A GAMMY LEG

i took a bit of a tumble at work last friday. a stool broke underneath me, and i went clattering to the floor. my knee has been buggered since then. it's getting better - last saturday i could barely bend my leg, and was in intense agony, but i found the whole situation extremely hilarious. i sat on by bed, trying to put on a sock, and howling alternatively in agony and with amusement. however, by sunday i was over it all. i've had x-rays and check ups and i'm on anti-inflammatories, and it is getting better, but it still gets tender and sore by the end of the day - especially as i'm standing up all day at work.

in other news, this time next month, we'll be in london!

and finally, album of the month: rogue's gallery (various artists), an album that is much better than we have any right to expect it to be. folky, punky pirate ballads, performed by, amongst others, lou reed, bono, sting, bryan ferry, nick cave, several carthys, a wainwright or two, and the whole project was executive produced by johnny depp and gore verbinski, who just wanted to listen to some sea shanties. and also, some of it is a bit rude, which is always a good thing.
