I'm not dead or anything

Its True! I'm not!!

Well, it's been a busy ol' time for me, so it's time for a blog post. So, What have been up to? Allow me to educate you...

Work and so on

Yes, I'm still going to work. Hehe! As much as being a gajillionaire would suit me, I'm certain God has other plans for me. Anywhoo, I'm still at work and things are ok. I've been away from the store recently, doing training and a study for The Company. The sunshine has finally arrived in England, which means I'm of a sunny disposition. I'm sure I've got a mild case of that that SAD or something. It's been tough at work recently, but I'm still chipper. Partially because of the sun, partially because of some stuff I'm about to mention.

Home

Things at home are good. The most exiting bit is that Bexs has managed to nab herself a kids work job! Bexs has always wanted to work with kids and get paid for it, and she's getting exited about this opportunity. It was actually partially to do with me- I got chatting to a lovely lady at work and it turned out she worked in kids work. She gave me a number to give to Bexs, one thing led to another and.. w00t! Bexs got a new job.
Because Bexs is finally getting to do the kind of job she's always wanted to do, it's made me a bit cheerier knowing that at least one of us is sorted. I guess I'll have to put some thought into what I want to do with myself.

So, with that in mind, I've decided to discipline myself a little more. I've made meself a special list of certain thing I wish to achieve each month. I've been woefully behind on a lot of stuff like my cartooning, writing and all sorts of stuff like that. As soon as I get paid I'm going out and buying stationary to aid my cause. I could do with a new bookcase too.. oh, better stop before I get carried away. :P

Games

Final Fantasy

Well, first off, a level update. My Beastmaster job is now riding high at level 50. 25 Levels seperate me fromt he top level of 75, but there is much to be done before I can progress. First, I have to get that silly sub job of mine to level 30.. secondly, there's a bunch of quests I need to do, the first of all being my Genkai Quests.


Basically, it means this:

The quest I'm doing is fairly simple- travel to three places, kill certain monsters who drop certain items, give them to the old guy. Easy. But I've also been putting in some effort in some other quests. The most notable of which is getting Rank 6 for my nation. Once it's all done, I'll be able to progress. Here's a pic of me and my linkshell, Devotion, kicking the Shadow Lord's butt. The Shadow Lord is kind of mean.

Once again, Devotion saved the day. ;)

Monster Hunter

I thought I'd pop a bit here about my jaunts into Monster Hunter, as I've been playing it a heck of a lot. I've been ploughing through tons of nasty monsters ranging from great Wyverns to Giant Crabs, with the occasional giant Gorilla thrown in. I think the summer seems to have fed my addiction to this game.. hunting monsters seems to go well with sunshine. It was the same when I had the first Monster Hunter on my PS2.
