Unfortunately, I didn’t bring my camera today, so I had to settle for my camera phone.

Last wednesday I made the coolest purchase ever.

That’s right, those shoes with the wheels on them that you see 8 year olds riding around on are available in adult sizes.

What. Yes I realize maybe a 25 year old guy shouldn’t be into 8 year old kid fads, but these are shoes with wheels on them. This has to be the greatest innovation in shoe technology since nike invented the sneaker!

What? Okay so I get strange looks rolling around Best Buy in them. But it’s just jealousy. I swear.

Screw you guys.

So I woke up today short of breath. Chills and coughing I can handle. Not being able to breathe worries me a bit. I decide to go to see a doctor.

My doctor is closed of course, since it’s Sunday. I call around a bunch of general practitioners and they’re all closed too. So I do what I figure most people do on Sundays, go to a hospital.

I’m feeling kind of guilty going to the Emergency Room, since this isn’t really, in my opinion, an emergency. But when I get there at 8:52am there’s no one else around so I figure not being able to breathe is a good enough excuse to be there. they write SOB (shortness of breath I hope) on my slip and send me in right away.

7 hours, a chest xray, CT scan, intravenus antibiotics, ungodly number blood tests, diabetes test, and $2750 later, I’m discharged from the hospital.

Plus I have to pay whatever they charge for the chest x-ray, which they’re going to bill separately, and $145 in prescriptions.

Christmas is officially cancelled.

Yay for being the only first world country in the world without socialized medicine.

Okay so I missed a few days of photos, I was sick.

I was still sick today, when I destroyed the neighbors tree stump by means of a chainsaw, a stump grinder, a shovel, and a pickaxe.

In the foreground is the chainlink fence which hopefully, now that the stump has been removed, will be replaced by a wood fence. In the background is not the stump, it is a big chunk of the stump which I stuck all the tools into to create a triumphant piece of modern art. The stump itself was at least 3x bigger than that thing.

The McCartney concert was pretty good. The first half he played all sorts of stuff from his solo career that wasn’t great, but he brought it in the end with the Beatles stuff. It’s always interesting to see old people rocking out.

After the concert we went to get food. The night before we discovered the Korean BBQ place I went to last time was closed and replaced with a sushi bar. What we didn’t notice then was that there was a new Korean BBQ place open next door. IBob and Teo took me there for my birthday.

Nothing better than your favorite food on your birthday.

Today I am 25. Being old sucks. At least in about an hour I’m going to head off to see Paul McCartney in concert at the MGM.

I’m taking photos, but I don’t have an SD card reader to upload the images, so they’ll have to wait till Monday.

Oh, and as of right now, I’m up 53 bucks! Okay, it’s not a fortune, but it’s better than being in the red.

They were out of oysters. At an oyster bar.

It’s okay though; the nice lady pouring drinks gave me a free cheesecake because it was my birthday, which was cool. The food is always good there anyway, so we had a good time. I made the $53 dollars playing blackjack while Teo was in line.
