Hate to Love

I got back from the gym today, made dinner and saw that it was 7:30.  Too early to go to bed but too late to start any big projects.

I thought to myself, "Self you know what you haven't done in a while that would be fun to check out?  The Fantasy."

So I started the log on process.  The PS2 was hooked up to the internet and everything was a go.  I turn on, select Final Fantasy XI and of course a new Play Online version update(for those who haven't played a MMORPG this is common every month) I hit the update button and 1.3 hours remaining pops up and I smile to myself because it is already like old times.  I switch inputs and play some Wii.

About an hour and a half later I switch back to FFXI and it is restart time.  We restart and I have to go through the entire user agreement before i can hit ok.  scroll, scroll, scroll...  OK.

I log on, get to the actual FFXI log on screen and my network settings aren't properly configured [auto detect] then [restart].  this puts us back to the beginning all over again.

The restart is complete and the log on works this time.  I get to choose my little character Cienbrun and off I go into the world of Vana'diel.

I appear, in the middle of Yuhtungar Jungle with no way home, surrounded my goblins.

It's so nice to be back...
