Of kidney stones and red rings of death
Hi, all. I'm at work, so obviously that means it's time to goof off on the internet and post to my severely ignored blog. I miss you all - some more than others, but everyone at least a little.
In case you aren't on Facebook, I'll briefly share that I'm living in Heath, OH and working in Newark, OH as an academic advisor at OSU-Newark. It's so much better than residence life at Muskingum. Evenings and weekends to myself, no duty, my own apartment that isn't located in a residence hall. Plus more money and I'm literally 2 minutes from the mall, restaurants, stores like Best Buy and Wal-Mart, a bowling alley, and 2 Gamestops. Yay!
A couple of crappy things have happened recently. Friday before last I woke up with a horrible pain in the right side of my lower back. One thing led to another and I ended up in the hospital for 2 and a half days with a kidney stone. I got it taken out, but the pain isn't going away completely yet. Luckily they gave me lots of Vicodin!
Also, a few days ago I was playing my brand new Xbox 360 (for approximately the sixth time in the 3 weeks I owned it). All of a sudden, it went off. I looked down and there it was...the flashing red ring of death! Word to the wise - don't plug your 360 into a surge protector. Now I have to wait 3-4 weeks for Microsoft to replace it. Sadness. In the meantime I'm playing Okami and Xenosaga on my PS2 and Star Wars: KOTOR for original Xbox.
Love and hugs to all,
