Tomorrow A New Day

I practically dismembered a finger a few days ago while washing dishes! Too aggressive with the drinking glasses, apparently, and my keyboard mastery has been rather compromised ever since.

Okay, dismemberment may be a slight exaggeration, but it did slice from fingertip to base knuckle, and I'll tell you what, evidently phalanges are quite vascular. Who knew? I went through half a roll of paper towels before I was able to finally staunch the flow.

Thank God certain activities can still be one-handedly executed, lest I'd be really grumpy by now.

Anyway. Whatever, I'm back in business tomorrow. Have much on my mind, though ... now I'll have to pick and choose my rant. Multiple choice isn't always so easy. Until mañana, just know I'm still alive albeit handicapped. I've removed the Band-Aids for the final time tonight, so total flexibility should hopefully be restored soon. It'll be nice to have both hands functional again, for so many reasons.

Oh yeah, and I'll explain why the hell this song, too. See ya.

    Glad finger still is. My mom cut her finger w/aggressive washing, my 18yr old brother pssed out t the sight of her blood squirting to the yellow kitchen ceiling and our German Shephard passed out TOO! I, 10yrs old, had to call the EMS. LOL

    Be careful! And stay away from dull knives. That's been the bane of my existence, having cut myself while bagel slicing.

I Think

I think I'm bored blogging. I think I'm done with it. I think what's the point? I think you should check out my blogroll instead. I think they say stuff better anyway.

Betty White "needs to start taking her relationship with God serious." Seriously?

I was one of those grassroots Facebook campaigners responsible for Betty White hosting Saturday Night Live the other night, so for that, let me just say: "You're very welcome!" I thought she was fantastic, better even than I had expected she might be, and by most accounts her coming on the show was a huge success. Except for some, who apparently had more eternal concerns weighing on their minds, precluding enjoying it so much. Like Jose, who while conceding that Betty White is legend "in this day and age of rebels and rockers" (I really don't know what that means, but it seems to be a good thing), is more concerned about her afterlife appearance instead, presumably being so old as she is. A legend, sure ... "However, I think Betty really needs to start taking her relationship with God serious. Betty can't please this new generation, she has nothing to prove to them. Her relationship with the Lord is what she needs to take serious." Well, all...

It Could Happen

I was digging deep again, as I do every year or so, into my box of keepsakes and relics that I really don't know why I kept them but did. Stuff I wrote as a kid (some of that, I must say, rather disturbing), old letters of the real life mailed sort, newspaper clippings of miscellany, that have strangely yellowed and gotten brittle already and that shit just ain't right since it seems not so long ago ... whatever, I'm getting old. From the Kansas City Kansan , newspaper that we got delivered daily, Friday, July 25, 1975, I had cut out and kept this one particular article headlined "Youngster completes first novel." I was always writing as a kid, so I remember very well snipping this one item, on account of the twelve-years-old youngster was my same age, and I very much wanted my own novel published. Of course I hadn't written it yet, but I figured this proved I could do it, too, kept it for an affirmation thingy. Over the years I've remembered saving that s...
