Purple and Yellow and Gross

I mentioned a few times last week that I had a medical thing last Tuesday. It involved anesthesia through an IV. Today I noticed that the area around the IV point is now a giant yellow bruise. Like… how did I not see that yesterday or the day before or whenever? Did the bruise form four days after the fact? Not likely.

I mentioned in a post yesterday that I stubbed my toe on the end of the bed while I was getting ready for work. It hurt like a mutha. It continued to hurt a little for the entire rest of the day and my foot felt a little swollen. It wasn’t bad enough to have a negative effect on me or anything like that, it was just there. Last night when I went to bed I took off my shoes and socks and found that my forth toe on my left foot is a dark purple, almost black, bruise of epic awful ugliness. It is definitely not broken but it is swollen and ugly and gross.

So those are two things I have going for me on this gloomy Saturday morning.

The sun was out this morning for the first time on a Saturday in something like 35 years. Did my camera and I make it outside to take advantage? Nope. I way over slept. Is it too late? The thunderstorms are rolling in so yes, it is too late. I am enjoying a nice breeze as Miss Robin Sparkles the cat and I are sitting next to an open window in the bedroom. That’s something at least, right?

Unifying general relativity and the electromagnetic force? (I presume this also includes the weak nuclear force at sufficiently high energies, but this summary doesn't say)

I'm pretty much at the limit of my understanding of field theories and such just in this summary article, I don't think I'll even try their full journal article.

@cenobyte - Does Professor Skye or her research assistant have any comment on the matter?

I have a weakness for japanese #mathrock and #postrock, since i first listened to #Te over 20 years ago. It's a sound, that in its purest form only bands from there are achieving.

Today, #Toe (yeah, that is another band) did release their new album Now I See The Light and i am instantly in awe. It's mellow atmosphere, the complex time signatures, paired with japanese lyrics is just unique.

Enjoy!
