we rejoice because the hurting is so painless

location . home, foot elevated
temp . 51
humidity . 72%
conditions . pain, with rain on the way

no, that is not a prosthetic monster cankle.

i managed to break my ankle and get mangled by an escalator all at once! this happened saturday, while i was sprinting down the escalator stairs at full speed (several at a time). i'm the smartest person in the world. 15 minutes later, when the next train arrived, i was still laying on the floor waiting for an ambulance in a puddle of blood (i wish i were exaggerating for effect here, but i'm not). at least michael was with me (and a friend of his - i successfully prevented them from going to a bachelor party on saturday night). 4.5 hours later i was leaving the emergency room with stitches and a temporary cast. today i visited an orthopedic surgeon, and tomorrow i'm having surgery. drama.

interpol . slow hands

trin... i really, truly hope that the surgery helps and that the pain goes away as soon as possible. just know that you're in my thoughts... on a lighter note, i do agree with murrye: your toenails are nice and pedicured-looking and lovely and stuff...
