The Big Toes

April 2002. Playing catch barefoot. Rip the toenail off my left big toe clean off. Fucking hurt. Had like 3 weeks worth of vicodin. Worst pain ever.

Memorial Day 2006. Playing kickball barefoot. Rip half the toenail off my right big toe. Hairline fracture to the toe. About a weeks worth of weakass vicodin, and a band-aid on the toe. Hurts like a bitch.

Moral of the story. I need to learn to start wearing shoes when playing sports. Or just in life in general.

And I need more vicodin.

Lost season 2 finale

Warning: Don't read this if you haven't watched the season 2 lost finale and plan on watching it. If you've already seen it, or don't watch the show regularly, read away.

Lingering questions from tonight's finale that I will think about thru the entire summer (in somewhat chronological order):

1. How does Desmond have a never-ending supply of liquor?
2. How did Calvin, Sayid's-teaching-in-torture, get to the island?
3. Will they ever reveal what Libby was doing in the nuthouse with Hurley, or is that a lost (no pun intended) storyling?
4. Now that we kind of know what "the monster" is, does that mean it'll just completely stop appearing for the rest of this series? I liked the monster.
5. What happened to the 3rd stick of dynamite in the sack that Eko grabbed (there were definitely two sack's of 3 in last years finale. One sack blown up, the other hidden where we just found it)?
6. WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT GINOROUS FOUR-TOED FOOT STATUE?
7. How did Eko & Charlie survive that fireball?
8. Where are Michael & Walt going that they are about to be saved?
9. Why is Henry Gale in charge? He's a dickwad. And why was he so upset that "Tom" wasn't wearing his beard?
10. Why did they want Sawyer, Kate & Jack as their 3 prisoners?
10a. Why did they choose Hurley as the representative to report back to camp?
10b. Where exactly are they taking Sawyer, Kate & Jack?
11. What happened at the hatch, exactly?
11a. Did Locke or Eko survive?
11b. Will they show us some flastback at some point next season to let us know what happened at the hatch?
12. Why did the electromagnet thing cause the entire sky to go brightwhite like that and give everyone a splitting headache?
13. Who were those Portuguese-Siberian guys, how exactly did Penny (Desmond's loverladyfriend) know to look for electromagnetic anomalies, and why oh why did Matthew Fox (Jack) play one of the two Portuguese-Siberians?
14. When is the season 3 premiere?

Corn on the Cob

Sitting at a traffic light in Matawan on the way home from the Da Vinci Code (good flick!) with Logan today, when I happen to glance at the driver of the car next to us. Don't we all do that like 80 times a day? Yup. Does anyone see what we saw today? Nope.

The guy was eating Corn on a Cob. It was all going on. Corn. On. The. Cob. The works. Butter, salt, pepper, cob. Who does that? To add to this already classic moment, as we're watching, one of the kernels manages to tumble off the cob, out of his mouth, down his chin, and roll right down his shirt.

You can't script this sort of thing. Who eats corn on the cob while driving? Anyone? I'll eat a bagel, or a sandwich. Occassionally fries or chips or something. Usually sunflower seeds. But that's about it. Never even considered corn on the cob. THat's up there with Ribs as things I'll never try while behind the wheel.

Sports

Unwilling to accept the fact that tomorrow may be the last time I ever watch Patrik Elias in a Devils sweater. That would be disastrous. They need to resign him this offseason. He's top priority for sure (but they can't forget about Langenbrunner, we need him back too).

In other sports news, Cole Hamels looked great tonight for the Phils. His presence in the rotation (coupled with sending Madson back to the bullpen) makes the Phillies a much better team, and you'd have to consider them definite contenders in the NL East from here on out.

Today is...

Did you ever have one of those days where nothing all that monumental happened, but by the end of it you have no idea who you are or what you're doing with your life?
