I just got back from the doctor.  Seems I somehow managed to fracture my right foot.  Don’t ask.  I don’t know.  I’d been walking around on it for two weeks – one week with crutches – one week just gritting teeth through the pain.  Today, I saw a specialist, and guess what!  I’m now the proud owner of the most hideous walking cast humanity has ever seen!  EVER!

So much for bringing a pair of stilettos and a sexy outfit when I fly to Nashville tomorrow!  I’m allowed to take it off while I’m driving, sleeping and showering.  I also secured permission to take it off while Oleg and I play with our cameras.  But that’s it.  The rest of the time, I have to wear it.  Lemme tell you people – it’s NOT sexy.  AT ALL.  It’s horrid, clunky, and black (or African American, just in case someone gets insulted at my use of the color… which makes me wonder if they changed the color name on the crayon yet…). 

Um, anyway…

So I’m pissed off.  Frank thinks this is ridiculously funny and just told me that he actually may find the walking cast to be a turn-on.  He’s twisted.  My kind of guy!  I went to my favorite store – New York & Company – to console myself by purchasing a lot of great clothes.  It helped… somewhat.  No amount of great clothes will make this horrid walking cast look even remotely attractive, so I’m still grumpy.

I get home, I go to Misha‘s site, and I see this:

I laugh hysterically.  All of a sudden the walking cast is not so horrid.  But the video… yeah.  It’s horrifying and accurate all at the same time. It scares me, but at the same time, I have to wonder if those who plan to cast a vote in his direction remember that we actually DEFEATED communism!  Yeah!  We kicked their asses… and now, we’re becoming them.  I’m sure Putin is laughing his little KGB ass off!

And for those of you who are wondering what the hell this music is… it’s the old USSR national anthem.
