I just woke up from a crazy yet very awesome dream where all I can remember so far is walking down a dark street in new york listening to some jazz through my headphones, then arguing with my dad about trust issues, while swimming in the hudson river with a metal frame stuck around me then going under and back up again, without any clothes on. I then argue at my brother down the phone, he asks if I'm drunk and I say NO MY FRIENDS HURT. I think its a good idea to buy a plane ticket and 2 taxis for a boat across the hudson river, I then suddenly end up on a home street, and buy lots of sweets and food and eat them, the cool thing is they actually taste like sweets and everything feels good
Then I wake up, find out dinner is left for me, it's some weird disgusting casserole (which I hate) and my mum lies to me saying it's chilli, when it's clearly NOT a chilli.
Re-watching Full Metal Panic! The Second Raid for the first time in six years. I would have expected the intervening years to have jaded me to this show, but damn if I don't still enjoy every freaking minute of it's action and silliness.
This is the first time i've hiccuped in several years, and it's so violent
Last time I got hiccups that wouldn't quit, I was at a bar and rather inebriated. Pro tip: DON'T try to cure your hiccups with tequila shots. It makes matters altogether worse.
ETA: I'm sure there was a page that had even more of these, (and even more offensive ones...) but I can't find it, boooooo.
I posted a bunch of these in here after someone else started it a while back, but I wouldn't even begin to know where to look, so here's what I had bookmarked. And yes, some of them are terrible, viewer discretion is advised, etc.
God, I love Giant Bomb. Only they can turn a livestream of Dead Space 2 MP into a phantasmagoria of spinning Jeff Gerstmanns and tiny 80's rappers dancing atop a coffee cup.
As far as I'm concerned, anybody who saw the movie in 3D was ripped off by their theater. But that's just me.
On the other hand, the last (and only) movie I saw in 3D was Monsters vs. Aliens, so I admit I'm a little curious to see how a movie like Tron would look. Not curious to pay the outrageous price of admission, but curious none the less.
My paternal grandfather has been in hospital the past few days because he had a nasty fall - he walked out of his front door and fell flat on his face. In doing so he punctured a lung and suffered a collapse chest as well as breaking a couple of bones in his hand. And this wasn't his first fall recently as he also fell down his stairs onto his head a few days before the other fall but he didn't go into hospital for that one.
During his first day at the hospital he didn't really know what was going on - he thought he was in a hotel and didn't understand why his wife wasn't staying with him. The next day he seemed better, and he knew where he was. So you could put that earlier behaviour down to shock. But that changed today. Today he thought he was preparing for a meeting with an accountant regarding the garage he used to own. I guess the doctor and nurses were already worried about his mental well being after the first day because they arranged for him to undergo an assessment of his memory and other mental abilities.
First the doctor asked him if he recognised his wife which he did. He was then asked if he knew where he lived but he could only remember the house number. Then when asked what he thought they we doing there he said that they were going to a meeting. Then she asked him what year it was and he said 1948. She also asked when the war ended and his reply was 1918. One of the last things the doctor did was to give him a random address and asked him to remember it for a bit. Then she asked him to count down from 20 but was able to do that with a lot of help. And then when asked to recite the address that the doctor gave him he gave a completely different address.
They also asked my step grandmother if he's being doing strange things recently and having memory lapses and eventually she said that things have happened like him suddenly deciding to go walking out the door for no reason, behaving like a petulant child when asked to put his coat on and then not really remembering what had happened the next day but just something that he knew he should be ashamed about. All in all it seems that he's been getting a bit odder over the last year or so. The doctor said that there were more ways to assess him and that he will be getting some brain scans and the like.
They're not really saying what it could be but my mother and I have a few ideas, like trauma from the falls (but that doesn't really explain the aberrant behaviour of the past year) or something like Alzheimer's Disease (that's what we think is most likely). Hopefully we'll find something concrete soon and that whatever it is, it is treatable.
Women in my family die young. My maternal grandmother and aunt died after I was born but before I could have memories of them (I was 2 at most), I did have a great-grandmother (pater-maternal) who died a few years later, then my grandmother died when I was a teen (the one I did get to know) and then my aunt died... (on my father's side).
My father's brother divorced so I also lost an aunt that way (in a way. I hardly ever saw either of them before anyways, maybe once every three years or something).
My paternal grandmother remarried and his second wife died too.
So now I have three brothers, two grandfathers and a father on one side, and a mother I hate and wish I didn't have on the other side. Not a lot of females in my family, and they keep dying!
Honestly, it scares me for my own life expectancy. In my family, males pretty much don't die at all (I can only think of one male who died in my lifetime: my great-grandmother's brother, and he only died a couple years ago!), and females just fall like flies.
My paternal grandfather has been in hospital the past few days because he had a nasty fall [...]
I hope I die before I get to the stage where I'm a burden on whatever family I have at that point. I've seen enough of nursing homes and palliative care units to know that I never want to live in one (pale imitation of living that it is). So many of the residents are broken and confused, any verve or vibrance long gone, basically just waiting for death to come claim them.
My remaining grandmother is currently in a nursing home, after a couple of strokes and having lost a leg to gangrene. She's been in steady physical, mental and emotional decline for a couple of years now. It's as though at some point she just gave up. It's so painful to witness - especially when she makes a smart joke or something and you catch a glimpse of the woman she used to be.
One day everyone will discover the shameful truth that I'm actually just a spectacularly clever spambot.
So I just nodded off while playing Kingdom Hearts...and managed to continue playing. I don't know if that's impressive, scary, sad, or all three. To be fair, it was only a few seconds and I was doing an incredibly repetitive task, but still.

Wanna rub my unicorn?
That I do. But only little tiny white lies that help prevent me from getting into trouble!
I don't believe you...;)
The obvious implication is that I'm well beyond good and halfway into awesome!

Goodsome? Or dare I say... COOLSOME!? The jig is up, whatever "the jig" may be!
The plot thickens!
Don't sell yourself short, you're practically in "Holy crap, can this girl actually exist?" territory.

Good times.
*looks down*
Yep, I'd say it's a sure bet I'm a girl.
Why do you ask?
It's hard, but Rareware's platformers are much harder and better, not that this is in dispute. Also, Space Station Silicon Valley.
That would take away loads of fun.
... I liked Space Station Silicon Valley. ._.
I was saying that it's BETTER than SM64.
Pics or it didn't happen.
oh please go no!
how there was no 3d only the credits
no 3d depth no nothing!
Okay, this has been bugging me for a while, Were you even paying attention to The Grid? Everything in the grid, EVERYTHING, is 3D.
I seriously think your movie theater ripped you off. The entire movie was 3D.
On the other hand, the last (and only) movie I saw in 3D was Monsters vs. Aliens, so I admit I'm a little curious to see how a movie like Tron would look. Not curious to pay the outrageous price of admission, but curious none the less.

It's going to be really nice, and I can't wait I really miss him.

Well... at some point I fell asleep and when I woke up the hiccups were gone, so I suppose you could say it worked in some capacity!
