    It's probably a good thing....

    ... that I have some rudimentary sense of taste, and am generally annoyed at alot of stupid things that people post online. Because if not for that vague sense of decorum holding me back, I'd so be blogging a picture of my left butt cheek otherwise.

    You guys should SEE this bruise! I slipped at the top of the stairs yesterday morning and bounced down to the landing, on my backside. Fortunately the pudgy parts took the impact, so I am bruised but not broken. I slipped a bit off-centre which saved my tailbone. The bruise is about the size and colour of a very ripe avocado and feels like I'm sitting on a rolled-up sock in my back pocket. The front of my left leg and hip are achey as I've been sitting funny for 36 hours trying to NOT sit on the bump.

    It's the second-worst, but possibly "deepest" (as in deep in the muscle) bruise I've ever had. The worst, in terms of area covered in bruise, was when I took a soccerball in the thigh, after it had been kicked full-force by a former pro player turned grad student at close range. Though I don't think I had a palpable lump that time.

    I suppose it's about time we do something about the slanted floor board at the top of the stairs. A colleague of mine just explained how it is the result of either stupidity or laziness on behalf of whoever installed our flooring. The question is, can it be fixed without re-installing the whole floor. Ugh.

    I think the *real* question here is "Does it in any way look like a duck?"

    I hope your tushy feels better soon.
