| Well, last night(about 2am) I went to the hospital, because my tonsils were not getting any better, and I had a rising fever. Went to Middletown Hospital, got admitted right away. The nurse at the check in station looked at my tonsils and basically said "Wow! I an't believe you can still breathe!" Then for about the next 15 or 20 minutes, various doctors and nurses came by to see my tonsils and all said that they had never seen anything like it. The nurse then tried to find a good vein to put an IV in, she stuck me twice in the left arm, and after getting nowhere there I told her she could use my right arm. she then got the vein immediately. The doctor told her to administer I believe it was decadrine to reduce my swelling, and then something else to reduce my feve. both seemed to work just fine. about 5 the nurse came in and said that the tests showed that I had Mono. no strep. So...That's basically the end of the story, I have Mono, not strep, the doc I went to was wrong and should have done a throat culture even though she didn't think I really needed a culture done. I now have the joy of letting Tiffany know that I have mono...woo...hoo...
Just a brief addendum...
"Warner Bros. is so excited about 300, Snyder's adaptation of Frank Miller's Greek-history-as-superhero tale, that they handed him the keys to Alan Moore's Watchmen, another sacred text for comics fans. 300 opens nationally March 9; Watchmen is scheduled for a 2008 release." | | |
| another week, another illness. This sucks a LOT. I went to the doctor's today and was told I most likely have strep. For the record, this is the first time I have ever had strep. My tonsils are as big as cats, it hurts to swallow, it hurts to talk, it just generally hurts. any prayers would be greatly appreciated. Hopefully the Amoxicillin will do its job.

| Well, just over a week, and another update on the ol' blog, I guess i'm getting back into the habit ok.
First off, for all my nerd friends(do I have any other kind?) Check THIS out!!!(note: it's star wars related)
Second, if you like film at all, SEE PAN'S LABYRINTH!!(note the caps, bold, italics, and underline denoting its importance). This movie was spectacular. The artistic direction was stunning, the music was incredible, the acting and story were good. This movie had everything in it that tells me why I like movies.
Thirdly, i was sick all weekend, but am feeling much better now. I suppose that's about it, sayanora.
Oh yeah, in my illness, I finished reading Terry Pratchett's Wintersmith(great book), and am now reading Michael Crichton's Next(so far a good book.)

| Sorry for the long absense of posting, school's kept me ridiculously busy.
Wow...after watching just one episode of it, I may already have a new favorite anime. The anime in question is called Bartender. Basically it's about a bartender and the clientelle of of his bar in the Ginza District of Tokyo called Eden Hall. The gist of the show is that people come in, and they order a drink, or have him make a drink for them, and there ends up being some story surrounding the drink. Also each episode shows how to make one of the cocktails displayed in the show.

On Saturday, I came to a startling realization. Wal-Mart has leprosy! "What?!!" You ask and exclaim at the same time. Well, hear me out. it basically works like this. If a person has leprosy, they have pieces of skin and stuff falling off of them fairly often. What is more like skin to a store than their prices? Nothing, that's what. Therefore, Wal-Mart, with its "Watch for falling prices" marquee everywhere is basically saying, hey, look at me, i'm a leper! Wal-Mart doesn't care where its prices fall, they just fall all around, everywhere, not caring who is effected by them. So, there you have it, plain and simple, Wal-Mart is leprous.
PS. is there anything more fitting for discussion about leprosy than the fact that i'm playing a surgery based game?
