ouch
ok, so I did something insanely stupid. Coming down the steps at the middle school, the lights were off, it was dark (after 5:30) and I thought I was all the way down, guess what there was still one more step to go. My ankle is now 3x the normal size and a nice shade of purple. needless to say I will not be very mobile the next few days.

of good food and Stephenson
first of all to the good food - felt like cooking tonight and made chicken sauted in a little olive oli, balsamic, basil and honey.. with cous cous and salad.. most yummy!
secondly I love Quicksilver.. read another bunch of pages while I was at the gym tonight. I think thats going to become pleasure book reading time, otherwise it will never get finished. Heres an exerpt I particularly loved:
"'But she wants us to draw abeam of her, does she not-that is the entire point of being a pirate-so perhaps she has thrown out drogues, and that is why she wallows along so pitiably.'
'she doesn't need to throw out drogues because of her appaulling Zog.'
'There it is again-what, I ask, is the meaning of that word?'
'Her wake, look at her wake!' Dappa says, waving his arm angrily.
'Yes-now that we are so, er, unsettlingly close, I can see that her wake's enough to capsize a whaleboat'
'Those damned pirates have loaded so many cannon aboard, she rides far too low in the water, and so she's got a great ugly Zog.'
'Is this meant to reassure me?'
'its meant to answer your question.'
'Zog is Dutch for 'wake' then?'
'Dappa the linguist smiles yes. Half his teeth are white, the others made of gold. 'And a much better word it is, because it comes from zuigen which means 'to suck'.'
'I dont follow.'
'Any seaman will tell you that a ship's wake sucks on her stern, holding her back-the bigger the wake, the greater the suck, and the slower the progress. That schooner, Doctor Waterhouse, sucks.'"
