Eloi, eloi, lama sabachthani?

I've noticed that there's something odd about my right knee. Well, technically I noticed it right after I moved in to this building and started going up a lot more stairs than I'm used to. It doesn't hurt or anything, but whenever I take a step up a stair, my knee makes a really loud gristly tearing sound that's rather distressing. And it feels like I'm popping bubble wrap under my kneecap with every step. I live on the third floor (which is technically the fourth floor,) and the other night as I was headed up the last flight of stairs my neighbors Kelly and Margo were sitting at the top, so I said, "Hey, listen to this" and then demonstrated. They both pretty much flipped the fuck out. I demonstrated a few more times, because it is gross in the way that's really fun and interesting, but they made me promise to have it looked at when I go home. If it continues, I probably will.

I'm going to Amsterdam tomorrow morning by train and by ship. I'm pretty excited about all of that. I really hope one of the people I'm going with knows how we're getting there and where we're staying, because I have absolutely no idea beyond that it involves both a train and a ship.

I have a song from Jesus Christ Superstar in my head, but I don't know the words unless I'm hearing it, so it's just the same couple of non-consecutive lines playing over and over. The part that mostly features is "God, thy will is hard, but you hold every card..."

I'm really, really glad it's the weekend. I wish it was a weekend that involved sleep.

P.S. It'll interest you to note that the actor who played Saint Peter in the film version of Jesus Christ Superstar went on to a fairly lucrative and successful career in pornography, according to the IMDB.
