I guess it’s been a while since I made an entry. On the other hand, I haven’t been doing that much.
Keceltes went off to Taiwan for a bit. It’s a bit similar to when Chipya went to Japan for six months, except that we cared about Chipya. We threw a little going away party FFXI style. Keceltes more or less just told the LS that this was going to be his last gaming session for a while and left. So there was no time for the Goblin fireworks. That doesn’t really bother me though. I knew that he was leaving in advance. It’s one of the perks of being one of his real life friend. No, the thing that bothers me the most is that I didn’t really do anything for his last day. Sure I went to his party and had a couple of sake bombs, but I didn’t do anything in-game for him. Oh well. Yet another regret to add to a list of regrets for a person who tries to live his life without them.
The aftermath of Keceltes’ leaving resulted in the breakup of the level 50-ish static party. Then I got bored of the game again and left for a bit. I came back to finish the ToaU missions though. Unfortunately, it wasn’t quite as hard and thus not as satisfying as CoP. I still got a neato earring.
I still sign on every other Wednesday though. Most of the LS are involved in other LSes with their dynamis runs, sky, and stuff. I guess Enginerds wasn’t one of those large item gathering LSes. More like a gathering of a small group of sarcastic friends. I’m quite happy with that.
Chipya is trying to get me more involved with assault nights, Mondays. Something about Nyzul runs. It sounds nice and I don’t want to let him down, but I’m not entirely sure I want to do them. I think I would rather do regular assault runs, but then again I’m enjoying having the time to play other games. I’m almost done with FFIV for the DS. 
Maybe one day someone will read this blog and find out my true feelings, but who really cares. I’m sure things will change if Keceltes decides to return to FFXI.
This post was typed entirely on my new iPhone. The typing speed isn’t that bad. I’ve hoped you’ve enjoyed this little insight into the Taru mind.

– was just searching through on my name and my characters name (i do that on occasion for kicks and giggles) and ran across your blog – i found your blogs about the assault runs WAY back over a year ago highly entertaining 
– then saw you had just posted for like the first time in 6 or 7 months and decided I’d reply to it for fun ;^^: – i didn’t know you to well in game but do remember that I had fun overall whenever we had done something together 
FYI i know what the whole game thing is like – i got married November of last year and my game time dropped dramatically – though fortunately I figured out a new time to play (my wife and i excercise at 4am in the morning before she goes to work so now i play at 5-am est – wicked early but not much else to do before work).
I still see chip regularly for salvage
no clue what time zone you are in but if you want an assault static i do one at 5am once/twice a week (mostly so i can keep doing salvage)
Have fun!

Oh geez, 5am… That would be 2am PST. Hopefully if I’m sane, I would be sleeping at that time.
Thanks for the invite though, it is much appreciated.
I guess I’ve been blogging FFXI off and on for quite a while now. I have a link to the old website called, “A Day in the life of a Tarutaru.” Man… it looks like I’ve been playing this game off and on since December 2003. I guess I should have all the cool equipment, but I’m not the type that likes to camp for hours on end for things or do the end game events like Dynamis. Oh well.
I do like to think that I make excellent company though.
Thanks for commenting. It makes me think that more people actually read this thing besides Chipya and Keceltes… maybe Tyrni too.
