- UFL football is pretty bad. However, Ahman Green, Jeff Garcia, Tim Rattay, Teddy Lehman?! How can you go wrong. #
- Just spent way too much money buying tickets to Weezer playing The Blue Album and Pinkerton. #
- Hokies come out flat again. This is a coaching problem. #
- Tyrod with a beautiful fake on the option. I thought the play was DOA. #
- 3 drops by receivers and 2 by the defense. We should be up 14. #
- Another nice run by Tyrod, and then a nice run by Darren Evans. TD Hokies. #
- @gobblercountry Our O is Tyrod running and dropped passes. D looks better after a bad opening drive. in reply to gobblercountry #
- Great, great drive by the Hokies. Tyrod looking shop, O-line getting it together against an inferior defensive line. #
- Man, Tyrod has looked great running the ball today. Great, great reads. #
An *Amazing* Week
Warning: There will be some gross-ass pictures in this post.
As I mentioned last week, I had a bit of an incident with my left big toe. A big slice in it, four stitches, etc.
Here's how it looked at various points during the week:
Warning: Again, last chance to bail out.
The Cut:
Day 1:
Day 3:
Day 7:
Then, playing some softball (stupid, I know, but I was just catching), I got hit with an errant throw in my thigh. That looked like this over the course of the week:
Day 1:
Day 3:
Day 6:
But, the week ended with a nice dinner at Flatbread Pizza (chorizo, corn chips, corn, black beans, lettuce, salsa, sour cream!), a couple of nice drinks, and a nice walk back up from Davis Square. Until we saw a poor cat get hit by a car, struggle to the side of the road, and fight for about 5 minutes while we worked with some other good samaritans to get it some help. We ran to get something to transport the cat to an animal hospital, but by the time we got back, the cat (thankfully) had lost its fight. It was tough to see, as you might expect.
I'm hoping the coming week will be a bit happier than this one has been. And, yeah, the whole *amazing* thing was tongue-in-cheek.

- Wow, 59 yd field goal to beat Indy. I didn't think Scobee had that sort of leg. #
- It's pretty clear that Kolb is not a better QB than Vick, eh? #

- Just tripped and ripped the bottom off my left big toe. I don't know that I've ever bled this much. Off for stitches. #
- 4 stitches to close up my toe. Waiting on my tetanus shot now. #
- @fraggle22 Oh, indeed it was. in reply to fraggle22 #
- This Hokies team is ridiculous. I don't even know what to think. Get down 17-0 in the first half, win 41-30. #
Never Wearing Sandals Again
About two months ago, I was happily walking up the street coming from grabbing a bite to eat in Davis Square, when I stubbed my right big toe on some uneven sidewalk. Basically, I caught my sandal, had my toe slide across the cement, and it ripped a big flap of skin off.
If blood and/or gross feet weird you out, you probably don't want to click on the link below.
For that one, I wrapped it up in a couple of band-aids, and I was able to walk/run on it since it was so high up on my toe.
Cut to last night. Coming back from going with the girl to grab a bite to eat in Davis Square, I stubbed my left big toe on top top stair walking into my house. Of course, I was wearing the same sandals.
Like last time, I didn't even notice that I had hurt myself until I saw my white Virginia Tech sandals turning pink with blood. This time, when I lifted up my foot, I watched blood gush down onto the floor until I hopped into the shower.
I was bleeding enough that the whole shower turned red. I didn't think I would be able to close this one up with a couple of band-aids. A few hours, a couple of x-rays, 3 shots of lidocaine, and 4 stitches later, my toe was sewed back together.
Again, not for the squeamish:
I'm not entirely sure when I lost the ability to walk without tripping on my own feet. But all I know is that it happened, and it hurts.
