Crutch fetishism

Yesterday as A. was walking me home, a beggar heckled him, joking that A. was sketchy for picking up a gimpy girl. A. played along with the joke, as is his fashion. The beggar escalated the heckling, and A. matched him.

This eventually reached a point where I was laughing so hard that I could not continue to crutch, and had to stop walking. To laugh until I could suppress the hilarity enough to be able to move.

Then we ate chocolate and discussed the fertile, manifold possibilities of crutch-fetish pornography, with reference to earlier conversations about octopodes. And I was happy.


This post's theme word: erethism, "excessive sensitivity or rapid reaction to stimulation of a part of the body, esp. of the sexual organs" or "a state of abnormal mental excitement or irritation." I am delighted that this single word has both these senses.

Intellectual battle-axe: obsessions

A sampling of things my mind bounces between recurringly, insistently (alphabetized for your reading pleasure):

- Biting nails.
- Circuit vs. function-reduction methods of defining complexity classes; cool idea but increasingly encumbered.
- Do I have enough food for M?
- Hack the terminal on my desk to do Dvorak.
- Is M using an RSS reader?
- Is it difficult to learn Flash?
- It's hard to mop on crutches. And treacherous.
- Later this week, someone will cut into my skin with a knife and fiddle with my insides. Disturbingly.
- Meeting CL ppl for dinner; est. crutch travel time to rendez-vous: 10 min. No, 5 min. No, 15 min. No, 8 min.
- My hair is too hot; maybe I'll donate it again? Springtime shedding.
- Need to do laundry.
- Pata pata pata PON boom boom pata PON (trumpets!).
- Sickening anticipation of the removal of blood from my body later this week.
- Simulating biological systems; interactions; mathematics is powerful and glorious. Like an intellectual battle-axe.
- Stop biting nails!
- The problem of infinite recursion in psychological self-regulation.
- V^0, VPV, VC, \hat{VC}, \bar{VC}.
- Watch tan.
- Why blog? Why am I blogging? Paranoia/security versus psych. rewarding activity... alternatives?
- Why is the skin peeling off the back of my R knuckles?
