I think I was tortured in my sleep. It looks and feels like something sharp was jammed beneath my thumbnail. There was even blood, and when I went to bed, it was fine. Ouchies!
Yesterday, I recommenced my lapsed workout regimen, and am I ever feeling it now. Ouchies, redux. I made a few changes to my approach. I do tricep dips on a bosu ball (round side down), which works me a lot more than doing it just on a bench. I'll have to try some of these exercises. And I do all my arm exercises while supporting myself on an exercise ball.
And since both of my feet have been injured for pretty much the entire summer, I appear to have lost a lot of ankle strength. That's why I'm doing squats on another balance trainer thingermabob (it's like a teetery platform), and holding horse stance, straightening my legs out to stand in a star position, then going back down into horse, all in relevé.
Hopefully, these exercises will do the trick and my ankles will once again be stalwart joints of steel. My bad foot has been getting better and better by the day, but as of yesterday, my other ankle has started hurting in a similar way. Gah.
Oh, and for those of you who'd like to see![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
angramainyu's photos of me in a more "formal" context, here are a few galleries: (Still NSFW) August 1, 2006, August 5, 2006, and September 7, 2006.
And now for some links.
I want these panties.
Nurse, 51, kills intruder with bare hands: My favourite part: "You didn't need to calm her. She's an emergency room nurse. She's used to dealing with crisis."
Arrest threat over police gnome: "I'm not having the police telling me what type of garden gnome I can have in my garden."
Can a python bite off more than it can chew? Ewe bet: Worst headline pun in ages.
Explosives a go for prairie dogs: Farmers are filling the ground with propane to blow up prairie dogs. "'It's very depressing that they would go to this length just to have another way to wage war on wildlife,' said Judy Enderle of the Prairie Preservation Alliance. 'This is a milestone. It's disgusting.'"
Cruising With the Whore Cop: Very interesting story about truckstop crack whores and their "guardian angels."
Giant Palouse Earthworm: 3 feet long, and it spits. ... God, my mind is filthy.
Tito's Stick Dance: This is the guy I'll be studying tahtiib with next month.
Mrs. World 2006: What a debacle.
Oh, yes. Remember that story I posted about the anarchist artists designing prison cells for torture? Well, it's probably not so very factual. In fact, it seems to be good, old-fashioned disinformational propaganda.

Is your union taking care of you? ;)

Canada seems to be filled with scads of semi-effective
unions relative to the at-will US. Every time I've been
in a Canadian city (visiting or living), someone has been
striking: off the top of my head, I can remember teachers,
college employees, boiler operators, film projectionists,
postal workers (that really fucked my credit card payments
to the US!), bus drivers, and garbage crews (during Pride
Week/Jazz Festival/Synthpop Goes the World).
Sounds like you need to stop using the icy heat, and
apply a little more sole-caning. Then just sit back,
relax, and...wait six months for EI to deny you again!
