I've crippled myself

[filthgoblin]

Seriously. I hurt from the ribs downwards. I am walking with a very pronounced limp. I am finding it very difficult to ascend and descend stairs and, without wishing to give you mental pictures you don't need, I'm finding getting on the loo to pee harder than I did after knee surgery. If this is how shit I am at exercise, I'm not sure I want any part of it. What a fucking mess.

In other news, I had my inaugural trip to the Hay Literary Festival tonight. I don't know what I was expecting, but what I got was triple-distilled middle classes in a tiny field. I know that I really am middle class, but that didn't feel like me at all.

The reason for going, though, was to see Dylan Moran. He was excellent, very funny and so good with the crowd. My favourite line of the night was "I love it when she says 'I know what you're thinking'. Of course she knows what I'm thinking. Everyone knows what I'm thinking. I want to be face-down in a cushion, with my mouth full of chocolate, and something lovely happening to my lower half..."

Amen to that, Dylan :D

I don't know who Dylan Moran is, but that quote is hilarious. I'm glad you're sore from exercise - I thought at first you'd had a mishap or illness.

Oops. I didn't mean to frighten anyone or over-play things. But seriously, I am still struggling to walk and getting into and out of my office chair is proving challenging.

Dylan Moran is a comedian and actor. He was doing stand-up last night, but you might have seen him in the TV series Black Books where he plays Bernard Black. He was also in Shaun Of The Dead if you've seen that. He also made me howl at his talk of the prostate exam being the male version of the PAP Smear, saying he didn't believe the prostate actually existed and rather it had been invented to ensure men suffered similar humiliation at the doctor's surgery to women. He then went into a routine of assuming "the position", waiting until "contact has been established", then starting to sing Strangers In The Night. Made me giggle muchly :D

AH! I lol'd so hard when he said that when we saw him. Classic line that everyone can relate to XD Love him!

Sad to hear about your injury...I really hope you're gonna be ok! :)
