about a year and a half ago, i injured my wrist at work. i wore a brace on my wrist for like six months, and for the most part my wrist doesn't hurt anymore. however, i simply cannot play air drums like i used to, and that's what really hurts.

random thought of the evening: they sell gallon containers of mayonnaise but only as jars with a lid. what i need them to make is a giant gallon squeeze bottle of mayonnaise. heck, go ahead and make a 5-gallon squeeze bottle, i'll use it.
