extreme loafing

nothing makes you feel more old at 25 than really beginning to notice which chairs at work and home are shorter, and thus harder to get up from. blargh.
new ortho said i tore my joint capsule. that sounds hot. i get to feel guilt-free about watching tv for the next 6 weeks while i follow my Rx of 'taking it easy.'

in a similar vein, i got my REI dividend in the mail today, packaged alluringly in a brochure covered with scenes from arctic kayaking, scaling giant redwoods, cycling atop volcanic fixtures, etc...and i thought to myself, whenever i buy something from REI it's always clothes, on clearance, which i then wear in a suburban setting so that i *look* like a weekend warrior. i never buy ice axes, cramp-ons, harnesses, snowboards, spelunking goggles, or freeze dried nutrients for those 8 months in the wilderness. i buy 20 dollar fleece vests that i retire when they are full of holes from proximal flicking of cigarettes at nightclubs, not as they disentegrate against my rippling muscles, soaked with the juices of sheer physical exertion. i'm a yuppie.

and my dividend was $0 anyway, so i can't even purchase anymore poseur gear to wear while i watch extreme sports and nature specials on tv for the next 6 weeks.
