First off...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOM!!

Couldn't sleep after only 5 hours of sleep so I did the only natural thing and submitted my taxes. Getting a nice big refund from the Federal government and a not so big refund from my state, which will probably all go towards that tax fiasco from two years ago (which I *still* cannot figure out..). Hopefully this will be the *last* time my state refund has to go to pay off taxes.
My cleaning spree went well. By the end of the night I was tired but in a good "woah I just did a ton of work" way. I am especially proud of my work on the toaster oven. :D
Reactivated my FFXI Content IDs and logged in to gain a few levels this morning, only to find that even though I am a bard, with awesome gear & a fully levelled sub job, I still can't get a party after 40 minutes of waiting.
This drives me CRAZY. I hate that your level advancement is determined by how many other people are playing at the same time as you. With the new MMORPGs released (WoW & EQ2), Square NEEDS to balance out its characters & create feasable soloing areas, or at the very least areas that can be soloed with groups of three. Less people = less of every job type = less groups = a bigger waste of money for me.
This last week that I've been unable to play, I honestly didn't even miss it. Sure, I'd love to get my character to uberness and 'finish' the game, but at this point, I dunno if its worth it. The ironic little message at the start of the game says Square doesn't want you to sacrifice your job, friends, family, or outside social life to play their game but guess what? That's the only way you can advance in it!!

Meh, I already paid for the month of February, so if I continue to remain unimpressed I'll simply permanently delete my content IDs at that time, and get my RP fix through other means.
