pandemonium!

i don’t think there’s really craziness afoot, the word just popped into my head as i came to this medium. it struck me as a funny word and my brain rolls it over and over finding different stress points and inflection points to make it sound even crazier than it already may be.

my whole body just feels used and abused. i took my dog out for a run yesterday and inadvertently managed to roll my ankle. there’s another two weeks of running put on the back burner. maybe a week without climbing, but it’s been wet in that department. about 2 weeks of painful bike riding as well. i always forget how much these stupid injuries impact my active life, but at the same time, injury walks next to me as i do all these things, waiting in the fold to grab me at the most unsuspected times to sideline me. put me in coach, dammit.

over the past week i’ve been listening to NPR, and have heard 3 people say the word “dis”. as in the shorthand form of “disrespect”. it just sounds funny to hear about the iraq study group dissing GW with it’s conclusions. i don’t know if i’m ready to start hearing that word in my “adult” activities. slang is so cool though, finding stupid ass word and assigning meaning. i don’t know how, but i heard some MC hammer a couple of days ago, and i heard him use the word “proper”. i have subsequently parlayed that word for my own devices.

i think i complain about the inaccuracies that are almost impossible to avoid with spoken language, but i realize now how much i love it. the ambiguity becomes part of the language itself, to where ambiguous meanings are intentionally used, because that is what you want to express.

fractions are just as much fun as all those crazy 1’s and 0’s. my head keeps hurting lately. i wonder if it’s pushing my recent thought processes.

proper.
