But I know no matter what the waitress brings, I shall drink it and always be full...

First off, this is the funniest animated gif I've seen in a long, long time: Hillary! I choose you! I snickered all the way through it.

---

In FFXI land, I spent the whole day running around. Hours of running around! I did the three new teleport/recall quests. Meh storylines for the most part (though I liked the EN one a little), mostly just excuses to make you run everywhere. I had one death because I totally forgot that the hippos were truesight. ><

I didn't do the BLM quest because my BLM will likely never be high enough to use the scroll and I was sick of running around through aggro.

Teamed up with a LS member to do the new Sandy "mission" fight against the MNK orc. Man, was that a bad area to fight -- I spent half the battle controlling the gnole aggro we had. There was just no safe place to fight. It sure was fun to use RDM in the "real world" (not campaign) though, hopefully I'll have a chance to use it again soon.

Meh reward on the Sandy mission (...yay... fishing rod...), but the CSs were so darned cute they made up for it. And I realized something! I think FFXI elves are like puppies and kittens! When they're young their eyes are really really blue:

But when they get older, they dull down in color:

(Father and son eyes.)

The elf kids are soooooo cute! Go ahead and pout, it will only make you cuter. (Text blurred so no spoilers.)

It's really nice to see the better animation we're getting now. We never would have seen animation like this in old CSs. (Blurred again.)

So got lots done, but I'm looking forward to a quieter day tomorrow.

I'm gonna post this here since I'm stuck at work and can't remember my password to POL IM bomb you /loser. Went and got Val and Boose Asuran Claw last night. I'd be up for helping you get it too, but last night's outting made it abundantly clear that a WHM would have to come along as well x.x; At least, if we hunted Lobisons again. They're VT and real buggers, but didn't have to play any games to get them onto their back legs. They were strutting around like they owned the place regardless of time of day or if they were provoked or not. Lemme know if you're interested :3

Yeah, I heard those guys were a real pain. ._. I'm not sure when I'll be on, still kinna touchy about when I can thanks to puppy and other things, but lemme know whenever's good for you guys and I'll maneuver puppyschedule around it. :3

[gbeans.livejournal.com]

Whenever puppy isn't gnawing on your face is good. (You have my sympathies since I'm a kitty chew thing right now myself.) I usually have a WHM in my gobbiebag, though I'm good at tarunapping others if he isn't available. We could trio them, though a couple others along would be helpful (like someone who could refresh/ballad/roll >.>a Neta and Val/Boose were alternating their cures to ease the stress on Neta's MP.) Each fight took us about 15 minutes, but we only had to fight 3 for Boose and Val to learn it.

Image is funny, even if I don't like Hillary or Barack. XD

One of the CS in the second quest, specifically when Excenmille reveals the "secret" and does that slow head turn at you. XD

*rolls* Yes! I want to rewatch those CSs.

Yeah, the animation in this expansion, so far, has been wonderful. It's kind of nice to play through the missions and such from each expansion just to see the progress that's been made, but on the other hand, it kind of sucks if you're just getting into early game stuff and knowing the truly good eye-candy is a long way off.

I love the smirk Exenmille gives you in the third mission. Hard to believe he's such a grouchy old codger in the current timeline.

I guess at some point this week, I need to actually log in for the first time in 2 1/2 months and download all the patches so I can get back to the new missions. Honestly, I'm not entirely sure that it was Dyna which burned me out, or the rediculous amount of running on foot that you had to do to unlock all the maws and get to the different cities. I -think- I've got all of the maws done, but I might still be missing one somewhere. Really could care less at this point unless it's absolutely imperitive.

I know! I can't wait to see more of the story. :)

And nope, no reason to have all the maws yet. Who knows if there ever will be. (Was there ever a reason to get all the staging points in ToAU, other than XPing and BLU AF1?)

[aelice.livejournal.com]

OH MY GOD CUTE.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Yes. :D

[wanderingscribe.livejournal.com]

I love that .gif, but if I ever shared it with my Mom, I'd start WWIII (I'm pro-Obama, she's pro-Clinton).

And D'AWWWW WITH THE CUTE AND THE EYES AND THE POUT AND THE D'AWWW. I'm too busy bending over for Nintendo and Microsoft to play FFXI, but I would if I could afford it and/or run it with this beast of a computer.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

I think moms like Clinton, mine does too. (I'm okay with either of them.)

And yes, isn't he so cute! :D *pats your computer* Maybe one day!

[gbeans.livejournal.com]

That .gif is XD

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Yeah. :D

[veloxe.livejournal.com]

Good thing the kids are cute cause they are ugly as sin when they grow up.

I'm sticking with that too!

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Ha ha true! Almost as bad as galka! ;)

[ilanarama.livejournal.com]

The political pokemon is hilarious!
