Killer Bruise Man!

It is unbelievably hot today.

It was hot yesterday.

It will be hot tomorrow.

The crazy thing about New England is that it can go from being 50 degrees one night and the very next morning be 95 with 70% humidity. Yes, I have forgotten what humidity feels like. Oh the days in South Carolina, stepping out of the shower and then outside only to find the beads slowly forming, even when standing still. Yes the power of that huge star lying within our heavens, it is a bittersweet mistress...

Good news is it won't last long. In only 2 or so days, it should be back down to normal breathing temperature of 75 degrees. A comfortable and lovely feeling.

In other happenings, I'll let you all know that I'm a bruised son of a gun today. Yes, during the crazy notion of playing ultimate frisbee yesterday..yes crazy..I was unfortunately knuckled right in the collarbone. It was like slow motion, suddenly the white disk came into view...that sweet round piece of victory and then the next thing you know I see a white shirt in my peripheral vision. (Good thing it was the right peripheral, but not that that would've made any difference anyway!) And then BAM! Throbbing pulses through my right upper shoulder. Did I fall? I can't even remember...

I look down to see what everyone is staring at. And then it was like a scene out of a sci-fi movie--I actually did think about Iron Man in that precise second--here just below my neck was a tiny speckle of red, flaring out like mini veins through my skin. I could see the blood vessels popping! A blue spot here, a burst of red there! Oh the awe! Then I had to look away. I said I was fine. I was...kinda. I ran around for a bit more, tough and rugged, just like any lax alum should do. Let's just say the next game, was devoted to running in the probable pee-ridden fountain in the playground. It was divinely cold, to say the least, which was exactly what my sweat glands and popping blood vessels needed. :)

I am happy to say that I should have a pretty killer bruise in the next couple of days though. I mean, it's not too cool looking now, just red and pink with splashes of blue on the top...but when it starts turning yellow...now that will be the ticket! Haha!

Also, my first day of my internship at the Museum of Science was pretty schweet if any of you want to know more about it...especially the time when I put together an ostrich skeleton!
