Not much to update, but...

Basically mostly starting crafting Alchemy (which is far harder to level where I need it to go than Cooking), some levelling Ninjitsu magic, finally got Nyzul to 25 (and helped two other people who had been stuck on it a year in so doing, at least!!), helped Kimiko with the Battle of Jeuno...

Got two more L1 Merits on Dancers and farming in the promies for merit points and some memories to clean up some space.

So an interesting week -- also cleaning out some of the clutter getting ready for Temporary Effect: Storage or Inventory or Locker/Safe/Satchel Space -10 -- erm, Mog Bonanza...

Couple of other things:

-- Pending time on my end: I'm planning on doing another Top 10 list, this time "Good Riddance to Bad Rubbish (2009)". This year, I might be doing a post a day from Dec 22-31, but we'll see on that. No promises -- just a plan.

-- The Speed Gamers are wrapping up their holiday marathon for Ally's House, a charity which pays for children's cancer care for families who might not be able to afford it (because of the fucking insurance companies who are going to rape us while our "President" stands over there and laughs at us dying, but that's another rant off of FFXI!). They're doing Pokemon games in a "Gotta Catch Em All" Marathon until at least Monday afternoon sometime. Check them out at thespeedgamers.com. Current status as of posting this (~11:15 PM PST Sunday night): 407 (or so) of the 493 required Pokemon caught. Funds raised for Ally's House: $13,025.37 out of a $15,000 goal.
