I was riding home to meet the window guy so he could measure all the windows. I crossed the Cayuga intersection and then a door was open in front of me. I think I tried to swerve some, but I hit it and went down. I think I hit my left side first and then bounced to my right side since both my hips are bruised and the left side has more damage, scraped ankle and leg and a scraped and bruised elbow.

The right side I have a hole in my jeans and a scrape on my palm and a blood blister on my thumb. Also a spot scrape/bruise in the back of my right calf.

I didn’t hit my head at all and luckily I was across the street from the fire department so the paramedics were on scene right away. They didn’t find any evidence of internal injury or my spine. They gave me some adhesive bandages and checked my blood pressure which was normal, but a little high for me.

The CHP showed up and wrote up the accident with her at fault and took photos of everything.

My scooter is pretty munched up: torn seat, most of the plastic cracked or broken off, missing a mirror, the storage pucket is no longer mounted, but the core is still good and ridable.

Thanks to the cigarette store guy whoe picked up a lot of the pieces and taped on the ones that wouldn’t stay in place. He also gave me some more adhesive bandages.

Oh yeah. One pair of singing magnets are gone now. I saw one of them but didn’t see the second one and then forgot to get the one I saw before I left.

 

I saw Rent this weekend. I wasn’t super interested but I liked the song in the trailer so I went. I liked it all, the look, the characters, the music. The songs weren’t catchy enough so that they were constantly in my head afterwards, but that’s ok. The problem I had with it was I was never made to care about the characters so it ended up remaining at the entertaining level instead of going to the amazing level.

Since I’m talking about theatre-ish stuff, Nicole and I saw “Romance” by David Mamet for our anniversary. My dad was sick so my parents gave us their tickets. It was a short comedy about 75 minutes not including the intermission. The second act was fantastic, pretty much non-stop laughter. The first half popped the clutch on the starting line and was in danger of stalling. It started with rapid fire dialog without any context so it took awhile to catch up and it never really fully hit.

And not related to anything, here’s a song of the day.

 

There’s been a few more days of work and the results have more plants and a fountain!

A little more destruction and some joke doorsin the kitchen and .

 

Yesterday they finished destroying the bathroom including the ceiling. You can see the lame duct work they had for the bathroom fan. It’s supposed to be a short straight run, not a 25 foot (7.62 meters for any non-English unit people) run of flexible vent tube.

They also did more kitchen destruction. Opening up walls, removing the soffits, and smoe exploratory surgery on the room thrown in. I could see the contractor thinking about how he was going to work with all the weird things in the kitchen construction. Like that opening in to the ceiling, the bottom of that has the 2x4s not lined up with a 1.5inch (3.8cm) difference between them.
