Correction to previous post on my nephew

Just found out that my nephew is going to a psychiatric facility in Douglasville (right next door to Atlanta) rather than the one in Savannah. Apparently, it is closer to Columbus.

Also, the bailout bill passed the House today (after the Senate approved it earlier this week).

Dammit.

At least it included some provisions for protecting homeowners, although I don’t expect that to placate the "No Bailout" campaign, which wants to jail the bankers (which I don’t mind, except that its a rather populist approach).

Also, I found out the difference between a web host and an FFmpeg host, and wrote a wiki article on it. Then wrote some more wiki articles on LGBT wings and affiliates of political parties.

And I found out, through a little "strenuous activity" in the bathroom and a later subsequent look on Wikipedia, that I have a subarachnoid hemorrhage, one that I’ve actually had for over a year or more. Of course, I only hit upon what the effect of such a hemorrhage after I felt a tremendous "thunderclap headache" right after the orgasm, but I surmised that I’ve had it for far much longer because I usually feel sore in the back of my head and neck when verbally talking to someone alot (I previously attributed this to shortness of breath, so I try to breathe in before I continue talking).

I’m hoping that this doesn’t get worse, though, or that this doesn’t lead to a life-threatening situation for me (the symptoms look pretty grim, though). I’m certain that internal bleeding in the back of your head is not an ideal situation to find yourself in.

Two happenings

Today, the House defeated the bailout plan. It has divided both the conservatives into two camps (pro-corporate and nationalists), as it has also split the liberals/progressives in similar fashion (anti-corporate and pro-nationalization). I guess that a "¡No pasarán!" is warranted?

Also, I found out, on his birthday, that my oldest nephew has been diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome. Being told that he will spend around a year in a psychiatric facility in Savannah after this weekend was a bit….sudden. No wonder my sister has brought him up to the base here to see a psychiatric doctor.

Plus, it reminds me of this post from back in May. Funny that I talk about the autistic spectrum earlier this year only to find out four months later that my nephew has symptoms that reside within it as well.

Now his mother is comparing his behavior to that of Napoleon Dynamite.
