Because I have to use this icon every year…

Heh, the LiveJournal banner on top of the page is done up like a ship… I wonder if that’s special for today. On second inspection, the user icons have eyepatches (), so it must be. … It also says “Update Captain’s Log” on the submit button. These guys have way too much time on their hands.

Anyway, stuff is happening. Working, FFXIing, Magicing (Time Spiral Prerelease this weekend, joy!).

My car is getting considerably dirtier because of all the trees in the parking lot here at work or something. What’s kind of funny is that almost every single car in the lot is filthy, so I’m not alone. One of them has “PLEASE C” wiped into the dirt on the back, I’m guessing that’s as far as someone got into “PLEASE CLEAN ME” before they chickened out and ran away. On a similar note, I saw the car with the license plate “WASH ME” again on the way back from work, almost in the same spot.

FFXI is moving along slowly. I haven’t been putting as much time into my chocobo as some other people, and I got started late so I know when to expect certain things. In two days, my chocobo will be ridable! Yay! I’ve got my Paladin up to 71 now, and I decided to take up Woodworking so I have a “real” craft, and eventually useful to repair Lu Shang’s Fishing Rods in the field. Most of the crafts I’ve been doing so far have been break-even or profitable… in theory, if they ever sell on the AH. I got undercut on Uchitake by 1,000, and I still have 5 bundles to sell. I think I’ll hold off listing the last few so that the number listed doesn’t go too high, encouraging people to undercut even further. Of course, the last few times I’ve been spending crafting have been cutting into my fishing time, so that’s sort of counter productive…
