What a fucking day. This week is the only full week off I have all summer. Our family had planned to get out of town for a bit of vacation, but that got put in limbo because I was subpoenaed for a court case to testify on behalf of a patient I saw who got shot (basically I go to court to read the c...

I agree that the buildup and announcement was not handled well, but good PR and hype has never been a strong point of AB and most of the side projects.

But for all those disappointed that they only announced the cruise yesterday, relax. There's going to be a tour. Mark has always said as much.

Saraysign - Everdying Night



What a freaking amazing band.

Ew I just got an email about the cruise, lousy AB mailing list betraying me like that. All right, Creed cruise is in April 2024. AB has the Fall to do something. Right? The something being to stop being too scared to play Fable live. I'm fully expecting a late spring/summer amphitheater tour after ...

Vive le Tour!

Cue the ballad, zazzers! Witcher Season 3 is out!

Hi. May I ask why people join fan clubs? Like the linkin park fan club for instance? What do people get out of it? Occasional deals on tickets or merch or something? I subscribe to the Iron Maiden fan club because they select their First to the Barrier pre-entry guests from there. Paid off when I s...

That's awesome, Crumbso! And that is a freaking huge bike. I hope you had good weather. It's been all over the place in the US Southwest this spring when usually you can count on a lot of warm (but not too hot) sunny days with just scattered showers. Hopefully you're over covid and it wasn't too bad...

That sounds like a great trip, Kev!

Thanks, B. I'll be fine. It's just serial blood tests to see if/when I convert, and then 6 months or more of a couple antibiotics if I do. In the paramedics' defense, they also are understaffed, short on resources, and overworked (meanwhile their corporate overlords reap craptons of profits), and th...

The Netflix documentary Tour de France - Unchained is freakin awesome!!!

I'm pessimistically looking forward to Oppenheimer. On one hand, that little section of science/politics/human rights/religion/conflict in human history, and how they all overlaid on each other, is about as compelling as there has ever been. On the other hand, I am worried that Christopher Nolan wil...

Just binge watched the 4 seasons of In The Dark with my wife who dragged me into it. It was worthwhile for the first 2 seasons, got annoying in the third, moved mercifully toward some decent resolution in the 4th but then ended in such a crappy malignant and ultimately foolish manner in the final ep...

So EMS brought me a patient the other day, billed over the biophone call from the ambulance as a gastrointestinal bleed and vomiting blood. They arrive and I listen to the paramedics' initial presentation who note that they can't understand the patient well because he speaks Spanish, then I turn to ...

Good bump, Max. Here's my update, around 10 years later... I want to take a rafting/camping trip through the Grand Canyon Bike up l'Alpe d'Huez in France Take my wife in first class to Italy on our 20th anniversary - no kids Write a novel And finish climbing the 54 14,000 ft mountains in Colorado. I...

Succession just finished. It was sort of interesting most of the time, and the acting was pretty awesome, though I didn't get all the hype around the story. I mean, you can watch CNBC and get much of that series in real life every day, so the unique part of the show ended up just being kind of soap ...

Found this poster online - really cool layout in my opinion, wouldn't mind something like it for myself, but cannot find AB even though there are some bands they've toured with on it. Can anyone else find them? I'd expect them to be in the lower left somewhere. https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/126...

As you all know. I have been assigned to Tallahassee for a while now. There is just no medical staff here. Anyway on Wednesday of this week a travel coworker was leaving. She is such an awesome nurse and loves her patients so much. I bought her flowers and a cake. At 4:45 am in my little rental SUV...

Truth be told, I have given up on girls. They're just impossible for me to understand. (Except Noelle. I'm pretty sure that after having known her for all 16 years of her life, I would understand her.) I think it's summed up best by these Rush lyrics: We are secrets to each other Each one's life a ...
