that is how i feel today...
not much in terms of either coherent speech or formulation is to be expected from me today.
i am learning through physical pain, something that i do NOT like, the great functionality and evolutionary genius that is an opposing thumb. i am also learning that it is not a suspicion of mine that i do a lot of things with my left hand, i use it often, be it to open the tap or to unscrew the toothpaste tube cap. status on my left thumb injury: swollen and painful, can not make a punching fist without considerable discomfort. a physician friend told me last night over dinner that if the pain goes away in one week, it is not broken. with that knowledge and the fact that i can sleep rather well anyhow, i know that there is no reason to rush to the hospital. still, i like bitching about it.
my downstairs neighbour was in the laundry room when i went down to check on the laundry that i had left in the machine yesterday, he had dried my clothes and folded them. i told him that one could marry him. he replied that in principle he is available for marriage. this amusing dialogue between a rather gay male and myself led us to a discussion of the merits of allowing the state in one's relationships. i am more of the opinion that one ought to eliminate marriage all-together in favour of a family law that regulates legal issues between blood relatives and accounts for the fact that pairings are more often than not rather fleeting. ah... but i also do not want to go into any detail on this now either.
i need a nap.
