Swelling going down, finger dexterity returning.

No one at home's noticed the bruising yet.

At this rate, I just may be good to go for the game on Sunday!

You should play cricket Ment. You get pads and gloves and a helmet.

I've got terrible hand-eye coordination, and I'm terrible at throwing stuff.

Plus I don't really have a ton of free time to master the arcane rules of that sport.

I'd want to see you play ice hockey

So chess is also no option.

I love chess, and I used to have a CFC rating, back when I played in undergrad. It's listed as one of my interests. And it seems much simpler than cricket

@Nom: I stay away from ice and winter-based sports in general. I'm considered "too violent" for basketball, so hockey wouldn't be a good fit (plus I'm not ever being malicious.... I'm just hopelessly reckless when I get into the game, with no care for the well-being of myself or others).

Have you considered Rugby. It is the mainly version of both Soccer and Football.

Once again, there's the hand-eye required.

Plus, I can't imagine myself actually purposefully inflicting pain on someone. In soccer, it's different, and I get very few calls against myself, because the refs can always see that my eyes are 100% focused on the ball, and no matter how I might hit or trip another player, my intent is always to win the ball (it helps that I never use my arms to try to get people off the ball). I can never bring myself to perform a tactical foul, because I know it's blatantly against the rules.

It's not a mindset that would translate well to rugby, where you need controlled aggression. I'm more of a purposefully reckless type player.

Ment gets hurt on a regular basis playing soccer.

And you think Rugby is a good idea?

He'd be in full traction within a week.

Yes. But he wouldn't complain about being injured in soccer for the entire 6 months. See bonus.

Birthday celebration for my eldest this weekend and most of the presents I got him are legos.

[JPK]

The new Porrltugal. The Man album -Woodstock- came out this morning. It's been 4 years since Evil Friends came out, and this is a very welcome addition to my heavy rotation. I love these guys so damn much.

As an added bonus, the Boo likes them too. I had a very happy 1yo dancing around the living room this morning with me.

Just in time for Funky Fridays. You've been gone a long time. We now dress up every Friday in our funkiest duds to post.

Well considering it's the hottest day of the year by far, I'm posting in my underwear.

[Puck]

In non-mice related news (see messing groove thread), I found not one, but TWO sports bras that fit. It's a revelation.

You'd think that with all the emphasis on people needing exercise 'n stuff, someone would actually manufacture stuff that enables someone outside the normal range to do some exercise. But no, you have to order the stuff from halway around the world (well, the UK in this case) to FIND it. 'Cause sorry, but I'm not doing anything that'll see me bludgeoned to death by my own boobs.

Anyway, I'm happy and looking forward to taking up exercise again

^ I mean, there are certainly worse ways to die than being bludgeoned to death by boobs...

[Puck]

It's kinda humiliating when they're your own, though.
