Last night after the San Francisco Street Art party, some dear friends made me dinner (mmm, it was delishus). But when the dinner began I managed to cut myself rather badly opening a bottle of wine. I think I’m actually going to lose part of my left thumbprint permanently and it’s a glorious shade of blue under and around the bandage. I’m not squeamish or anything, but I am getting pretty goddamned depressed that I am having a really, really hard time, almost can’t do the one thing that makes me feel like I can breathe. I can’t write — very well. This post is actually taking a long time. My whole fucking hand hurts every time I hit a key. Never mind that I can’t do dishes or get in and out of my jeans. It’s like someone removed my command key and space bar and replaced it with pain whose delivery system is the other four fingers on my hand. I think to write, then feel like a goldfish staring at its bowl from the outside straining for my own version of oxygen.
After it happened I went to NOPA and line cook gave me bandages and strawberry sorbet, and the staff cheered me up a lot. (Oh, and don’t miss our very funny, raunchy food-lovin’ podcast from friday night!)
But today is all lonely stupid OW. So, that’s my tuesday. I’m going to go dig up some painkillers and clean my wound, then watch some internet TV. Maybe The Dark Knight (for the third time; you know it really speaks volumes to me that I love that film so much and my ex-bf hated it). And you? How about some sex? Let’s put a smile on that face…

There is a feature called sticky keys on Windows, which is probably called something elso on MacOS X. Essentially, it allows you to type one handed – and doesn’t have a lot of overhead once you have gotten used to it.
This may help with the “OW” factor at least.
I would be willing to help you put your pants _on_ – but only if my wife says it’s OK.
:-)
Heal quickly, Violet! I’ve had several severe cuts, the worst was slicing off part of my finger tip. It changed my fingerprint, but after a decade, it wasn’t smooth anymore. Just note that you’ll be easier to identify if you run around committing crimes ;)
And you’re right – I bet MANY more people would happily offer to take your pants off. I wouldn’t mind putting them on, if I could do the former first.
Violet, tried to track you down at Books Inc. yesterday, but must have missed you. Once upon a time you posted a picture of my book cover CONTAGIOUS on Flickr with the cutline “WANT!” Brought you an autographed copy since Books Inc. is five blocks away (Saw your Tweet about the street art book). Well, I give up. Wanted to get you a copy to say “thanks” for leading the way in podcasting and opening the doors for all of us, but now I’m beyond simple thanks and into stalker land. All done. If you want the book, email me, I’d be happy to get it to you.
something tells me fewer will offer to help me *put on* my pants.
I’m sure if you asked there would a whole group of happy people willing to help you put your pants on and other things ;)
the skins ability to regenerate fingerprints it pretty remarkable. i once severely burned the full length of the underside of my index finger on a soldering iron, by accident. After the blistering healed, it had no fingerprint – completely smooth, but within a few weeks the print was completely back.
