Welcome to Mars, it's open all hours

Bad thing: waking up in the certain knowledge that if you even think about moving your calf, it's going to cramp up lovely. And then moving it in an odd way anyway, so as to get maximum enjoyment from lurching up and trying to massage some sense into the thing.

You know, I begin to think that my brain re-ordered that sequence of events. Like the way you can have a subjectively long dream that climaxes with the alarm going off, when what must have happened is that your subconscious shat some alleged-rational explanation into your forebrain in sheer terror at the loud noise that just happened.

Good thing(s): The sun's out, the sky's intense, it wasn't as parky on the ride in this AM as it was yesterday and I have Pere Ubu's 'Waiting for Mary' stuck in my head.

As far as I know, 'Cloudland' wasn't well-received by the purists because there's a veneer of shiny pop over the atonal skronk and unhinged lyrics. I rather care for the LP. Indeed I rather wish I'd got a copy of that particular track on the work computer, instead of it lurking unreachable on the Winders box at home. (That was a probably futile hint)

I have "Waiting for Mary" stuck in my head too now. :)

Glad to be of service.

(If I forgot to mention it before - nice garden.)

Sorry and all; only got Pennsylvania and St. Arkansas hereabouts.

Do you get that thing where your entire calf turns all at once, and agonizingly, into solid teak? Hurts like a fucking fucker, that one.

I don't think so. One foot would go like that if I stretched it wrong, but Splendid Sports Massage Bloke fixed that and only had to remove me from the ceiling twice while doing it.

Last night my right foot curled up into a crescent of pure pain. It took all I had to not scream, and all day my calf's throbbed swarthily at me.

That sounds like plantar fasciitis - I get it sometimes during a long swim. Rolling a golfball under the arches is supposed to do it some good...

I've had it for years, pressing down as hard as possible on it tends to maintain the current pain level and stops it running away with itself into meltdown.

My mum always said it was something to do with salt intake...
