WARNING: Watching Flight of Conchords may be hazardous to your health!

After watching Flight of the Conchords at Hillary’s this weekend, I decided I must have it.  So, after knitting on Sunday, I went to Fred Meyer’s to impulsively buy season 1.  They didn’t have it.  Not to fear, Amazon.com has everything, I’d just order it on Monday.

Monday came, and I remembered to look into getting the show – I checked out the “shopping suggestions” on Google to see if I could get it in a store close by, but then figured Amazon.com was cheaper and they ship quickly.  I put it in my cart and realized $19.99 wasn’t going to get me to free shipping – damn! What else do I need?!  *Light Bulb!* Maybe I can get groceries from Amazonfresh and put the show in my order!!  So I went through planning my meals and added the movie, making sure I could get to the $75 for free shipping (plus, I got free milk and Cougar cookies!).  Woohoo!  I gotta say, great benny to living in Seattle – Amazon Fresh – it’s pretty amazon-azing

Of course mydelivery came mid-workout, so I was all out of breath (yes, the delivery took my breath away).  And, to my delight, Flight of the Conchords was there!  (I put my order in at 10:30 and I got the movie at 6:45…um, yeah – that should blow your socks off, if you’re not already amazon-azed , sorry had to do it)

I decided to put the show on when I started to make dinner.  No problems yet, though I was missing half of it, as I can’t see the tv from the kitchen (*hint* hint* Morgie, I really want a portable dvd/tv combo for the kitchen!).  But when Morgan got home, he wanted to start over the season, so I got a double dose of Jemaine & Bret and hearing theme song again! hehe, I love it!

The oven timer beeped in the middle of the episode, so since I’d seen bits and pieces, I told Morgan not to pause.  (play-by-play, or step-by-step – haha, that was a funny show, loved the Code-man!)

1. Open the oven,

2. Look back at the show and why Morgan’s laughing,

3. Grab the hot-pad,

4. Look at the show,

5. Stick hands in oven,

6. Pull hands out quickly, as I realize I stuck them up too high and I think I hit the top burner,

7. Stare at hand trying to figure out what just happened,

8. Say to Morgan, “I think I just burnt myself”,

9. He’s too into the show to really hear me the first time,

10. I say in a little more panicked of a voice, “I really think I burnt myself bad, what does a 3rd degree burn look like?!”

11. Morgan pauses the show and comes to look,

12. Morgan starts to get me a bowl of water to put my hand in, “Touch it” he says (hahahaha), “if it hurts then it’s a burn”

13. I do, and it doesn’t hurt, in fact, I don’t really feel it at all

14. We decide it’s just a scrape.  And he gets the food out of the oven.

15. I continue to stare at my hand – the skin from my pinky finger has been “scrapped” back to reveal who knows how many layers down, there is no blood

Sorry the image is blurry - self portrait.

 

 

16. I serve up dinner, we go back to watching the show.

17. OWWWWWW! It’s BURNING HOT! (apparently my nerves weren’t feeling anything for awhile)

18. I retrieve the water, Morgan uses my iPhone to look up “care for burns”, Morgan says, can you put the skin flap back over the hole?

19. Ummm, Morgan, the skin is melted to my finger, I can’t move it.

20. With my hand in the bowl, we continue to watch the show, yes, I know, the phone said that you’re supposed to seek immediate medical attention, well, isn’t laughter the best medicine?!  And plus, I come from the family that after grandma fell, we all sat down to eat before taking her to the hospital to find out she broke her hip…not to worry, it was HER stubborn decision to have Christmas dinner!

The pain is much better today, it was off and on searing last night.  It looks pretty nasty, and I’m keeping neosporin on it.  I have also put a ban on my use of the oven.  After melting my contact at Christmas-time when getting baked potatoes out, I think my oven privledges should be revoked.  We’ll see how much cooking we can get done by stove-top (don’t worry, we take the battery out of the smoke detector, stove-top cooking creates all sorts of its own issues to deal with, and listening to the smoke detector is not one I can handle well)!
