Awwwws at your poor face. I hope your boo-boo heals fast!

Want to see a photo of my face after I tripped and fell face-first into a box of aluminum yard stakes? ;)

So, I was cleaning out in the garage (and making good headway), when I tripped over a shovel and fell face-first into a box of aluminum yard stakes. The stakes dated from the 1950s and were cut from squared aluminum bars, approx. 3/4" thick. One of the stakes stuck out more than the others and that's where I fell. Fortunately, I was wearing heavy plastic eyeglasses which kept the stake from punching directly into my eye. As soon as I fell, and could see the blood spurting everywhere, I was grateful that I was wearing those thick, ugly eyeglasses.

This image was taken about an hour after I fell. See the chip on my eyeglasses? It's where I fell on the metal stake and then the square stake slid into my brow above, cutting the skin. Those are RAW wounds there!

You are so hardcore. ;-)

Yay for ugly glasses! Hope you weren't terribly scarred from the ordeal, and yay for not picking up some weird infection from old metal!

Holy crap, I'm glad you missed your eyebawl!

I am very interested to hear your new business plans. Your business savvy impresses me. :D

Wow, that's interesting that you didn't like the Ethiopian food! I've only had it once, but it was just about the most delicious thing ever. Of course, I'm pretty sure I did NOT have any raw meat with mine, so that might've been a factor. Or maybe your restaurant just sucked and mine was awesome? Or, perhaps we just have different tastes in food. Anyway, interesting.

The veggies were good (spinach glop, lentil glop, simple salad), but the meat was just so not on. The lamb and chicken were "edible", but the steak, tripe, and liver can fuck right off. I like Indian and Middle Eastern, so it's something in particular about these flavors that didn't tickle my taste buds.

The injera bread that you use to scoop stuff up with was a strange fermenty-risen fabric-y non-bread product. I might've been much happier with something fluffy or crispy, like roti or naan.

The business has been in my mind for a couple of years, but never had the spark that said, "I must do this now." Last week a product idea came to me that would make the start-up worth it, so I'm 80% sure it'll be ready in a few weeks. I'll post all about it when I have details, but sufficed to say it's craft-related and not very profitable, but there's enough to pique my interest and maybe once it's running I can pawn it off on one of my unemployed friends for extra cash. ;-)

I've always loved the joke from When Harry Met Sally about Ethiopian food...

Hey I didn't know that they had food in Ethiopia? This will be a quick meal. I'll order two empty plates and we can leave

There were plenty of those jokes that night. :-D

The veggies weren't bad (spinach glop, lentil glop, simple salad), but the meat was just so not on. Sure, the lamb and chicken were edible, but the beef, tripe, and liver can fuck right off.

I've had Ehtiopian food before, and it's really good. I usually dont' order the beef though.

I can't believe you did that to yourself -- that is something I would do. I'm so clumsy.
