| | UgggThe past couple of weeks have been interesting. I seem to have started to pass a kidney stone that's been developing for who knows how long. I told a friend i woke up with bad lower back pain before work but it eventually lessened.
Then a day and a half later it strikes again but doesn't stop. Felt like someone put a dagger in my kidney and started twisting... It was then I connected the two incidents of pain. Went to the ER, got a shot of morphine, had some scans done and finally got sent home with a prescription for percocets and told "good luck".
Yesterday it finally passed. Was painful but not as bad as the sensation of it leaving the kidney. Rachel named it Augustin.
Monday night was nice. Went to a birthday gathering that was small and pleasant. Reminded me of the stuff I missed about back home. The trip had to be cut early because Rachel had to get home to do homework and get to bed early. Only to decide she would miss class tuesday to focus on homework. Arg.
I look forward to more events like that. Hopefully no drama escalated after i left.
Other than that I've read two point five(2.5) books and watched a handful of movies.
I recommend "The Darjeeling Limited" and "the King of California" to anyone and everyone.
"30 Days of Night" is a good throwback to mysterious "what's going on and why" types of vampire movies. I liked it a lot but it's not for everyone. Lots of blood and it's based on a comic miniseries.
The pass time that's been eating up a lot of my free time lately is World of Warcraft. To paraphrase the Penny Arcade guys, it's a well decorated loot drop system. Can do a lot of neat things in it and there's the nostalgia effect from playing previous Warcraft titles, but overall it's just an updated version of Diablo 2 set in a different world. I may play it for a few months and grow bored, or it may be something I stick with for a while. We'll see.
My D&D group plays it. For the most part. It's a good bonding experience with them as well.
There's my update for a while. As my innards heal And the sky makes my walks to work that much more difficult...
Later.
