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….
Club Skills, a Warlock’s Tabard, a Warlock’s Tights, and BCNM 40
So my adventures in Vana’diel for the weekend (Saturday night) started with trying to join Ballista in Meriphatad Mountains. Unfortunately, I didn’t know that if I quit Ballista, then I can’t rejoin until the next game day. I had joined on San d’Oria’s team and I didn’t want that so I quit in hopes of getting on Windurst’s team. :( So I’m a Ballista newbie. :( Afterwards, Redwolfe helped me get the coffer key for my Warlock’s Tabard in Castle Oztroja. The key dropped pretty quickly, like on the 2nd monster. It look a while before the coffer popped however. I was gonna go to sleep, but then it was… time for Besieged. I can’t turn it down, especially if I don’t have work the next day.
Sunday morning, things started off by logging into Besieged in Al Zahbi, yeay! Unfortunately, I logged on too late and I didn’t get that much experience points from it. :( Afterwards, Tatewaki, Saotome, Jariten and I went to the Boyahda Tree to skill up. I got a few skill ups, but my club skills are still incredibly gimp.
After the skill up party, I went AFK and when I came back, Fynlar helped me get the coffer key in Garlaige Citadel for my Warlock’s Tights. The key dropped on the 2nd mob again, but it took a while to find the coffer. I aggroed two beetles only because I’m way too used to walking around that place as a white mage, not a weaker red mage.
It’s kinda funny, I remember coffer hunting to be much more painful. It took forever for the key to drop for in Beadeaux for my WHM AF hands, and again when I was running around for my WHM AF pants. I had to die once for my WHM AF hat, too.
Anyways, after I got my tights, I went on a BCNM 40 in Waughroom Shrine, Royal Jelly. I went in as a white mage with two other damage dealers. I got a Utsusemi: Ni which I sold and got 600k for it. It wasn’t as hard as I thought it’d be. I mean, the fight. It was pretty fun. I even got best record once, until it was wiped by Eron. >_<; Oh well. Was a fun FFXI weekend. ^_^
