My brother is having complications, called he's developed an abscess where his appendix was and they're gonna have to do another surgery. He's currently at the ER with my dad having the CAT scan done to make sure, but they think that's what it is, and if that is what it is, he's going to be in the hospital for probably another two weeks.

So my mom just called me up and told me to get to Cleveland. Not sure HOW I'm getting there yet, and I'm most likely not leaving until tomorrow.

I find it beyond fucking odd that Windi King is arriving via bus to Madison TODAY because her mom is in the UW hospital downtown having complications from a transplant, and I'm most likely about to bus out to Cleveland to visit my brother having complications from appendicitis.

Don't you love it when real life happens? /sarcastic voice

I just got back from my garden plot, tilled another row, mostly of dandelions and rocks, and I need a shower. Then a beer. Or a spiked Coke, whichever.


UPDATE It's apparently not nearly as bad as they'd thought, he had the surgery, he's most likely going to go home tomorrow to finish recovering...so I've been told not to rush out. O_o So......okay then. Still waiting for more phone calls.

I'm home. I need a shower so very badly.


Also I am craving sushi something fierce.


I'd also like to go to bed (OH MY GOD A REAL BED IN A FUCKING TEMPERATE CLIMATE IT WAS SO FUCKING COLD AT NIGHT), but Jason's washing all the bedding-which...is a good idea, I just want to go to bed NOW.


People ended up naked in the river, people ended up naked running around the cabin, people passed out and woke up drunk, Matt did not jump off the roof, and I took a ton of photos(none of naked people, and really, that's a good thing). I think it was the most fun I've ever had at a Smelt Fry. Except for the attempting to sleep part. It got REALLY FUCKING COLD at night, and things that are useful to me and Jason once or twice a year, like our cold-weather sleeping bags(it's probably worth pointing out that this was the warmest Smelt Fry I've ever been to by FAR, but we had our sleeping bags at the others), are still in Ohio. We took every blanket in this apartment, and it was not enough, we fucking froze our asses off. I kept waking up I was so cold.


But...to the shower!

My brother is in the ER, and is about to be admitted to the hospital. They don't know what's wrong, but it involves being really sick and puking up blood.

I was already drinking Diet Coke, I just dumped in a bunch of rum. Any more bad news and I'm looking up bus ticket prices to Cleveland. Actually...I'm doing that anyways($40, 8-hour trip? NOT BAD). I've met my brother, he has royal bad luck.


I did have the bad grace to point out to my mom that of the four of us, I'm the only one who has never been admitted to the hospital. Which means I'll be getting hit by a bus any day now. I just come and do the humorous distraction. With card games and YouTube videos. I've got hospital visiting down to a damn science.

Of all the fucking times to not be in Ohio and 700 fucking miles away. >:(


ETA: Mom just called with an update, he's got appendicitis.

ETA Again: Dad just called. His opening sentence was that Kevin's in ICU. >_< Good going there, but he's likely there because the recovery room isn't staffed. He had his appendix removed at 7:00pm EST. Most those types of surgery are done during the day. He's out of surgery and recovering, soon as he wakes up and is alive, mom and Alicia are gonna head home. Dad's restraining himself from the Johnny Walker at the moment in case Alicia's car takes a dump. This is how dad and I were when my mom was hospitalized. He and I are way too similar.

ETA 4/12: He was a cranky irritable bastard from hell today. So since my immediate family knows him, we figure he's doing okay and so far, he's all right to go home tomorrow. I told his best friend from HS to call him on Wednesday or Thursday. I actually haven't talked to him at all yet. He was too out of it on Sunday, and I was pretty much warned off even attempting it today.

Or wake up the rest of the way. >_<

Fandom Steel Cage Match...it's down to the final two. And I don't know how to link the pictures back to the website, so just click the nice link and vote for Buffy.

Sheldon Cooper vs. Buffy Summers. (and considering my friends and the shows they watch, I should have posted something for the Final Four, like, vote Buffy, because while she had bad taste in men, at least she never dated Piz or Duncan. Also, while her show did fail hard at the end, nothing can match season 3 of Veronica Mars for sheer amount of fail. )

But come on, you know you want to vote Buffy. Why?
-Who cares how smart Sheldon is, she'd still kick his ass, and she's already got Willow and Giles to be the brains-both WAY nicer and better looking than Sheldon.
-I have Buffy in the pool as winning this whole thing. Come on, help a girl out here! (I did better on this than I have ever done with a March Madness bracket, which possibly tells you all too much about me.)
-The Sheldon fans are cheating WAY more than the Buffy fans(as of this post), because they know Buffy is going to SLAY HIM. :p
-You were obsessed with Buffy and her show before Sheldon Cooper existed.
-If you ran into either one, Buffy might say a few strange things, but she'd at least be nice to you, while Sheldon would be a condescending ass. Then Buffy would stand up for you against the snarky bully, because she's that nice...at least in the first few seasons.
-Sheldon, being a sci-fi and comic book nerd, would totally vote for Buffy.



All joking aside, I do like Sheldon and The Big Bang Theory a lot, but Team Buffy all the way.

Wait. It's an LJ series of tubespolls. Why be serious about this at all? =D


And I have a serious hankering for some Buffy. Also...I lost disk 2 of season 4. FUCK.

OH LORD.

Facebook group...( you know you are from South Lyon if... )

Okay, now...I have very few friends from South Lyon reading this, but it amused me so damn much. Which is probably a minor miracle, considering I really don't like the town and didn't particularly enjoy growing up there. Can't deny that I know it inside and out though.

I think I intended to do laundry today. Yeah. Fuck it.

Okay now, be honest-who here knows what I'm talking about and is celebrating with the real thing? Who here knows what I'm talking about and is likely going to be celebrating with mislabeled donuts at a store that means well but doesn't know anything? (I'm in category #2, since I really don't feel like a trip to Milwaukee or Chicago for paczki) And finally...who has no clue what I'm talking about and thinks I just invented a holiday for junk food? ^_~

Amazon.com is having a massive sale on TV shows right now, 45-67% off for a lot of shows. So if you've got cash and a DVD deficiency at the moment, have fun!

Jason got his second FOAD because we made the ill-fated decision to check our mail after buying the good ramen across the street.

We're drinking. Heavily.

Also watching just about every episode of Big Bang Theory. Not often I come across a show Jason and I both love. Yes Josh, sorry. :p

I have the best fiance in the world.

He baked me a cake. Why? Because I've been so sick and cranky lately.

And it's a really good cake with some heavy chocolate frosting. I'm of the school of thought that cake is really a delivery system for frosting.



So I have cake to eat during this lovely blizzard weather we're getting. >_< Doesn't matter where I am, January and February are those months you just have to get through.

Oh my god I need to go to bed. Why this is cracking me up so badly, I have no idea. I am beyond wound up and can't really sleep at all.
