DotW; Is it me or do you enjoy being against about anything "normal" ? Is being marginal that important?

 

Hmph!
I was going to babble something good....but somehow I accidentally clicked outside of the text box, and then hit backspace (the equivalent of hitting the back button)...so everything I had written was lost...and I'm too lazy to re-write it…and trust me when I say, the post that this *could* have been, would change the world! But no, I had to go and make a slip of the wrist, and now none of you shall know the secret of immortality.
Sucks to be you.

 

Well, I didn't expect to go dog-walking today. Especially because I don't have a dog.

 

Nope - never trust anyone who says "trust me". Also when someone tells you not to worry, worry.

 

It's not about my being marginal, it's about spring/summer, and these are two seasons I despise with passion. I hate the hot weather, I hate the humidity, I hate the fact that decency gets thrown out by the window, I hate the heatwaves, and I hate the sun... cursed thing!

But since you bring up the topic of my marginality... I'll tell you this - I'd rather be a black sheep than be a part of the flock.

You got that right.

 

Ewww Ewww Ewww Ewwwwwwwww....

I just got back for my appointment from my optometrist, and I got contacts for the first time.... It feels so weird to have something on my eye.
Oh yeah, did I mention that things touching my eye make me squimish.

On the plus side, I can wear my wicked sweet Oakley sunglasses I bought awhile ago!

 

Yes! I'm back with a working internet connection. Two days without any real computering.

Two - freaking - days. The horror.

 

I've had contacts for 12 years now, and yes, it's unpleasent at first. After a week or so you won't even feel them anymore. I wouldn't go back to wearing glasses ever.

 

Well, I'll admit having a computer around is fun, given easy access to one I'd probably won't resist. But sometimes when I put my mind to it, I can do without one. I enjoy doing "other" stuff that doesn't require digital devices. Computers are great, it's just isn't a good idea to rely too much upon them, or anything for that matter.

I, for one, enjoyed this sunny spring day (10 C) - I took a long solitary walk (as I usually do every day) it felt good to only wear a wool sweater and no winter coat.

wearing glasses / contact isn't that bad, I wear glasses and I'm happy, at least I can see right. I guess it's my own fault - too much reading in dim light

 

Grrrr...

The high winds here have kicked up a lot of dust in to the air...so much so that you can't see for more than a mile...and as I'm drining home, it starts raining mud. By the time I got home, my nice clean car looked like a dog that just rolled around in a puddle of mud.

That was about an hour ago...and now it's snowing.

 

@Kitrax: What kind of contacts do you have (eg daily, weekly, monthly, etc)?

 

things are beginning to look up. i hope

 

Why is coming up with a good plot for a module so darn hard?

 

Did some brief reading today, and I think it may actually be the nerve. Between sitting at my computer as much as I do, and all the lifting I do when I work make me a prime candidate. I have two weeks to clean up one area out back before the old man gets seriously pisse doff at me, and I have some hay to move this week (a little bit every week until early June, then early July I'll have to help fill the barn again) means that I doubt the rest will be a viable option...

 

You lack one crucial ingredient to fire up your imagination.

 

Hmmm, maybe. Don't remind me.

 

/waves said ingredient under Dfly's nose

Just messing with ya.

Seriously... I don't know about you, but some of my best ideas pop when I'm not forcing creativity. The raven, for example - I was half-asleep when the idea popped in my mind.

 

Just my luck - as I was going to school, I had my hand on the door's knob. The phone rang, it surprised me, who would call here at 7h15 AM ? It was the college's automatic service telling me my 8h00 - and only class of the day - is cancelled.

Funny thing I was thinking of skipping this class but finally I resolve myself to go anyway. It seems to me fate had decided otherwise.

 

In my left eye I have a "firm" lens from Bausch and Lomb, and in my right eye I have a "soft" lens that's an Acuvue 2. The Bausch and Lomb lens is a monthly, and the Acuvue 2 is a weekly.

The Bausch and Lomb lens feels horrible...and it's the hardest damn thing to get off my eye. I'm definitely going with the Acuvue 2 once this trial week is over.
