Second day of bed rest. This is way worse than when I was bedridden in the hospital. Where’s my buzzer?

Restaurants
The worst thing about being paraplegic is not being able to get your knees under the ridiculous tables at trendy fucking restaurants.
…and the not being able to walk thing.
I don’t think a naked body is particularly shocking or interesting… It’s not the...

Why do people who work in gyms turn orange?
They can’t be burying Teddy already. Isn’t he supposed to stew for a couple of months like MJ?

TV Remote
The worst thing about being paraplegic is having to watch Pulp Sport because I can’t reach the remote.
…and the not being able to walk thing.

Dear Apple,
I’m not retarded. I can handle different uses of similar icons. I’m offended that you think I’m a moron.
Beervana
Congratulations to Emmerson’s for winning the 2009 Champion Brewery Award.
Update: Emerson’s is one of my favourite breweries and it is brilliant that they have been recognised so I was more than happy to link this up but the Brewers Guild Beervana website is a steaming pile of shit. Amongst other problems the page with the press release is missing.
One of the reasons (the main reason) I want my own house is so I can have a cat again. I miss having a cat.
FlickrExport is really starting to annoy me. Any alternate Aperture exporters?

Miserable Shit
The worst thing about being paraplegic is all the other shit that makes life a misery doesn’t go away.
…and the not being able to walk thing.
Brownley is surprised at the reaction to mining in National Parks. Is he really that stupid?
What’s an immune system for anyway?

Marco.org's Official Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard...
marco:
I’ve been using the betas on my home desktop since WWDC. Most things work, and I occasionally notice something that’s different. If you replaced Snow Leopard with Leopard, I probably wouldn’t notice for at least a day. (Replace Leopard with Tiger and I’d notice within seconds.)
When I use my laptop or my work desktop, both still running Leopard, I don’t miss any Snow Leopard features.

Dear iPhone, why the fuck do you need to sync when I turn tethering on?

Life saver just said one of the dangers of his job is sunken fisher men. Hate it when they reach up and grab your ankles.

Hey Cadbury, just admit you fucked up and want to fix it. We’ll all have way more respect for you.

I feel like cake
My gadgets tend to work and not break.
marco:
A lot of people seem to have constant issues with their phones, computers, printers, hard drives, and other technology breaking or failing.
None of my technology ever breaks at the rate that I see from other people.
Even though it’s a bit presumptuous, my best guess is that I just treat my electronics better than most people.
Part of it is my background. I didn’t grow up in a rich...
My boys refer to their teacher by her first name. Unheard of in my day.

My life has become a play in two parts; before The Accident and after The Accident.
I am now defined by The Accident.
