In what was the greatest (American) Football game I have ever seen, my Eagles stomped the shit out of the sorry ass Cowboys tonight 44-6 to clinch the final playoff spot in the NFC. It was just total, unadulterated rapage the Eagles dished out tonight and I loved every minute of it. Fuck TO, fuck Jerry Jones, fuck Tony Homo, fuck Pacman Jones, fuck the shitty bandwagon Dallas fans, you can all kiss my Cheesesteak eating Philly ass. I hate the Dallas Cowboys in case you can't tell. God embarrassing them so badly on national TV, with the playoffs on the line, was just beyond epic.
So yeah I know I haven't posted in a while. Its been a combination of things but mostly lack of motivation. My Christmas was good and extremely hectic. I visited more family than I even knew I had and got to show the baby off to everyone. Of course she got a bajillion presents while all I got was some T-shirts and socks, but meh I guess I should get used to it.
In FFXI its been pretty much soloing SAM in my limited free time lately. Its up to almost 34 and will be capped as a sub shortly. I'll probably move on to RDM next, though I was actually considering THF first (its 26 currently). With the exp changes for EP-DC mobs and Fields of Valor soloing up subs is easy as hell now.
I'm also starting to plan my "end game" right now, which means the end of me playing FFXI. Things haven't been exactly as I expected with the kid free time wise, and I don't see myself getting normal play time again any time soon. Soling subs in my free time is ok for now, but not enough to keep me around. Right now I'm targetting the end of WoTG expansion as my exit, but things can change and I may stick around longer. Its not the first time I've planned to quit and not gone through with it so don't panic. As for my To-Do list before then, finishing up Bonecraft (97.6 atm) and AU and WoTG missions are at the top of my list. After that who knows but another job to 75 would be nice, just have to decide what one.
Well thats all for now, see you all later

My new toy
I added a new little toy to my blog over there to the right. Its my Bush counter, counting down the time he has left before leaving office. We are so close to finally being rid of him, yet still so far away. It can't come soon enough in my opinion.
So its rapidly approaching Christmas and I haven't bought anything yet. I'm not going to really buy much since I have no money right now, but something small for the family. I wish Alyssa was a little older so it would be more fun, but next year I can go crazy and enjoy it more. She is still growing pretty quickly right now and has outgrown a bunch of her clothes already. We have another appointment next week and I can't wait to see how tall she is and how much she weighs now.
In FFXI news I got my SAM up to 19 by mass exterminating EP and DC mobs. That new Fields of Valor thing seems kind of interesting, though most people say its better just to mass kill everything in sight instead of targetting the specific mobs it gives you to kill. I'll have to try it out. This coming Saturday night I am completely free for the first time in months, and I'm hoping to get a lot done. I am hoping to start out doing some stuff with Shay, maybe level BLM, then after she goes to bed try and do AU44 again with Soul. If we can't manage that hopefully we can knock out the new WoTG quests and missions.
Depending upon if I have to pick Alyssa up or not I may be able to play a few hours Sunday morning too. Then I'll probably just solo more if noone else in on.
Well thats all for now, time to actually do some work.

My old past time returns
Its been a while since I talked about Politics, figured I might as well give it a whirl today.
So Obama has been steadily naming his White House staff members over the past few weeks, and he finally starting cranking out the big ones. He named Hillary Clinton as his Secretary of State in a move that doesn't really surprise me. Its one of the most important and prestigious positions in our government and I think she will do well there with her considerable foreign relations experience (just in case you were wondering what exactly this position is, Condeleeza Rice is the current SoS).
He also kept Robert Gates, a Republican, as the Secretary of Defense, another good move in my opinion. He was probably the only good thing to come of Bush's choices for staff besides Rice, and I expect he will continue to do well under Obama. All in all its looking like a good start to hopefully a great presidency.
In Alyssa news, she's starting to get big. Well not really big, she's just been growing really fast all of a sudden. The Newborn diapers barely fit her anymore and I'm hoping to finish them all off before moving to the size 1's. Her poop is also starting to stink. Badly. Thankfully she only does it once a day so its not too bad. She also eats twice as much as she did when we first brought her home, and more frequently too. We finally moved her out of the basinette in my bedroom to the crib in her room and so far she doesn't like it lol. Oh well she'll get used to it, she was getting too big to stay where she was.
In FFXI I finally managed to get my Dancer to 37 over the past few days and am likely to move onto SAM sub next. I want to get that to at least 25 or so before doing anything else. I'm also now 0/17 skill-up attempts in Bonecraft and still sitting on 97.3. I will get this damn craft to 100 I swear it.
Well thats about all for now, later
