The ScooterBlog

So have I said today how much I love my Mac? I’m now re-using it for LiveJournal, for all my sync efforts for all my geek toys, and what the heck, gonna use it to post thoughts on some of the E3 efforts out there so far and what I’m playing and doing right now.

Work: For those of you whom don’t know, I’m back in the office in Walton. I like outside sales a little more, but I do think I’m better as an inside salesman, working the desk, handing orders and being the first line of defense. The part that sucks is simply, GAS! For the first time in my life, I paid $2 for a gallon of gas today ($2.05.9 to be exact, thanks Speedway, fookers), and I’m gotten the forward to not buy gas on the 19th like 3 times already (good luck on that one). So, the drive to work and back is like a $7 endeavour, but at least the pay got a little better to come back in. You sure can’t have it all, but you can have some of it I guess.

Gaming: Please, please, please, someone give me a stupid excuse to pop back in Final Fantasy XI! I had it all figured out … I’m gonna make 2 mule characters, I’m gonna rule the auction house, get cool stuff, keep levelling up. Instead, I’ve been at Level 12 for a month! I’m pondering suspending it, but so far I’ve resisted. I may pop it back in this weekend when I get a little time, I’m also wanting to play Madden (I’ve been slightly re-invigorated to play it again with 2005 coming soon), as well as MVP Baseball 2004, which is the best baseball game I have played in a couple of years, since WSB 2K2 on Dreamcast (WSB 2K3 on XBox is a close second, it’s worth saying).

More later, as I depart from THE Game Junkie!
