Small, RL update - mostly because I'm tired of typing it out 400 times to everyone that asks. I've developed a malady called Sciatica. This means I hearniated a disc in my lumbar spine (most likely while I was doing merchandising work with lots of lifting and crap back in Feb. '07 for Shoppers Drug Mart... should I sue? =P) which is on its own not very serious or dangerous, but its misalignment means it's pinching on the 'sciatic' nerve in my hip/upper leg. So, it's not serious, and it's not operatable, but it's unbelievably painful. I'm was on 3-6+ tylenol 3, plus 2-4 of a strong anti-inflammatory called meloxicam or something, plus 4-8 ibuprofen every day, and not feeling a difference at all.
What does this mean? It means I'm in a lot of pain, usually grumpy, forced to stay home from school and drag my ass in to work at a walk pace so slow old ladies are passing me. It's not fun, and I usually don't have the patience for FFXI. Part of me hates complaining, but the other part says 'fuck it this is my blog and no one's forcing you to read it!' ... so there!
Uhm what else.. WoW got boring, like I knew it would. That game has some decent ideas, but it's like tying a raft of logs together with bits of string. Try floating on it and you don't get very far before it falls apart. That, and, if you have an IQ over 100 you'll feel sorely out of place with the 12-year-olds and others too stupid to move out of their gramma's basement.
So what are other people wasting their time with? I need a good distraction.
I'm bad, I know. Also lazy and school is busy. But, just thought I'd show you guys one of the things I've been up to. Sorry the sound is a bit high, so turn down your volume a bit before you play. You've been warned!
