If you really want to hurt your parents, and you don't have the nerve to be a homosexual, the least you can do is go into the arts. But do not use semicolons. They are transvestite hermaphrodites, standing for absolutely nothing. All they do is show you've been to college.

I might have fucking ruined my knee. We'll see: I have today and tomorrow off and intend to spend as little time on the stairs or walking as possible, let's see if the rest helps.

What happened, for the curious: there is this bridge around here I have to cross to get home from the bus stop. Someone removed one of the planks for the stairs down to ground level. My foot went through to the (mercifully close by) concrete with tension for a much shorter, smaller step down on my other knee. Immediate crippling pain, followed by a long walk home and trip up two flights of stairs. Right below my knee cap feels like a knife made of dry ice is lodged in it, and every slight movement of the knee is grinding it against all the bones and tendons.

Also it feels, unaccountably, soaking wet. It may be difficult to believe, but I checked and it is bone dry.

So I might have ruined my knee.

There's over 100 of us in this meat-suit. You'd think it runs like a ship, but it's more like a hundred and ten angry ghosts having an old-school QuakeWorld tournament, three people desperately trying to make sure the gamers don't go hungry or soil themselves, and the Facilities manager weeping in the corner as the garbage piles high.

You might have ruined your knee, but think about the liability claims.

What has your knee ever done for you anyway, that money cannot?

altered

It is really unlikely that someone like me will get a liability payout. Poor, itinerant, trans. Can't see it happen.

Also: money does not bend my leg, which is a necessary part of such tasks as transit, climbing stairs, and shitting. Money does not ease the difficulty of these necessary tasks, unless money can provide magical elevator service, stand-up toilets designed for poo, and transit I can sort of full-body flop into, with around 4 feet of room in front of the seats to accept a fully straightened leg.

While I am aware all of these things can indeed be provided with sufficient money, a tiny Boston suburb will not provide sufficient money.

Correct. And larger than I ever imagined.

I am genuinely baffled. Have they not watched what he's done? Is owning the libs or whatever nonsense is driving them really worth that?


On a lighter note, I'm super pleased to be subbing for the teacher I'm covering for until Thursday. I know literally all his kids very well and they're a fucking delight.

Knee update: no more spasmodic, icy agony so long as I watch my weight when I bend it. It almost works again, stairs are the hellish part.

I got damned lucky. If I hadn't had my hands out my head would have smashed like an egg on the sidewalk. And my knee injury was very temporary (or so it seems). Someone else before or after me may not have been so fortunate. Whoever removed that plank should be rolled under a passing train.

We've moved
Ironically into the second place we've lived together.
Which is the address my drivers license has.

My brother in-law made the acquaintance of the only person in my life to ever make me wish I had a gun just in case he shows up again.

And my brother in-law, who live here previously, kept house in the manner best described as "depressed stoner."
