My Vertiginous Week

[ry_sabir]

Vertigo sucks.  I'm just going to put that out there.

Tuesday night on the Fifth of January, I went to see Star Wars: The Force Awakens with my brother, who was in town for a visit.  I felt fine after the movie, and through breakfast the next morning.  However, around noon I started to feel a bit dizzy.  I sat down, hoping it would pass.  However

Ry! *very gently hugs*

That sucks with the vertigo. It might come off as boasting, but I knew that you could get PT for ear issues. My mom had a very as a result of her TMJ worsening and her best friend had what was basically an 'ear pearl' that severely threw off her balance before it was discovered.

Still, that is a way to look on the bright side! Do you think you'll go back to that bookstore once you recover some more?

Haha, I'm glad someone knew about it! :D

Oh, I'll definitely go back to the bookstore! It's this weird, hidden gem out in the country, located in a building behind a car lot, so there are always really interesting things to find there.

Hee! Actually, yeah, now you can write about someone on Airlandis getting struck by it! All that air pressure changing can't be good on the ear drums.

Awesome! When you do go back, let us know what you found!

would make a good test for future dragonators - who can survive the constantly changing pressure of going from Airlandis to Old Earth and back again without succumbing to vertigo

Glad you're on the road to recovery!

Thank you! I'm amazed it's taken this long to start feeling better. Haha, didn't stop me from buying books, though! XD

[strongheartmaid]

well, vertigo can be a witch like that ::firm nod::

and what did you think of the Star Wars movie? [::unashamedly wanting a toy version of BB-8::]

[ry_sabir]

I've seen it three times now...and I'm still not totally sure?

Like, I think them basically remaking A New Hope was perhaps not the best idea? (Droid with vital information on a desert planet finds untrained Jedi kid, go to a big cantina scene, fly X-wings through a trench to blow up a planet-sized weapon...) Sooo many of the story beats were the same, it distracted from getting into the movie.

Though I loved seeing the old characters again, of course, and the new actors were all pretty good (except Kylo Ren, who sounded like an emo teen). BB-8 is the most adorable thing since puppies. And the practical effects were great.

Apparently I have ~feelings~ about this, haha. Maybe I'll write up a proper review at some point.

Glad you're one the mend! I don't know enough about vertigo to offer opinions one way or the other but I can guess it sucked.
