Broke my thumb at roller derby practice (get this - we were scrimmaging, I got by ALL opposing teammates, then TRIPPED OVER MY OWN TEAMMATE and jammed my thumb into the floor). It is fine (although it kept me from bouting last month), I get it x-rayed again in about ten days. I keep banging it on shit.
Maybe it's just because I'm really surly and still play emulated SNES games, but does it bug anyone else that there are STILL people bitching about the quality of graphics in video games?
Am I just too easy to please for thinking that pretty much EVERYTHING looks awesome now? Does this mean I'm getting old? Yeah, sometimes the frame rates are shitty or the characters'... Read More
I LOVE PLAYING EMULATED GAMES!!! Though I am still going through every NES game right now.. then I will be off for SNES....
I agree people REALLY need to stop bitching and jsut go into a WOW status over the graphics we have. I mean if you look even 5 years ago we have came a LONG way. It really is amazing.
The earing idea sounds like a sweet one to me.
Yeah the pickle jar with felt bears is not for me but I really can see some of the females I know going for that.. good luck!!!
The good news: it is not retail.
The even better news: It is a guaranteed forty hours a week, with better hourly pay.
The best news: No weekends. Fuck. Yeah.
I had some random invisible scratch near my ear about a year and a half ago that developed into cellulitis ... a warm pink puffiness grew from my ear slowly over my cheek. After I was on the sofa for a day with a 102 fever I had one of those "shit like this killed Jim Henson, right?" moments and I dragged myself to the doctor, who proclaimed it a "mild, no, er moderate infection" and mentioned that I could have always gone to the emergency room, might have been a good idea actually. Bactrim took care of it. So the weirdest thing was that a week or so later, the skin over it peeled like it was sunburned. Infections that lead to fever, no thank you.
Hospital stories are awesome. I have no stories about major pus drainage but I did get stuck with a needle in the chest once to let air escape when I was about 10. If you cough long and hard and industriously enough, and are a little unlucky, you can pop a small hole in a lung through which air will flow, one way, into your chest where it will build up under your skin. It becomes a little hard to breathe and it looks not so good, and is of course accompanied by whatever malaise brought on the problem in the first place. Anyway, the air hissed out through the needle. Then I was in an oxygen tent for a week, playing cards with the nurses.
OH MY GOD, internets, I completely forgot to tell you about the horrible experience I had right around New Year's. It is a measure of how much I've changed that I forgot to tell you about it because it used to be when something really disgusting happened to me one of my first thoughts was "INTERTUBE DELIVERY AHOY".
