(no subject)
Ok, mom contacted the mobile operator, and those nasty sms messages have stopped now. That's good.
Also, it was very pleasant to wake up to the sight of first snow. 'twas about time :)
The only thing that made waking up less pleasant was the swelling and pain in my left knee. It's become more tolerable now, but bending the bastard is still rather difficult. Might be Prepatellar Bursitis, but I'm not sure yet.
This is unfair. The belt graduations are less than four weeks away, so I should be working my ass off at the dojo rather than nursing a stupid knee :(
Oh well. Let's hope it goes away as soon as it came.
Oh, and here's something socialized from lupine52
The Animated Movie Meme:
- X what you saw
- O what you haven't finished/saw sizable portions
- Bold what you loved (bold-italic if it's super love)
- Strike-through what you disliked/hated
- Leave unchanged if liked/neutral
This Meme barely scratches the surface of the world of animation but it was fun to fill out
