Might also be somewhat mistyped drunken ramblings as well, seeing as the middle and ring fingers of my right hand are currently strapped together, courtesy of a frisbee to my ring fingertip and some bruising. Found that a finger tube of gause helped make it much more comfortable than the strapping directly on the fingers.

...brushing my teeth is more painful than throwing backhand. Teeth got a cursory go-over just now.

I'm still somewhat surprised that not only did I volunteer to go and play in the Brass Monkey tournament (I'm even looking forward to it), but that I'm actually prepared to do the extra practice leading up to it.

Another thing that surprised me recently was how pleased having my BA on my new business cards made me. nishatalitha BA and the various other details of how to contact me and the firms details on the back. I have my own business cards! Isn't that awesome?

And I got to tell the story of Donaghue and Stevenson, which is the first major Tort of Negligence case which establishes Duty of Care and Proximity between a manufacturer of foods (but Lord Atkin, who wrote the judgement, didn't see why it couldn't be extended to other things), regardless of whether or not the consumer had actually purchased it. It's not something we think about now, yet it's integral to our knowledge that when we're given something (because if we're the purchaser, there are other remedies) or use something, that if there's a problem with the goods or edibles, that we can complain and take it back and expect to be recompensed for it. Which is one reason I like this case. Also, Lord Atkin's judgement is awesome.

I should really go to bed now.
