Oh yeah...

So Monday on the way home from the student health center I decided to stop by Blockbuster to rent a movie to watch whilst on my bum. After 30 minutes of traversing through the aisles, I was in agony. The crutches were absolutely killing my armpits. When I mentioned this to the MrsColonel later that night, she showed me my problem: I was using them wrong. Turns out that you're supposed to push down with the hands, and not let the armpits absorb all of the weight. This was, I believe, an important concept that a) I wish the nurse had bothered to tell me, and b) something that I wish I had known about 8 hours earlier.

Second realization of my stupidity was going to Blockbuster in the first place. With ITunes et al, I could have just downloaded a movie for a little bit more, which would have been well worth the price that day. And my third moment of [un]greatness was when I was having problems getting up and reconnecting the TV to play a DVD [it's wired separately on the TV and requires changing wires behind the TV]. Instead of going through that hassle, I should have just watched the movie on the computer that was sitting in my lap. Oh yeah...

What movies, you ask, did I rent? 'Zodiac' and 'To end all wars' with Keifer Sutherland. Good times.
