if you are a writer, illustrator, and overall button-pusher (like me), and you spend some 10 hours a day typing (like me), then breaking your hand is rather inconvenient.

but the fact of the matter is that in a moment of peculiar and peurile frustration i punched a hard wall harder than i meant to. a friend pointed out that the wall didn't even punch me first. and it was then, a week after this embarrassing event, that the absurdity and silliness of it hit me. back. again.

this is the single most embarrassing thing i can remember ever doing. when people ask for the details i've tried to avoid, i've said "i fell in the paris metro".. and i meant it in a spiritual sort of way.

but i feel like i've been lying and now it's becoming humorous and just stupid and anyway i suppose we all have embarrassing moments and this makes them worth sharing.

what's worse is that i didn't even throw a straight punch; i guess i'll never make it as a board-bashing Bruce Lee.

the last week has been inconvenient.
i have three more weeks of penance to pay.

please don't write to me about this. it's bad enough as it is.
