Accidental Self-Mutilation

So Sunday afternoon I was chopping up cabbage for "Chow Mei Fun" - fried rice noodles - and promptly made a 1/3" slice into my thumb, cutting into the nail.

The image that came to mind the split second before the cut started to ooze blood was the ATM scene from "Office Space" when Ron Livingston realizes the account has more money than it should and he says, "Oh shit."

Then the bleeding started and the "Oh shit" turned to "Fuck. . . . .FucK. . . . .FUCK!" and a scurry to the bathroom to wash the wound with antibacterial soap.

Good thing I had just bought a box of Band-Aids and Neosporin on a whim a few days earlier.

Needless to say, the noodles came out great.
