My fall last week in Oakland? Went to the doctor a few days ago. Got a xray. Broke my ankle. Fun stuff.
It’s my birthday. I want to go bookstore hopping (and to Alive Again in Grand Rapids) in the neighboring towns but I busted my ankle last week in Oakland and I’m supposed to rest it.
Just saw The Return of Jackie and Judy! Sleater Kinney with Fred Armisen playing only Ramones songs. The Ramones are forever!
