blamebramptonI have hurt my right arm. I had some Bowen therapy (a therapy that has wacky beliefs underlying it, but which seems to work nonetheless, like accupuncture) this afternoon, which has helped a bit, but not a lot. I have 10,000 words that were meant to be written tomorrow, and which are all in my head, but I can only type with my left hand. AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGH!
I should take this as a sign to visit friends instead, but am sticking to my original plan and will instead be writing veeeeeeeeeerrrrrrry sloooooooowly.
In the meantime, minimal typing, so even though I will probably read your post, I'll probably not comment. Would you be so kind as to please choose the correct response from the following list:
* Yay!!
* Oh, I'm so sorry.
* Well said!
* OMG!
* Is that Tom Felton?
* That's because you're smarter than them.
* A paste of bicarbonate of soda.
* I find cats to be the best answer.
* Good manners are never out of fashion.
* It's not as though it's real cricket.
* Skandar!

Date: 2009-09-15 12:00 pm (UTC)Apart from the obvious Get well soon! to you, cats are the best answer for most things, among them, but not exclusively:
a mouse, an upset stomach, too little time, a sad face, a dog, a burglar, many unsorted stacks of paper, a teacup you don't like, rude answers, a nice neighbour, dirty dishes, boredom, silly people, crazy phone calls, ...
:-D

Date: 2009-09-15 12:05 pm (UTC)I once carried a cranky hat through a house where I thought I could hear someone breaking in. My theory was I would distract the burglar with my bath-fresh nudity, then assault him with a well-thrown cat while I found a better weapon. Turned out to be a fallen-down tree ;-)

*massages your wrist to make it better* I have no idea if it would work, sorry =/ I'd type for you while you babbled it all at me, if I were there! Sorry I'm not.
*cuddles!*

Date: 2009-09-15 12:40 pm (UTC)I haven't actually made a post, so I'm not entitled to a response, but I'll take "That's because you're smarter than them", because I find it an eternally comforting maxim, and "It's not as though it's real cricket". Thanks!

Hope your arm gets well soon. It'll be like a vacation.

Date: 2009-09-15 02:46 pm (UTC)Brammers' answer is, 'It's not as though it's real cricket'.
Date: 2009-09-15 04:22 pm (UTC)Also w/r/t un- or sur-real cricket, see my latest post. (And the answer involving Broad S is NOT, 'Is that Tom Felton?')
W/r/t the arm, 'Oh, I'm so sorry': best wishes and may you have a medically implausible swift recovery.

Date: 2009-09-15 05:28 pm (UTC)As to getting the story written--would it be easier to do one-handed editing? You could use voice recognition software to "type" it, and then clean up the text to say what you said and now what the program heard...

Date: 2009-09-16 02:11 am (UTC)I was about to email you to ask "can you kill oxalis without resorting to poison?", so I'm now tossing up whether to get a cat or smear the plant with bicarb of soda, or possibly the correct answer is "Oh, I'm so sorry, your garden is doomed, the only thing you can do is dig it all up, burn it, and take the ashes a long way away".
Too late.
