September 12th

I found out yesterday that this is the estimated due date of my soon to be child. While it is a bit closer to September 11th than I would like (for obvious reasons) I am happy nonetheless that I finally know how long the wife has been pregnant. Now I can do some real planning for this whole ordeal, like getting a new place to live, setting up finances, insurance crap, etc etc. All in all it looks to be a very exciting and frustrating time.

In other news Barack Obama took both Hawaii and Wisconsin with ease and has pulled even further ahead of Hillary. Nothing short of a convincing sweep of the Big 3 will keep her hopes alive at this point. She resorted to some very negative campaigning in Wisconsin and it didn't even make a dent in Obama's support. He has now taken her over in her bread and butter demographics of women voters and blue-collar workers. The only one she leads in now is the over 65 crowd, and frankly most of them grew up in the times of terrible racism in this country. I am predicting a Barack win in Texas and a close loss in Ohio which should give him enough of a lead for Hillary to concede. Like I've said before, the Clintons have shown time and time again that they are cutthroat and selfish and that they will do anything to get what they want, so they may drag this out to the very end.

In FFXI news, with the massive amounts of Kirin runs we have been doing lately I managed to snag myself a Dryadic Body Abjuration. So then I sold just about everything I own to get a Cursed Togi and turned it into a Shura Togi, which is pretty much the best Monk body armor in the game. I tried adding an image but Blogspot is being retarded right now. Hopefully I'll be able to get a Kirins Osode in the not too distant future, which is sexy for all my jobs, especially BST. Haven't done much else besides level my Cooking mule a bit more (33.5 now) but I'm off all weekend so I'll be able to play a lot. Maybe I'll get to see Shay again finally >_> she seems to have disappeared on me without saying anything. I'm sure she has a good reason, but I hope to see her soon.
