Well, my x-ray results where negative, so I'm being referred to a hand/physical therapist in Richmond just as soon as I can make an appointment. Man, this thing is really beginning to get in my way. My whole hand went numb for a little while today. I ran it under some hot water until I got the feeling back in most of it. My fingertips still feel a little strange.

On a happier note, I had my recital preview today. It went well; I was actually disappointed when the faculty said they'd heard enough. I was ready to play, man! So, my recital is now offically set for February 16, 2007. That's a Friday night, y'all, so everyone come out.

Fred Phelps has made noise about trying to show up in Berea to protest a fallen soldier's funeral tomorrow. The Patriot Guard Riders are also going to be there, so I and several other students are going out to the funeral to help form a human wall between any protesters who might show (filthy pieces of shit) and the grieving family. My guess is that they won't show up, given the rally that this city mustered a few years ago when he made noises about showing up here to spew his hatred.

But, I only have finals week to go and then I'm done with this God-forsaken semester. *waits impatiently*

I'd be inclined to think carpal tunnel, but that only makes three fingers numb - unless it's a truly severe case. Whatever it is, here's to your quickest accurate diagnosis and recovery!

And... bully for you! Phelps definately needs to be stopped from pursuing his crusade against morality.

An interesting tidbit about Phelps and his henchmen, though I don't know how much truth is to this rumor: yesterday a radio station DJ said that the group includes a large percentage of lawyers. They incite as much rage as possible, in hopes that someone will haul off and punch them, and then they can sue them for damages. That's how they pay their way across the country. Dunno if it's true, but it makes a certain amount of twisted sense.

Also making a certain amount of sense: Leonard Pitts wrote a beautiful article about 9 months ago which declared that no one could be that bigoted, unless, just maybe, he was hiding a mountain of pent-up self-hate. He wrote, "Allow me to share with you an epiphany. I think Fred Phelps is gay. Not that I'd have any way to know for sure, and not that there's anything wrong with that. But it seems obvious to me that Freddie has spent a little time up on Brokeback Mountain, if you catch my drift." (Wish I could link the rest of the article, but it's behind their archive wall now.)
