^^^World's Most Patient Cat.

KITTY KITTY

i am bored too. i have the day off, which should be great, but i am restless! simultaneously lazy! i want jordan to come home early and entertain me.

The cat looks like she seconds away from making her escape.

RR, I'm with you. I just want to do something, but not the something I should be doing.

START PLAYING WOW

I love how Dan vastly overestimates my computer skillz. I have barely mastered how to play Bejeweled!

There's an add-on that lets you play Bejeweled while you're on one of the long flights from one city to another.

You're scaring me, Dan.

omg you are fucking kidding me. link.

jessie monster is ALIVE!!!!

I am looking forward to a quiet night of watching a movie and going to bed early and continuing to not study.

Fundraiser was great, btw; wish I had tons of money to bid on the cool stuff.

i saw the WORST broadway play tonight. ugh. can not get it out of my system!

i just returned from pre-wedding drinks at an irish bar where people were dancing to 'sweet home alabama' and 'come on eileen'

also, 'bust a move' was played but no one danced

hello saturday! i slept for 10 hours woah! need about 20 more and i'll be in ship shape!

watching this ep of frontline about atwater and all the dirty tactics used to crush dukakis in 88, including responses from dukakis! it's fascinating how much he admits that his campaign was just not on top of responding to negative ads/attacks, etc. what a shame. also lots of footage of young w stumping for dad - CREEPY!

"he was not a dirty trickster, he was a... brilliant...strategist. they had to kill the messenger because they couldn't kill the message."

fascinating!

Is that the "Boogie Man" thing I failed to watch on Tuesday night? I have that in my Netflix queue along with everything else ever filmed.

sara, if you're still awake i need some medical advice:

jordan had a crash while mountainbiking today, and seems to have sprained his wrist (it took the brunt of the landing). it's not swollen, there's no apparent bruising, but it's hurting like hell from the base of thumb right round his wrist. he's able to move it, but with pain. there's no tingling or numbness in his fingers. we iced it, applied arnica gel, and he's taken some advil. he tried strapping it but that only seemed to make it hurt more.

is there anything else we should do?

in other news: jordan found a bar in alameda called 'the new zealander'. we will visit next week and see if i can score some free beverages with my accent and passport.

Elevate and Ice seems like a good idea to me.

Sorry RR, I was dead asleep last night. Ed is right; RICE = Rest, Ice, Compress, Elevate. Are you sure he might not have a fracture somewhere? If it doesn't get better over the next few days you might want to head in for an x-ray, just in case, too.

sara, what does it mean when things swell but do not turn black and blue? this has happened to me several times and i always thought it meant the injury was less severe and did not need to be treated, but that may be me being dumb...

you got erection?

ew.

true

okay, thanks for the LOLs you guys. (final test tomorrow - impending DISASTER, so I need the ROFLs)

More seriously - maybe you just don't bruise easily, tza? Not everyone does. (OTOH, I get bruises and can't imagine where they came from - huge bruises sometimes! I blame this on having clown white skin and absurd genes.)

uh well, in the event of a force hitting me, i bruise quite easily. i am thinking more about times when i have twisted ankles and they end up quite large, but not black and blue. i also have super white skin!

Huh - well, I don't know - I just think that's kind of individual; obviously, though, if you have previous experience with injuries not being so bad and then you get bruising with everything else, that could be worse. (Shorter answer: yeah, I dunno! - but pain and swelling are pretty clear signs of inflammation and should be respected with rest/ice/compression/elevation - and don't forget to consult an actual professional if you are really worried; I'm just a student nurse. And hey, I'll probably fail my final tomorrow and be forced into dispensing homey advice as a bartender soon...)

you can be the staff nurse at my center for experimental/multidisciplinary performance with an emphasis on creating cool new stagins for vocal chamber music!

*stagings.

I will provide plenty of water for tired vocal cords and remind everyone to sleep at least 8 hours a night.

sometimes there are more serious injuries, too.

isn't caffeine contraindicated for singers anyway?! *boggle*

I still have a bunch left to review tonight, and am ready to set fire to my notes.

i heard somewhere that the hydrating properties of all the water in coffee are greater than the dehydrating properties of the amount of caffeine in a cup, so it is ok in moderation.

i mean, espresso shots might be a different deal...

thanks for the med advice everyone - his wrist is feeling better today and he's been keeping it wrapped.

Glad it's better!

I think I read somewhere that there is actually less caffeine in espresso than in regular coffee, but I could be hallucinating that. I don't know if it's hydration that vocalists are worrying about or just more caffeine isn't so great to be bypassing the larynx at all, but what do I know; I wanted to be a dancer, not a singer. (And caffeine was my second best friend in high school and college, come to think of it.)

no i think that is true about espresso, but there is also a LOT less water. i think the major concern is that it will be drying to the larynx/throat/system.

yeah caffeine is a diuretic; even decaf coffee makes me need to pee more (I know this is TMI, but it's late and all I did today was study)

Going to bed now so that I can spend most of tomorrow studying. Rah!

RR, did you find that the US state department require a photograph that is no produceable by a photo-me booth for your visa, this is giving me grief at the moment.
