lunch

lunch today:

















lunch yesterday:

birthday, etc

there will hopefully be pictures eventually to post, if i can finnagle (sp?) them out of bon's camera. the depends party was a smashing success, everyone attended and good sports were to be found around every corner.

i must divulge an embarrassing fact- which i only feel comfortable doing here due to the utterly private nature of the blogosphere- which is that i had a small absorbency problem early in the night, and a rather large absorbency problem later on in the night. and i was the only person to have this kind of problem. and those were the only two times i successfully peed into the correct side of the diaper. and that is all i will say about that.

here is a picture of a diaper that looks pretty similar to what we wore:















and here is a picture of an adult in a diaper:










but the reason i felt like posting just now was really that i was doing some more of this data entry from surveys of nicaraguan elders that i've been doing, which are all very depressing, and someone had written "desuelo" under "do you have any other problems you would like to report?"

and i looked it up, and the literal translation of "desuelo" is:
"i desolate."

and when those words popped up in the google translator, it was sad in a way i can't explain.

i'm sad

8:00am
that i seem to do best on about 10 hours of sleep, like mercedes. which would involve going to bed every night before 10 pm, ha!



















7:00pm
i was looking at this website that shows places with wireless in portland, and allows you to make comments. one person said the following about mojo's coffee den:

Wow! Great Coffee!Posted by isabella r. at 16: 0PM -0 5-, 2005

I LOVE Mojo's coffee, me it remembers to the coffee at the cafe in hometown of mine San Gimignano in Italy (South from Florence). Such charming conversation the older man has behind the counter. My computer running so fast with internet. I have now not had opportunity to attend poetry but I like to soon. In my country we also hate your president George Bush, Mojos is just like my home.

a hoot.

found a funny joke online:

A nun goes to the doctor with an attack of hipo that already lasts a month to him.
- Doctor, I have been having an attack of hipo, for a month, that does not let to me live. I do not sleep, not like, already hurts the body to me of as much involuntary compulsive movement.
- Tiéndase in the stretcher, sister, who I am going to examine says it the doctor.

It examines it and it says to him:
- Sister, you this pregnant woman!

The nun rises and leaves running the consultation with panic face. One hour later the doctor receives a call of the superiora mother of the convent:
- Doctor, what has said You to him to the sister Maria?
- Superiora mother Will see, as she had a fort attacks of hipo, I gave a scare him so that she took off to him and I suppose that will have taken off to him, no? , the doctor says.
- Yes, to the sister Maria hipo has taken off him, but the father Juan has thrown itself of the bell tower.

hoot! hoot! that's a hoot.

actually, wait, i was putting it up because it's a google "translate this page" creation and it sounds funny. of course my favorite part is, "Sister, you this pregnant woman!"
but i just got the joke. ha.
also, i just lost the game. and if you read this later you lose too. oh. except you eastcoasters don't know about the game? or do you? can't quite remember. let me know, i'll clue you in if you don't and you'll be so.... grateful.

oh god no

aerry is a very nice woman at work whose boyfriend is in a very, very bad band.

they are called 'unpopular club.'

their highlighted song is 'justin case'

and their album cover looks like this:










and aerry sent me their music because i told her i was in a band, and she said, "tell me what you think!"

what to say? what to say?

"i hate them."

"the fall"

so this looks similar to my x-ray, except that in mine the broken off part is more underneath the main part. also the main part is longer and the broken off part shorter.






this is a baby that broke his/her clavicle too!













this is someone's drawing of my broken clavicle.

and this is someone's drawing of my shoulder separation (my theory is that my shoulder has "unseparated" now because the pain lessened so much, so dramatically, and also because my shoulder stopped looking so grossly sunken.)


this is the weirdest of all. i didn't see anyone around at the time (not surprising, since i was flying through the air at break-clavicle speed) but someone was there and they got a picture of my fall.
