So I have to level a crafting skill in FFXIV... UGH!

Good morning everyone,

Last night's stream was very productive as it related to clearing out side quests in Final Fantasy XIV in areas related to Shadowbringers, as I knocked out everything possible in two major areas. One can forget that all the maps for Shadowbringers were huge and there was a lot of ground to cover, since it was basically supposed to be a mirrored version in some regard to what players experience prior to that point in the game.

Of course there is one quest that requires a Crafting Skill to even access, which meant I finally had an 'excuse' to resume leveling both Carpentry and Botany, because I know there are similar quests at level 90 in the Endwalker related areas that were added to the game. 

At least going forward I can split the stream into side questing for a large portion and added crafting leveling on the back end. It won't be thrilling, but hey, we'll get it done. If I focus on crafting bulk items, I should be able to level up carpentry pretty quick, as I did get up to level 34 (with a bit done off stream)

For the raid we dropped in on oldish22 who was also playing Final Fantasy XIV over on twitch.tv/oldish22! 

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout featured Straight Combo #2, Block Combo and Difficulty Challenge Combo #2 for 31 minutes.

Work was meh yesterday, but at least one assignment that involved interviewing some of the biggest collection of jerks possible is done with. Hopefully we can end the work week on a high note.

Not to brag, but I defeated our local chess champion in less than five moves. Finally my high school karate lessons came to some use.

I hate Russian dolls. They're so full of themselves.

The World Series begins tonight, and the way I figure, the Phillies have to win in six games or less, because the Astros have much more depth if it were to go seven. 

Got the intro part written for the TNA short story that was commissioned earlier this week, took a while to figure out the best way to write it, and I have another commission request in the queue for a short story based on Until Dawn and one of the more hilarious moments of that game.

Speaking of which for tonight's stream we're playing the back half of Until Dawn, chapters 6 through 10 to finish the game for this year.

So on that note we'll see you later over on twitch.tv/fredcasden!
