"TAP...TAP" Is This Thing Even On?
I'm Out of the Hospital! I'm Sitting in Front of a Computer.

See you in 10 minutes over at https://www.twitch.tv/brickmuppet
He was a huge influence on U.S. cinema and because he was indie in the machine dominated Hollywood of the day he was able to (and did) find, elevate, and give room to fly many iconoclastic talents that would have been ignored or buried by an industry that could not abide their out of the box thinking and styles. Martin Scorsese, Jack Nicolson, James Cameron , and many others got their starts because of him. He had another, albeit indirect effect on American Pop-Culture. As the head filmmaker for the indie studio American International Pictures he was instrumental to introducing the American audience to several Kurosawa films, popularizing & legitimizing Japanese cinema in the eyes of the U.S. general public (as opposed to the hoity-toity art house set). Because of his Corman was (very) tangentially involved in bringing over another movie that had similarities to his own radioactive monster films.
Godzilla opened the door to Japanese sci-fi, and a decade later the first Americanized anime.
This, in turn, set the great historical pachinko machine in motion in that particular set of "clicks" that resulted in...
So my Mom was traumatized at a young age by a relative dying of sepsis. Every time I'd get a cut..."It'll become sepsis!"
Every time I go to the ER...""It's sepsis isn't it!?"
Of course it's never sepsis.
Tuesday however, I had to call Mom, rub my foot on the ground and say Mom....you were right again....
I told myself I would get up, make some anti-doxxing adjustments and photo the nurses info panel, but by the time I was both un-hooked from the IV and had the energy to walk across the room, "explain sepsis" had been removed the nurses to-do list.
I'm BAAAACK!
Join us tonight at 7:30pm EST/ 11:30pm UTC for the triumphant return of the Brickmuppet to streaming. I'm OUT of the hospital and raring to go all Mathew Perry on Inazuma! We'll clear a few Spiral Abyss floors as well, so mosey on over to https://www.twitch.tv/brickmuppet , grab a drink and a snack, as you come for the scuff & stay for the cringe!
Rage Stream!
I have lost two blog posts into the ether. So in a fit of rage and pique, I'm going to do a rare Saturday stream. Join us at 8:00pm EST 00:00 UTC as we have a laid back, chill Genshin Impact stream poking about in Inazuma and try to get the teleporters to work. If we get them working, then after doing daily's who knows? Main storyline? Chat engagement collabs? I don't know either, so let's find out!
Stream Adjustment
The IRL-RNG has necessitated a rescheduling of tonight's Disgaea stream. However, the Zomboid Collaboration stream will go on as scheduled.
Join us tonight at 10pm EST / 2AM UTC for a PROJECT ZOMBOID theme mission. What's a "Theme Mission" , you might ask. Well I have no idea, SO LET'S FIND OUT! Join me and 8 other V-tubers as we explore the remnants of post apocalyptic Tennessee at Brickmuppet: https://www.twitch.tv/brickmuppet
Rumors of My Alive-idness Were Slightly Exaggerated
The house got struck by lightning, frying one of the wiring legs and keeping me off the computer for a week. The past week has seen everything fixed (mostly) streaming resume and 2 attempts at blogging get eaten by the Minx monster. (I THINK Mee'n you still uses Minx)
Now I have a broken tooth, meaning that everything is back to normal and the end times are not upon us.
I'm ALIIIIIVE!

Ah, the joys of modern medicine, where they miraculously cure things that might have been fatal even a decade or so ago with just a pill, but still leave you wondering if it was worth it.
Get well soon, and with a minimum of side discomfort!

Hope you are feeling better by now. Or at least experiencing better side effects.

Just saw a post over at Ubu's place and it looks like he, like our esteemed host, has been having a tough time of it.

Ack!..."Thud"
I've been spectacularly ill off and on since Thursday afternoon (why I haven't streamed). Early this morning, I ran to the ER. It turns out not to be the flu, COVID or KNOXitis, but a bacterial kidney infection. The local pharmacies are out of the prescribed antibiotics due to the current shortages, but they've ordered some & in any event I've been on IVs for hours, so I feel a lot better.

I was running errands when the launch finally happened but I got to go back and watch NSF's stream to see the actual flight (I did skip a bit in the middle.)

I'm Back
My Mom, my Dad, and, my Uncle have had me on edge for a few weeks as all have had medical scares, been to the hospital and all three have had surgeries of varying levels of seriousness. But it was my wacky Aunt Virginia, who, as is her wont, completely surprised everybody by doing something utterly unexpected.
The nieces and nephews have mostly recovered from the shock and the wake was a fairly upbeat affair, befitting Aunt Ginny's exuberant nature.
However, this past week has been a reminder that tragedy can come at the most unexpected times and it is best to treasure the time we have here, for that time is finite.
