    Actually, I did, in fact, land myself in Brooklyn Hospital with the side of my pointer finger sliced off by an exacto knife.



    They decided to use skin glue to mend my poor finger and when it started to bleed again, the nurse grabbed it with a piece of gauze, which of course, promptly glued its fibers into my wound.



    The doctor had to come over and take apart my finger again and pick all of the fibers out, then flush it with (ouch) saline so that I didn't get an infection.



    I ended up with stitches anyway and I never regained feeling in that finger. Hate that place but at least I still have my limbs.

    My professors at Pratt used to say,"Be careful with that(rotary saw, exacto knife, corrosive acid, molten bronze...) you really don't want to go to Brooklyn Hospital."

    I am so confused about police having online relationships with sex offenders. They last months?

    Oh yay they want to build another building just like the one in LIC. In greenpoint! How Original! How I probably won't be able to afford it. But really just looks like a copy of whats on the LIC water front.
