Accesories.

Remember how I’ve been on crutches for six weeks because I sprained my ankle? Well, I was doing much better, and then…  I sprained it again.  Now I have a big black walking boot that goes up to my knee and makes a lovely accessory for 97 degree Manhattan weather.

It looks a bit like this:

No, that’s not my leg.  But thanks for asking.

nerdy flower.

Where’s Spoon?

When I wake up this morning, I realize the kitten is missing.

In the past, she has been under the couch.

Was she under the couch?  No.

She has been on the top shelf of the closet.

Was she on the top shelf of the closet?  Nope, not there.

In the cabinet?

The stove?

The freezer?

Nah, No, Nope.

At this point, we begin to worry.  But we laugh at ourselves.  How could the kitten have gotten out of our 11th floor apartment?

Several hours later, we have torn apart the laundry, searched through all three closets, and even checked the bathtub more than once.

We decide to make signs.  They feature a picture of our kitten, and say, “Have you seen me?” As well as our phone numbers and “please call.”  We are still laughing, but less now.  Where could she be hiding?

An hour later, we get a call.  She is outside, hiding below an air conditioner!

Now, I ask you, did she:

A) jump out the 11th floor window, and somehow turn out just fine?  (The air conditioner was exactly 11 stories below our open kitchen window)

or

B) Get out our apartment door, make it on to the elevator, get off at the Lobby and get past two double doors without anyone noticing?

Since our kitten does not speak any English, we may never know.

Vomiting

For reasons too embarrassing to mention, I’ve been googling love advice columns.  Ok, I’m a little obsessed with them recently, and wonder often, who is reading them.  Of course, the answer is me.  In one advice column, I found the following quote:

Think before you open your mouth. It’s a bit difficult to suck those stupid words back in, kind of like throwing up on someone. It’s hard to undo it.

This is such a simple concept, and yet, it is something  with which I often struggle, and which I certainly know my significant other struggles.  In fact, it doesn’t just apply to love.  There are plenty of public figures who have had significant public vomits recently.  I won’t mention them here, so they don’t get embarrassed.

So, I urge you all, to please, for the love of Pete, stop vomiting all over each other.  And me.  Thanks.

nerdy puppies.

Ok, there isn’t anything particularly nerdy about these dogs, but they are incredibly cute and it looks like it says “nerd” on her sweatshirt, right?

Oh, I mean, um, er…

Don’t worry, I already looked it up, it’s a company that makes these:

Nice.

nerdy worm.

popemobile.

Let’s just say you have a sprained ankle.

And let’s just say the pope is visiting your town.

And let’s just say because of said sprained ankle, you have to take the bus everywhere but since the pope is is here so all the roads are blocked off so it takes you three fucking hours to get to class while he rides around in his stupid fucking popemobile!!!

Would you be mad?

nerdy, sweater-wearing k9.

Nerd on crutches.

Last night I “severely sprained”  my ankle.  This, of course, “severely” sucks.  It’s a pain in the ass.  And the ankle.  But at least with the crutches, soon I will have arms like this:

Damn!  I hope I look that good when I’m nearing 50.  (girl is fierce)

herstory?

Caution:  This post implies the possible existance of a binary gender system.  While wordnerd believes “woman” and “man”  are not the only option, wordnerd is using this oportunity to celebrate all the beautiful/strong/sexy/crazy/amazing people who are also “women.”

Happy Vagina Month!

I mean, um, er, happy boobies month!

I mean happy childbirth month?

Meh,

Happy Women’s History month!

 In honor, here are some womyn who have made or are making herstory:

Wangari Maathai

Ok, I totally know I mentioned her last month, but she’s awesome.

Hillary Clinton 

No matter how you vote, the girl is forging a path for lots of ladies in the future.

 

Leslie Feinberg

Yes, I know I chose someone incredibly outside of the binary.  However, Leslie in an incredible transgender activist who was born with a vagina

Nancy Pelosi 

First woman Speaker of the House.

  

Kate Bornstein

Yes, another person who does not subscribe to the binary.  But an amazing writer, whose new book is fabulous and someone who purchased a vagina.

Note:  How do you think Nancy Pelosi feels about being sandwiched in between 2 trans folk?  Well she is from San Francisco…

Well there it is.  A hugely incomplete list.  A sprinkling.  A ridiculous idea.

Love,

wordnerd.
