ER part 3

Ok, here it goes. It took over an hour for them to allocate my lodging, at which time a quite gay looking (blonde hair with dark roots, one earring, effeminate speech) man nurse helped me in a wheelchair and off we went. Upon arrival I got a new IV bag and the same set of questioned of my information I had been asked several times in the ER, with one exception.

Nurse (Kristy): “Do you do any welding?”
Me: “Welding? Like with metal?”
Nurse (Kristy): “Yes.” – there was an explanation that I don’t remember
Me: “No, I do not weld.”

From this point on I was check periodically if I needed anything and for a status of my blood pressure. And I have to point out that there was a drastic increase in the eye pleasingness of the nurses. I would have let the 3 different nurses do anything they had to do to me because they were purty. Kristy, Lora and Sandra were their names. Not like super porno star hot, but they were very nice to look atand fun to talk to. And yes the images did go through my mind of the pornos I have seen, especially when Lora said she would be in at midnight to check my IV (hint hint nudge nudge know what I mean know what I mean say no more say no more).

Since I did not have Cartoon Network, I could not watch Adult Swim and decided to call it a night early. I got woken up at about 6am to check my blood pressure, again at 7am for blood to be vacuum sucked out of my arm, and then a doctor came in to talk to me. At this point I abandoned trying to sleep anymore. The doctor said that I would be getting food to see how that goes to see how to proceed. My parents came in around 9am. A little while later the doctor came back and decided that they were going to give me an ultrasound, this meant no food for me and the fast continued.

To be concluded….

ER part 2

We arrived at the ER at 6am and I was put in a room soon there after. The pain was still pretty bad and I was asked to rate it on a scale of 1 to 10. 10 being the worst pain you have ever had. I would say this was a 7 to 8. This was the first time but certainly not the last time I was asked this. I lost track of names of people because there were so many nurses and doctors coming through to see how I was, and they each asked me the same question about my level of pain. The hours went by and not much was done besides the occasional poking and prodding trying to figure out if it was my gall bladder or my appendix. They drew my blood which was done with an IV in my right arm and told me it would take an hour. This taught me one thing; time is not very accurate in a hospital. Everything they tell you that there are doing will take an hour, but that could possibly mean 2hrs+. They decided to give me a CAT scan, which mean I had to drink this stuff for them to see my internal junk. The amount of fluid was ridiculous, and flavored with Kool-Aid. I had an hour to drink over a 1000mL of this stuff and I am not drinking Kool-Aid again anytime soon. At this time they decided it would be a good idea to hook an IV up to my left arm now. The same nurse did this one too. He pushed this huge needle in my arm and then separated a large portion from it through it on the floor. Then trying to hook up the hose to the remaining needle he must have bumped something because blood started to come out of the hole. The blood was running down my arm onto the sheets and on the floor. He quickly cleaned this up and went to pull the IV stand closer. While pulling on it, it tipped toward me, but he caught it before it could fall on me. I think he needs some more practice or something. Hours pass and I get my scan, more time passed and they concluded that my appendix looks fine but my gall bladder was inflamed. They decided that they were going to let things “cool down” before they decide how to proceed. In words they were not saying, this meant that I was going to be admitted to the hospital overnight.

To be continued some more….

Impending Doom

So last Wednesday was going like any other, eating, napping, playing on my computer, even a migraine decided to make an appearance. I took the best medicine ever invented for such a condition, Excedrin. My headache went away, but then I noticed that I had what I thought at the time was indigestion. So I stayed up for a while thinking that it would pass and then I would go to bed. The pain only got worse. At about 130am I figured I should go to sleep and it would be better by morning. Yeah so that did not happen. By this point the pain was consuming my right abdominal area and the same side of my back. No matter what position I laid in there was no relief. I tossed for hours not getting any sleep. By 530am it was too much, I submitted to it and asked my mom for painkillers. As you all know I only take them for headaches, so this alerted me mom to the fact that something might be wrong. I took some Advil and laid down again. About 10 minutes later my mom checked on me and decided that medical attention should be sought. So my parents and I crawled in the car, in the dark, in the wintry cold that is early morning. And off we were to the emergency room at the Hershey Medical Center.

Long time, Long Hair

So it's been about a year since my last haircut. When I think about it does not seem that long, which means that it was a scarring experince. Time after time any sense of expression was hacked away leaving me a miserable person. This lead to the unfornuate experience of heavy drinking followed by accidental self inflicted ball tapping. Anyway, I like my hair long, makes me head look not as big and I don't look as geeky/dorky/stupid as I used to.

Moon at Sunset

A little photoshop goes a long way.

This is my stapler

Staplers

Stupid lookin watch

Furry Fists of Fury

Wire work

So I'm making a stapler out of wire. This is (1) to pay tribute to Office Space,yes it is a Swingline but unfortunately not red, and (2) my attempt to pick something no one else will. This is after trying to make a respirator mask I had left over from my days at the fertilizer plant and coming up short on wire. Besides it looked too much like a basket. That was followed by my watch, which I finished but it looked too flat and reminded me of an 80s Swatch watch wall clock. My idea of a match book fell to the same fate of being too planar. I wanted to make an alarm clock, the round kind with the hands and a face but all of the ones a found were the squat boxes, that look like a fat person sat on them, with the digital displays. Stupid evolution of electronics. Hence my attempt to go old school. The stapler. Elegant and complex while being simple and sophisticated.

I have got that stupid wire caught on everything trying to bend it to my will and compose a masterpiece and I really should be wearing glasses cuz I like my eyes the way they are.

Snow

So it finally snowed, whoopity do. It seems that no matter how old you are, when it snows everyone becomes a kid again. So easily distracted by the mention that the white stuff is a fallin. Add to that the chance of getting to actually see it come down and well then you have ADD running rampant. I too have fallen prey to this wintery performance like when I seemed to always get stuck waiting a Disney movie. You can't look away for more than five minutes, even though you know how it will end you still have to watch just to make sure you were right. Oh and this is not even good snow. This is that unpackable shite that is no fun to play in at all, not that I really have anyone to play in the snow with besides my niece, but it is the point of the matter. The only good thing about this type of frozen condensation is that fact that is it light and it is not back breaking work to shovel a driveway. The divulgence of crystalized water turned my usual 20 minute drive into and hour coming back. I would hate to be someone that has to go further and have no choice but to use a major roadway.

I also don't think it would go over well is any of the following words would just happen to appear in the front yard in oh let's say 10ft letters. "PENIS","VAGINA","MUNG","POOP" or "CORNHOLE"

Movie Review: Cabin Fever

This movie does not need demons, zombies or homicidal killers as it’s way of thinning out the cast of protagonists. Instead it uses a much realer threat, a flesh eating virus. It is very reminiscent of the Evil Dead. Five teenagers go into a cabin in the woods for to have a good time full of sex and drinking. As time goes on each person is eliminated by the unstoppable evil force that feeds on their hormone fueled bodies. It does get quite graphic at times, which the director claims is completely accurate. Rider Strong becomes the stand out character in the film. He fights off the plagued carrier with fire, makes it with a girl, kills a hillbilly and loses his marbles all in the course of 2 days. Also in the movie there are the dumb people that would rather cover up the problem than try to fix it. Like cutting out an infection rather than trying to cure it. This always comes back to bite them in the ass and this rings true in this film as well. I think this movie is worth seeing, in the company of other probably would have made it better, like most movies.

Boredom

As you can tell I am bored. That is quite evident when you look at the last post. Hopefully my classes will pick up a bit so that I actually have something to occupy my time and talk about.

In other news, today I put on this undershirt because I was cold and it was a tad small. Then I looked in the mirror and realized I do not have the body for tight shirts. It made me look like I had boobs. Small full round ones. I say this and leave it to your imagination because I will not be photographed like this.




I am still wearing the shirt cuz I am cold. :/

Re-Penetrator

So I can across this video that is the equivalent to the porno version of the movie the Re-Animator. The 20 minute video was called the Re-Penetrator. Basically it is about a scientist who brings a girl back to life using the liquid from a glow stick. Instead of wanting the usual thing, BRAINS, she craves sex, and he is more than willing to give it to her. This is both amusing and disturbing at the same time. There is lots of fake blood and indulgence in necrophilia, unfortunately mung was not used that I could tell. Not as well done as Bella loves Jenna, which is like House of 1000 Corpses with porn in it, but what can you expect from a project with not almost no money and no serious plot.

Origami Satyr

This is one of the coolest origami creatures I have ever seen.

If only I could decipher how to do the bloody folds to make it. This unfolded version is shite. There were no instructions with the thing so it will remain a mystery.

My Bad

So it seems that I forgot to give my blog the ability for anyone to leave comments. My mistake. That had been rectified. haha "rectified"

Monkey with a tool

Drawing I So tonight went ok. Nothing much to mention about this one, I’ve done it all before. This time it will just be spread over a longer period of time. Rather than be bored, I drew on my syllabus rather than listen to the professor go over it. The professor is a red head who seemed to be a hanger for her clothes. She is so skinny and pale. Nothing worth noting about the others there except that there were more older people than younger ones. But I did find out that I will get to sketch more naked people.

3D thumpin, Photoshop bumpin

Fundamentals of 3D Design
This class should be kind of interesting, it sounds like there is a lot of hands on stuff, which is what I have been looking for. There will be some kind of wire head, a wire body, a clay head, and broken chair projects. None of them seem that difficult, but we’ll see how creative I can get. The professor claimed that most people think mostly in 2 dimensions and that only a few people think in 3. I think I fall into the latter of those 2 groups. I’ll show him. He has a student assistant who did not say much and looked like he was zoned out for the whole thing. There are also students that resemble some famous people. All these people need work to pull it off but they are all a step in the right direction. There is a Seth Green (Greg the Bunny, Austin Powers, Airborne), a Claire Danes(Romeo & Juliet, My So Called Life), a Christy Hemme(WWE RAW Diva), and a portly black fellow who talks like the guy who sings the Burger King Song. Yeah you know the one. So this might get interesting.

Photoshop CS
This class could either be boring or interesting; I think that will depend on me. My professor is from somewhere not here. Like when the Germans say a “V” instead if a “W”, this lady managed to say them both together. She also drops verbs out of her sentences. She kind of talked like Dracula so maybe she is Romanian. Besides that I have to use a MAC when I am in the lab at school, but that is made up by the fact that I get to use a digital pen and tablet to do art with. There are 5 major projects there, no biggie. A critique after each, again I scoff. The only people worth mentioning is the older lady with I believe an English accent that sat next me and another girl who looked kind of young. She had red hair and blue eyes and was wearing a green hoodie. I think she caught me looking at her and was freaked out or something because when class was over she was gone like a poof of smoke.

I still have one more to go so we will see if that is any better that I think it will be. As of now, no one knows that this is not my first time in this situation and it will remain that way until I think it necessary to say otherwise.

X-mas Paintings

Since both people I gave paintings to this x-mas forgot to post pictures of them in their own blog, I shall post them in my own. These are the first paintings that I have made in about 6 years and the first pieces of art I have made for other people. I intend on doing this again for somebody someday. My mom has asked me when she is getting hers. I have no reply to that because well I am not going to assign a time table to that. Besides it is hard for it to be a surprise when someone is constantly seeing what you are doing.

Superman meets the Thundercats

Ok so I was looking up old cartoons I used to watch and came across some of the new Thundercats comics that have come out over the past couple years. Then I saw something that I could not believe, the Thundercats meeting Superman. I don't know whether this is a versus or a team-up but either way was it really unnecessary. Unless of course by some strange course of events Mumm-Ra and Lex Luthor became business partners, this story seems a little far fetched. Listen to me, Superman, man that had super powers, and the Thundercats, frelling cat people. I make it sound like both of them are believable by themselves, but put them together and all hell breaks loose. I don't even think the Chewbacca Defense can save this one.

What if other characters are put together that really have no reason to meet? Like the Snorks meeting Batman, maybe SpongeBob but not Batman. Or Carebears meeting the X-men, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles meeting the Simpsons or even Spiderman meeting the Smurfs. I may not have the formula quite right, but I think I made my point.

British Comedies

After watching Shaun of the Dead, I looked up some of the actors from the film. This lead to the discovery that a lot of the actors had worked together on a British comedy called Spaced. I have never heard of this show, but I liked the movie so I figured I would give it a whirl. After watching the first episode I was hooked. Since then I have obtained half of the 14 episode run. Then I got to thinking. Over the years I have viewed many British comedies on various channels such as PBS and Comedy Central. Some I liked some I can not stand. The following is a list of the ones I can remember watching in to particular order.

Likes:
Red Dwarf
Mr. Bean
The Young Ones
‘Allo ‘Allo
Spaced
Black Books
Monty Python’s Flying Circus
Black Adder I,II,III and IV

Dislikes:
Are You Being Served?
Absolutely Fabulous (Ab Fab)
Fawlty Towers
The Thin Blue Line
Keeping Up Appearances
Chef
The League of Gentlemen


There is also Benny Hill, which I remember watching but was too young to fully grasp what I was seeing let alone categorize it as good or bad.

They may not be liked by everyone, but I think it is an acquired tasted like any foreign tv/movies seem to be.

Movie Review: Shaun of the Dead

Bollocks! Rising up through the seemingly endless supply of zombie movies comes this one. Shaun of the Dead is an interesting movie to say the least. One of the features that sets this movie apart from all the others is that it is a ROM ZOM COM. This means that not only are their zombies, but there is also comedy and romance. The movie begins with the underachiever Shaun seeing things that seem a little odd but lacking the motivation to investigate, he quickly dismisses them. Not until he and his flatmate, Ed, come across a girl they believe to be drunk to they realize what is going on around them. Then with total disregard for the instructions issued by tv anchors and a few revisions to their plan, they set out on a half cocked mission. They plan to get Shaun’s mum, his ex-girlfriend and then find shelter from the zombies. Along the way, they get trapped in a car with a zombie, pretend to be zombies themselves and even end up hitting a zombie in a bar to the beat of a song by Queen. This movie was quite amusing. Full of reference to zombie movies of the past, it is a must see for any fan of the walking dead film genre.

Kiddie Pirates

Pirates in training for lack of anything better.

GIR droppin it like it HOT

2 Fortunes, 1 Cookie

I'm not sure how the whole fortune getting in the cookie thing works but today I got something a little special. I got two fortunes in one cookie, and i don't mean that one was that retarded under developed twin of a fortune. No, this cookie womb gave birth to two faternal paths of destiny. I'm sure this means that some obviously unfortunate soul had cracked open his after dinner treat in hope of some guidance and got stiffed, like some cruel joke played by the universe.
The fortunes are as follows:
"Life to you is a dashing and bold adventure."
"Goods news will be brought to you by mail."

And the only lucky number that they had in common was 5.

Movie Review : Envy

Seeing as how this is a movie featuring Ben Stiller and Jack Black, I expected something worth watching. I even gave it a chance after seeing it on someone's top 10 worst movies of 2004. But sadly it fell short of my expectation. Basically it is about 2 average guys with their average families, that work at the same plant making sandpaper. Jack's character comes up with the idea to make a spray to make dog shit dissappear. blah blah blah. An hour and a half later, 2 questions come to mind. 1) Does Christopher Walkens always play the wonky oddball? and 2) Did I really just watch an hour and half movie about dog shit? I don't really have much else to say about this movie. I'm not even going to give this a score or a rating cuz I don't want to waste my time weighing it on some imaginary scale.
