|
|
I was cooking some yuk kae jang this past weekend. I took the glass lid off the pot, and decided to rinse it and stick it in the drying rack. Forgetting what I learned from my grade school science class, I put it under the (cold) faucet, and I had myself an IED- that fucker shattered into a million little pieces. Cut my hand superficially in a few places. Luckily glass didn't land in the vegetables I had cut up and were sitting on the cutting board next to the sink. I'm lucky the glass didn't hit my eyes.
A couple of days later, after I had thought I had thoroughly cleaned the glass up, I stepped on a tiny shard. I didn't pick it out right away cuz I was doing something (running late for work). By the time I got around to it, the thing had firmly embedded itself into my skin. I still haven't been able to get it out.
So what have you done lately that defies common sense?  |

| Gathering more firewood in the bush when I'm already tired from the other 2 loads. Trees start to come flying back at you when you can't put 100% into tossing it on the truck bed. Ouch. |

| I walked into a bus the other night. I have no idea how... I checked the street for traffic, waited until (I thought) the bus had passed, and then started across. I was distracted and looking away, but not THAT distracted and not looking THAT far away, and I walked right into the side of the bus. |

I cooked a can of beans into some really delicious chili and now I am eating ALL of it. I think I will regret this in the morning.  |

| Walking to the pub with a group of my Uni students, stopped to buy some smokes at an outdoor vendor, started chit-chatting with the guy next to me (who I thought was one of the students I had been walking with), looked up to realize it was some other monsteriously tall guy I didn't know. Was so flabergasted I just balled out without getting the smokes. |

About a half an hour before work started I ate a small package of prunes for a snack. In the next hour I topped it with several mandarins and about 5 solar-c's. Intense intestinal cramping for the next 8 hours or so. Had to bail on class twice.  |
