Dad's surgery went well.  They took a 1/3 of his lung out.  He was just brought to the room and he's sleeping.  I. Hessibg there soon.

That's good news Joe (all things considered).

Give him a Hessibg for all of us.

Seconded.

I hope things only improve King.
Welp, I haven't yet been added to the company distribution list, so I never received the memo about dressing up for a client today...I am the ONLY one not dressed up. FUCK.

Boss doesn't care, isn't worried and told me all is cool, but I still feel crazy awkward and wrong.

It took me forever to get added to all the distribution lists at my current job, about three months actually :lol

Joe, good to hear it went well, hope all continues on the up and up.

I didn't realize he was having a segmentectomy. My father had one of those a couple of years ago. They removed half of his lung. His breathing has never been the same since.

I love red heads.
I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

Morning chumps.

Well a good friend who I just saw a few months ago had his mom pass away from cancer. I saw her in April driving to my dad's and she told me about the cancer.  I'm going Monday to the wake.

Reaper, I ordered my graphics card today. The site I was originally going to buy it from listed it as in stock today, so I jumped on it right away, so they better not be fucking with me!
Now I just have to wait until some time next week to get it (hopefully).

I'll be able to make my games (like the Donkey Kong one) look a lot better and run smoother. My current card can't handle shit. Also I might be able to use it to render videos faster, which would be great. And it's a lot better for playing games, although that's not a high priority for me. This new card is literally 15x better in every regard, so it's going to be a huge upgrade for anything that involves 3D.

I've been listening to Mr. Big a lot lately.  Can't say I like a lot of their newer stuff quite as much.  The first two albums were unbelievable.  The third was mostly pretty good.  After that, they really started losing me.  There were only a couple songs on Hey Man that I care for.  After that, the only thing I really care for is What If, and even then, not quite so much.  On a similar note, I can say for Racer X that there's really only one album that I don't care for and that's Getting Heavier.  Technical Difficulties is an absolute crusher of an album.

Mostly the first album today, plus Rosanna, because I saw a Youtube video of some guy playing it with Toto in soundcheck and in got me in a Toto mood.

Never been a fan of Mr Big, despite those early albums being in the right era.

Mr. Big was right there in my face at the time I was learning guitar.  My brother had gotten the first Mr. Big album and was listening to it a lot.  He had a bass and he and his friend were always playing around on guitar and such.  So I had the drums and started trying to figure out how to play the bass.  It was a rocky start, because all I had to try to work on was the bass tab for Metallica's MOP album.  THAT was ambitious.  That was also like 27 years ago.  Jesus.  So he had the first album and I was mesmerized by the fact that a bass player was doing things like this, that nobody does.  I got the bass tab for that album as well and realized there were SOME things about it that I was capable of.  It was fun playing around with it.  So MOP and Mr. Big were the two big albums that kick-started my whole desire to play guitar, so they'll always be special.

For some reason yesterday afternoon on my way home I decided I wanted to listen to Master of Puppets for the first time in a while. I've since spun Justice and am now listening to Far Beyond Driven. Huzzah for metal flashbacks.

A running joke was that I told the world that I would never see Motorhead to piss off a few of my buds.  No reason, I was just being a dink.  Well, my friend got tickets to see Alice Cooper on the Raise Your Fist And Yell Tour.  I was all in. 

As we entered the concert hall I heard a familiar song,  I started to run down the hall yelling "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!"  It Was The Ace Of Spades!  It was Motorhead! :lol

Later that week, my buddy who was one of the Motorhead fans that I was needling about how I would never see them found out.  He then got my mom to let him in my room at home when I was at work and he hung up at least 6 pictures of Lemmy over my Geddy Lee pictures on my wall.

I didn't notice this for a few days. :lol
