Welcome to my online journal.  That's all I've got for now...sorry.

April 24, 2009 - Bier and Waiting Rooms

posted Apr 24, 2009 1:15 PM by Steve T   [ updated Apr 24, 2009 1:25 PM ]

So, I went back.
 
 
It is good, oh so good.  And when the weather is nice you can sit out in the Biergarten. 
 
 
I also had an experience with sitting in the family waiting room in a hospital.
 
Recently my wife had a laparoscopic outpatient procedure done.  Now, I am the one with the health issues.  I have a heart defect and various other things, so I am used to hospitals.  I am not used to hospital family waiting rooms.  How do you healthy people stand sitting there not knowing? 
 
Nothing else to add.  I love bier and hate hospital waiting rooms.  What else should I say?

So we visited a German restaraunt in Newport, KY this past weekend.  It is called Hofbrauhaus.  They had absolutely delicious beer.
 
And they served them in 1 liter glass steins (pictured above).  I love a brewery that only serves drinks in half liters and liters.
 
 
I added a new section called FoolKiller Films, where I will discuss movies.  It starts with a three part review of Bad Videogame Movies - The Beginning, featuring the three videogame movies that started it all, Super Mario Brothers, Double Dragon, and Street Fighter.
 
I also renamed the Videogame page Foolish Games.

So, I bought Rock Band 2 over the weekend, and I love it.  It fixes every issue I had with the original game.  I'll fully review it later.
 
Also, we are dog-sitting two cocker spaniels.  They have to be the dumbest dogs I have ever seen.  The fact that the male and my male chihuahua are battling for dominance by humping each other is rather disturbing.

My test results from the fertility specialist came in and I would like to announce that

MY BOYS CAN SWIM!

So, we are on to more tests on my wife.  

Changes to the site today:
  • Added an About Me page.
  • Created new background image.
  • Added Home Page image.

We had our second appointment with a fertility doctor.  They're doing more testing, this time on me (use your imagination), but I have no clue what we will wind up doing.  There is still a lot more to try before this gets crazy or expensive.  I hope we figure this out.  While I was never crazy about kids before I did hope to have them before I turned 30.  Too late for that. 
 
Assuming we get this worked out now I will be nearly 50 by the time our child will graduate high school.  With my heart I wonder, will I see it?  I'm not being depressing, or not tryying to be, but honestly I never thought I would see 30.  Too many family members with heart-related deaths, and I started with a headstart.  I'm counting my blessings and asking for a few more.  Priorities change over time, and it wasn't until I met my wife that growing old became one for me.  That's even more important as we try to become parents.
 
Oh well, back to figuring out where I put these car codes into Burnout Paradise.

Today I chose to launch my own Google site to create an online journal.  I refuse to call it a blog.  Weblog, maybe, but blog annoys me.  It is an online journal.  I will write what I want on here and post when I post other things other new headers, such as Video Games and Movies.  I will not discuss work or friends and family.  This is the Internet not a therapy session.  I love my relationships and my job.  I do not intend to be one of those people who gets fired or loses friends for posting stupid crap online.  If I wanted to do that I would have a Facebook or MySpace page.
 
Speaking of, if you know me you know I do not have Facebook or a MySpace, nor will I.  I talk to the people I want to talk to, and have done so for years without the benefits of social networking sites.  Many times in my life I moved on from one place to another (high school to college, from college to another college, etc) and only kept in touch with a handful of people.  In some cases I just fell out of touch, but in most I just didn't care.
 
If you don't know me you just learned that I can be callous.  Welcome to FoolKiller's Journal.
 
Today I launched the site and posted my first essay, An Objectivist's Look at Bioshock, where I compare the Objectivism found in Rapture to that which is found in Ayn Rand's writings.
 
 
 
 
And I am still trying to decide on a background theme.  I may see if I can creatte my own.
