Firstly some not so good news, but I really am not bothered by it -- I had to go for a follow-up appointment in the morning since my infected lymph node hasn't completely disappeared. It wasn't anything life-threatening nor is it causing me any discomfort currently, but the doctor referred me to the hospital anyway since I had nothing to lose (except money tsk). I am sad. Because that was the last time I'll be meeting with that doctor.
Err anyway, so my hospital appointment will be this coming Thursday, but I have to re-schedule and make it to Friday instead. I have Magazine Journalism, and I can't afford to skip any more c|asses. Besides, I've kind of caught up with my assignments, and I don't want to fall behind again. I handed in an assignment last Thursday when it was due 2 weeks ago, oops.

Anyway, time for some other better news.

I'm having an open-house right at this moment, and I've been holed up in my room. I only got out to greet my relatives. It's actually really boring, but at least I'm receiving money! I just got 54 bucks, free and easy, plus another 10 from some grocery shopping I did and kept the change.

Good, because then I can use the money to get that DDR game and mat I had reserved from another gamer. Yes, DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION! I seriously cannot wait to play it and make a fool of myself. I'm hoping to get another mat as well so I can invite my friends to play. It'll be a nice change for them, since they're always playing Guitar Hero when they come over. I'll be getting some exercise too while I'm at it. God knows I need some form of workout.

So yes, seeing that I've been in my room all day, I decided to be productive. In my gaming. As you all know, the last time I posted I talked about starting Batman Arkham Asylum. Well I've just recently beat the game on Normal not 10 minutes ago. It was a really short game, though it took me 4 days on and off. Overall, I can see that this game is quality-material despite not being a fan of Batman AT ALL, and I did learn some interesting facts I never knew about. Like Harley Quinn was actually a psychiatrist at Arkham but when she met Joker, her patient, she fell in love with him. Huh.

The only thing I hated about the game is the stealth parts, where you have to hop from gargoyle to gargoyle or hide in drains or whatever. It was seriously very tiring, and it killed my momentum. Every single time I have to get through this part, I was really close to calling it quits. I know the stealth was one of the selling points to the game, but it's just not my kind of thing. But eh, I'm done and I got a decent 550 points to go with it that pushed me just over 20k in my gamerscore. Huzzah!

Next up, Halo 3: ODST! It's still in its shiny, sparkling shrinkwrap oooh. And again, it's apparently a short game but there's Firefight and the Halo 3 maps for replayability. Can't wait to try it out, and ack, 10 days till my Gold subscription expires.

You know what'll be funny? If I find out that I dislike ODST.

Oh yeh I should also mention that I got Ghostbusters for the 360 last week. Not sure when I'll play that, since I plan to start Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 after ODST.

Speaking of Marvel, what was that X-Men comic that had Joss Whedon as its writer? Astonishing X-Men volume 3 or something, wasn't it? Heard there was a sort of collection/omnibus so that'll be a lesser pain in the butt to get. Hope it's not going to eat up too much into my pocket though but having said that, it probably will.

Alright I don't want to ramble too much. I'm now deciding if I want to collapse onto my bed face first, sideways, or on my back.
