Sickness - Redux

It's been over a year since I've gotten violently sick. Now I find myself in the various condition of being in a sate of sickness and pain that - while it's nowhere close to what I had to endure last year - is just uncomfortable and is detracting from me being 100%.

Yesterday as I came in to work, I had this very strange headache. There was a constant and dull throbbing in the background that annoyed me to no end (dubstep, anyone?) that would occasionally give way to an intensely sharp pain. "Imagine someone sawed open your head, filled it with razors and shook it as hard as they could." Also, I had these random bouts of pain that would travel all around my body. I had moments of nausea and had to slow myself down in order to cope with everything.

So after getting home, I found myself unable to sleep. I kept tossing and turning, and every time I woke up, I felt a bit disoriented. To be honest, I only woke up about two hours ago. (Keep in mind that I attempted to fall asleep starting around 0030.)

HOWEVER... I think I'm feeling better now. Due to sleeping horribly, I apparently have pain in my left shoulder (yay for sleeping funny), woke up with a nosebleed, and have a very, very, very light, but other than that I think I'm better.

As such, I regret to inform you that the special stuff I said would show up today will have to be pushed back to Monday. I'm still feeling a little out of it, but I'm doing okay.

See ya' later.

Under a Food Coma

The worst part about typing with a food coma is that you don't want to do anything. I'm sitting here, trying my darnedest to focus and type up an entry for today (as well as work on what's supposed to come out tomorrow), and yet... the only thing that sounds ultimately good is taking a nap.

While that sounds like an excellent idea, I'm telling myself to not do that (despite how much I could probably use the rest) and instead write something. This is what resulted:

• nothing
• work on what's coming out Saturday
• more lamentations about my food coma
• like, two burps
• more "Assassin" moderating

As bad as it seems, I think that me going through this food coma now is a good thing - by the time it washes over, I'll be primed for work and ready to kick some tail.

But that's later on in the afternoon. For now, I think I'm going to go ahead and take that catnap. Yes... sweepy-time is good time... *zzz*

Postponed to Saturday

So there's going to be some fun things to see on here soon. However, I have things to do today (yaaaaay, friends!) and as such, I know for a fact that I won't be able to have them up and ready by tonight.

So instead, I'm just here to say before I go that you should expect some stuff up... on Saturday.

Take care, everyone. I'll see y'all later.

Battle Against Boredom

I am here to type a kickass post and chew bubble gum... but you bastards stole all of it and threw it away so you can use that cheesy one-liner!

So instead, I'm going to use a different pick-me-up. *munches*

Gotta Love Days Off

Taking a personal day is always a fun thing. One gets to relax, close their eyes, and rest exactly how they want to rest.

For me and for today, that means lots of the following (in no specific order):

• Tales of the Abyss
• Battlestar Galactica
• Sailor Moon
• 1000 Blank White Cards
• sleep (and how!)

Welp, back to the power-leveling and show-watching!

Work and Games

Between Tales of the Abyss, modding a second round of Assassin, and work, I'm having a field day with lots of things going on.

No decent entry today. That'll be for tomorrow. Until then!

Still In a Dream

Thank you, Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D, for being on the 3DS. I can now have portable awesomeness wherever I go (so long as my battery holds out, at least.

Snake Eater is so amazing that this post is pretty much dedicated to one of my most favorite games of all time. Its awesomeness is so amazing that the only way it could be better is if it were to be combined with another awesome thing. In this case, we're going to combine it with my newfound addiction to My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

I'd say it mixes well. When I saw this, the correlations actually made sense in my mind. Your mileage may vary, though.

Anyway, let's just go to the meat of this entry - the music that helps make this game a very memorable one.





CURRENT MUSIC:
Cynthia Harrell - "Snake Eater"
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater Original Soundtrack

"Snake Eater" is the theme song to the third game in the Metal Gear Solid series. "Snake Eater" is perhaps one of my favorite songs ever. Apart from the fact that it's the only theme song made for the franchise, it claims this title because of the fact that it represented more than just a game and more than just a story.

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater didn't have just the feel of a video game - it had the tone and soul of an interactive spy movie. The obvious themes of tactical espionage action and self-aware fourth-wall breaking humor that the Metal Gear series prided itself on coupled harmoniously with that suave essence commonly used in spy flicks - and because of that, the game has played its way into my personal favorites. "Snake Eater" captured the very soul of the game, and to this day it remains as one of my favorite pieces ever made for a video game. By this, I mean that if this were to start playing, I'd start singing along no matter what, not caring about the looks I'd get or the fact that I'm no mezzo-soprano. (In the event that I can't sing, I'll definitely lip-sync.)

Anyway, enough rambling - I'm looking like a fanboy here, but we don't need any of that. "Snake Eater" resembles the title songs commonly heard in James Bond movies (and spy flicks in general), combining vocals and copious amounts of trumpeting fanfares and sultry strings to create a "spy-esque" theme song. Couple this song with a title sequence that also seems reminiscent of spy movies and you get an amazing set of opening credits that still make me wonder if I'm watching an espionage-based game or playing through a spy movie.

I'll catch y'all tomorrow. I got a lot of work ahead of me, so maybe you'll hear about it then!

Spelunking Into Diurnality

The start of a new month... oh, how it feels interesting. Though it may not be the first, it doesn't mean I can't still call it the beginning. and you know what that means?

I don't know either, but hey: let's find out if anything cool happens in the meantime!

Morning

It's Friday morning, and I'm... *double takes* Wait, wait. "Friday morning?" I'm actually up this early!? The frak is wrong with me?

Nothing, actually. This is what happens when a co-worker convinces me to take their morning shift so they can have a hangover recovery period for their birthday the day before. (My generosity does screw me over from time to time, but hey - a post-birthday hangover recovery period is a nice thing to have.)

*big yawn*

Anyway, might as well get prepped for my day. This is going to be one wild ride...

Sudden Sleep Syndrome?

I find it weird how I'm suddenly sleepy and it's barely 2000ish. It sucks, because I'm a night owl, and that means I stay up all super late.

But suddenly I'm finding myself... *yawn* ...tired. This makes absolutely no sense. I think I'm going to go ahead and succumb to this sleepiness. I'll catch y'all tomorrow
