Shocker
Ahhhhhh, Rancid! Back when they were all young and sexy, and before Lars fucking tattooed his forehead like a douche.
Also, yes, I like Rancid along with liking other, more conventionally thought of (and far better respected) punk like The Clash, and Ian Dury, Iggy Pop, The Ramones, The Dickies, Bad Brains, The Addicts, The Vandals...I'll throw in a shocker and admit I can't stand The Sex Pistols, The Misfits, or Henry Rollins though. And for that I have been called all kinds of nasty things by "real punks" since jr. high. Just like being called things by the "purists" who prefer the more traditional sound when I admit I like Rancid.
Fascinating. People are fascinating.

The Ankle Chronicles - post 5 of who the fuck knows
A friend of mine loaned me a wheeled walker she has. I have been resting my knee on the seat on that blanket. It's still totally exhausting to try and get around, but it is not as bad as the crutches. The seat is actually a little high for my knee, I kinda have to stand on the ball of my foot to scoot around, but my armpits are healing at least.
I drove myself to work this morning for the first time since finding out about the new fracture. I was giving the OK to drive short distances if I am very careful by my doctor last Friday. I was scared...it went ok, though there was a small amount of pain afterward. I have stopped taking the pain killers altogether...they were mostly for the pain in my back and I just can't function at work on them. My amazing life partner took me to the chiropractor on Saturday morning and although I am still stiff it helped SO MUCH.
I voiced my worry to Dr. Lee, the chiro, and how I read all kinds of horrible things about this particular fracture and the necrosis that can set in and how if that happens I might not walk again and how scared I was. He told me he has broken so many bones, and he was warned about the necrosis on at least one occasion as well (with a break in one side of his hand) and it never happened, he's fine. He said he knows I will be fine and not to worry. He said to eat well, lots of fruit and vegetables, to take some vitamins and a calcium supplement, drink a few extra glasses of milk and think healing positive thoughts about my ankle. And, that's it. That's all I can do. I have no control over what happens, and so I can't worry about it. I drove in to work talking out loud about how I'm fine and my ankle is healing well and I'll be back to walking in no time.
I am SO exhausted though...just getting through the day is amazingly hard. I have zero energy...I am going to go home and lay down. I have been trying to make green shakes every chance I get so I have lots of fruit and veggies all at once. Just dump it down my throat, but, I may just need to pass out...We'll see, maybe I can do the shake and then pass out.

Things that have piqued my interest since the last time I shared:
DC and Ken Block present Gymkhana FOUR: The Hollywood Megamercial. A MUST watch. This guy drifts his way through Universal Studios!
I like to dress up the cat and laugh at her. ♥
17 Halloween Costumes that are Actually Clever
I have always wanted to do a grayscale costume. "The Grayscale Couple" in this post is really good.

CBGB movie
OH! I hadn't heard about this movie till just now! A highly fictionalized history of CBGB's. Taylor Hawkins is playing Iggy Pop!!
Interesting...looks like it's worth a look. Hopefully it's more on par with "Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll" (which was amazing and I highly recommend it) and less "What We Do is Secret" (which I thought sucked)

Nightmare of You - "I Want To Be Buried In Your Backyard"
I LOVED this song when it came out. I hadn't thought about it in a long time. It still holds up, though not as high...video doesn't do a lot for me, but it's cute.

The Ankle Chronicles - post 4 of who the fuck knows - another update - not a good one
I was told to “push it” and try walking like a normal person. I was in pain still, and the whole ankle was still swelling, but I was told that’s normal with a sprain and to push through. Well, after they FINALLY had me do an MRI and got the results, as it turns out, I have a fractured Talus; the bone on top of my ankle connecting my foot to my leg.
Monday, the 14th I was told this. I was also told
I never should have been walking on it; I should have stayed off it at least 3
month and spent as much time as possible resting. When the doctor left the room
and closed the door I burst into tears.
Today is day 3 back on crutches for at least another month. I
go back again on Nov. 11th for an additional X-ray and an update on
how it’s healing.
I am exhausted. I was already exhausted cause on Sunday I did
some errands and laundry and cleaning. The hilarious part is I was sad on
Monday when I got home from the doctor that I didn’t finish cleaning the
bedroom before I became a gimp again.
I have the same boot on again, but a size small now. The other
one didn’t fit and was very uncomfortable when it stopped inflating properly. I
needed extra padding on the top of the crutches cause my under arms are still
not totally healed from the last run on crutches. They are very chafed and it
burns to use the crutches. So, all I had were 2 of those blue microfiber car detail
cloths and some bandanas. A co-worker complimented the colorful adjustment and
said it looked “very Punky Brewster”. ☺
4 more weeks on crutches people!!
Gah..pain in the ass…
Sugar, Sugar

Lower right corner says:
"Note to Mothers: Exhaustion may be dangerous –
especially to children who haven’t learned to avoid it by pacing
themselves. Exhaustion opens the door a little wider to bugs and
ailments that are always lying in wait. Sugar puts back energy fast –
offsets exhaustion. Synthetic sweeteners put back nothing. Energy is the
first requirement of life. Play safe with your young ones – make sure
they get sugar every day."

Links
So, I'm gonna stop aiming for Friday links, it just doesn't seem to work for me. Fridays always seem to be the busiest for me at work lately, and then the weekend starts...it's hard for me to pre-load the links posts like I do for most of the Saturday Happy Songs because I need to build the links posts. It takes a lot of time and attention, even more so if I am gonna give a blurb about what the links are or what I like about them...And I just haven't been sure if that is worth it in a little while.
So, here is a bug dump of all the things I have liked or found compelling or worth sharing on the internet since the last time I gave you a links dump a couple weeks ago. Enjoy! :) ♥
♥Chinese Factory Workers and the Toys They Make
This was amazing. It is a photo study called 'The Real Toy Story' by German-born photographer Michael Wolf. He did a whole gallery instillation using toys made in China held to the metal walls of the gallery with magnets.
♥Amy Poehler writes a short essay about her job the summer she was 17
This pumpkin:
♥The Starwood: Home of Sex, Drugs and Rock & Roll
I love the punk community...
♥Best Halloween Events In L.A.
Which, through it's amazing header photo that I LOVE of a young girl entering The Bates Motel introduced me to:

♥Malala Yousafzai on The Daily Show:

♥Joni Bakaradze Mummy: Mother Claims To Have Preserved Son's Body For 18 Years Using Alcohol

I was telling a co-worker about popcorners at a work function when she mentioned how much she loves popcorn. They sell them in the vending machines at work so I went to go grab a couple bags. The one pictured is the LAST ONE!!!
God I hope they re-stock...they were on sale at Pavilions, but then they sold out...I got a bag at Vons but then I ate it...I actually thought about keeping this last snack size bag for me, but now that I have admitted how deep this obsession goes I realize I may have a problem.
Snacks, snacks, snackie
Ugh. Been M.I.A. for way too long...so little posting going on...blah. Been busy trying to survive and rest and get the ankle better because not dancing or hiking is driving me bloody fucking CRAZY!!
I have wanted to post from my phone more often (like I am right now!) and tried to Monday night from the train, but, my motion sickness is so bad currently I am not able to. :(
In the meantime, I am walking a bit more and trying not to gain weight by watching the calories. It has only been this week that it has become a challenge. I am snacking a whole lot more. Oops...
I have 2 snacks I have been completely obsessed with though. It kinda getting out of hand...Have you tried Popcorners? Oh my GAWD! I love them. So, so much. My favorite is Kettle. I have not been paid to say this. I am just genuinely obsessed and want to pass on the news of a good snack. Cause, at the end of the day, I fucking love food.
These are just popcorn that is flattened into a chip!! Yum.
