Update time:
WoW: Quit. Not sure if I'll stay gone, but probably will. I kinda enjoy not being tied up in Warcraft. I think what really bothered me wasn't the changes to the story, but that they showed a weakness in design. Blizzard couldn't foresee what they wanted to do, so they just completely re-write history. SE, in the... 4 or 5 years FFXI has been out hasn't had to do that once (to my knowledge... will be asking Uruki about this later). Blizz on the other hand, in the 10 years WC1 came out has pretty much rewritten some major aspect of the story in some way shape or form in almost every iteration of Warcraft. They need to just take some time off, plan where they want the story to go, and go there. I dunno... maybe I'll go back... right now... (No thanks.)
FFXI: Leveling WHM to subjob it to RDM for later parties, and finding the job is a lot more fun than I expected. May take it to 75 *gasp* I didn't figure I'd like it because it's just healing, and I thought I like doing stuff like being combative, but I realized after leveling BLM to 40 that I really didn't like that. It's the being busy and challenged I enjoy. BLM is boring for me because all I do is nuke every 10 seconds or so. *bleh* In SuperSet news, we are still chugging along. Got a few new members onboard, and soon we'll be starting 4-2 runs. Got one more 2-5 run to finish up with Tannim, Ishi, Tok, and Omi, then 2 more 3-5 runs for those four and Ame and Fylia, then we'll all be past that stupid flying... thing. *grumbles about having to fight Diabolos some more*
MI3: Saw it yesterday. Nice improvement from MI2. MI1 was cool because it had lots of spy-y stuff. MI2 sucked because it was pretty much all guns-a-blazin'. MI3 was a good mix of both. There were action scenes, but there were some good thinking/planning type scenes. A good mix of both movies, without too much of either.
Calories and other fitness stuff: Over the next 4 days, I'm going to be doing an approximate count of my caloric intake per day. On Saturday I will post my results. I believe that my strong metabolism makes me hungry and I eat over 2000 calories a day. I think that if I cut back, not only will it be good for my wallet, but it will be good for my body. I plan on finally starting to do Aikido in July when my contract with Gold's ends.
ffxi,
wow,
life,
movies
