Ok...first thing...I meant to make this post yesterday...but this is more or less a collection of my musings for the week, I'm gonna mix up certain facts with different days.

*plays Evanescence from the desktop*

The Fantasy has just begun!
First thing first MY PROJECT DESKTOP FINAL WORKS THE WAY I WANT IT TO. *calms down* ^_^; Final Fantasy XI came out like the day before halloween or so and my friend has been bugging me to play...well I was actually the one who want to play it more ever since he tried(successfully) to get me to play Shadowbane. Anyway the urge to play finally overtook me [that and rationalizing that I get paid this week] . I bought the game on tuesday from Software Etc., while I was leaving work in Yonkers..but didn't get to play it til wednesday. Here's the run down...I pretty much stalled as much as I could...out of fear or whatever, I dunno. There's 5 cd's in the box! I installed the PlayOnline software and then started mucking around with it for like an hour or more after the update to the program, downloading greeting cards and adding new backgrounds and music to my interface. I installed the game and then crashed for the night somewhere around 1am. Next day I was in "I'm going to see Matrix Revolutions today...somewhere...maybe Time Square...I don't know as long as it's not here in the heights" mode. ....Yeah..that didn't happen....Started off my day by trying to patch(update) ffxi...an hour long patch...somewhere through the process I fell asleep and the damn thing disconnected corrupting my game files....Flash forward to the next few hours of trying and then getting the 6 gigs+ of stuff remove/reinstalled and then waiting around for the update and stuff...a minute before 5pm though my dozing on and off the thing completed at which point I decided maybe I should eat today?

First impression of the game....I waited for this? To be fair... I was confused as could be...and the glitchiness of it running on my *coughs* cracked *coughs* XP desktop didn't help me much. In mid shop menu viewing...the Game and viewer crach out on me as if I closed them down on purpose. At first I thought is it something with my wireless keyboard? It's happened two more times in a much similar way..so I'm beginning to wonder.

My ffxi accomplisments: I leveled up, I died, add one friend to my frendlist, I died, I sortta got stalked by someone, I solved a quest...then I bought a new id to start over with a new character on a different server so I could play wth my friend. At this point I die a lot..."dude why'd you pick a chick...that's so gay" *inner growls are held off*

Oh yeah my first Character is Deedelle, a Female Hume Thief on the Ramuh server.

Thursday
How can you be woken up at like 6:30am so you can be at work on time at 10:00am and fall asleep and wake up at 8:45am and still try to get there on time? ask me and you'll find out. heh. Damn FFXI was up later than i should've. ^_^; ah well. Anyway normally I should be on my way to the train station to catch the A train and start my 1hr+ long journey to work out in Yonkers...damn I need my own car. The train ride was pretty uneventful, until the 4 train. Besides reading my Initial D vol.1, that's manga folks ^_^. There was this guy in the far corner that kept staring my way, at first I thought he was looking at the same girl I was every so often looking up at from the book. But when she got off at 176st. I began to feel a little urked..but being me I just cranked up my Initial D and continued to enjoy reading right to left.

Getting off at woodlawn, that got my morning up to a cheery-ish mood. I make it to my usual spot to wait for the 20 busy to cross-county and I notice people looking in my direction..or so I thought..then I started to hear yelling through my music. Apparently an incident started to unfold right before me...more or less, Two gypsy cabs(that's what I call'em :P) and a couple in a Subaru Outback were causing a little scence. at this point I think back to what people on IRC meant when I said I was from New York. "Only in New York" so I'm hearing F*** You and Mother F***er, and that's just from forty-something white couple. It seemed like it was gonna go down when the husband approached the driver of the first cab and he pulled out his tire iron from the trunk of his cab. Nothing happened. meh! It pretty much ended when the husband said. "You wanna fight...follow me to the park 2 blocks up" There's more to the story, but that's for me to know :P .

Work Sucked! so...you don't need to know ^_^;;

The Revolution will not be televised!
....well maybe like a year or so after the dvd comes out. I went to pick up my ticket from the teather across the mall during my 1/2 hour break, picked up 3 packs of the new set of Yugioh cards and then went back to work. Did I mention I still hadn't eaten yet for the day...and my immediate cash supply was slowly running out. Back to work for like another hour..couped up in the tiny room before I broke out and made my way to watch Revolutions. Lovely it's raining a bit...and me In my black jean jacket and work clothes, I'm looking a little goth.(No comments you! :P hehe) 3:20PM Funniest thing...I got carded when I showed the girl my ticket...I was thinking "haha..F**k..I'm older than you and you're carding me?" Maybe it's because I look younger with my hair cut. *snarls* The Matinee..was fairly emty at first...only like 6 people. Then a few people come in, including a couple with a baby...just like on that new UPN show that came on the other week, the baby was quite until the movie actually started. All through the looooong previews she was happy..even the beginning CG effects...but as soon as conversation hit..*bam* whaaa! I laughed to myself because after she stopped whinning someone's nokia phone goes off, how do I know? They had the default tone set.

6:00PM or so...nope you don't have to stay to watch the movie after the credits...no extra stuff to see. The ending messed me up for a while though. By now It's full blown rain and me..only having lemonade in my stomach which I finished when the movie started I was starting to run on fumes by now. I went back to work to check my schedule one more time and Bs'ed for a while, bought a coffee cake with my last expendible dollar...needed the rest for fare... before going back out into the rain and waiting for like an hour before the express bus comes by. All the while I'm still listening to inital D. By the time I finially make it to my stop(on the train now) my mood has seriously changed and I'm listening to Evanescence. I soooo didn't want this girl to get to the turnstyle first.

So that was my week more or less. meh. Oh yeah...my mom let me borrow her car on sunday...lets just say she was more than a bit freaked when i stayed 1/2 hour later working and didn't call. heh. I called to say I was on my way and then went out to the car. My "friends" there have already left..the last ones just dusted me...as I'm waiting for the car to warm up enough cause it's just a bit cold. More or less the drive was uneventful...unlike the usual the backroad was pretty empty and so was the highway. Major Deegan(sp?) had fairly light traffic so I was "keeping up with the flow" ^_^ 10mph over the limit and I still hadn't found the station I was trying to get. Need to get that new radio soon...I'll go crazy..er

Later all
