cut fingers; not very disturbing
Cut my fingers last night while trying to cut the ends off some roses before putting them in water. This picture is roughly 24 hours later. Do I need medical attention? I’ve been rolling with hydrogen peroxide + band-aids.
Any time I’ve gotten medical attention for a cut they’ve just dumped antiseptic on it and then told me I’m an idiot. I wouldn’t bother especially now that it’s closed. If you suspect tetanus and aren’t vaccinated go get a shot, otherwise I wouldn’t worry about it unless you see pus or some sort of sign of infection.
I just found out that with some digging, you can now tether a Motorola Droid A855 without rooting or buying anything. In fact, I’m using it now! Woohoo!
I’ve suffered, many stupid cuts. If it’s not sore with red streaks, just keep it covered. Don’t keep using peroxide because you’ll dry the skin out and end up making things worse. Epsom salt was a great follow-up to peroxide. For what it’s worth, the puncture wound referenced in that thread healed completely without losing the nail.

If you get a handjob from a girl you just met in acting class, is it called a Rum Tum Tugger?
Another instant classic from Jon Rowe. Obviously you’ve been studying the master.
I don’t know what’s worse: That joke, or the fact that I get the reference.
I’m not much for musical theater or pretentious Anglophile poets.
I remember seeing a forensics group in high school do an interpretive reading of the T.S. Eliot poems. I am convinced it was that moment that I lost my innocence.
5 first years have died at Queens this year, 2 suspicous accidental falls and 3 confirmed suicides, 2 of them in engineering. The most recent one was a guy that went to my high school and was actually one of my little brother’s friends.
I really just don’t know what to say anymore, I don’t understand it.

Ceci n’est pas une post sur la forum.
Oh dear god, I’m graduating four weeks from Sunday. This is terrifying.

Congratulations! What are you graduating from (i.e. what course?)
Some advice… I graduated last summer. After spending a few months applying for jobs and never getting past the interview stages I went back to do a masters for want of something to do. I wouldn’t recommend doing similar. I ended up leaving the course for medical reasons, but the stress from x years of under grad work, and going straight back into post-grad work didn’t help in any way. Unless you have a burning ambition to research or do a cross-over course, take some time out to clear your head from academic concerns. Work a crappy job if you have to, plan for a holiday, see friends and take up a hobby (somethings you can’t really do in your final year.) It happened to me and a few other people I know that we just burned out by going straight back into university life.
That being said, I know a couple of people who have gone straight through their under grad and into their PhDs. If that’s what you want to do, go for it. But don’t let anything force you into more college unless you really want to do it. You’re only just 21, so you’ve loads of time. A friend, after burning out of his masters, worked for a few years, and is now about to go back and get his teaching diploma. So you won’t cut yourself off from anything.
Geez, a solid hour of Rock Band 3 vocals, sticking mostly to upper-register stuff (Bee Gees, Maiden, Bon Jovi, etc). I’ll be lucky if I can speak in the morning.

I just accidentally upgraded to IE9. Seems ok so far.
Wait until you find all the websites that no longer display properly…
Not so bad if you use IE9 by itself, but IE9 embedded in FeedDemon doesn’t automatically trigger its compatibility mode, so I get a lot of black pages. :(
Great. Middle of the night, can’t sleep and in pain.
Self diagnosis - bladder infection or kidney stone (had the former about 9 years back, so somewhat familiar with the symptoms, but don’t remember any pain, just that it’s somewhat rare for guys to get it).
Guess I’ll watch a movie and when people start waking up do a walk in at my doctor, or if they can’t see me, emergency ward. Strikes me something is wrong if you can’t (sorry ladies) take a whiz.
My glasses seem to have caused a migraine.
I walked by a GameStop today and did not go in. And I totally had time, if I’d wanted to.

This man knows how to sell a car.
EDIT: Realized I should probably include a quote so it’s obvious this is for humour and I’m not an ad-bot.
OK, let me start off by saying this Impreza is only available for purchase by the manliest of men (or women). My friend, if it was possible for a vehicle to sprout chest hair and a five o’clock shadow, this Subaru would look like Tom Selleck. It is just that manly.
It was never intended to drive to the mall so you can pick up that adorable shirt at Abercrombie & Fitch that you had your eye on. It wasn’t meant to transport you to yoga class or Bed Bath and Beyond. No, that’s what your Prius is for.
Tom Selleck? Pshaw! The poor man’s Burt Reynolds.
