I am sooooooooooooooo behind on everything.

Even before I broke my ankle, my transaction bank decided to be totally bizarre and tell me that I couldn’t post any of the updates I had planned for GothicSluts.com due to new rules which have more to do with people who try to sell access to beheading videos and nothing to do with what I create.

Hired an outside designer to work on a bunch of stuff and ended up having to can him. He seemed like a really cool guy too, so it was a disappointment that he just couldn’t do the work and couldn’t follow the most basic directions. It made us late with two sites though and I feel pretty cranky about it. Forrest picked up the slack on one, but he already had his own bunch of projects. It is so hard to figure out what designer will be good for what job.

My ankle and the giant medical appliance on it are driving me fucking nuts. There is not one single position I can get in which feels okay because the appliance is really heavy and large and I injured my back and other leg when I fell and my arms are not enjoying doing pull-up duty for all locomotion.

Yes, I am taking the opportunity of being in journal land to complain and here is a cartoon about the journal phenomenon. At least, what ails me has variety :-p

So I’ve been thinking about how much lamer the web seems to be getting in some of the areas I am most interested. There are so few really cool sites any more. It seemed a few years back like everyone was working on an awesome site idea. Now the web is littered with fake search engines and cannot find servers where once there were sites. This really bums me out. So I am going to do something about it.

Do you have an idea for a site you would like to do, but you don’t have the dough for hosting or the knowhow to get it going? If so, contact submit@blueblood.net with your proposal or private message AmeliaG at http://www.blueblood.net/. Please provide info on what you would like to do, why you are qualified to do it, and what you will need to do it.

I will accept both sites which are going concerns in need of hosting and new concepts in need of nurturing. I may be willing to purchase an existing site, if I feel it serves the community. I may in rare instances be able to pay writers to do work for hire on a particularly useful idea.

I am just really sick of going to URLs where sites in the scene used to be, only to find a fake search engine in their place. And I am going to do something about it.

So turns out I broke my ankle yesterday. Just got back from getting it set at the doctor. Still hurts 🙁 The appliance on my leg makes me look like a really uncool version of something from Beyond Thunderdome.

I was really looking forward to going to The Brotherhood’s party in San Diego tomorrow http:/www.freaksnightout.com/ but I just have standard crutches now and I’m not sure I’ll be able to get around enough. Need to decide asap so I can coordinate with my posse.

Should I still go to San Diego? I know the event will be cool and it will be fun to see Scar. And I can eat drunken shrimp.

I have internet again. Apparently my old modem just gave out.

I fell on my ankle again today though. Sitting here with ice on it. It was almost better I thought, but today it did the same thing while I was just walking down the street. It just gave out, stopped responding to the messages my brain was sending it, and I fell. At least this time my ankle twisted more forward so my achilles tendon is fine. The torn tendon thing was really terrifying as that can cost upwards of $20k to attempt to repair and you can still end up a cripple.

Feeling queasy from the painkiller. Ordered food which will hopefully be here soon.

Waiting on a couple thousand scans which were supposed to be done more than a week ago. I called Tuesday to ask for status and was kind of told they hadn’t started yet, but they would give me whatever they had done next Tuesday. It is a friend and they give me a good price break, so I’m not going to be too impatient, but I kind of paid for stuff early so it sucks. And, if they were done, it would allow me to take it easy on some of my current work.

Did a bunch of fall cleaning this morning and bought organizational stuff yesterday and got rid of tons of junk and was feeling mighty pleased. Hey, and I don’t have to endure platitudes about at least you have your health. Bonus for me!

If you are one of the six or seven people who have not seen any of Jon Stewart’s appearance on Crossfire, you should click here now.

I think it is most entertaining that Jon Stewart is actually becoming an important voice in American politics. His lead-in show right now might be puppets making crank phone calls, but I think he will eventually run for office. And win.

I must however admit that I find Tucker Carlson disturbingly hot. Like he just really needs someone to have an elegant refined quiet dinner with him and then tie him to the bedposts and make him howl. But maybe that is just me.

The weird back pain I was getting in the mornings seems to have decided to hurt a lot more and become an all day affair. I feel like hell. Swollen and achey in way too many places. My skin is really aggravated. My brain is foggy. Not just my ankle but a bunch of my joints are popping and painful. I probably should have gotten the MRI, but they are so expensive. The weird waves in some of my fingernails are becoming more pronounced. My breasts are tender like it is my time of the month, but it isn’t. I just want to crawl out of my skin.

I wish someone could just give me a regimen of eat this, drink this, take this, and excersize this in the following quantities and it will all be fine. I can handle self-discipline. Okay, if my body is producing antibodies to wheat, I can handle avoiding that, but I can’t handle the seemingly endless parade of conflicting don’ts with no actual getting to feel good and healthy at the end of the tunnel.

I can’t stand never knowing when I will have a good day and I don’t think I can take having a whole lot more unadressable symptoms.

r_ness‘s fault I took this quiz

Which Nigerian spammer are You?

A friend of mine shoots for Bookworm Bitches and about a zillion other sites. She is a busy girl, but today she just sent me pix of me and Forrest she took in the SUV Limo we took in Arizona in April on our way to the dinner thrown by the nice people who do Tranny Trouble and other sites. And we look like we are on our way some place nice too. Oh wait, we were.
