Mostly marked here so I can find it easily later.

So last night I broke down and ordered some DVDs from DVD Pacific using my credit card. Yes, I know-horrifically deep in debt from medical bills and what not. I think I was just tired of working and never really having any fun with the money I was earning, so I spoiled myself a little. Here's the list of swag that I ordered...

Today was the final radiation treatment. There are no further treatments of any sort scheduled. I have a checkup in about a month with my oncologist and probably 2 months after that they will do a CAT scan to see how everything in my neck is doing that. Providing nothing out of the ordinary has happened I will have yearly tests to monitor and make ( Read more... )

I was reading about a samurai movie made back in 1929, in Japan's silent film era (which apparently went on a lot longer than in the west). Anyway, best title ever. Man Slashing Horse Piercing Sword. Apparently it doesn't really exist anymore because the Allies gathered up all the samurai movies they could find and destroyed them. I guess they felt ( Read more... )

Tomorrow is the 47th anniversary of Yuri Gagarin's flight into space. Rather than waste a lot of time with my own inarticulate words here's a couple quotes from the first space adventurer ( Read more... )

Tomorrow stray particles will fly through my neck at the speed of light with the intention of killing the alien. Also, new comics day!

So I paid up my insanely-late bills today, going from new paycheck to I-can't-afford-to-eat-or-buy-gas in a record five minutes. Well this isn't entirely true but it certainly feels that way. I do like how pretty much every one of my bills comes with a warning that they'll be notifying collections soon, as if I can somehow conjure up money if they ( Read more... )

"It's the sole escape from The Restless! Two to do." said Muhammad Smalls. "...something. I dare to be common. You...your hits belong in this room. And your sets? Where they enjoy you. This room hates you. Like the rules of youth can't...oh don't! If your Truth stormed it would make a crowded table. You can't get yours. Same with Maia ( Read more... )

Man, what a week. First Gary Gygax died, which I found to be pretty sad. Not because it was an ill-timed death (the man was in his late 60s) but simply because it's always sad to see the elder statesman of your hobby go. He was a titan of gaming, we all stand on his shoulders. Well his and Dave Arneson, but he's still alive so he'll have to wait ( Read more... )

Last night I was sleeping away pretty good when the dog (that damned dog!) decided she needed to get up in the middle of the night. Not so strange, dogs don't keep a very normal schedule. Unfortunately, instead of going right back to bed she decided to run downstairs, bounce on my bed and lick my head, waking me up. This is bad. Bad because in my ( Read more... )
