In our on-line class, we have a discussion forum. This is where we can post comments and questions, and interact with our classmates. It’s our “classroom” so to speak. Because we have group projects this term, our instructor created separate, private discussion boards for each group. We can post to each other and none of the other groups can see it, which would be awesome except at this point my group really has nothing worthy to steal.

I figured out pretty early in my high school career that I don’t care for group projects. “Group project” is a different way of saying, “Hey, slackers! You get a free pass for this assignment, because the anal-retentive control freak in your group will do all the work, thereby ensuring you have an easy A! So sit back, relax, and say, ‘Duuuuude, you need me to do anything?!’” Since I’m the anal-retentive control freak who does all the work, group projects aren’t exactly my cup o’ tea.

I think that there is only a finite amount of work a human being can do in one day. After that point has been reached, the brain shuts off. “Nope. Uh uh. Not gonna do it.”

My third visit to the ortho in six days confirms that something is indeed wrong, as I suspected. It’s kinda cool, actually, in a grisly sort of way. Apparently I’m rejecting an internal suture. Cool, huh? Except that now a little bit of infection is starting, so we’re nipping that in the bud. I got to visit Walgreens this morning and walked out with a mini-pharmacy in my shopping bag: antibiotic pills, antibiotic cream, hydrogen peroxide and a heat pack.

Doc prescribes rest for wrist – part of incision not healing properly. Just took me 40 seconds to spell “properly” properly using only my left hand to type. Grrrrrrr.

This is one of the funniest things to come out of SNL in years. I think it’s actually eclipsed the infamous “lockbox-strategery” debate as my favorite SNL politcal parody.

First Birthday

I filled almost three memory cards right before my surgery, thinking I’d get to muck around with the images while I recovered. Turns out I felt like doing pretty much absolutely nothing, so the images didn’t even get dumped to the Mac until today.
