what hospital are you going to?

Rex in North Carolina, it's one of the better ones. we're doing the chemo there this time because we'd start late and need to end on a Saturday (five day course) and the outpatient clinic is closed on weekends.

I'm seriously going to be bored and miserable what a sucky week. this cancer better die or I'm going to be so pissed.

Hmmm.  How about a very long game... like Morrowind or whatever else is in it's series next?  If I'm not mistaken, didn't those games have like...  120 hours of gameplay if you did close to everything in it?  Not sure if it's your forte.  Aside from that, you may consider getting a model of some kind -- I seriously lose time when I start building models -- I once woke up in the morning with one of the Perfect Grade Gundam models (I'm a Gundam nerd, duh), and it was 3AM when I had finished getting the frame and most of the armor attached.  Also, if you haven't done it in a while, it can bring back nostalgia too.

And there's also always the classic book-reading.  Pick up a good long-winded series...  Ender's Game/Shadow series, or Harry Potter, or whatever.  There are plenty of them out there...  I dunno, just a few ideas.

get a ds and play all of the pokemon games in order of their release.

You're going to need a gameboy too then.


And that's not counting console ones that weren't really anything to bother with anyway.

the ds can play gameboy games can't it???

Gameboy Advance only.  It can't play the older ones.

that's bullshit!!! why'd they do that.

oh whoops this is a bad place to start complaining about consoles

might i also suggest one of the many fine dragonlance sagas available in your local library

I totally second this notion.  Dragonlance is awesome -- probably the best Dungeons and Dragons based novel series.  Start with Dragons of Autumn Twilight and work your way forward to Spring in order of seasons.  Don't read of Summer Flame -- there are half a TON of books in that timeframe -- and Summer Flame pretty much ends one era and begins another with a new cast.  In summary -- Chronicles Trilogy, Legends Trilogy, Heroes I and II series, and so forth -- basically nothing from the Second Generation or Lost Chronicles -- or anything with "Dragons" in it for the most part, aside form those in the Chronicles.  Yeah... good series.

Write poems of self pity self pity poems, a lot of them

wah wah waaaaah

anyway Steel I hope the hostpital is not too bad and that you're able to make the best of it (and that you recover of course). this has had more all worried and sad and I wish you luck.
if I was religious I'd pray but...... im athiest,deal with it 

ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Terin

edit: this is a bad post. no one post like this!

hmmmm i wonder.... if you are caught watching porn while undergoing chemo, will they YELL AT YOU

terin, i'd be more inclined to just recommend the tales trilogy. i mean heroes as well obviously and maybe legends too, but tales is one of the more accessible series. plus in one of the stories raistlin has sex with an ogre. it's not canon though, oh well. there's another story, not tales though, with sturm brightblade and kitiara on the moon with big glass ants and gully dwarves (best race ever introduced in anything, just the way they mirror modern americans really cracks me up, they are like pigs), that one is pretty well-written.

there's the obvious movie suggestion but watching movies for a week straight is pretty boring. there are a bunch of old lucasarts games up on the zoo which should only be one-handed. depending on the arm you could write i guess if you've been meaning to start any raps.

read harry potter.
