I won’t talk about FFXI in this post, so those of you who are sick of me talking about the game, read on.
Health and Exercise:
This comes as no surprise to most of you, but DAMN am I ever tired. The yo-yoing temperatures here (+30°C one day, 5°C the other) are completely destroying me.
I’ve completely fallen off the workout bandwagon and I’m totally feeling it. I haven’t gone up a size, but stuff feels tighter on me, and I generally feel unhealthy. I’m not quite sure how to get back on track, though… (Exercising at work is no longer an option.)
Writing:
NaNoWrMo starts in 31 days and I’m barely prepared. I’ve been trying to write more to get the creative juices flowing, but it’s not helping much. I keep joking that FFXI stifles creativity, but that might not be too far from the truth given that I’m having a hard time coming up with non-FFXI stories. Anyways, I’m posting stuff sporadically on That Other Blog of Mine, if you care to look.
Money, Money, Money:
My dream of paying off my Mastercard evaporated when Eris got sick, but I’m slowly chipping away at it again. I’m back down below my original limit, and I should be able to put another $700 on it next month. Hopefully I’ll have it paid off by the end of January (that’s the next three paycheque month for Sky).
I managed to pay off my air conditioning, so now I have the Sears card in case I need to buy a new washer/dryer… which, judging from the sounds of things, might have to be soon. However, I’m a little dismayed at the SIZE of the appliances these days; I don’t need a washer that can fit 5 loads! We do relatively small loads due to colours, and something that big seems like a gigantic waste of water (yes, I know you can control load size). Anyways, hopefully I won’t need one right away.
I’m… actually being responsible and opening an RRSP next week. I’m not going to put much in it — maybe $50 per month — but I want the option to be there for if I need to bury some money come tax time. (I still don’t understand how I could owe money last year.)
Pets:
Eris is doing okay. She’s back on dry food in the morning and canned in the evening (the latter coming with her meds). I’m seeing bigger stools, but nothing like it was before. That vet food is horribly expensive, though ($55 for a 10lb bag?!), and I’m hoping to take her off it completely soon.
Video Games:
I’ve lost interest in Dissidia and I’m not quite sure why. I honestly don’t think it’s FFXI, but more that the English version seems to have removed the shiny factor for me. Also, I CAN’T STAND Zidane’s English voice; I really love Paku Romi’s performance and the English voice just ruins the character completely.
I’ve been watching Sky play Persona 4 and I’m enjoying the story so far. The characters don’t seem forced or trite, and I find it easy to sympathize with them. He’s only halfway through the game and he’s played 65 hours so far, which kinda puts this game in the “Dragon Quest” category of Extremely Long Games.
Music:
For some reason, I’ve started listening to some Yonekura Chihiro again. Her songs are really uplifting!
That’s about all I can think of. Tired Cas is tired, so I’m going to flake out until Sky gets home.
