How lonesome the Wind must feel Nights —
When people have put out the Lights
And everything that has an Inn
Closes the shutter and goes in —

// Layout meta

Layout inspired by, and featuring, a poem by Emily Dickinson. The full text of the poem can be found on Wikisource.
I created the image used in this layout myself. Some elements (the house, tree and moon) come from stock images; the rest were created from scratch. The font used is called Enchanted Prairie Dog.
The same layout is also used on my domain, mostly because I wanted to focus more on making things work than putting together two separate pretty layouts instead of one.

Ow damn my hand (contd.)
( Posted at 09:35 AM § 0 comments § Filed under: Annoyances, Life )

Opposable thumbs are such a wonderful thing.

I wish I was able to use mine without pulling off my bandage (bad) or pulling on my wound and making it hurt like hell (worse).

*sigh*

I hate feeling helpless.

Wait, what?

Robert Downey Jr. as Sherlock Holmes and Jude Law as Dr. Watson?

This has the potential to be either seriously awesome, or completely ridiculous. Here's hoping it's the former.

(On the other hand, if I see one more person complain that Watson can't be played by Jude Law because Watson "isn't fit" I'm going to strangle something, I swear. Read the books, goddamnit, people.)

Ow damn my hand
( Posted at 10:01 PM § 1 comments § Filed under: Annoyances, Life, Stupidity )

Note to self: saying "it sure would be nice to get some kind of non-life-threatening injury, like a sprained ankle or something, to be able to stay home from work for a bit" out loud is dangerous.

Because some evil god will be listening in.

In the specific, I was washing dishes this morning and a glass broke apart while I was washing it. Cut a pretty big gash in the back of my hand, right over the thumb. Hurts like hell, wouldn't stop bleeding, had to actually go to the emergency room.

And end result, yeah, I can't really work with my hand bandaged up like this, as I can't really move my thumb... can't really cook either, or type very well, or wash more dishes, or button up my jacket without the wound hurting, etc, etc.

I got lucky, it could've been vastly worse, but... grrr.

Now to research how to get bloodstains off a carpet...
