"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

OK, odd and somewhat embarassing hive-mind question: Anyone every strain a muscle in their ass?

Something I did yesterday (getting in or out of my car; taking an akward turn walking) put this huge, painful knot in my left butt/hip all of a sudden. It feels like when I've wrenched my back in the past, but it's my butt, not my back. I don't think it's the hip, becuase it feels like it's the muscle (glute, maybe?) that's knotted.

It's making walking, standing and sitting quite a disconcerting experience.

Patricia Neal and Roald Dahl were married?

Yeah, he was married to her at the time she had her stroke - I remember a TV movie about with Dirk Bogarde as Dahl (can't remember who played Paticia), and he basically badgered her back to health.

Then he ended up leaving her for another woman some time later, if I remember correctly.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I've done that, Frank. I can't remember if I had muscle relaxants to take or if I just waited it out, but I do remember it hurt pretty much in any position and doing anything until it was gone.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Ibuprofen is helping a little, but it's mainly just really stiff and akward, with occasional sharp bursts of pain if I end up just so.

Definitely not as bad as a bruised/broken tail bone though - that's just awful pain you have to wait out. As my brother's doctor told him when he did that, "We can't put your ass in a sling."

Glenda Jackson.

Right - I knew it was someone famous (I was thinking Vanessa Redgrave for some reason, though, which I was pretty sure was wrong).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hey, have you all seen that ad where the white neighbors pick which of the "diverse" families get a house? Not going to air, due to being illegal.

Interesting.

Heh. I love it. I also love that the one "normal" (white christian republican) family had a mom who's a stripper.

I just had to sit and hold the freakin' hand of the web guy while he formatted a page for me. For half an hour. You'd think if I told him what the formatting rules were (examples from 5 style guides, MLA, APA, etc.)and gave him text of how exactly the spacing should appear on the screen, he could implement it, no? Well, as it turned out, no. And he talked to himself continously. Gah.
