Hey there. Just wanted to mention that last night at a projectionist gig I managed to get my index and ring fingers on my right hand jammed in a take-up reel that was still spinning under the power of an electric motor that I had just shut off. Yes, it hurts. ;) Yes, it's taking me about 3 times as long to type as it usually does. Yes, it suuuuuuucks.
:)
So, if my blogging slows down, that's what's up. My right middle finger is swollen and is about 10-20% larger than my left middle finger. Too bad Bush isn't in town--I could flip him a bird that much more huge!!
Hopefully my faithful fellow-authors will swoop in and fill some space for me while I'm letting my two favorite (and most used) fingers heal. I'm sure I'll be back up to full speed by the weekend at the latest. My fingers already feel better than they did last night.
Put some ice on that, Pete!
ReplyDeleteAlso check out my LJ-- I namedropped you in the latest entry. =)
Thanks for the name droppage, Jen! I'm glad you were able to convert an MST ep!
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah, I put ice on it last night. But it's hard to type with one hand, so ice for ThePete today. Still, it's feeling better than I would have expected it to feel as swollen as it is. It's still stings like a bitch though.
Man, don't ever jam your fingers in a spinning take-up reel--it's just no fun!!
I mean, sure there's the adrenaline rush, but it's just not worth it!
PEOPLE! JUST SAY NO TO FINGER JAMMING!!
Kids these days!!
But I thought you were accustomed to typing with one hand, Pete! ;-) OH SNAP!
ReplyDeleteYou know me well, Jen!
ReplyDeleteWait! How do you know me that well???
Well, when it comes to guys, that's usually a pretty safe bet... ;)
