Hahaha! It worked!

Turns out, getting a decent picture of one's own hands is no mean feat.

T-shirt mail!

My hands may not be what they once were, but I can still trill out some 16th notes. 😉

Oh look, my student loans have been sold AGAIN! YAY!

Lap warmer.

Hey, I figure you're nowhere near central NC, but I've got an old eGo scooter that I bought for commuting to campus, and I'm no longer commuting so it just sits in the shed taking up space. Won't outcompete a modern e-bike, but I'm about to just give it to someone who could use it.

Dishes. Pack up the leftovers. Maybe chill out with a can of Guinness Zero and read some stories or reread Galaxy: The Prettiest Star.

Y'all I slept for a whole eight hours and it was GLORIOUS.

Here's what I just harvested for tonight's dinner

Welp. So much for art camp.

Here's my reference for side to side stretches. This keeps me from twisting or craning my neck in the process. You can see my limited range of motion here.

For rotations, image you head being suspended from above on a string. Keep it as erect as you can through the rotation (turns out it's really hard to get a selfie of this)

"Nodding" stretches are weird. You do not want to fold your neck back. Instead, tuck your chin like you're trying to tuck it behind the top of your sternum. For the up position, stretch your chin up and forward as if you're trying to touch it to the ceiling 45° in front of you.

I do have titanium! My problem was stenosis of the spinal canal, so they did what's called a laminoplasty to open up more space in there. I don't have any fusions or anything like that, but I lost some range of motion.

Just made a big ol' 4-quart bowl of horiatiki salata, with like three pounds of salted tomatoes, an ice-mellowed red onion, an English cucumber, a whole jar of kalamatas, vinegar and oil and oregano, and a couple tablespoons of capers… …oh fuck, those were the brined peppercorns.

Only thing along those lines I've ever had on the street was a yard dog. (okay and maybe the occasional forklift)

I think this may be a record.

My neighbor has an old Civic DX. I would like that car, with its efficiency, simplicity, and reliability, in electric. Is that so much to ask?

This one's four houses up from me. Might be time for me to put another pride flag out.

Six will do the damn thing.

Wasn't drunk.

Go into your photo roll or whatever and post the first image that makes you literally laugh out loud.

Thanks for the tip! But you've overestimated how much I care. They'll be back to full standing in a couple of weeks. Meanwhile, welp…

Note to self: check to see if your partner swapped out the guard *before* you trim your eyebrows.

Honestly gonna be relieved when that guy stops breathing.

I'd love to learn to play the Chapman Stick®, but Stick Enterprises has held such strict control of the design that unlike the guitar, of which there are millions, many of them to be had for free, getting your hands on a Stick® is An Investment. Capitalism fucks art, yet again.

I'm getting a Dr. Strangelove quote here.
