It's another week; time really can slip through ones fingers. Actually, the overall quality of my time has improved over the last few weeks, which I like. My job is about as unexciting as ever, but compared to my last few gigs, that's an upside. With the fall here, it's something I can really appreciate. I am, as it stands, still moving forward with my next several plans. More information when it becomes available, should this be of interest to you.
I've gotten some additional game playing in. I spend a lot of my time with video games these last few weeks - either Kingdom Hearts 2 (which I haven't finished, since I've taken a break) or Final Fantasy 11. I'm really back into it. Andy's been helping me out with a few quests, and I get to have a good time chatting with him as we do whatever bullshit busywork I need to do to actually advance to some kind of endgame status. Final Fantasy is an incredibly time-intensive game. Things people take for granted on forums are actually pretty difficult to schedule and execute. Traveling to the near east and making myself available to party there was a significant amount of effort. I only really have the stamina to do a few hours at a time, even on long days, so progress is slow, but I have fun.
Playing FFXI makes me really want to play in some other real RP sessions though. I may get a chance tomorrow, and I may not depending on if people are healthy and it's still on. I'd accidentally accepted a proposition to play in a tournament tomorrow without recalling that there's a Friday session. I'd really like to go, but we don't have anything really in place and Brent's ill, so I really have no idea. Magic is, therefore, a backup plan. It's good to have backups. Terrible as it is, though, I kind of want to run my old D&D setting. There's really just no chance at all of this going down. I've got the bug, though.
I can't get over generally being kind of restless. It's not the same as it was before, when I felt like I was trapped and slowly suffocating as if the air I was breathing allowed my lungs to work but, somehow, possessed no oxygen. It's not like that. It's definitely something else.
