Go away, low hanging cloud

Two wonderful links from [livejournal.com profile] sabrina_il:

A new Jackie Chan movie that looks like it could fall into the Oh My Fucking God Shit Yes category.

Hey, atheists! Here's a great idea of whom to hire to speak at your funeral.

Yesterday afternoon, after the disastrous Dance Church, I managed to bang up my knee pretty bad. I was slipping off my shoes at the bottom of the steps and as I stepped out of the left one, I lost my balance and fucking whammed my right knee into the corner of the staircase wall with the force of a wrecking ball.

I couldn't breathe for about five seconds. Then I thought I was going to throw up. Then I realized I needed to sit the fuck down right then so thank goodness for the staircase being at hand (of course the staircase was why I was taking off my shoes in the first place). By the time I got my ass on the stairs, the shock had passed and I was getting the first waves of real pain. I managed to babble something incoherent up to [livejournal.com profile] mckitterick who was working in his office. After some gasping and groaning, he helped me crawl/limp up the stairs. He tried to distract me with photos from the vintage motorcycle show he was at that morning. That didn't really help, so I made him take me out to lunch.

Eat this, it will make you feel better. Or at least put some food in you so you can take a mega-dose of ibuprofen.

I'm not sure how long this is going to take to heal. It feels surprisingly good today, but the bruises haven't quite shown up yet. Maybe I'll get lucky, but I think it's a good thing I already canceled my performance at a birthday party later this month. Pthhppt.

Gorgeous, isn't it?

I always did find that sort of thing much more comforting than any actual description of a more traditional "afterlife."

For real. I used to be unable to comprehend there not being an afterlife. Now, it's the opposite.

Use the oil on your knee too. Repeatedly! Hope it gets better soon.

Will do!

I hope your knee heals very quickly.

I love the idea of having a physicist speak at my funeral.

[identity profile] clevermanka.livejournal.com 2012-02-06 04:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks, me too! On both counts...

That movie looks lovely! And of course, historical Chinese martial-arts movie... well, WIN.

I would love to have a physicist speak at my funeral!

Poor knee.

I doubt it'll come to a local theater, but if it does, that might be one to shell out $$ for to see on a big screen.

Yup! Or, y'know, buy the instant it's available.

Sympathetic ouch ouch ouch. Hope it gets better soon!

[identity profile] clevermanka.livejournal.com 2012-02-06 04:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you! It only hurts when bend it at more than 45 degrees, so I think I might come out of this better than I thought.

Oh that hurts, hope you get away with as little pain as possible.

[identity profile] clevermanka.livejournal.com 2012-02-06 04:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Me, too!

So sorry about the knee. Sending you tons of healing vibes. Gay ones! And gays gotta dance. So these are good vibes! *G*

This comment and the icon made me happier than you can know.

Oh yes -- hurts badly enough to want to throw up is definitely a 10. Hope it heals well.

I'm a ten!

The physicist link brought me more comfort than any of the religious bullshit I've had babbled at me since my brother's death. Saturday was the one year anniversary of his funeral.

Thank you.

You're welcome. That's a sad but beautiful thing to hear. I'm glad I could help you today.

I'm hoping the physicist speaking at my funeral is Jim, because if he goes before me I WILL NOT LIKE IT.
