Dangerous Dave and Perilous Perky Strike Again!

Level 4 Kickoff
Here Pat and Tom will introduce you to the regulars at Kickoff, and also Bill the bartender. With their help and maybe some Hedonist, you must take over the BIG SCREEN T.V. to watch the ever popular “An Evening with Kevin Smith”…. or at least that is what Pat and Tom told you. Just remember to watch out for John!

Level 5 A Level With Kevin Smith
You got sucked into the screen and are immersed into a hodge podge of Kevin Smith movies. Watch out for enemies and other characters from the movies for help. To meet thy maker, collect and return 37 movies to Big Choice.

Level 6 Columbia Under Construction
As you are spewed back into the real world, not sure if you had just dreamed that or it really happened, you stagger your way along Columbia in the midst of its widening process. Watch out for pits and other constuction mayhem, and hopefully you will make it to the house of the wise old Sage Donny.

Level 7 110
As you enter you are confronted with a huge screen TV and shelves of DVDs. You think this house might be a little strange, but you were told to come here. As you make your way through, you are confronted by assorted TV evils that block your way. There is one last person you need to get through before you can hear Donny’s much needed words.

Level 8 Fortress of Solitude
You now know that you must head to the 6th floor of the Fortress of Solitude, but you don’t know what will await you on each floor. Tread carefully, and hopefully you will make your way to the end.

So there it is guys. Hopefully this game will actually get made. We will keep you posted about the progress. Any comments or suggestions feel free to pass them along!

So, we think we might be making a game.

Dangerous Dave and Perilous Perky (a.k.a. Becky)

Level 1 Old-School Grebel
You enter as frosh and quickly meet the old-timers of Grebel who will be around to guide you throughout the game. People like Pat and Tom (the dynamic duo) and Donny and Doug. Donny hands out fried rice, and Doug supplies the always-present Coke, both of which increase your health. Pat and Tom help guide you by telling stories of times gone by. The Dons create havoc for you and generally block your way. The way out is guarded by Mary and her match-making gaze that she throws towards you. If you happen to be hit too many times, you may be trapped forever in Grebel. WHAHAHAHAH!

Level 2 Needless Hell
Since you didn’t get married you must now find a job, and so you find yourself in Needless Hell. This is a maze level with things constantly blocking your way. Never fear though, co-op is here… or should you trust them? Don’t get stuck in line ups, or filling out forms. You might just run out of time. The way out of the maze is a little tricky but I’m sure the Registar will help you out.

Level 3 Ring Road
You must defeat the Campus Police and help your friends from back in Grebel with their “Shenanigans”. They will reward you after helping them with a fun trip to a favourite hangout.

Extended footage!

Hi, I just got an email with a link to see some extended footage of the final instalment of Lord of the Rings. It includes behind the sceans, interviews and actual finished film. Take a look if you care to. Enjoy!

I'm BAAACCCKKK!

Just Quickly letting you all know that I'm out of the hospital and back living in my apartment. I'll be spending my mornings and nights there and probably most afternoons and evenings at 110. So if you are looking for me, those are good places to start. Also giving me a call on my cell phone is a good way to track me down. See you all soon!

Home for the Holidays.... or what I like to call being out of the Hospital!

This is just a quick post to let you all know that the plan is for me to be released from the hospital tomorrow in the afternoon. Give me a day or two before major visiting... I just started eating real food today, so I'm fairly worn down. The plan for now is to go back to living in my apartment and have Dave stay with me until I'm on my feet again, so to speak. For those of you who live near by, if you have some spare time over the next week or two and want to do your part in the help Becky recover (HBR) effort, just let Dave or I know when you can come over and we will let you know what would be nice for you to help with. Thanx everyone for all of your prayers and thoughts. Hopefully I'll see you guys soon.

Knowing too much and being allowed to do too little

I'm ready to flip being in this hospital. I have no control over anything and people don't trust me here. I'm used to looking out for myself when in the hospital and I can't do anything to help myself even when I try. For instance, they changed my dressings on my catheters today at dialysis... but someone did a really shitty job and they are litterally falling off. I asked the nurse for a new dressing, but they aren't "allowed to touch them" here on the floor. It's a simple dressing, that I had been trained to do myself, and quite frankly I do a much better job of it all around. Finally someone from the dialysis unit made there way up here, but had been given the wrong information and brought the wrong supplies. It took over 3 hours to get this process done, which could have taken 5 minutes if the nurse just listened to me and gave me the supplies. It's stupid stuff like that drives me crazy. I know what to do, how to do it, and probably do a better job... but i'm not allowed! At first I thought I was spoiled at the other hospitals i've been to, but i'm slowly realizing, that it isn't spoiling, it's treating me like a human being who is an equal, and not an involed. This equality was even present at the Children's Hospitals i've been to, if not more so. I don't know what to do about the system here, but I really don't want to stay here at this hospital much longer; as an in-patient or as a simple dialysis patient.

In the Hospital

So, it's 2:37 am and I'm in the hospital after my surgery. Things went fairly well, except for a small delay this morning, because some of my blood work was weird. They ended up retaking it and it turned out fine, so with a close to 2 hour delay my surgery got underway. Everything went fine and I'm feeling well. I actually had just got up for a walk before coming on-line here, and felt fine on my feet. My stomach is upset once every so often, but it isn't a big deal; I think it just needs some food in it to work on.
As far as visiting goes. I have dialysis tomorrow afternoon at 1:30 so if you do want to visit in the afternoon i'll be on 3E at the dialysis unit. My room at the moment (and hopefully to the end of my stay, because it is a private room) is 6D26. We figure I'll be in until atleast the middle of next week, and hopefully out by the weekend at the latest. As always, email me to check if i'm up for visitors or give me a call. You should be able to get ahold of me one way of the other. Call the hospital and ask for my room if you want to phone me. Please keep in mind that visiting hours are between 1:30 and 8:30.
Well that is all for now, hope to hear from you soon.

Back to a form of the real world

Well, hello all. I'm well on the road to recovery at this point. My surgery (number 1) went well and I think i'm officially off of the tylenol 3s at this point. My stomach really doesn't like them and so the sooner I get off of them the better I feel. I'm still not able to move my arm fully and am still on extra strength tylenol for the most part, but i'm feeling well and alot less tired. Anyways, just thought i'd let you all know... so there we go!

One Day at a Time

Well, my two surgeries are fast approaching and to be quite honest i'm at the end of my emotional rope. I've spent the last day crying a fair bit. Last night at dialysis I was told I needed a new line put in, only thing is this one is going to be in my leg. I'm really worried about it and how much i'll be able to do once it is in. My first surgery is a week away, November 5th. It is just a day surgery and I should be home that evening. The second is at the end of the month, the 26th, and I'm guessing i'll be in for atleast a week. I'm not too worried about my surgeries, but it's just everything put together in such a tight time frame. I'm also trying to finish up my one and only course but things keep happening with that to mess things up. I was supposed to complete 2 labs today that I would be missing later this term, but I don't feel up to it today emotionally, and also I don't know when my line is going to be put in (i'm waiting for the call). I'm also getting the DE cd's for this course, but my cd-rom has decided to stop working. Things like this wouldn't normally bother me, but they are at this time. So, for everyone who is reading this... give me a little space, I'm sorry if I flip out on you, and please try to bare with me. I need my friends more then ever right now, but I may not always be in the mood for visiting.
