Smile: Got an order of vinyl records in from the UK. Always a good day when that happens.

Ticked: UPS guy didn't even knock or ring my buzzer, just dropped a $150 international package at my door (with a note saying he didn't leave it and that a signature was required). Dafuq.

Consoles: I have too much stuff
Arcade: No seriously, I have too much stuff. Someone grab a shovel and dig me out of my basement.

I had the most crippling ocular migraine I have ever had today. 4 hours of vomitting, headache, and discomfort and 30 minutes of visual obscurity in my left eye. It was awful.

I feel better now though. Put a few greasy burgers in me and bought the new Zelda. :mrgreen:

Have you been checked for cysts?

Awesome. Don't forget to take your favorite pillow along for nap attacks.

See if you feel like your symptoms match. If so, get checked out asap.


edit* My Grandmother, who is in her mid-90's just got a dog. It's a good thing that she has a companion, but I still think it's a bad, bad, bad idea. Tiny dog, lots of energy. Chicago might as well be frozen right now, and my Grandmother has a flight of stairs to go down each time the dog needs to go out. A few worries:

What if the dog needs to go to the vet?
My Aunt and Uncle live a two hour drive away, in the event of an emergency, the pooch is screwed.
Dogs need exercise. Besides running around the house, this dog will get zero.
The dog is a tripping hazard.
If this dog is put on a leash, it could drag my Grandmother down the stairs.
My Grandmother's sense aren't so keen at her age. I'm sure some of the dogs "mistakes" will be missed.


Of course I want my Grandma to be happy, but I want the dog to be happy, and live in a safe environment as well.

Gotcha. Thatll be nice. I think I had yours & Hobbie's area of employment mixed up. IIRC, he works over by my house.

I'll be commuting in to near 610 & 290. Luckily most of the drive is 249 & SH Tollway. The drive can be 30 minutes or an hour depending on traffic lol. Luckily I'm an early bird so I'll beat the rat race in the morning.
Nah, I used to be over there. Then I moved projects about 8 months ago that brought me back to the Galleria area. Hobie works from home.
Ahhh got it. Knew it was one of yall :) Crazy how spread out Houston is.

Cuteness Overload.

And my home theater got a small upgrade:

Image

Going to make the cords invisible, but besides speakers mounted inside the walls, I'm pretty much done. The screen has this sweet little button mounted on the wall, so the presentation of dropping the screen is almost comical.

I like it though. Ill still make improvements every year, but it really feels like a home theater now.
