.: Mother
On friday I had the day off and I took my mother to another hospital to get a PET (Positron Emission Tomography) done on her lungs to determine if there were cancer-cells in her lungs that were easier to reach than the main tumor there, which is way in the back, close to her spine, and hard to reach for a biopsy. The scan didn’t take so long, but it took a long time for the radiology department to get to her, and for the radio-active contrast fluid (FDG, fluorodeoxyglucose) to settle. It took pretty much all day, but a lot of people came along, so it was relatively fun.

I have had the chance to do some primo-gaming this weekend; I got my Warcraft on, and had a good time. I’m glad that TBC caused the game to become less raid-focused. On the other hand, the shake-up it has caused among well-established guilds is a shame.
Sadly, I haven’t been to do any RPG’ing over the last few weeks, and I miss it quite a bit. Hopefully we’ll be able to game upcoming weekend, though it’ll be Dennis’ birthday, so perhaps it’ll get canceled again.

I can’t wait to get Flight of the Eisenstein in the mail this week. I’ve been reading Sons of Fenris, which is the latest installment in the Space Wolf series, but it’s just not as well-written as the entire Horus Heresy series has been so far. Also, the installment after Flight of the Eisenstein, Fulgrim is almost out, so I better get to readin’!

That’s just crazy! I thought there was nothing worse for education sector than new Polish government’s intolerance (which means that school programs will focus on poor Poland being oppressed and abused for ages by treacherous Germans and Russians). Seems that being too tolerant might be worse. Cause Polish kids at least will know that there were wars. So if they are interested they might check independent from school sources to learn more about it. English kids will be left in bliss state of oblivion. And if they go as far as thinking that Crusades are politically incorrect (AGES AGO, MAN!), soon the whole ancient history will be banned – wars, wars and wars again, usually with some religious background. Total craziness.
I looove history. I realize that it’s always been and is being manipulated even when I write these words. But to do it so blatantly in these times, that’s just beyond my comprehension.
