Sunday

*yawn* I didn't get much sleep last night either. I slept for a bit in a post-coital haze from 1 to 2:30am then some snoring woke me up. Once up, I decided to go back to the Tickled Pink book. I'd only read the first 2o pages and was curious about it.

I'm happy to say that it's not just a good start. The book reads quite well past there. I'm now half finished and I really like it. It helps that I've long admired the author, well known standup comedian Rita Rudner, but you don't need to be familiar with her to enjoy the book. It's quite well written.

We had quite a thunder and lightning show roll through here around 5am. I lost electricity for almost a minute so there's a lot of clocks that need to be apologized to so that they'll stop blinking. Drama queens!

It's still raining pretty hard but that's okay. We need the water and it's a nice break from a few days of hot weather. It's just under 65 now and it feels pretty good. I opened all the windows when the temp dropped around 4:45am and there's a good breeze going though the house now.

Well, one more round at Michele's with Marian and then it's back to bed for a few hours. Zzzz. (maybe)

It's so hot here at the moment. We're due a thunder storm tomorrow.

Hope you've had a good weekend.

Awww....linky love!

You thought you'd just slip that "post-coital haze" past us and no one would notice, eh?

I've been sick too....but aren't getting the same kind of "medicine" that you are!

Here by way of our pal michele...

I like listening to unabridged Books on CD when I can and Tickled Pink is read by Rita Rudner herself. It really brings the book to life hearing her dry intonation read the very funny book. I always pictured Uma Thurman as Ursula for some reason. Maybe Scarlett Johansson instead. Rita would be too old to play herself, but maybe some younger up and coming comic could do it justice.

I'm watching a movie I like "Elizabeth Town." Don't know how it turns out yet. So far quirky people and some tears because someone lost their father and I did this past November.

I like the new header. Michele says hi.

You've definitely gotten tongues wagging with the pc haze word choice. Good one!

You've reminded me that it's been too long since my burg, the so-called thunderstorm capital of North America, hasn't had one in a while.

I almost miss the meteorological drama.

I love that idea, Yellojkt. I normally don't like books on tape but Rudner would bring a lot to the show in this case. I've got a gift certificate for B&N and I might use it to get the tape. Thanks for the suggestion!

Nitroflex at home

Image
I mentioned a few days ago that I'd purchased off of Craig's List an exercise machine. A Nitroflex, to be more specific, for the grand sum of $75. The boxes you see to the left were bought by the seller as discontinued merchandise over a year ago and stored in his back yard storage shed. You might be able to see some of the bugs and such that had made their homes on these boxes. I left them out on my deck for a few days before opening them to allow the insects to leave gracefully or die in the sun. The picture to the left is the pieces from the box, unboxed, and up in one of my upstairs bedrooms. For the most part it wasn't difficult to move it around though two pieces were heavy and a number of them were kinda long and bulky to be wandering about the house with. Surprisingly, this kit didn't require any extra tools. There were two allen keys and one combo wrench included in the boxes and that was all it took to put it together. The whole thing only took about half an h...

ankle update

S ince a few people object to seeing my feet --poor misdirected souls--I have the two pictures below hidden behind links. Behold them at your own risk! *evil laugh* Actually they're not scary though the first one is a little colorful. T he first picture shows my ankle and foot from the side, as labeled. You can see a lot of general edema of the entire foot. There's also a good bit of discoloration of the ankle area and to a lesser degree the top of the foot all the way down to the toes. The side view is a lot worse in this regard than the top view. T he second picture shows the two feet from the top so you can compare the somewhat normal looking right foot to the injured left foot. There's not much abnormal color on this view but you can see the "sausage like" swelling of the left foot. It's this swelling that is causing my main problem--I can't get the foot into my boots and I need the boots to support the ankle. Damn Catch-22. Side view, looking inward ...

Ostrich poop found here

Image
I took these pictures last Fall while visiting the NC Zoo. On the left you can see what appears to be a nice polite ostrich just wandering around. This impression soon turns out to be false when her dowdy tail feathers raise up and reveal a puckered anus. Ewwww! If you look carefully, you can see that she's made a deposit on the ground. More ewwww! Feel free to click on the image to make them bigger. Details can make all the difference in these shots. In other matters, aren't those really bony legs they have? And couldn't they have a little more color?
