    Welllll, the cast comes off his afternoon and we see what's been cooking inside it for the past 3 weeks or so. frown The main options are:

    - It's healed well and we move on to getting a brace on it and re-teaching me how to walk with 1-1/5 feet.  This is the best-case option.

    - It hasn't healed enough, but it has improved so instead of a cast I get a splint for a few weeks.  This is flat-out annoying but possible as diabetics heal slowly.

    - It hasn't healed enough and will get a new cast for another 3 weeks.  Blech if this happens, not super-likely but possible.

    -  It's rotted mostly away into a bony stump surrounded by slowly pulsating gelatinous necrotic flesh that would make a zombie puke.  This is a trip back to the hospital and likely the lower portion of the leg/ankle will have to go.  This would suck about as bad as anything I can imagine, but since I show no signs of things having gone seriously wrong this is worst-case and highly unlikely. surprise

    The cast is semi-permeable so since there's no smell or seeping things can't be that bad.  And let me tell you, there's nothing more alarming than the doc saying "If it smells like rotting meat or starts seeping anything, call an ambulance and get into the E.R."! surprise

    Might take pics to add to my blog if nothing looks too gross.  We'll see.. for now, tons more coffee!  The ankle hurt yesterday so I went home and took a pain pill, damn, slept like the dead and am barely awake.  I hate pain pills, they mess me up, but.. beats hurting..

    Did I mention I still hate my job? angryangry

    Don't know if I can retain my sanity without killing someone/something, it's boring as heck.. if I can just get the foot fixed before I up and quit..

     

    ...I was in that situation for years.  Not so much the job though as all the workplace politik along with the epic three bus commute each way each day.

    I actually really liked what I did, just not the atmosphere I worked in for the crappy wage I received..

    Well, worst-case is I decide to tough it out for the 3-4 months it'll take to do the job right, use the job to save up a nice cushion for a job search and upgrade all my techso I can compose music and write with professional tools, then I bail.  If the environment here sucked I'd have turned in my notice on Monday... frown

    not many ice cream truck in skyrim.  looks yummi

    shoula looked if Prometheus was free on amazon prime, oh well, trial over
    and Priscilla, heard it was the Australian version of Rocky Horror

    Priscilla, Queen of the Desert?  One of my all-time favorite movies.

    "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" also a dear movie to me.  Saw it just after I'd made a decision to visit Australia for a month.  I didn't climb the Olgas in a gown but I was there and in Alice Springs and I thought of the movie several times.   Weird to realize that one of the gay troupe was the bad guy in "The Matrix".

     

     

    Agent Smith?

    haven't watched it yet.  i heard people made it like a Rocky Horror cult movie,  ad libbing and dressing up.

    Guy Pierce was the Mandarin in ironman3.

    Yes, Hugo Weaving/Agent Smith.  Image below is Hugo Weaving as "Mitzi del Bra".

    And if you'd want to dress up I can't think of a more suggestive movie than "Priscilla QOTD", just dig out your make-up case and raid a fabric shop and go to it!

     

    This movie made me and my daughter want to be drag queens.  We want to share in the makeup/dressup fun.

    That's a taste of reality, kid. Get used to it...

     

    the Mythbusters did a thing, they took candy from a baby.

    Did you see their final episode?

    Dana

     

    didnt catch it.  saw the one they were behind the 747 gettin blown away, literally  lol

    We just watched it over the weekend.  There were actually two hours.  The first hour was their very last episode...and they blew stuff up...big!!!  Their largest explosion ever.  And they got better high speed filming, too.  20,000 fps rather than 10,000 fps.  You could actually see the shock wave expanding, like a bubble.  The second hour was a reunion of all five cast members, and they reminisced and discussed their favorite myths, and a few special guests were on video feed wishing them a happy goodbye...including President Obama!

    Careful.  You're en employee now, not a contractor.  These days off because it's cold might be held against you at some point.

    And now for something completely different:

    I just finished listening to symphonies 1 through 9 by Anton Bruckner.  I'd had #5 in my collection before but never really listened to it.  A few days ago I poked around in YouTube and got sidetracked into listening to his Symphony #1 and was captured.

    Yes, Bruckner like Mahler is longwinded and most of his symphonies are well over an hour long but I've discovered that there are two ways you can listen to Bruckner.  First of all don't be in a hurry or impatient.  Then you have your choice of laying back, closing your eyes and LISTENING to the themes and modes merge, evolve and play in your brain.  Or you can put the music on at low volume and get on with your life but watch out for the snatches that grab your attention and drag you into the music and distract you from something important like chopping vegetables with wild abandon.  And unlike Mahler it's all pretty music not orchestral braggadocio.

    There wasn't one of the 9 symphonies that didn't sound interesting right from the get-go.  Most of them start like a tiny sound in the dark that grows slowly then suddenly jumps right in your face then just as quickly leaves you alone in the dark straining to hear where the music went.  Throughout the piece there is a lot of repetition but repetition of multiple themes that recur in different modes and moods.

    ...Beethoven's Emperor Concerto is around 45 min long, quite the workout for the soloist.

    Messiaen's Turangalîla-Symphonie is 1 hour 19 min though broken into ten movements so it doesn't seem that long.

    Try Bruckner's Motets. Ecce Sacardos Magnus is a favourite.

    28F this morning.  my bones are aching fiercely.

    haz a theory, loosing bone mass can change a person's center of gravity?

    i'm leaning sideways. at home i use pillows to prop myself up in my command chair, can't do that at dayjob.

     

    The Earth is gradually tipping over. Something to do with melting ice caps apparently. I read it in an article last week (the 1/4/16 issue of Scientific Penguin). We need to ship about a billion tonnes of lead ingots to the Arctic (or a dozen gold ingots to my house would yield the same result), before the lost mass causes everyone to fall off. See, it's like a big cantilever . . .

    Try putting it to sleep and walking away for 4 hours.  Shutting down down doesn't seem to always do it for me.  Sleeping for several hours does.
