OMG I love Emmett. What was he making?

Did you get my email?

Yes, did you get mine?

Those Hunter Tylo pix make baby cry.

OMG I love Emmett. What was he making?

It's some kind of patchwork, almost cube shaped pillow thing that JZ started him on.

In other Emmett news he's (a) quoting Doc Holiday from Tombstone and (b) he's taken up the trumpet.

Yes, did you get mine?

I did not! And I feel very sad about this. Maybe you should resend to my hecubot at gmail address, so that I can get right on the project.

They do. She was just so very beautiful. I understand it is wrongfully difficult to get work when you're an actress who might be over even the tender age of 30. But, making yourself butt-ugly surely isn't going to help. And her boobies scare me. Not as much as her lips. Well, yes, maybe as much as her lips.

Seriously, whoever invented that lip-plumping technology should be taken out back and shot. It's always so sad-looking.

I know what a "continuous passive motion" machine is and they suck. I only had to use one for two weeks with my knee surgery and I started having elaborate fantasies involving pushing it off a building and beating it with a baseball bat. Sadly, it was rented, and I had enough sense of self preservation not to do that, plus the whole not walking all that well thing. In my case, it was a machine that kept bending and straightening my knee. It was boring, boring, boring, even though I was reading about three books a day.

it was a machine that kept bending and straightening my knee.

Exactly. The most embarrassing thing about it is its name: the LEGASUS.

Go ahead and start your mocking, bitches.

The theory behind it is kind of interesting, though. Apparently the same stem cells that start the process of creating cartilage are responsible for creating scar tissue. By keeping the "injured" area in constant motion, you're sending a message to the stem cells to make cartilage instead of scar tissue. Isn't that cool?

I'm also hooked up to a retarded "foot pump" machine that is like inflatable socks you strap on and occasionally they plump up with air and squeeze your foot. I do despise them.

Ack. I had the stupid foot and leg squeezing thing too. I had forgotten. It's all coming back, like one of those war flashbacks. It's supposed to prevent blood clots.

Did you have an ice machine too? I do. It is COLD. And uncomfortable.

Did you have to wear the foot pump thing every time you were lying down? I haven't been.
