Whoa, it's been over a month since I last posted here. Time for an update:
My aunt survived her ordeal and is on her way back to her full ass-kicking capacity. After spending nearly a month in the ICU, she eventually got well enough to be taken home. She now stays with my grandmother (who thankfully lives next door) as essentially stuck into a giant easychair for most of the day. She can't exert much energy yet, however; she gets tired out with about an hour of physical activity. Her pneumonia and infections are gone, but the diabetes are still wreaking havoc on her. I have a new appreciation for people that count their calories/carbs/etc; for my aunt, her blood sugar levels make the difference between her recovery and landing right back into the ICU with another coma. I've been spending a lot of my free time helping to nurse her back to health and keeping my grandma's spirits up.
In the meantime, the Spring Quarter has started again. I'm facing graduation soon. If the damned school wasn't so damned bureaucratic, at least. All I needed to take was Senior Seminar and Chaucer, but the latter was dumped due to teacher shortages and a lack of student turnout. Way to go, people. Now I'm going to be stuck doing summer classes. I love school, but I want my degree and move on, dammit.
I've been mellowing out with my Wii, though. Metal Slug Anthology makes for a great (if not kinda morbid) way to vent frustrations. The same cannot be said with Sonic and the Secret Rings; Venter and I see eye to eye on another Wii title, but I sure as hell won't give the new Sonic an 8/10. But hey, I've got an unopened copy of Super Paper Mario on my desk right now. I need a break from cursing at Sega's mascot. >.>
Anyway, I put my Wii Code along with my AIM in my profile if any of you folks feel like bugging me sometime.

honestgamer - April 13, 2007 (08:10 AM) I'm glad to hear that your aunt is doing better! And that your education is going well, even if summer classes wouldn't be your first choice to finish things up soon. It's a shame you don't like Sonic. It's a great game! I'll be interested in your review that explains what didn't click for you. |
