Ai Wa Katsu

Phew! That was one hell of an update I did yesterday. I didn't intend to make it that long. I guess when it comes to Horie Yui there's no stopping me /laugh. I hope that it all makes sense; I was writing the thing whilst suffering from lack of sleep. It took me ages to go back and reformat it for spelling and grammatical errors, as well as paragraphing it to look aesthetically pleasing. Despite all the effort it took the whole update was enjoyable to write. I probably shouldn't make it so long next time though...
Things are going fairly well in FFXI. I've taken up levelling Corsair pretty much full time. I reached level 28 last night which means that I can finally dual wield Archer's Knives. That +20 to ranged accuracy will help me a great deal when firing my gun. When I get to level 30 I'll have a bit more of it from the Noct set too. The job is a lot of fun and I'm surprised that I've gotten used to it so quickly. The damn dice do have a habit of annoying me though. I've learned that when you land on a six it's wise to stick. Doubling up and rolling again will almost always end up in another six, resulting in a 'Bust' effect. Still, I think I do pretty well overall. Only another 32 levels to go until I get full AF. That's the whole reason I'm levelling this job in the first place /laugh.
I'm pleased that we have a regular Assault party now. We've been having regular runs on Mondays and Fridays which has done our points totals a world of good. I'm now about 8,000 points from another piece of the Amir set. After Periqia I'm hoping we will move onto Ilrusi Atoll so that I can get my hands on the Amir Dirs I want so bad. Other than levelling Corsair and doing Assaults, I occasionally party with Siraji and Ophidian. This has helped me get a few merits points for my Samurai. Normally I wouldn't have spent so long meriting so it's done me quite a favour. Still a lot of upgrades to go though so I hope they keep inviting me to their parties.
I bought myself quite a few things recently. I got a new belt (may not sound remarkable but I've had the old belt for 7 years now and it's falling apart), a new Casio watch (could be considered a little on the feminine side but I like how it looks), and the last box set of 'You're Under Arrest'. I haven't had chance to watch those DVDs yet though as they're region 1 and we only have the one player in the house. I'll do some swapping around and hopefully I'll get more time to watch them. As my sister bought herself a laptop recently and wants to use the internet as well, I've decided to invest in a wireless modem/router. It might be a little difficult to set up at first but it'll be nice to not be restricted by wires any more. After that it should be a break from spending until I get my next payment. I could maybe get some new shoes. My current pair are about 12 years old and leak when it's raining /laugh. I've kind of grown fond of them though, it'll be a shame to see them finally go. You've served me well, Pod shoes, I salute you!
