Whoa, I think I got a little distracted there. *looks at the time* Anyway, as I was saying before, I was feeling awfully good today, so I decided to go and walk to school without my crutch. Guh. It took me forty-five minutes of hard limping to make it to my office. I hope I don't have to do that again. Wait.. how will I get home? *smacks forehead* Doh!
I woke up a little late today. I had finished off my cinnamon buns yesterday, so I decided to make some corned beef hash for breakfast today. I grabbed a pan, grabbed a bag of hash browns, grabbed a can of corned beef, and started to open the.. Hmm.. these cans of corned beef are like spam cans. They have this metal key object (I don't know what they're called) that you attach to a metal tab and twist so that you basically peel off part of the can so you could open it. It's quite a cute innovation, and it means that you don't need a can opener to get at the food inside. The problem is when they don't attach a key to the can. I checked my other can. No dice. Damn you Biway! *shakes fist* I knew the price was too good to be true.
Pulling at the metal tab was too difficult, and gave me a nice papercut. (Well, not a papercut per se, but something akin to it.) I tried using a fork. Nope. Chopsticks? Whatever. I gave up in the end, and put the food away, as I was putting my frying pan back upstairs, I noticed that my imitation Swiss army knife on the dresser. Hmm.. I pulled out each of the gadgets one by one and came across this saw like thing (that I never used) which had some promise. I was able to wrap the metal tab around the saw so that it would be taut, and twisted. It worked! Yay! Corned beef hash, here we come!
Mmm. Yeah, that was a good meal. *pats tummy*
With all of the herbal stuff that I've been putting on my leg, my room has started to smell like some herbal apothecary. It doesn't smell bad mind you, it just smells weird.
Okay, let's see what I can do now..

Hmm, I had the same problem happen to me with a can of Spam. Fortunately, I was able to improvise with a pair of needle nose pliers and avoided much bloodletting. (Did I mention they're also great for fishing dropped screws between PCI slots? Doh!). HKL

Well, at least I only have one more can left, and I could use my today's trick to open it up if I can't find the proper tool thing. I've got no worries! Hakuna matada!
