A Little Dizzy...and Soundtrack Not Thursday

Yeah, so let me tell you a story about my Thursday.

I woke up yesterday and the room wouldn't stop spinning, so I stayed in bed for about another 10 minutes until I felt like I could actually sit up without falling back over. I had some crazy vertigo, so I decided I should get it checked out at the doctor. I drove myself over there (in hindsight...probably not the best plan) and waited a good hour and a half to see a doctor. And I nearly went insane. There was this fellow who wouldn't stop calling the office over and over and the poor woman at the desk got so frustrated she just left him on hold. And then he stayed on hold. For ten minutes. It beeped constantly. For ten minutes. Add a couple of loud children playing with car keys and nothing to do but listen to crummy country songs about being abducted by aliens (seriously) and you'll understand how I began my murderous rampage.

Okay that didn't happen obviously (the rocket launcher on order was NEVER DELIVERED ALEX), but I got in there, was made to wait longer because there was an emergency (which is fair enough) and was out of there within five minutes after a diagnosis of an inner ear infection. I cannot do anything about an inner ear infection, but wait for it to get better. At least when you hear me complain about my ear hurting in the Half Life 2 videos, we now all know why it was hurting. This should not affect my LPs, but it will take about 2-3 weeks to get fully better. On my way out of the office there was this massive car crash in the intersection...which is like a 50km/hr zone so I have no idea how these people managed to completely total both cars. One had t-boned the other I think. Hopefully both parties are all right, but seriously one of them had to have been going at least 30 over the speed limit. In a residential area.

Like seriously. How am I going to be a bad influence if you're smushing all the corruptible young minds?

I was already extremely late for work at this point, having emailed my coworkers to tell them what was going on. I drove myself to the office (which I'm not really supposed to do with vertigo tee hee) and arrived to find out that I had left all my things at home aside from my phone and wallet. I freaked out for a good couple minutes in the parking lot before I just shrugged and went inside. I quickly ran upstairs to get to a team meeting. I entered through the door and everyone was standing there with glasses of sparkling wine and within seconds I'm handed a glass. Apparently the meeting was to celebrate the launch of one of our communities (which I'm not allowed to talk about quite yet, but I will in a few days). So yeah I was essentially late for a party. I was super happy because I had no lunch with me and suddenly, SANDWICHES. I spent the remainder of the afternoon on a loaner laptop trying to get something useful out of google documents.

And the point to this whole story is that there was no soundtrack Thursday yesterday, so that will be happening today. Yay.

I'm going to make it a Jesper Kyd day.

Assassin's Creed 2 - Actually one of my all-time favourite soundtracks.

Hitman 4: Blood Money - Haven't played the Hitman games. Michael has played a few. Still, I am very familiar with the soundtrack. I used the first track in the compilation to inspire part of a story.

It's cold in here again. Good thing I didn't take my blanket home.

QUICK LUNCH BREAK SONG

AND ANOTHER ONE

Okay. I love Miracle of Sound.

Borderlands 2 - Haven't played this one yet either. I have been told that I should. Just another one to add to the list...

Darksiders 2 - The Literal Trailer for this is probably one of my favourite things ever. Watched an LP of the game and it looked pretty bad. Mesk you would vomit reading the comments on this video.


Not much to tell you about LPs at this point. May be working on another project with Voyeur playing Neverwinter Nights. If that happens, you will see what my face looks like when I play video games. I apologize for all the screens I break in advance.
