Hello all or anyone. I took a week off to recover, but finally filled in the details of the last few days of my trip, and what a wonderful, rewarding, successful and above-all injury-free trip it was. As for my brief stay in L.A., I cannot say the same. I arrived on a Thursday evening and was looking forward to a couple days of leisure before flying back at the weekend. Friday afternoon, not even 24 hours after getting into town, fate saw to it that I should be safe on my bike, but not in the sea. While bogie boarding at an L.A. beach, an activity I've little experience with (and likely will not pursue further) I managed to get caught up in a healthy-sized wave near the shallows and landed chin-first against the ground or the board or something hard enough to break my jaw in three places. Yes, ouch. A six-hour visit to the emergency room left me in quite a bit of pain and ready to fly home on Saturday holding my jaw in place until I could get it wired shut on Monday. Crap, crap, crappity.
Anyhow, my jaw is now firmly fixed in place and will be for 4 to 6 weeks. Hot stuff. I'm still going to get around to posting some photos, but the codeine has made me quite lazy.

Shiiiiiiitpissfuckcunt! I've been there, my friend, and it is *no fun.* You have my sympathies.
The first recommendation I can offer you is coffee milkshakes with protein powder. You do have a blender, right? If not, let me know; you can borrow mine.
Second, get yourself a portable white-board, and use this opportunity to do pornographic drawings and hurl insults at people. They'll still feel bad for you because you can't talk.
Be sure you continue to bask in your aura of victory for as long as you possibly can. You *did* just accomplish something crazyawesome. As far as there is one, that's the best time to break your jaw. Also, play up the glamour and adventurousness of your accident.
Keep blogging. It's kind of like talking.
Also, do not puree chicken under any circumstances. It's pretty gruesome.
Yowza, I'm sorry. But more importantly, goddamnit, ****congratulations on your trip!****
