So, I had to go to the dentist to get a silly crown put on. My first. Yuck. At least I didn't need a root canal.

I get there and they take a blood pressure reading and it's like 180 over 100 or somesuch nonsense. They seem a bit concerned but chalk it up to nervousness. All goes well, in fact, for the work I had done, the temporary crown and a teeth cleaning, it was pretty painless and I couldn't be happier for a dental visit.

Unfortunately, yes, I have to go back for a permanent crown and to get two fillings repaired that have degenerated over the many years that I've had them.

So, I head back and get ready for another "painless" visit.

They take my blood pressure again.

215 over 110.

Holy, shit. I'm a goner. Let's see if I can survive long enough to get to the doctor tomorrow.

I could never figure out the measurements for blood pressure tests. You give me those numbers and I just stare off into space, because I don't understand the metric at all. Why two numbers? Wouldn't one have been a lot easier to understand?

Uh, anyway. I hope you get better soon. I kind of envy you, though... being one hamburger away from death would solve a whole lot of the problems I've been having lately. If one bite of a Big Mac could get me out of my mountain of debt and the specter of living with my mother (AGAIN) you'd fucking better believe I would do it.

Don't you die on us Yesman!

(I wonder if game systems can be used as defibrillators)
I did a google search of "Heart Attack Burger"; some of them are pretty scary.
and then there was that "Windows 7" Whopper promo!?!
http://www.gearfuse.com/proof-that-the-windows-7-whopper-exists/

I don't think that would fly in the US. Funny, as a lot of the world views us as unhealthy and obese already.

Anyways, post again sometime to let us know you're still alive and what, if any, lifestyle changes you're forced to make.

Geez, one member has a potentially serious health threat and the site administrator thinks he's better off dead! :'(
(and another member leaves, again, and the site is dead...)
What the Hell!?!

I wonder if I should join the newly started club somehow...

'Kay, I'm still here. Doc put me on some "ace" blocker to see if that would bring some numbers down but the headaches are still swirling around. Maybe in a few days things will calm down a bit.

Until then I've played through the rather atrocious Legendary for XBox 360 and Chromehounds which was not anywhere near as good as the Armoured Core series. Fortunately, I've heard that Armored Core 5 is coming out some time in the beginning of next year.

I've only heard disappointing things regarding Red Faction: Armageddon and I was looking forward to picking it up. Guess I'll wait until it hits $9 like Red Faction: Guerilla.

Picked up a new game called Venetica which I've heard nothing about. Seems like it was made in Europe somewhere based on the voice acting and pompery but it plays like most other 3rd-person action RPGs. I'll be playing it soon, maybe after I finally play FF13.

In MUSIC news:
New albums coming out in the next few months by:
Dream Theater in Semptember
Weird Al Yankovic - June 21!
Yes - July 12!
