It's really Tuesday.

I'm not sure why that last entry was posted under Sunday. I'm pretty sure it was Monday afternoon. And now it's 2:30 am on Tuesday. Just thought I should do a little chronological orientation here.
So, I was up at 8 on Sunday morning, ran out the door to meet Angelo head for the train station. We ended up getting on the wrong train, going the completely opposite direction of where we were supposed to go. By the time we arrived, the teachers had already finished setting up. So, we did our native English-speaking thing, entertained the kids and whatnot. They dressed me up in a Santa apron and hat to read a story. My highlight was at the end, when everyone was milling around and I looked over to the non-participants seating. A little girl stuck her tongue out at me, and I returned the gesture with my trifold trick (I'll have to upload a pic later, though most of you have seen it, I think.) She was shocked and delighted.
We got the right train heading home. Angelo went off to meet someone, so I rode the rest of the way home alone. Of course, this would be the time for me to fall off.
The factors were three-fold: I only had one hand on the handle bars as I was coughing from exhaust fumes, the grate in the sidewalk shifted unexpectedly, and where there should have been a curb it had crumbled away. I also keen on not running into the car right beside me. So down I go. And before I even hit the ground, I'm thinking, "well, this is just great, I'd better not break-OW- anything." Which I find more amusing than panic. And indeed, nothing broke. Though there is an awful welt down my left hip, my elbow is a bit banged up, and my knee somehow got skinned through my jeans on top of the bruise. I was certainly feeling it later on, especially on the stairs. The bike was fine too, though that's probably because it landed on top of me.
Last night, I had a fit on insomnia and decided to just stay up all night. Am I going to do a repeat tonight? Nah. I'm off to bed.

But before I go: Adam Phillips has created some of the most fantastic flash animations I've seen. You may have already seen Taken, a Halloween short meant to scare you silly. Aside from that, he's created an entire world setting, called Brackenwood, which is beautiful and quite fun. I'd also recommend just browsing through his site for the stories and other goodies. Heavy on the bandwidth, but very much worth the time.
