Weird injuries

I have a really large bruise on my left leg and I have no idea whatsoever how it got there^*.

I also have this strange affliction in the upper part of my left arm where it refuses to stay in any one position without causing me aches and pains. This seems to have been quelled by Tylenol, but it kept waking me up during the night when I'd roll over, maybe not even onto my arm but it'd just start aching again.

I don't think it has anything to do with the sunburn, honestly, because both of my arms are totally burnt but only one is aching. Maybe it's residual to the volleyball ache from last weekend and got aggravated by something like the subway or something. I guess it's a good thing I'm skipping arm workouts at the gym this week.

Ugh, I don't want to go back to Seattle tomorrow morning, as usual. (I'd ask for a ride back from the airport, but my flight gets in at 10:30am or so, and I expect most people will be at work) So for now I guess I'll go running around the city some more. We're going to see Avenue Q tonight, wheeeeee.

* Before anyone can make the obvious comment, no, Nick isn't responsible for my bruised left leg or Nalini's black eye. Really. I think I must have just walked into something and not noticed.

Strolled around the corner from Broadway to Bleecker

And didn't sing out at the top of my lungs or anything. Actually, I was kinda surprised that it was such a nondescript corner.

See, it was the day for making gratuitous Eddie From Ohio references, being the Fifth of July and all. So I spent the day wandering the city. I went by Book-Off, and got lunch at Oh!Raku sushi, formerly Genki sushi, the kaiten place which is too damn expensive. Went around Rockefeller Plaza; failed to get anything; was properly scared by the Build-a-Bear place.

So I went down to Noho/Soho and wandered there for a while. I went to the corner of Bleecker and Broadway and... er, well, I forget most of the lyrics right this second, and all I did was get an ice cream cone from the Mister Softee parked on the corner. It melted in approximately 1.57 minutes, ending in the cone exploding in my hands as I got to the bottom of it. I walked around the area for a while, though. The Scholastic Store is really cool and has all of this cool Harry Potter stuff, and they're also having a big HP party next week, of course. I got chai in a random streetcorner cafe (not a Starbucks! a place at Broadway and Spring) and sat around for a while, then walked more. I walked through NYU, but it really doesn't feel like a campus, which bugs me. Washington Sq. Park with the chess players is neat though.

Came back up here after that to pack, stopping by Times Square to pick up theater tickets. Then Nick and I headed down to see Avenue Q, stopping at a deli on the way for dinner -- and daaaamn was that a good sandwich.

Anyway, Avenue Q was fantastic. There's so much that doesn't come out just from listening to the soundtrack, but I'd feel sort of like I'm giving away spoilers if I really talked about a lot of it, so I won't (except for "Monsterssori School", hahahahaha). Suffice it to say, it was awesome, and Nick really laughed at it too, which is good. It was a lot of fun and I'm happy I got to see it.

Ack, I have to leave New York soon. That sucks.
