My company is going indoor skydiving this afternoon. Turns out my boss hired a stretched limo to drive us there. Economic crisis? Really?

I think I might have gone back to training too soon after my shoulder injury, because it keeps giving me grief. I think that several muscles and ligaments around and attached to my shoulder have become inflamed and that I strained them too much during and after my recovery. I started getting almost RSI type feelings in my elbow, and a constant pressure on my shoulder of which I can’t find any relief. There’s a spot between my shoulder blade and my spine that feels like there’s a muscle that runs along the length of my back that’s pulled. There’s a big knot underneath my skin there that is painful when massaged, and I’m not sure if it’s just a result of tension because I’ve never had that type of tension in my back and shoulders before. For all I know it’s a torn muscle or muscular infection that’s causing the swelling, so I haven’t gotten a proper massage yet. I’ve scheduled an appointment with the doctor on Friday to get it all checked out, because today something happened that really made me very worried. I thought I should start getting back to doing my daily amount of push-ups, but my arm felt strange while I did them, like it was unable to support my weight. I could barely do ten push-ups without feeling like my arm could give way at any time. I hope I get some good news and won’t require time-consuming physiotherapy.

Since I’m wasting many, many hours a week in public transport nowadays, reading pulp fiction and wishing I was somewhere else entirely, I thought I could start a new project, something to keep my mind occupied. I thought I could start developing some simple applications for the iPhone. I registered with the Apple Developer Program and was looking at all the specs for the iPhone SDK. To my great surprise, it appeared that the SDK can’t be run under windows! I thought it would’ve been a great opportunity to show developers that not everything that is produced in the Apple forges is frivolous waste of time, but instead, I have to either get a VMWare installation going, or I have to get my hands on a Mac. And so the search for a suitable way to waste my time continues.

So far, two things;

1) I want this t-shirt.

2) Two cannibals are eating the corpse of a clown. One cannibal turns to the other and asks, “does this taste funny to you?”
