So after logging in last night and BSing with a friend for a bit, I decided to do a Choco Race (see links for a schedule) since that will probably be the only way my BLM gets any exp for a while. After riding a choco from Sandy to Bastok, I get a Dragon Chronicle which gives me 650ish exp. Not bad, not good, just meh.
Anyways, I decide that since I was in Bastok that I should do a simple quest to grab a hat for my RDM that I'm going to be leveling soon. Since I'm taru, I have the luxury of being able to equip +mnd or +int hats instead of having to use a +mp hairpin. After doing the quick and easy quest for a Traveler's Hat, I decide that I should mule whatever RDM equips that I have so that I can start exping soon.
IT TOOK ME OVER AN HOUR TO DO IT!!!!
I couldn't believe it. Part of it was having to go to the AH and buy some additional equips, but I had to go there anyways since I had to send stuff anyway. There are just somethings that take a lot longer then they should.
At least now I know that I should make better use of my Mog Locker, and by better use, I mean just start using it.
The good thing is that it's now over and I just need to grab some food and signet before heading out to the dunes until lvl 15. There's a handful of equips that I'm going to swap out at that time and I'd at least be able to ride a chocobo back there from a starting city.
I doubt that I'll log on tonight since the Ravens are playing, with a chance to clinch the AFC North division. My 6th wedding anniversary is on Saturday, so I probably won't be on that night either, although, there's a slight chance that I'll be able to log on for a bit during the day.

Updates
I didn't get a chance to write a new post last night like I had hoped to but I did make some updates. I've listed a bunch of my favorite FFXI links and some blogs from fellow Linkshell members. The Blogs are just listed alphabetically, but I tried to list the links based on how often I use them.
The WC Forums link is pretty usless to you unless you're a member of the Linkshell. If you play FFXI and are on the Fairy server feel free to apply for membership. Although, you must be Windurstian in order to get a pearl (hence the name Windurstian Crusade).
FFXI Atlas is a great site for any navigation issues that you might be having in game. On more then one occasion I've talked friends out of sticky situations thanks to that site. Plus, I just like to go exploring some times and it's much more enjoyable to do so while not getting lost.
Most of the other links I use mainly for research and/or planning. I try to lay out which equips I might need for a job well before I need it. The various sites also give good insight on all of the different missions and quests that you can do. My current favorite for that is FFXIclopedia which I've been finding various little nuggets of very helpful info that I haven't seen on the other sites yet. Most notably the nugget I saw about how the antlion NM, for CoP mission 3.3, doesn't regen if you just fight it on top of it's spawn point.
I can't think of any other content in which to add at the momment. So until things change, just check back periodically for any new blog posts. If you want to recommend any other things that I may have missed, please post a comment to let me know and so that you get the credit for it.

A quick hello
Just something to get started here. I'll try to post a little more tonight once I get home from work. Just one quick thing...
I don't think anything in FFXI is as fun as when doing a mission, especially a BCNM type mission fight, and the shit starts to hit the fan. MP starts running low, HP starts dropping into the orange and/or red, and then somehow, someway, the group pulls it out.
