I fell off my new bike last night around nine in the pee emm. It's not my bike's fault, and I still love her loads. Unfortunately, all of my weight landed forcefully on my previously fractured foot, and I then peeled over it to fall into the river*.

I have broken it again. Much worse this time. I have two fractures, fourth and fifth metatarsals, for those who care. I went to Emergency this morning and was "fitted" with an ill-fitting air cast (that causes me tremendous amounts of pain), given crutches and sent home with instructions to stay off it and stay home for a week.

I have abandoned the air cast due to the pain it causes, and am navigating the downstairs using the crutches and some swearing.

Tomorrow, I will call my physio and my family doctor, and hopefully someone will be able to rectify the air cast situation.

But I am already bored to tears, and I still have 6.5 days of forced rest to go.

boo.



*Okay, I exaggerate for effect: I didn't fall into the river, though I would have if I had been a foot closer to it.

I'm sorry, I don't usually do this, but I'm feeling weird and I need to write about it.

It's very self-absorbed, so feel free to ignore it.

Montreal and back tomorrow, with a birthday party/engagement party with family at the other end.

Sunday is TheWife's birthday party. I have booked Breathless for the evening, and we are having a few of our favourite local perverts over to celebrate.

Monday I have Second-Language Evaluation testing for the feds, for job-related stuff. This is my last hurdle before being placed in two (!) pools at Statistics Canada for real, communications-type jobs. That pay well.

Oh, and I work half the day. And it's TheWife's actual birthday.

Tuesday is a regular nine-to-fiver.

Wednesday I have an interview at Citizenship and Immigration Canada for an admin job. At 8 in the morning. With testing. Then I work a full day. Then I have rehearsal till 10.

Thursday is the same, but without the added stress of the job interview at sparrow-fart.

Friday: Rinse, lather, repeat, but throw a concert in at the end of the day.

I am going to DIE.

That is all.

I'm not going to post more about this, but the message is clear and simple.

It's okay to be black, or of mixed race, or another flavour of POC, in the US. You can be anything you want, even president.

(Assuming you are rich and not queer)

It's not okay to be queer. If you're into same-sex bits, you can't adopt, get married, or strive to be anything but what you are, which is a freak.

Queers are freaks. They cannot have anything resembling the 2.4 kids, the white picket fence and the dog (though I believe they CAN get a cat and call it Fido in some states).

Freaks must be freaks, even if they want to not be freaks. If they didn't look like freaks, we might not be able to spot them coming a mile off and hide our children.

That is all.

*waves her red and white flag*

Now, who's coming to our FUCKING WEDDING in April, motherfucker?

Just so y'all know..

Tomorrow is the last day to send early-bird registration for Harvest. Also, we're almost full up on volunteers.

I swear to g-d, this is a headline lifted directly from AOL this afternoon:

Star's Son Passes Away at Age 20
Mom Found Him Unresponsive in Bed

I snorted for about half an hour.

Some of you are going to faint. I can even guess which ones...

I just met my colleague's eldest son, who works as a production assistant on... wait for it.... Supernatural.

Yeah, he knows the boys.

Feel free to faint now.

Proposals still being considered

While the deadline to submit proposals has passed, we still have room for a few more presentations. If you have an idea you’d like to pitch, don’t be shy! Fill out the proposal form at www.unholyharvest.ca and send it to us at unholyharvest@yahoo.ca. We’ll be processing presenter applications as they come in, so the sooner you send it on, the better! We’re particularly hoping to encourage people from the Maritimes, the Prairies and BC to attend and present, so if you know anyone who might fit the bill, please encourage them to check out the Harvest website!
Your friendly co-coordinatrixes

Mwah

Salut les amis!

Dealines for Harvest are fast approaching: If you are interested in presenting or facilitating and have an idea for a workshop, or if you want to come on scholarship, the deadline for both is tomorrow at midnight.

Check out www.unholyharvest.ca for details!

I need some feedback here, folks.

I have two hotels in Ottawa who have offered me "special" group rates for Harvest-goers. The rates are about the same, but one is for a hotel that is 1/2 mile away from the venues for a room that sleeps two, and the other is for a hotel 1 mile away for a room that sleeps four.

Would y'all rather be closer to the venue but pay more, or farther away and saving a considerable whack of cash?

Let me know!

I just took a full-length "General Competency Test" on the Federal website. I am sitting one of these on Saturday in my marathon testing session.

Ì did it in 43 minutes. They give you 90.

I got 96%.

I bought www.unholyharvest.ca!

No, don't go look yet; there's nothing up there. I'll let you know.

I'm just excited.

Harvest is brewing once more....

Something silly for the Friday before the long weekend (for those of you in Ontario, anyway!).
