Today, my sister and I went shopping for a belated birthday gift for her. She needed a new phone, so on our way we went. After walking to the shopping area from her house and visiting a few stores we had a good idea of what the prices were and had even bargained a great price at one of them, getting a big discount on the iPhone and some perks here and there, we had to walk all the way back to her house to pick up her passport, but eventually we had succeeded. In shadowrun terms, I feel we rolled all sixes on our negotiation roll. :)

Bus Full of Indians
Currently sitting in an unusually hot bus filled with what looks to be several Indian families. If I close my eyes, I can pretend I live in India and I’m doing an average commute. :)

Dislocated Shoulder
Last night, I had my first real injury from doing BJJ; I dislocated my left shoulder. We were rolling, I was on my back, my opponent in half-guard, I had an underhook on the half-guard side and I was moving to take his back. Basics. Then he underhooked my other arm, pulled it up — and here is where it gets a little foggy — I think he tried to do a weird modified straight armbar, where he put my hand on his shoulder and tried to press against the elbow of my outstretched arm. A little confusing — also for me — but the end result is that I felt something pop in my shoulder and a shooting pain ran along my arm. I hadn’t tapped yet, but he felt my arm go limp so he put me on my back again, at which point I decided to tap. He got off me and asked me if I was okay, and I couldn’t move my arm anymore. I looked at my shoulder and saw that it was a few centimeters lower than it should be. My teacher came up and before I could protest popped my arm back in. That hurt more than it popping out. I iced it for the remainder of the class and inspected it to find no bruising or swelling. I took a painkiller and that was that.
Today I woke up and I found I had a lot more mobility in my shoulder. I can even left my arm a bit again. I don’t think it will take long for this to be healed, but still it sucks.
Father
I love my father. He was so cool.
