Tidbits
Happy Birthday Amber!
I didn't mention in my last post how I fractured my ankle... wait, maybe that's because I don't know how. I wish I did. I've contemplated coming up with a great story... something like I broke it when I fell off a table while dancing in Mexico. That might work. Seriously, the doc says the fracture is consistent with an auto accident injury, but I don't remember having a car accident recently. I honeslty have no explanation, no recolection of what I possibly could've done to fracture my ankle. I know, it sounds wierd. It is wierd. But none-the-less, it's fractured.
I've had the boot for a week now. I've gotten used to it easy enough, but I am beginning to notice when I take it off at night to go to bed, my leg feels weak. Everyone seems to think that is normal, but I was surprised to feel such a difference after only a week. I still have three more to go before my next check-up. Ick... at this rate, I'll probably need physical therapy when the boot goes. Ick.
In other news, we had a lovely, six+-hour long power outage the other night. Apparently the power went out around 4:30 PM and came back on around 10:45. Thankfully, I wasn't home the entire time, but Beth was. She warned me not to come home because it was hot, hot, hot in the house. At least 90 degrees... probably closer to 100 since the temp outside was a little over 100 degrees. I definitely wouldn't have been able to handle that. I don't know how Beth could. I told her she should go to our friends' house where the had power. She wasn't interested for whatever reason. Interestingly, our friends Brad and Kanako literally live a stones throw away from us. They lost power only for about an hour, but we lost it for six. Very wierd. At least the stuff in the fridge made it just fine, in fact, you never would've known the fridge was without power for six hours.
I saw "War of the Worlds" the other day. It was very interesting, especially since I never read the book. I liked the special effects, and the story was ok, so all-in-all, I enjoyed it but it certainly wasn't great. I do think it is worth seeing on the big screen just for the special effects and audio. Both made for a good movie. And who could resist talented little Dakota, anyway? Tom, I could've done without.
Also recently watch "Finding Neverland" on DVD. I loved that movie. I had really wanted to watch it in the theatre, but never made it. To help keep me entertained, I recently checked out "Evita", "Cold Mountain" and "Anchorman" from the library. I've seen the first two, but not Anchorman. Looking forward to watching all three.
