psychic iTunes meme

Ganked from luvmoose, although I also saw a version of it on madlori the other day.

The rules:
Put your iTunes (or iPod) on random, then ask it each question out loud before going to the next song. Record what song it jumps to as the answer.

When I was a sophmore in college, I was crossing some train tracks when I slipped, fell, and dislocated my right shoulder. One of the risks of dislocating that particular joint is that it will be permanently weakened and the joint will have difficulty staying in place. But I recovered without incident, except for occasional issues with muscle weakness and being able to tell when it's about to rain.

Until today.

( Cut for the very squeamish -- there's nothing too graphic, but just in case. )

Now I'm not quite sure what to do. The joint is clearly weak and probably will be for several days, but I'm certain that everything is back where it belongs, and I don't think a doctor could do anything other than give me medicine for the residual pain. I'm already taking megadoses of ibuprofin, which seem sufficient. If I don't lift any heavy boxes or do anything else too exerting for the next few days, I should be okay, right? But I am concerned that this shows permanent weakness in the shoulder. Worth getting it looked at, or not? Hmm.

The friend committee has jump-started my common sense and convinced me that a doctor's appointment is necessary. I'll call first thing tomorrow.

In other news, my offramp from the Bay Bridge closed today. For three years. I used this thing to get home from work every day, and now it's gone. According to Caltrans, only 10,000 cars a day use the exit, but I was in one of those cars, dammit! I drove myself on it for the last time on Friday, and it was a weird thought.

It's all part of the earthquake retrofit, which is necessary work, but three years?

Okay, I know I am way over my posting quota for today, but I couldn't let this one get by.

Remember how I said the other day that the CA Assembly was highly unlikely to pass the same-sex marriage bill that got through the state Senate?

I was wrong.
