Now with 20% more computer-crashey goodness

Here are some secret things that are weird but that I would’ve been happy to get for Christmas:

Scotch Gloss Finish MultiTask Tape – refill pack
Scotch clear Super Strong Packing tape
new skin liquid bandage
Cranberry Felt Dansko Professional Clogs (less weird than expensive)

and did not (though I got many excellent things in their places – I’m not complaining – but how do you ask someone for tape for Christmas?) and so promptly bought for myself.

Luckily, for I am nothing if not lucky, just now fate presented me with a chance to use the new skin Liquid Bandage, a product I have been eyeing for years now, (and which would have enhanced the Christmas knitting experience greatly, when I got two separate small but painful injuries right along the path the yarn takes in my hands), when I smashed my &*^%!ing @^$)&^ thumb in the !#%^#ing ^*%#@^*!@%&*#ing screen door. (I don’t even know what word that last one stands for – that’s how you know how bad it hurt.)

I will keep you posted on the performance of the new skin Liquid Bandage. I plan to apply it once the bleeding stops.

update: INTENSE STINGING SENSATION. Of course, the fact that the stuff smells like nail polish remover was a hint that that might happen. And the fact that the label says "alcohol 6.7%".
