Random Tuesdayness

Since I missed Ozzfest, thus missing Metallica, I talked the guys into doing a summer tour — and they'll be coming to Houston in November (I didn't really talk to them, but that would have been cool). Anyway, we snagged our pre-sale tickets yesterday, and we got great seats:

We're on the 8th row, seats 1 through 4 — so we can more easily flee if need be. =)

I'm addicted to the games Hanoi and Air Hockey on my iPhone.

Prison Break has been one of the most consistently good shows on TV, but I wasn't too impressed with last night's premier. It was too rushed, and there were too many hokey happenings.

I'm about to head into Phase II of my Jeep's sound system upgrades, and thanks to the LockPick install I just did, I now have preamp outputs that I can use with a second amp for the interior speakers. Sure, speaker-level is doable — but preamp outputs make for cleaner work. I'm thinking of using Apline's MRP-F250 to run the front and overhead speakers.

For speakers, I'm currently considering an Infinity Reference 6020cs and 6022si combo.

We shall see...

We had Dad's third chemo cycle last week, and he's still doing well as far as how he feels. The main problem we're having is with his breathing — he has massive shortness of breath on exertion. The more we research online, the more we find case after case of people having his exact symptoms while taking Rituxan. Since he's already predisposed to pulmonary issues die to his asbestosis scarring, it seems more and more likely that his current issues are Rituxan-related. The good news is that the effects go away after treatment. The bad is that we don't know for sure that this is what's happening — but we'll be working on that this week.

All in all, things are going great, though. His cancer is dying, and if it weren't for the shortness of breath and appetite issues (while taking chemo, after just a few bites of food, you no longer want to eat that food), he'd feel fine. This is a major answer to prayer, and we're thankful God has been merciful and compassionate.

So, please continue to pray for him, but especially for his shortness of breath and appetite issues.

I want an aquarium again, but my wife won't let me have one.
