Read this comment in contextHey nice list, I’m #52, had no idea that people liked working here, I don’t remember them asking me about it…. Actually it is nice somtimes, like right now, when I should be helping somebody who keeps reminding me that his intestinal tract has issues with dairy food and through some horrible mistake someone placed string cheese on his meal tray, [ah-hem] his free*** meal tray, and really wants some crackers instead. I love how people freak out here over something miniscule [cough cheese sticks cough] and they feel the need to tell me how the planets have become disaligned (bill is that a real word?). Oh well, my job is to re-align the planets and give this guy a packet of saltines. woo-hoo!

Read this comment in contextWhat chores, functions, and daily activities would your monkey participate in, so as to feel a worthy, self-assured member of the family?
-he’d have a miniature broom/dustpan at his side at all times. I would teach it knife fighting as well so Kevin’s little monkey would have a friend. My monkey would be able to place bets for me at the races and count cards for me at the poker tables. He’d have a miniature shopping cart to go to Kroger’s with me, like the soccer moms who teach their daughters how to shop like mommy.Describe your monkey’s wardrobe.
-A pair of black spectacles/jewish nose combination, fake vampire teeth, and maybe a Marilyn Monroe wigGive at least three excellent monkey names that you might consider.
-Hillary
-Rumpelstiltskin
-Googlie EyesAre you sexually attracted to monkeys? If you answered yes, would you at least be able to keep it under control, you freak?
-what is the origin of this question?Describe lyrically your love for monkeys.
-Oh monkey, how i love thee
So much so I describe it lyrically.

Read this comment in contextI’m impressed. The photos are pretty neat, especially the ones inside the ruined buildings. Some of the costumes were fairly recognizable to the video game. This does remind me of a renaissance-festival crowd in some ways, with the games and charatcers and what not. I’m not sure how you found that blog, Bill, but it was certainly entertaining. I hope that ghoul in one of the pitcures in the “pre-war business suit” was a nice one like Gob.

Read this comment in contextMLG, a.k.a. Major League Gaming, brought it’s 2009 Procircuit Competition to Columbus this weekend Fri-Sun. Sadly enough I was there all three days at various times. I met up with some of the people I play with on XBOX Live, whom I’ve never met before in real life so it was kind of surreal to see people I’ve only heard cuss and swear with me in a headset. It wasn’t as interactive for those who weren’t in the competition, which disappointed me. But there were some highlights to this weekend.
1. I got to meet some of the punk 12 yr olds who trashtalk during gameplay and they were quite polite with their parents in tow, oddly enough.
2. When I searched the website’s photo page I found one entitled “girl gamers at columbus 2009″, got a litte excited then extremely disappointed to find the majority of them were of the bimbo models who were handing out free Tinactin bags or Dr. Pepper.
3. I finally hung out with some girls this weekend who adamantly refused to go to the bathroom without another girl present. It was slightly funny. One girl said she had to use the restroom, I had to go too but deliberately said I didn’t just to see if she would go on her own. she waited about 20 min then another girl and her walked off arm in arm. don’t you guys love us?
4. I got to walk over to the North Market twice and explore the diverse foods there.
5. There was a haunted convention going on one hall down from ours and there were monsters walking around on saturday.
6. Picture of the back of my head here: http://www.mlgpro.com/photogallery/view/254/2009-Columbus/Chillin-at-the-Booths?p=15
7. Played Halo3 against 7 other randoms and got two kills (the controlled I used was inverted and I couldn’t figure out how to set it back to default. I was staring at the floor and cieling the whole time throwing random grenades hence two kills)
8. Got to play a Halo3 match using brand new Astro headphones with surround sound (got 7 kills that time).
9. I’ve never seen so many XBOX 360’s, controllers and LCD screens in my life. It was pretty awesome.All in all it was something I’ll never forget, nor will I probably ever get to experience again, unless MLG decides to incorporate Call Of Duty 4 into it someday. One can only dream….

Read this comment in contextI could log into my Xbox Live account on my computer here just now, so it must have been overloaded with people trying to access the Marketplace for downloading the new COD WaW maps.
Also, is anyone here addicted to Fallout 3 besides me?

Read this comment in contextOh man. I think this wedding is borderline childish. My favorite part is the idea of the sticky grenades as gifts.

Read this comment in contextCall of Duty World At War (or Call of Duty 5) has been a very entertaining game, much more so than I had anticipated. It is very similar to Call of Duty 4, and most veterans of COD4 have made an easy transition to the new game. It has similar multiplayer modes online and the campaign is also a lot of fun. The maps seem complicated, which is awesome. The guns are becoming more managable with time. I would recommend this game to anyone who is not offended with usage of the F word on occasion from a man getting his legs blown off.

Read this comment in contextI have to put a plug in here for Call Of Duty 4 for XBOX 360. I beat the game today and it was so much fun. It’s a tactical combat game, but you’re not just infantry, you somehow are also an experienced sniper/helicopter turret gunman/asassin. I was very impressed. There’s a little extra something special after the credits as well so don’t skip through those.
On a side note:
I am in love with Halo 3. Totally infatuated, head over heels. People, what are you waiting for? Start playing it!

Read this comment in contextI woke up in the middle of the night with my bed sliding to the other side of the room and me falling onto hardwood floor. No clue how this happened or what I was dreaming. I sorta thought that I was dreaming that it happened but I have an abrasion to my right knee and left elbow that weren’t there when I went to bed.

Read this comment in contextLast night I had a dream where a man told me I was “as sexy as a teathered lion on a red flag”. I’m trying to figure out what this even means. This person was intoxicated in my dream, whereas in reality he was one of my high school teachers.

Read this comment in contextLast night I had a messed up dream, but it was still kinda cool.
I dreamt that I was going to be getting married. I had the white dress on, but my white shoes were lost. I tried someone else’s on but they were too small. I started crying, so my mom and a friend ran off to do some last minute shopping for me. While they were away, some spartans appeared and we had a wicked fight. Somehow we had the fight outside, there were grey clouds but grass everywhere (really strange that I remember this so vividly). After the fight, and of course I won, the girls came back with shoes. But my dress was all torn and there was blood on it so I didn’t have the wedding. Where the groom and guests were at, I have no idea. I woke up to my alarm and had to look around my room to see where I was (one of those dreams).
Lesson of the day: Don’t stay up till 2am playing Halo 3

Read this comment in contextThe Zombies have a song called “A Butcher’s Tale” which I did not like at first because of it’s anti-war theme, but now I love it. It is a very emotional song sung by a traumatized soldier from WW1 era. There is a line there I did not understand until I looked it up online:
And I have seen a friend of mine
Hang on the wire
Like some rag toy
Then in the heat the flies come down
And cover up the boy
And the flies come down in
Gommecourt, Thiepval,
Mametz Wood, and French Verdun
If the preacher he could see those flies
Wouldn’t preach for the sound of gunsThe Gommecourt, Thiepval, Mametz Wood, and French Verdun were all battle sites in France during the Somme battle, in what was known as “The Meat Grinder” because of all of the casulaties. The Germans were pounding on the French and when the British came to aid them it led to Britian’s second highest casualty loss in a single day: 57,000 men. This was second only to the surrender of Singapore in 1942. I found this extremely interesting and wanted to share.

Read this comment in contextA patient and his wife made me laugh today. A patient came in to be seen for shortness of breath, or so we though. The patient’s wife was talking for the patient and answering our questions. The story snowballed from each encounter his wife had with the ER staff into thus: he’s been confused for “months”. Anyways, the doctor wanted to assess the patient’s neurological status and asked him his favorite question “Hey, you know that Mickey Mouse fellow? Was he a cat or a dog?”
The patient said “Um, I think he was a cat”. The doctor replied “that Mickey MOUSE was a cat?”
The patient’s wife then said “Oh hunny, you know that old Mickey Mouse was a dog!”. And that old lady was serious.

Read this comment in contextI had lunch today with a work friend so we could each vent about the recent goings on in the ER. She told me of a very manipulative patient she recently had who was very difficult, this lady would not let her test her blood sugar unless she removed her pulse ox, or she would not let her take her blood pressure unless she got her a pillow. After having to deal with this patient all day, at one point she said she found herself turning away from the patient and thinking about what kind of immediate consequences she could have if she were to punch the lady in the face. She said “jail came to mind first”. I laughed so hard and came up with this insight:
“You know you’re an ER nurse when the thought of going to jail is the only thing that stops you from giving a patient a piece of your mind”.
I may stitch this into a pillow or something.

Read this comment in contextThree funny things happened to me at work today.
First was an elderly male patient. I introduced myself, and he said “Have I seen you before?”. I told him that was certainly possible then asked him “have you ever been here before?”. To which he replied “Yeah, but I don’t recall seeing a beautiful face like yours….” I blushed. Then I later overheard his doctor talking about how the patient had a “bad case of dementia” and was “crazy”…Second thing that happened was a patient who came in for an altered level of consciousness induced from cocaine and narcotic abuse. He asked if he could eat something. Now mind you, when he first got to the ER he was breathing slow and we had to give him Narcan (reverses narcotics). I told him he could not eat. He kept taking off a part of his monitor equipment and it beeped everytime. One time I went in and this conversation enfolded:
“You hear that beeping? It’s because you keep taking off the equipment”.
“Yeah I know it.”
“Why do you keep doing it then”
“Because I’m hungry”
“So your stomach feels full everytime you take that thing off?”
“No, I do it because I know it pisses you off and you have to come in here everytime it beeps”.
“I told you twice already that you can’t eat yet”
“Then I’m gonna keep taking this thing off”
“Look, I’m gonna give you food when the doctor says you can eat, not when you say you can eat.”
…
“You taking that thing off your finger isn’t going to get you food.”
…
I left the room. Shortly after a nurse’s aid informed me that he was “still hungry”.The third thing that happened was that the first thing I heard from one of my other patients upon her arrival was “I’m gonna puke”. I turn around and one of the nurses aids had vomit from her neck down to her shoes…. then the patient said “Oh man, I feel so much better.”
