The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Great colors in the Vilankulos pic.

What's the story behind the dhow caption?

Yeah, I'm with you on that Cashmere.

Aw man, then there is this [link] one.

And [link] which is much better printed.

Thus ends walk down memory lane.

Getting on the dhow for the slowest boat ride of my life, I slipped and fell and gave myself a HUGE ugly scrape and bruise [link] on the outside of my thigh. It left a dent that you can detect to this day, though it has gotten a lot less noticeable. (it's been 4 years. )

It looks a lot less worse there than it was. It was nuts. I joked it looked like an apparition of the virgin mary, because it was shaped a lot like icons.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I've got a dark, ugly, nasty bruise like that on my leg right now. I knew it was bruised, but I hadn't looked at it. I just caught a glimpse of it in the mirror last night and it freaked me out. Most of my bruises don't show up much.

Ouch.

The worst bruise I've ever seen was a mardi gras injury that my roommate had. Things they didn't tell you: spilled king cake and wood stairs = hazardous.

My mother once had a bruise that covered the entire back of her thigh and was navy/black/purple. Ugggh. Waterskiing mishap.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

(it's been 4 years. )

NO. Really?? Good lord.

I had annoying transit things BOTH WAYS tonight. Over an hour, each way. It's a 35 minute trip.

Annoying discovery: You know how, a lot of the time, the generic product is the same as the brand-name, except for packaging and advertising? This not true of Febreeze.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Me too. It was physical therapy.

My worst bruise was, unsurprisingly, the one that spread slowly from mid-shin down to my toes and got infect and required three different sorts of antibiotics before it returned to the same temperature as the rest of my body. Swelling hasn't gone down entirely yet, and it's been at least a year and a half.
