It's been said that you learn something new everyday. Well, yesterday must have been a special day for me, because I learned a few things. Here are some of the things I learned (in no particular order relative to when I learned them):
*-Contact Solution is a good tool for getting blood out of clothing
*-Stitches can go through your fingernail
*-x-acto blades? they're sharp
*-If you have a mishap involving a hospital visit while at work, work seems to pay for it.
Basically, I was cutting a little display board at work, and managed to slip, and miss the display, and slice my finger. So I had to take a little trip to the Emergency room to get it stitched up. So there are currently 9 stitches in my left index finger, from the fingertip to my first knuckle. The fact that there are 9 in such a short distance leads me to believe that it was pretty deep. Although I don't think I damaged any nerves, because I hit my finger against a metal railing this morning, and boy did that hurt.
In other news, I went up to New York to see the Lion King on broadway last friday. Which was completely awesome. I wasn't completely impressed with some of the singing voices (although Nala was great), but the sets, the costumes, everything else was amazing.
other than that, not too much going on...
