Ho ho ho

For a while I thought that my leg hurting more was placebo, or at least just mental localization making it seem more obvious, but I'm a little concerned because it's starting to move into the territory where I don't feel comfortable driving because of the discomfort and difficulty in controlling it. I smoke pot (under doctor's advice) to stop the pain but I don't drive obviously if I have, and I wouldn't drive on other painkillers either…

Meh, I probably drive too much anyway!

That reminds me though, I've had a couple funny “car encounters” in the last few days. First I (along with Phil and Roo) got run off the road by a oncoming pickup truck that decided they had more right to our lane of traffic than us, so we had to hop up onto the sidewalk to avoid a collision. I laughed a little because he pulled the “my truck is bigger and cheaper, I dare you to hit me” game of chicken, which I think I've probably done in the truck.

Then I was driving down the street and an oncoming car literally turned straight into my lane and started driving right at me (basically they were turning without bothering to check oncoming traffic). I slammed on the breaks, and a moment later so did they. It was a little old lady driving, so I just put up my hands in a “don't stress it” gesture and she laughed and that was that.

Then today I pull out of a parking lot and drive to the end of the street where there's an intersection with lights… Strangely though, people were ignoring the lights completely — cars were strewn about, motionless at random angles as if a tornado had tossed them around. It was really weird. So I sort of snaked my way through them and went on my way.

Other than that, I've been doing so much stuff lately that I can't really write about here until after Christmas anyway because I can't be sure who reads this blog. I'm off now to do that some more. BME update will probably get posted later tonight or in the morning (more likely morning because it's huge), and then another one next week, and then other than maybe some articles/interviews, we're good until 2007!

FINALLY: TODAY (UP UNTIL MIDNIGHT) IS THE LAST DAY TO GET IMAGES SUBMITTED FOR THE 2006 AWARDS. ALL IMAGES UP UNTIL MIDNIGHT WILL BE INCLUDED, ALL IMAGES THAT COME IN AFTER THAT WILL GO INTO NEXT YEAR'S AWARDS.

Wow Shannon, that's really annoying! What is it, 1997 on Geocities? Retroweb is NOT cool!
