How I Miss Anteater Basketball

So I was finally able to go to a UC Irvine basketball game yesterday. It was a fun game with the usual band music, the aggressive taunting, and some ass kicking from the Anteater team. ^^. v It seems the UC Davis coach had a hissy fit a few weeks back, kicking chairs and waste baskets all over the place so band had a bunch of folding chairs and waste baskets that had “KICK ME COACH” signs on them. We would wave that and the Cow Poly cows during the UCD’s free throw shots in the 2nd half of the game. It was definitely very fun. ^^

One More Level Till 75!

While I was running around trying to send items to my mule, I got a tell from one of my friends, Jakal, if I wanted to get some experience points. I usually don’t turn down party invites except for really good reasons (like food or real life friends) so I agree to join him.

Once in Caedarva Mire, I notice that the refresher is a BRD/NIN… This slightly worries me because that means I’m going to be the only one casting Silena and no one to back up heal when things go wrong. The tank of the party was Jakal as a WAR/NIN. There was even a beastmaster, too, but I don’t know if it was a beast sub or a main. Anyway, the party turned out to be really, really good. I mean, REALLY good. Wow. The other members of the party had /NIN subs, but I really didn’t need to unsilence them because the mobs went down so fast there really wasn’t enough time to.

Near the end of the party, I dinged level 74. Currently, I’m 1,041 experience points into it and hopefully a few Besieged battles will help prevent any deleveling that may occur.

Errands Around Torrance

First day of my two week comp time and I spent it running around doing some errands. Not a bad way to spend the day, but I think I could have, should have, done more during the day. If you don’t want to read about my uneventul day or don’t want to get grossed out, I suggest you stop right now. Seriously. It’s boring and gross on various levels.

First thing I needed to do was buy some timothy hay for Shinta. I think he seriously needs it. He’s still having problems and I think that’s affecting his hopping skills. Laura put a linen blanket down to help hold up Shinta’s feet, but I think it ended causing more problems than good because he would pee into the blanket and that would get his bum all wet with urine. Yuck!

Next thing I needed to do was eat! Yes, eat some food. So I hopped on over to Chipotle and got myself a vegetarian burrito bowl. Yum. :9

After I was nice and full (maybe too full) I had to exchange a binder thingy I bought at OfficeMax because it was broken. The girl behind the register was kind enough to let me exchange it without showing the receipt, which probably saved me 2 minutes, yeay! Next door, there was one PS3 in the Best Buy cage. I took a picture of it so I can go claim my $1,300. (Yeah, right!)

I was going to go home at that point, but then I remembered that Shinta needed some fresh greens and I wanted some yogurt. Since the gym was next to Whole Foods, I decided to get some exercise before I bought food. Yeah… I’m really out of shape. My weight back in October was at 145 lbs. My weight now is at 155 lbs. Boo! Worse yet, my heart beat shot up to past the cardio range in less than two minutes…. on the lowest level. >_<;

So now I’m tired. And really gassy. I drank some whole organic lactose-full milk. I wanted to see how it tasted so I bought a bottle. It was yummy. It gave me diarrhea, which has now been downgraded to gas.

Around 7 pm, Laura came over and we washed Shinta’s butt clean. Gave him a trim, and Laura cleaned around his —–… Ew. Again, ew. The stuff we do for this rabbit.

Nooo, now the internet went down at my house… ;_;

Sky Access

So Sunday night I got {sky} access. Yeay! Thanks to Fynlar and his group of friends now I can cower in a new location with pretty gardens, enchanting music, and magic aggro happy mobs. *sob* The fights were pretty fun. And the story line is pretty good. I hope I’ll be able to work more on the story soon.

Once I got into sky, Fyn took me to get the quest for Divine Might (I think) and then we went to go kill some magic pot NMs for a Winterstone drop. Now Fyn gets to kill Genbu for a 3rd time, but this time I might be able to watch. ^^.v

Comp Time, Woot!

So it’s finally that time of the game cycle again where I get to chill and relax at home. Yesterday and especially today sucked at work in terms of being productive. I had to harass Edwin to give me bugs to fix from his plate. The last three issues he couldn’t give me for various reasons. Dave got his comp time a few minutes before I got mine. :x He told me he got put on comp time starting tomorrow (Tuesday) and then one of the producers called me into his office. My first response is always, I didn’t do it. Only because it’s kinda funny. >.>; So I get 14 days off. That’s 1 week short of what I was hoping, but beggars can’t be choosers I suppose…

My plantar fasciitis is back, but this time, it’s in my right foot instead of my left. >_<; I’m icing it as I write, and I’m thinking Advil looks mighty yummy right now. I think I’m going to buy another foot brace so I’ll have one for each foot. I know I’m going to need them when I go to Japan in April.

Shinta’s Latest Problem…

So Laura discovered something new about Shinta today… A new medical problem… And it has to do with the skin on his balls… Ew. >_<; It seems he has really clogged pores in his balls because he found massive blackheads (if that’s what they are). We removed as many as we could, but it was gross. ;_; Poor Shinta. Bleh. Thinking about it makes me grossed out. Poor old man Shinta… >_<;

Wacom Tablet Nibs and Sketching

I bought some new nibs for my Wacom tablet. I kinda got tired of the slippery feel of the pen on tablet so I decided to try out the nib that’s supposed to simulate pencil on paper feel. It’s not perfect, but it’s so much easier to draw on the computer now. I’m quite excited about drawing now days. I’ve been doodling quite a bit, at home and at work. Most of it at work because of the time I have waiting for the game to pack. Speaking of which, I need to scan a few things. I really can’t draw on my work computer if it’s crunching numbers and stuff. :(

Apple In-Ear Headphones

I keep on losing the ear piece for my Sony headphones, so I went to Best Buy to buy a new one. I had two choices. Apple brand or Sony brand. Tough choice. I ended up getting the Apple brand mainly because I was curious how it would be like. I think I should have gone with the Sony brand. Oh well.

I also bought a battery back up for my home computer because the area where I live seem to get a lot of brownouts and a few blackouts. It smells like new plastic, bleh.

Oh, and I found a Wii Nunchuck for Dave’s Christmas present… But I couldn’t find a Wiimote for myself to play when my sister comes by. :(

Now I’m really sleepy. ZZzzzzZZzz….
