3:43 pm	Here's my orthopedist's formal diagnosis http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iliotibial_band_syndrome A muscle in my hip, attached to a tendon that wraps around the back of my leg and aligns my kneecap, is inflamed and filled with scar tissue where Devon clubbed it with a skateboard in January. Interestingly, my physical therapist advised that I not wear a knee brace, saying a knee brace would actually hold my kneecap out of alignment. (Comment on this)

1:29 am	Started PT for my leg yesterday. Was shown two exercises to start with. One is fine and a good stretch for my injured tendon, but the other is a good stretch for my injured tendon that aggravates my neck and shoulder injury, causing me to feel lightheaded. Oh, my body, you are terrible and I wish you were a robot. (Comment on this)

2:06 pm	Writer's Block: Superpower me If you could give one friend a superpower, which friend would you choose, and what power would you give him or her? First question listed was submitted by bluemeringue. (Follow-up questions, if any, may have been added by LiveJournal.) View 702 Answers I'd give xamses the power to read minds. It'd be good for his self-esteem, alleviate occasional social anxiety, and help with interviews. Also, he'd get rich and then give me some of his money because I gave him the power to read minds. Actually, if he could read minds, he probably wouldn't go to any job interviews; he'd just read minds all day. Probably become world poker champion or something. (2 Comments |Comment on this)

1:14 pm	On Married with Children On Married with Children: It is the first sitcom divorced from the Christian-value preachiness of its forerunners, and the predecessor of Family Guy in a way that The Simpsons is not; and, being a live-action show as opposed to an animation, it has a verisimilitude that the aforementioned lack. It's a show that mocks ideals, for an audience of adults who've had to make compromises and sacrifices. It is a show about dis-empowered people doing rotten things to claim small victories. You might not have gotten it as a kid. I didn't get it as a kid either, but as an adult it just clicks and it is beautiful. I highly recommend giving it another shot. (9 Comments |Comment on this)

2:31 am	Rochester Show Dec 4th Oh hey. I'm playing a full band show in Rochester, with my guitarist from New Mexico and my drummer (who'll be playing Gameboy this night) from Cincinnati, on December 4th, at Rudicon. Full one-hour set, with my good friend Josh "Zen Albatross" Kopstein opening for us. People who've been asking when I'll play upstate NY for the past five years, the answer is now and probably not again for five more years. http://www.rit.edu/sg/rwag/rudicon/index.html (3 Comments |Comment on this)

3:18 pm	Writer's Block: How old is too old? Are you ever too old to go trick-or-treating? Is candy for everyone? View 1023 Answers 20, unless you're really short, don't speak during the act, and wear a costume that disguises your age, in which case, dear midget, you should trick-or-treat forever. I had a kind of false dawn at 14, when I decided I was too old to go Tick-or-Treating, but when I turned 15, I had the revelation that I should really milk this thing for all it's worth. Finally stopped at 20 for good, which is, of course, the age I will say everyone should stop from here on out. (Comment on this)

3:28 am	The Most Sensationalist Political Ad I Have Ever Seen also one of the most bat-shit. Stick with it. You'll be horrified. Shit is Orwellian to the next level. I want to give Texas to the people who made this ad and then let them secede from the union. The Young Turks provide perspective: (4 Comments |Comment on this)
