AAAAARRRGH!

[blamebrampton]

I 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!

I find cats to be the best answer.

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

You're the right answer, too!

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 ;-)

I had the same idea about throwing a cat when I wrote the bit about the burglar. :-D

I had to buy it salmon the next day ;-)

Money well spent! :-)

I remember that. We still tell the story of you running after the burgler with "the bit of fallen tree". I never did find out what the neighbours thought.

Oh no, that was a different occasion, in which there were ACTUAL burglars. Still miffed with myself for stopping to put on clothes before I went seeking bloody retribution for the sin of waking me from my nap ;-)

Though I may well have used a cat then, too, now that I come to think of it?

BTW, while I have you, next Wednesday? 11-ish? Rhodes?

[tinofbeans.livejournal.com]

Yes.

Forgot to ask where you would prefer to meet?

CAT! not hat. Damn you left hand ...

[catsintheattic.livejournal.com]

Though the idea of a cranky hat is completely hilarious! *g*

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

I am sure enchanted_jae must own one ...

[catsintheattic.livejournal.com]

Pictures, please!

Or the story behind enchanted_jae's cranky hat ...

I will ask her which one it is, she has so many!

Really? Hats are so cool!

I never manage to wear one, because it's too much fuss, but I really like the look.
