I dropped a saxophone stand onto my foot this morning and I think I might have broken my little toe. I’ve not broken a bone before, but my foot feels exactly like people who’ve broken bones in their feet have said it feels: a dull pain in the affected area at all times, coupled by sudden, moderate-to-severe pain when pressure is applied. There’s no visible damage on the surface, but it’s giving me a decent limp.

Troma Night tonight could really do with a
DVI-VGA adapter, like the one pictured to the right. I have two of them, somewhere. If you were part of the tidy-up squad and you remember seeing it, or if you have one that

Think Anal Sex Hurts?
Not everybody who reads my blog also reads Jon‘s blog, but people who read my blog might want to take a look at the picture on Jon’s recent entry: Think Anal Sex Hurts? Try Having A Kid!

Scooter can’t help but make me feel good on a morning where I’ve been made to get up earlier than I’d have liked (listen here).
Pagan Wanderer Lu
What a great gig last night. Amazing. Will say more in the morning, but suffice to say that Mr. Wanderer Lu was well on-form (apart from a slight lyrics hiccup in a new song I particularly liked): drew a great crowd too. Now… time for bed.
