More Dragon Quest VIII. Almost 40 hours in and I’m still having a lot of fun. I need to try out Skyward Sword HD tonight, too.

One can never go wrong with some good jerky.

Yep, they're my work snack. I've usually got a pack in my backpack.

Yeah, I thought those were gross, even as a kid. I do enjoy some Ritz peanut butter crackers, though.

Got my Red Sox-Orioles tickets for September. That was the first big bucket list trip I took as an adult and it was so memorable. I’m really excited to be going back.

Now reading The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon by Stephen King. Looked like a good little short read.

Never had Takis either. Honestly, I’m just not a big snack person. I do like Cheetos Puffs, though. I’m with Joe there. Crunches are bleh, Puffs rock. It’s bad the vending machine at work usually carries them.

I got my amiibo, but I almost want to leave it sealed for how ridiculous it is. Also, as much as I love BOTW, I also just really enjoy a more traditional Zelda. No reason not to love all the styles.

I have never eaten Combos.

Looks good, only I'm not a huge fan of raw onions on most things. I love to pile on the tomatoes. And if I can I like spinach over lettuce.

Oookay.

It's not really funny if you understand how things work. It's also not very funny for the millions of people who didn't get vaccinated and have gotten sick and struggled or even died from it.

Yankees/Red Sox game postponed due to multiple Yankees testing positive for covid. Sigh.

Yeah, I was looking at that. Weird. I can't recall exactly when I sold my copy, but that was around the going rate for it at the time.

Damn, I sold my sealed Class of Heroes 2G a few years ago for $225.

It’s often a post-op complication. Given his history of gut trauma and multiple surgeries, he’s at a higher risk.

Small bowel obstruction. It occurs in the small intestine, basically nothing can get past the blockage, so it remains and causes a lot of pain and nausea. If it’s minor, we just give the patient gut rest, nothing to eat or drink until it resolves. Next step is generally a nasogastric tube insertion to decompress. That’s where you get all that nasty junk, which is what they pulled off this guy. It’s just whatever is floating around that can’t get through, green, brown junk. They usually feel a ton better when that’s out. A more severe case requires surgery to fix the the cause of the obstruction. Adhesions to the intestinal wall, whatever. Sometimes a bowel resection is required. The literal shit is what’s left after digestion and absorption in the stomach and small intestine. That’s what your large intestine is for. You can have blockages there, but this is sounding more like a typical serious SBO.

It’s not exactly shit. I deal with SBOs all the time at work.

Yep, that’s what it is.

I like to bounce around, actually. But I’ll be getting to If It Bleeds before too long.

What’s your favorite collection? I've got Different Seasons, Skeleton Crew, Everything’s Eventual, Full Dark No Stars, and If It Bleeds on my shelf.

I read The Last Time I Lied by Riley Sager. Just junk food reading, not bad. Still working on Night Shift. Some of the stories have been great, others, eh. Definitely a mixed bag. Also started The Fountains of Silence by Ruta Sepetys and The Splendid and the Vile by Erik Larson.

I enjoyed that. Really liked the "family" dynamics. Well casted.

It's not bad, but it's my least favorite so far. Curious to see the finale and how it ties in to the following movies.

On the rare occasion I eat a McDonald’s burger…or any standard fast food burger, it’s just patty, lettuce, tomato, pickles. I do not like that generic American cheese garbage they use. I’ll get better cheese if I go to a nicer place for burgers. Grilled onions and mushrooms, too.
