Thank you, Craig, for your list

I've been hounding Craigslist these last few weeks to finish furnishing the house. Yesterday, we scored a set of like-new dining chairs for $100. Awesome!

This ad is one of the many reasons why the "Free" section is my favorite (I also like it because everything is... uh... free):
I'm done reading this months issue of Cosmo and I have no need for it anymore. Instead of putting it in the recycle bin, I thought I'd let other people have the chance to read it. The sex game section is ripped out, but other than that, its like brand new!
must pick up.
email if interested

Hilarious.

From zero to cankle

in

I rolled my ankle yesterday.

Yes, ouch.

I was being a good little employee, checking email on my phone while walking across the wet UW campus to class. Walking down the stairs between Red Square and the fountain, I took a wrong step and rolled my left ankle.

I heard two pops during the roll and immediately knew I was in trouble.

From the shock, I was seeing stars for a minute or two. Speaking to how nice UW students are, several people stopped to see if I needed help. I recovered in short time, bummed some Advil from a nurse in passing and hobbled another couple hundred yards to attend class. One of my classmates fetched ice from the HUB, so I was able to ice right away.

I managed to drive the Blue Hornet home, although I really regretted having to drive the clutch.

Today my foot is SWOLLEN, and I am currently nursing an infant where my ankle used to be. It's a full-fledged cankle at least half the size of my ego, if that means anything.

Please send flowers and cards to my house while I recover. You may also make a donation to a charity of your choice in my name.
