Bah humbug, Feliz Navidad, Happy Boxing Day, and Piss Off ..
Time for one of my thought-provoking (semi-monthly) updates on the current state of the Brigade. As this one will be pointedly bitchy and generally nasty (since I'm stuck alone @ the office on this most auspicious day, doing not much of anything (i.e. shit busywork) and kinda grumpy about another holiday away from my family), comments have been disabled for posts this season. Yes, the pain. I understand. Have a moist towelette.
Speaking of moist .. if you haven't heard/seen you might not know about my latest adventure/bout of stupidity. No ..it doesn't involve a woman this time (bastards).
Y'see .. I was at home working on "Arts and Crafts" when I heard a band of Ninjas creeping outside on the balcony (yes my hearing is THAT damn good) and decided that it would be best to lead an assault against them because damn it, I'm almost to triente anos and it's that time of year again and I'll be god damned if I can stomach one more so it's time to toss in the towel. Well .. I took care of the ninjas, but I'll be damned if those bastards didn't go down without a bit of a fight (I know, Demi-godhood and all that .. no chance in hell for them, but they took some convincing).
So I now have a nifty new attention-getter/fashion accessory/sympathy generator currently emblazoned with the warning (courtesy of the wonderful woman who dragged me home from the hospital @ 1AM on a Wednesday night) "Be Advised: Keep all sharp objects (and Ninjas) away from Brigade."
So, 3 interior (sliced muscle .. COOL!) and 7 exterior (down to 6 now .. blew the first one out in less than a day) stitches, a LOT of blood (did you know that the bright red blood is bad? Yea, that's muscle blood), several VERY moist towelettes, some narcotic pain pills (don't need em) a TON of antibiotics (don't want em), and a sore-ass shoulder (Tetanus shot) later, I'm doing just fine.
Aside from not getting to play Xbox (as aforementioned hottie pointed out for me on the way to discharge, much to the amusement of the staff .. or maybe that was my explicative chagrin) or play "Stranger in a Strange Land" for a few days .. nothing too terrible. Little weakness, but that's about it. Hell, the specialist even prescribed me "Mild Exercise" for my thumb .. which means no Halo, but Katamari Damascy is a-ok. Which is why I love my 360, because the game is SO much better with my own custom soundtrack (a-la Bozo Porno Circus, Slayer, etc. etc.) streaming from my notebook.
oh .. I almost forgot my new Official Pirate Name: Crip[ple] McLefty.
Y'know what? I think that's plenty for one miserable holiday. Stay tuned for parts deux and tres over the course of the week (I'll be bored enough @ the office, trust me).
