Not again

Remember this? It happened again last night, meaning we had a 1am trip to Kenepuru. Complicated this time because we didn't want to take Logan into a germ-filled emergency room while he's still recovering from a cold, so we had to wake up Juliette's parents and drop him off there (many thanks to the in-laws).

The hospital was deserted, so I was seen immediately. They gave me a shot of morphine, after which I threw up so they gave me an anti-nausea shot. The doctor thought it was gall stones, but discharged me and sent me off to get blood tests and an ultrasound, which I had done this afternoon, confirming it was gall stones.

I've got an appointment with our GP tomorrow, to go over the results and where we go from here, but it sounds like I'm heading for surgery.

Sigh

Yes, I know its obsolete tech, but a little piece of me died when I read this news.

Phew!

My replacement Xbox has arrived! Only been without it for just under 3 weeks....

Ah, the simple things....

Playing F-19 Stealth Fighter (an old Microprose classic). With CGA graphics.

Joy. :-)

Viral dancing

Found via Techdirt, here's a video taken from the 2009 Sasquatch! Music Festival (at the Gorge Amphitheatre, George, Washington). One shirtless guy starts dancing, but by two minutes into the clip, he's been joined by a horde of others.



The actual Techdirt article is an interesting read (from the always thought-provoking Mike Masnick), following how one person's idea lead to a web service, MixTapeForYou.com. Kind of reminds me of the old 1978 BBC series, Connections.
