This afternoon I made one of my regularly irregular visits to have my left ear re-tubed. My hearing at the moment is awful. The tube in my ear fell out shortly before going into the hospital, and without it the world sounds like my head is underwater. Sound is muffled and distorted. Honestly, for me this isn't a problem. However the people who have to...

Ya' know Ms. Clinton, if you'd been half as fierce about protesting the war in Iraq, or holding the current administration accountable for their clearly illegal activities while you were a senator as you are about winning the Democratic nomination for president, I would probably want to vote for you. But you didn't, and I don't. Have fun in obscurity.
I came home today. The surgery worked, and I now have options again. The immediate future contains a much lower probability of my death than it did 4 days ago. I'm still pretty out of it, but I wanted to let those of you who were concerned that I'm alive. Thank you for your thoughts and support,

I have official dates for my stay in your city. I'll be up July 3 through 7 or 8. Good times must be had.

You still have the same phone number as you did last time I was up?
Well another week, and another hospital stay. I was admitted on my birthday because I sprung a leak again. Just under the area they had stitched Monday before. They got me into opeating room that night, removed that dialysis access, and closed up the hole. Unfortunately that began a series of unfortunate events which has left me with almost no usable dialysis accesses. Today will...

Best wishes. *hugs* 
Ever since the unpleasantness on Monday, the days leading up to my birthday have been a blast. I built my new computer! With monitor the bill came to $800, and I'm satisfied with it. Here are the specs for people interested in that kind of thing:
Processor: AMD 8650 Phenom x3
Motherboard: Gigabyte Ga-MA78GM
Video card: Nvidia 8800gt
RAM: 2gig DDR2 800
Case: Cooler Master...

The following is my Livejournal post on the events of the day. It's a little more in depth on what happened this afternoon, and includes everything that came after.

So the good thing about being rushed to the emergency room today is that I got a visit from Nixon. I mean, c'mon, how many sick people get to say they get suprise visits from Suicide Girls when they end up in the ER?
So why was I in the ER? Well, I kind of started bleeding. Maybe that's not the right way to...

Rest well my friend. I'm sure my moderate amount of pain is miniscule to what you're dealing with today. On the plus side, I have opiates!

oh my God, hun!! Are you ok?! *hugs*
Tonight - Peking duck and a movie.
Tomorrow - dialysis and possible adventure.
Sunday - Anything is possible
Monday - The parts for my new PC arrive. There will be much assembling and testing and possible swearing.

Holy crap. I put my EQ2 toon on the market at around 11am. It's now 4pm and it's sold for $700.
I should have priced it higher =(

A few days ago I made a huge batch of spaghetti sauce. More sauce than I know what to do with since I'm not all that into spaghetti these days. The thought of what to do with all this marinara was weighing on my mind, so I decided to put it to use. There are possibly dozens of recipes that call for use of spaghetti...

Tonight I finally watched Cloverfield. After following the ARE (E for experience instead of G for game. It doesn't seem to crossover into meatspace) I was looking forward to seeing it in theaters. That didn't happen, though, due to me not having a car, and knowing the two people who lived here at the time with cars wouldn't want to go. But now I can...

Sid Meier's Pirates is a fun game, until you figure out how to cheat. Well, not really cheat so much as just continue to play basically forever. My pirate is currently somewhere around 80, and has pirating for 60 years. I captured every existing port for the Dutch, and then switched sides and recaptured them all for the British. Fuck the spanish and french. I'm not doing anything for them.
I've been having much more fun with Sid Meier's railroads.

It's even easier than that. Just keep your crew size small, and never divide the plunder.
Movies I have watched in the few last weeks:
Unforgiven - Fucking amazing. Clint Eastwood maybe my favorite American director ever. At least he is this week.
30 Days of Night - meh. It's vampires. They kill stuff. I probably would have liked this movie a lot more 10 years ago. You know, when horror movies still effected me.
Seven Samurai; Yojimbo; and Sanjuro -...
