Still not dead
Things have been happening and I've not been blogging. Mostly because I've been being more social with the other people in the house and around town.
For instance, last night I drove to Boulder (following the crazy, circuitous directions the Garmin gave me) to watch Neil Gaiman read the second half of Chapter 7 of The Graveyard Book. He actually started a little farther back than half way to give us some context for what the people in LA on Monday night got: a Hutchinsss worthy cliff hanger. When Neil shut the book on Monday, the LA crowd screamed "NOOOO!!!" apparently.
After we moved the TV a couple weeks ago, we went to a near by restaurant that used to be Golden Pizza, a buffet style pizza place. Apparently they closed down several years ago and it became a mexican restaurant, which also closed down. Now it's the Hits The Spot Cafe, serving primarily breakfast foods. It's really tasty and pretty affordable; if only it weren't upwards of 15 minutes away.
I was cleaning the bathroom on Tuesday, and went to get something out of a box in the garage (a bucket for the mop, I think) and had to move another box to get to the bucket. On top of the box I moved was the car battery charger I dug out after my battery died (it hasn't died since; though sometimes the driver's side window has trouble rolling up). It's a reasonably heavy steel box, about the size of a car battery. I thought the box was stable, but apparently it wasn't; the charger fell (along with the rest of the box) and landed on my left big toe. It took it a little while to start bleeding, so long in fact that I didn't think it was going to until I looked down and saw it about to drip off my toe and on to the carpet. I dug out my band-aids and wrapped it up, then went back to work cleaning. The band-aid started falling off, so I taped it back down with electrical tape.
At dinner tonight (5 cent burger night at Gunther Toody's) moon_orchid asked "Why do you have green electrical tape on your toe?" What I should have said was "Because I couldn't find the black." What I actually said was "To hold the band-aid on."
I still haven't done push ups in a while. I did discover that I can do clap push ups though, so that's something.
And now for something almost completely random:
A Katamari Wedding Cake. Looks tasty!
