No..... not really. But I have been lucky lately with drops. First Zenith Mitts (which I was top tier for for AGES, and lets face it, the amount that I am asked to come on blm, I need em), Duelist's Chapeau (which I am pleased to note, Domo got one next Dyna - makes me feel a whole lot better). And then there was yesterday.
Yesterday there was an unscheduled maint to fix besieged. Apparently it was causing whole worlds to crash or something.... so, everyone who can, log out at Fafnir. Oh joy. 3 hours of not knowing when the hell the window is, watching carefully, trying not to get darters... well, no. Sonma logs in at server up and Faffles decides "Chewy bard! YUM! *chomp*". Sist (and frankly, lol @ Sist getting totally pwnd on BG forums) flash, but Sonma still has hate. Dinh gets in party, flash, invincible, game on. For the first 15 mins or so there were only 6 of us fighting - then we get a darter. Random is called etc. Luckily Sumani on blm had logged on, clocked what was happening, and scooped up all the remaining darters, pulling them to the far corner. Slept Faf, bought us the time to get the couple more who had logged on into party, and away we go. It was a 45 min Faf, 12 (wo)men at the end, and boy was it fun. Shit drops, apart from me getting Aquarian Feet abjuration! More power to my convert macro!
Except, not yet. I asked Flashgordon (well, Spartin on Flash) to do the synth for me. 100 leathercrafter, yay. Except it went boom. Crit failure. Lost the macrame, which I had got for 950k. Boy did I feel sick when I saw that go. Roni, though, has made me a new macrame for a total cost of a little over 600k, so happier. Just gotta get Flash to try again.
Talking of Roni, it was lovely to have a long chat with him via MSN last night. We had our differences, but they are resolved now. I was thinking about things, and how in some ways my enforced break from FFXI was good for me. I did other stuff. I played about with my journal, got a layout I kinda like. I started writing again (and it seems to have gone down well!), I just pottered. All of which was good. Happier now than I have been for quite some time.
On one other note, Dr Who. Damn this series is good. And I have high hopes for proper Captain Jack, you know, the one we all fell in love with in the first place, being back. Just from the "was someone kissing me" part of the trailer. John Barrowman is just brilliant. I caught the end of some Saturday morning cooking programme this week, and he was on it. Shovelling food in his mouth. Not daintily. Shovelling. I love it.
