A little late due to the start of school and the fracturing of the fibula . . . and you can bet my watching lists will start decreasing during the semester! I think I may start a monthly theatre list as well as the reading and movie/tv watching. Some good stuff here and if you …
So, no, this isn’t another in a series of Ltl’s mental and emotional inventories. This is just a quick update that I fractured my distal fibula when I tripped and fell as I stepped off a curb and into a slight pothole. I spend the next three days hoping I’d just twisted it and it would get better, but the nature of the pain the the swelling finally brought me to see a doctor on yesterday. A quick x-ray and it was off to the Orthopedics department to be seen and fitted with a boot that I need to wear for the next 3 weeks (fortunately I can take it off to sleep and shower).
This has diverted much of my attention away from the first week of school, as well as being frustrating because I’d lost 5 lbs from the last time I was at the doctor’s and now I’m worried about gaining it all back since I’ll be doing considerably less exercise. But it could be much worse and I’ll just need to be more careful with my diet (which I should probably do anyway – not that I eat poorly, I just have problems with portion control).
So, that’s an update on the physical. Here, you want to see some pics? Click through. I’m not a big fan of pictures of feet so I’m not going to put them up on the main page. (more…)
(Minor spoilers for “Let’s Kill Hitler”) For the first time in nearly 34 years, I am utterly disappointed and disconnected from the television show Doctor Who. After watching “Let’s Kill Hitler” the other night I have pretty much written off the rest of the season.1 Oh, I’ll continue to watch, grumbling as I do because …
As part of my schedule, I am writing at least 500 words each morning, Monday through Friday. This morning I was thinking about the hurricane and the title “The Parable of the Lover’s” came to me (partly because of a future PodCastle story and partly because I’ve been reading Borges). So I wrote this. It’s …

I’m only 43 days into my Project 365 but I have a few favorites I thought I’d post here in case you haven’t been checking the series out: All but the first image have been altered through using the the quartz composer’s film stock effect and I like how they have an almost painterly aspect …

The greyness of ok. Of getting up in the morning because I have to, because I have set goals for myself and I am striving to fulfill them. I don’t seem to take much pleasure in the things I do, even the things I ought to . . . no, things I do enjoy . …
