Another day with the nurses...

Ordinarily, this would be autoposted by the posting pixies, since I'd be hurtling North to my home away from home in Albany. But I've taken a vacation day in case Mom comes out of rehab today; I'll be spending the day at the hospital in case the predicted move to rehab comes off today. I'll also be making a regrettably sober appearance at my favorite pub tonight. No drinking for me for the near term. I have to get off my cholesterol and blood sugar meds before I can do any drinking. I've no intention of turning my already endangered liver into a whiffle ball by combining alcohol with my current meds.

Today's featured Modern Warfare 2 vid is another edition of The Ken Burton Show. This time, Ken looks at the M21-EBR. Also included today is a booster hunt vid by ProsDON'TtalkShit. Tho I'm not a RTS guy, there's a buttload of Starcraft II launch links, including a news item about the Activision price hike on the game. Sounda familiar? Moving on...
