Nyanko's Basket

I went to the ER today and after a few hours, found out that I most likely sustained facial soft tissue injuries as well as a concussive head injury. Yay. :P

It was pretty cool, though (both literally and figuratively), since I was wearing a part-hospital gown and I was shivering and hungry while waiting for my X-rays and CT scan results, but at least nothing's seriously wrong and I should be mostly okay to go back to work (though I'm going to hold off on cycling for a day or two, at least).

Putting ice on my cheek and jaw and taking Tylenol/Advil for the pain should probably help muchly.

Also, I hope to hear Epithalamium at someone's wedding (or to play it at their wedidng) in the near future. ^^;;

I had a nagging feeling when I woke up that something was wrong, so I went to look at my documents again and decided to re-type my DS-157 (which I'd originally handwritten) and attach that to my package to replace the handwritten form. I think that helped quite a bit in the end. :P

I had to wait under a tent outside the Embassy until I was called to enter and submit my documents, but the actual process didn't take that long and within 2 hours I was done, though I need to go back on Monday afternoon to collect my passport. That must have been one of the fastest visa applications I've ever done, and it certainly beats out waiting a week through a travel agent especially one who doesn't know what documents are and aren't required.

After that, I wanted to go to Marks & Spencer to look for a suit there, but I got off at the wrong bus-stop (whether by accident or choice, I don't know) and ended up at HMV instead. 30 minutes and 8 CDs later, I came out with the CD that I'd been looking for for over a year: William Bolcom's Music for Two Pianos. I'd ordered this CD back in December at HMV and completely forgot about it until today. :P But now it's in my possession! ^^;;;; Muahahahaha! The Serpent's Kiss (one of the most famous pieces) features foot-stomping, tongue clicking and piano-drumming as various special effects. :P

I did end up going to M&S in the end (at Wheelock Place), but they don't seem to have anything in my size. Guess I'll have to either tailor it or see what can be done.

...I should seriously update my CD collection post one of these days now. :D
