Today sucked

Today sucked. Yeah, it sucked in the morning, it sucked in the afternoon. It didn't really suck around dinnertime 'cause I went to Shanghai Garden with Deb and Dave and Eli, before Dave had to go back to the airport to flee Seattle, but.. then it sucked when I got home and played Puzzle Pirates for a while - I got Carl and Cat both jobbed on our ship and we didn't do ANYTHING. We couldn't find targets, we couldn't find commodities, we couldn't find SHIT. Very unsatisfying, and very unprofitable too.

It stopped sucking around when I jumped on a ship with Alie, and she said "hey, let's start training you in Sea Battle"... so she kept engaging ships and letting me do the sea battle nav. My first try I managed to get four hits on the other ship, no joke! It was beginner's luck though, because the next 3-4 times I don't think I ever got more than 2 hits, and at least one or two, no hits, and once I ran into the rocks... but I think it was good for a first try! So we won battles and it was pretty cool, and I learned about radar and the crow's nest and all this other stuff. Turns out that Spinn and Alie wanted to train me as an officer. Cool beans.

The uncool beans was that I was really pissed off that they were also going to train Kiefer as an officer even though he joined our crew a day or three ago, and I joined the crew WEEKS ago. Turns out Alie can't remember who the heck people are, and got Shakti confused with Saben... since I'd mentioned that my best friend plays the game... so she was like "I figured we'd just train you both at the same time since you're best friends," and I'm like "uhhh... no. Shakti is just someone I know in real life. You must be confusing them with someone else." Which it turned out was the case.

So now I feel better, because I was all worried they were basically doing this because they were mad at me after I was thinking of jumping crew. And that's not the case.

After that we took some funny screenshots of crew people in various outfits. Amusing if you're into PP, probly not amusing to ANYONE else on the planet. Yar.

[profile] ryani went and joined one of the dumb crews just so he can be an officer, own his own ship, and take it out whenever he feels like. Weird. I guess it's a good idea, especially since he said he'd job me any time I want.

I wore the arch support inserts in my shoes today. They felt okay! Unfortunately my right knee was acting up instead. Bleh, if it's not one thing it's another. Also, I am still slacking on planning the Halloween thing. Definitely tomorrow will send out stuff, yo.

Yeah, I had them on top of the other inserts and then I figured out I had to take those out. I did, and just used the new ones, but... it just feels really uncomfortable, like I'm leaning forward.

I'm going to see if trying the stretching exercises on that link you gave me will help on its own
