Living On A Prayer
03 June 2007
Hallo! I'm writing this entry from the first class section of a train, which is quite nice. I got on the 12:12 to Blackpool and the whole thing was packed to bursting. Not a seat to be seen in any of the carriages. I ended up having to stand in the space by the doors with a couple of people. After about 5 minutes the conductor came and told us that we could go sit in the first class section since there were some free seats. Result! The whole area is a lot more comfortable and has plug sockets for laptops and mobile phones. I'm not sure how much more first class tickets cost over the standard fare but, if it's not too expensive, I may upgrade class in the future. I could definitely get used to this!
Right, onto the main news. I decided to spend an extra day in Salford so that I could finish a couple of things on Final Fantasy XI. I started off by levelling Warrior on Tanakacchi in Qufim. After that I managed to get help for my Kazham keys quest from Zansho. We got them fairly quickly and without too much trouble. I handed the keys in and received my airship pass. Immediately headed out to Norg to start the various Ninjutsu scroll quests. I managed to complete Tonko, Utsusemi, Dokumori and Hojo before I ran out of playtime. I'll have to get Kurayami and Jubaku done when I return to the game. Once the scrolls sell on the auction house I should have around 700,000 gil so that's going to be cool. I should be able to break a million gil once I've done all the teleport scroll quests. It's going to be so nice having money again after being poor for so long. I'll be able to carry on with my Corsair on Hocchan and maybe make a start on Monk with Tanakacchi. Bring on the cash! Roll up, roll up! Some lovely scrolls for sale, mint condition, two for a Pound!
I almost had a heart attack earlier this morning. Whilst checking Wikipedia to see if Horie Yui had starred in any new anime, I came across a shocking article. Someone had written that Yui had married some guy from V6 in 2004! What?! Is this true? And if so, why didn't I hear about this sooner? I had to confirm if this outrageous news was true or not so I scoured the various Japanese fan pages, and (thankfully) managed to gleam enough information to conclude that the rumour is untrue. Well, I'm fairly certain that it's bogus, but I couldn't be 100% sure as my Japanese is far from perfect. Not that it'd be bad if Yui did get married, it would just be a big shock. If and when it does happen, I'll be happy for her (sightly jealous but happy). However, it doesn't look like I should be worried about it just yet. I've got to find out who wrote that article and slap them with a tractor... can't go around writing crap like that.
