TGIF
I am thankful that I have a 2-day weekend coming up. I find that just having one day off makes for an extremely long week the following week.
Last night was quiet - I basically spent the evening puttering about my place and then gaming for a little bit before calling it a night. I got in a DVD I'd ordered online - Top Secret! starring Val Kilmer, made in 1984 by the same folks who made Airplane!. Great stuff - very funny. I'd been talking to Jay about it and he hasn't seen it yet so we'll be able to sit down and have a laugh together one of the nights he has a bit of free time between Our Town rehearsals. We also have some INXS stuff to catch up on. :-)
Like I mentioned I gamed for a bit before hitting the hay (FFXI of course). All I wanted to do was to put a couple of items up for sale at the AH (Auction House). Unfortunately, there is a small fee of only a few gil to put something up for sale, and I didn't even have that. I decided to try fishing for a bastore sardine - then I could trade that in to an NPC (non-player character) for 70 gil (and some fame) and then I'd be able to put my stuff up for sale at the AH. Thing is, I only had 3 lugworms, couldn't afford more, and recently I've been having all sorts of bites but I keep losing my catch. Oh well, I decided I'd give it a shot anyway. Didn't I spend 20 minutes (IRL - in real life time) not catching anything before I finally caught a bastore sardine. Once I made it back to the AH and put my stacks of earth and wind crystals up for sale, I decided to call it a night.
I had a very intense dream just before I woke up this morning. It was weird because it seemed so real - I'd managed to fill in all sorts of details - and I can still remember it. Like pretty much all of my dreams, it was an action-adventure and in this one I was a secret agent undercover and I needed to get information from my source, Elizabeth Chase (I wonder what info I would have needed from her?). I'd managed to convince her to have lunch with me - and we were in an executive cafeteria - where all the surfaces were covered in boiler plate steel, but some things were trimmed in cherry wood. It was dark and my time was running out. Serving food at the cafeteria was Peter Jackson (director of LOTR)and I went to ask him if he was filming this but as I got up close, it turned out to be Csaba (from work) and I'd just mistaken him for Peter Jackson because of his scruffy beard. He was about to tell me how to get the info I needed when my alarm woke me up. Man, I wish I'd known what info I was looking for. It seemed like a good dream.
