heart failure is what's on the death certificate i think, but there were a lot of other problems, including a lack of health insurance, a bout of homelessness, and a history of self-medicating with alcohol. don't worry about your girlfriend. my understanding is that a huge part of the problem with CF/ME is that it can sort of make a person invisible because they aren't able to get out and socialize, so that your girlfriend has a supporting partner is a big step up from what was going on with my ex.

last night i had a dream that i was home alone - my wife had taken the kids out to visit her family to give me a break. i'd stocked the fridge with beer and i was just going to kick back, play video games, watch tv and relax by myself. i went to the kitchen to get a beer out of the fridge and a Flan Princess () from final fantasy 4 was in my kitchen. it looked kind of goofy and badly put together, sort of like a half-assed muppet crossed with a blancmange from that one monty python sketch, a really low budget monster, but somehow that was even more unsettling. it had a voice a lot like Droopy Dog, and it was very polite, constantly saying things like "good sir" and "i wonder if you can find it in your heart." it said it hadn't meant to startle me but that it was terribly thirsty and wanted to know if could spare it one of my Gatorades. i gave it one and it tossed the whole thing into its mouth. it kept apologizing for being a bother and asking for more, tossing anything i gave it into its huge mouth and then making a few up and down munching motions. i gave it more gatorades, some seltzer, and a quart of lemonade. then it asked if it could have some ginger ale, and i apologized, but told it that those were my wife's.

"oh, not to worry at all," it said, and it gave me this big smile, but it seemed like a mean smile somehow. it just sat there, grinning at me for a minute, and i wondered if i should just go back to the living room. it was really unnerving just standing there in silence across from it. suddenly, out of nowhere, it said "i killed your ex, you know." it should have felt silly because of how ridiculous it looked and sounded, but i knew somehow that it will telling me the truth, that my ex who died a few years back of myalgic encephalomyelitis had somehow gotten sick because of this thing. "your college friend too," it said (a friend from college recently died of ovarian cancer). "also your grandmother. pretty soon i'm going to kill your stingy wife." i got furious and reached to throttle the thing and just came up with a handful of pink blanket. i threw the blanket on the floor and started crying. the dream logic seemed to forget my family was away, because my son came in carrying a blue blanket. "it's okay daddy. you can have this blanket," he said, and when i looked at it, the Flan Princess face was on the front, laughing a kind of low chuckle. i screamed myself awake.

He goes: I’m very sorry, but those are for my wife! Normal people don't act that way!
I go: Bicyclops, just give me a ginger ale, please
All I want is a ginger ale, and he wouldn't give it to me
All I wanted was a ginger ale, just one ginger ale, and he wouldn't give it to me
Just a ginger ale

i was probated so by now i forgot some details but basically:

one dream involved shiggy being incredibly pissed off about unauthorized copies of super mario 64, so he personally went around destroying anything that might be or contain an illegal copy. i found this out while i was hanging out with someone who to troll pointed at a dog that was taking a poo poo and said "that dog is nintendo, and the turd is super mario 64". immediately shiggy appears driving a car and drives up the curb into the sidewalk, perpendicular to it, aiming for the turd. the poo poo is way too close to a wall so the car smashes the front against it, with the wheels unable to run over the poo poo. so shiggy just backs off and smashes into the wall again over and over in a frenzy. im about to tell him but i realize hes not paying attention to anything, putting all his focus into ramming the car back and forth into the wall, never able to run the turd over. he doesnt even look angry, just very determined.

a different dream had a whole bunch of stuff unrelated to any game, but two sections were separated by a sequence where a luigi with a huge round but squished face, and in the middle of it has g-man's facial features from hl2, shows up. he seems to be making an interlude like hes presenting a twilight zone short, talking cryptically as the gman usually does. heres my attempt at recreating this "luig-man":
