alive but still broken

capitals and punctuation are low on my priority list so i apologise for those who really appreciate them

got new cast today but all is looking good

will blog infrequently as typing gets old quick and my dissertation takes priority

thanks for the messages one and all

Bother!

So Thursday morning I was cruising, the whole snowboarding thing was starting to click. It was a bluebird day, cold but beautiful skies and all were so happy to be here. Two other friends had arrived Wednesday so all 6 of us met for lunch up on Whistler. Decided to do one more run after lunch and head home to do some work. Long story short: I fell, arm broke. Not a simple break so had to get it fiddled with to get it back to right place and then Dr made a bit of a boo boo and I got lidocaine toxicity. Now I live for my next dose of pain pills and am incapable of doing anything for myself (it was, of course, the right arm).

AAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

One girl went to snow...

Poo after that title I have ‘one man went to mow’ in my head, and it is just not a good song - lucky that quite a few of you probably don’t even know that classic. He went to mow a meadow in case you were interested, with his dog Spot. Anyway I am getting off track.

Well first day of serious snow in my lifetime - wow. I am still alive and that’s the important thing. Hurrah for that. I am looking forward to my lesson tomorrow as hopefully then I can progress to a litle more snowboarding and a little less time on my bum.

Will keep everyone updated.

Excitment

Less than 24 hours from now I shall have left my apartment for colder climes and SNOW, glorious snow. Think I am pretty much packed, although I have the sinking feeling I have forgotten something, but then I often get that feeling when I haven’t so I shall just ignore it the best I can by only allotting it a small amount of brain cells to obsess over what it could be.

Mystery

So I was taking a break from the writing today and was cruising around on the beeb website, how I love the beeb and I found this. Not sure the US people who read this will get it, having never heard one of them exclaim ‘Gordon Bennett’, so sorry you guys don’t speak real english emoticon.

Who was Gordon Bennett? I guess we will never know. I am realising that my appreciation for this article may make me seem a little nerdy. Well guess what - I am a nerd. I like language and science and I am OK with that.

Horror!

I cannot believe that I left meteorites off my ‘things I like beginning with m list’. I did not expect it to encompass everything as I cannot remember all things I like that begin with m in one sitting but that should have been one of them. Thanks to J and her comment for pointing out my glaring omission.

I LIKE METEORITES.. though I am really not bothered if they come from Mars or not.

I also like my mother (and my father, cannot omit him just because it is not an m-word, they come as a pair).

Music - an essential.

Muggins because it is another great word, and one I do not use enough I think.

The microprobe, well we have this love-hate thing going on, but it has undeniable usefulness.

Milk - even though it hates me so I like it.

Well I am sure there are more things that will come to me, probably in the dead of night while I am trying to sleep, only to promptly forget in the morning, but I am now going to have a nice warm bubble bath. Worked out (have been surprisingly good, no cardio but done my snowboard work-ous regularly) and am aching and wish to move tomorrow.

Oooh must not forget to wish everyone a happy new year. May 2007 bring you all the nice things that 2006 failed to, or more of the same if you were lucky and got all you wanted.
