Clever things I have done since achieving my doctorate:

- Been locked out of my house in the middle of the night. Admittedly, this was not my fault - the lock had mysteriously broken and had to be fixed by two different locksmiths the next day. Still, annoying and frustrating.

- Dropped my desk on my foot, as a result of which I have a broken toe. Well, I think it's broken/fractured, because it's swollen and hurts and I can't walk very well. Apparently, there's not much to be done about such things, so I shan't bother going to the doctor's unless it gets worse. I can't walk anyway, or afford a taxi, so the point is moot. Have taken ibuprofen and am keeping it (sort of) elevated, so hopefully it gets better. If anyone has insightful advice on how to treat a broken toe, those would be greatly appreciated.

All I know of broken toes comes from the episode of House with Mira Sorvino, where, if I'm not mistaken, it nearly killed her. But she was in Antartica, so that might mean nothing.

All of my medicine be tv medicine...

Heh. I think House makes us all somewhat more paranoid about our health. ;)
