Injuries

Check out what Storming the Wall does to your upper arms. When you're struggling to get up, the marshals keep screaming at you "ELBOWS! ELBOWS!" to get you to make sure you are firmly on the wall. It puts a wee bit of pressure on the upper arms, and I bruise like a damn peach.




Then there is this little injury. See the little gouge right by my part, on my forehead? On Monday I had a small, informal dinner party, and I accidently broke the cork in the first bottle of wine I opened. I thought I could still corkscrew it out, rather than just push it in, so I drilled the corkscrew way down, but then it was so far down that I couldn't use the little lever mechanism, so I just had to pull. And pull I did. So hard that the cork flew out of the bottle, and I smacked myself in the head with the corkscrew. I actually fell on the floor, I was laughing so hard. I guess I just don't know my own strength.
