vicodin, but i really disliked it immensly. Nothign where i sat there and thoguht "Ww, what a great twist!" or anything. Hopefully the season opener will redeem it. And I'm having a blast with "The LOST Experience" have you been playing?

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I did think about you when I posted this. However, people who play less than me are in the minority. The vast majority of people get to play more than us. (And Bara? Personally I'd leave my SO if they tried to keep me from playing. ;) )

On Lost: Yeah. Maybe I'm just not all that interested in the series anymore...

[lokyst.livejournal.com]

I adore your new icon. o.o <3

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Me too. I'm thinking about making it my new default one. :)

Aye, he has a point. I'm home all day and could theoretically play all day long... but half the time I'm feeling too horrible to sit up straight, let alone do anything constructive in-game. And honestly, I wish I DID have a job or something useful to be doing all day long. -_-;

Wanna trade? ^^

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Eh, I'm guessing someone posted a comment, you replied to it, then they deleted it. Think I missed something!

*shoves his job at you* Yay! Please take it! ;)

[fealu-bryne.livejournal.com]

Oh look, you're right. They did delete it. Huh! Don't I feel stupid!


*takes your job, bitches people out, and promptly loses it again* YAY!!! I did something constructive! ...Er. Sorta!

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Hee, yay!

Kittyfish!

That's adorable. ^^

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Isn't it? :)
