The One Where Emzy Got Rugburn

This one cracks me up just thinking about it. It was just last weekend so it's still fresh in my memory, even though it's not a very long story. Emzy was talking on the phone in her apartment, which has THEWORSTCELLPHONESERVICEEVER!

So naturally, she went out to the balcony where the reception is exponentially better. Apparently her apartment building has some sort of built-in protection from the aliens who want to siphon your brain waves. And when it was built in the 1970s, the idea of cell phones was so ridiculous that nobody thought twice about future implications. At least that's my theory.

Anyway, since Emzy is moving all her stuff into storage for the summer her balcony furniture had already been taken away. All that was left out there was one of those giant exercise balls that you're supposed to use to improve your posture and work your abs harder. And since this was a lengthy phone conversation, it made complete sense for her to sit on the ball.

But let's recall for a moment that she is not the most coordinated of gals. For a few seconds, it was smooth sailing. I was sitting on the couch with our friend Andrew and out of the corner of my eye I see disaster striking.

NOT ONLY does she fall off the ball, she manages this epic flip and roll thing that lands [no pun intended] her flat on her back, not sure if she should laugh or cry. But laugh she does. Which is good cause it was hilarious. I don't think I've seen a fall that intense since Keri Strugg in 1996.

But still, the best is yet to come. Because she just goes on about her phone conversation like nothing is amiss. And when she was done jabbering, she came back inside to show us her battle scar....rugburn to the knee. It's pretty sexy. And still hilarious.
