Having Your Corneas Reshaped

I am getting my dumb eyes lasered on Saturday morning.  So of course this week I have been reading all of the horror stories about people with double vision etc.  I really need to settle down with it, but I can't help myself.  I have plenty of friends/acquaintances that have done it without any problems. And yet, I have this sneaking suspicion that I am going to be the 1 person who get screwed.

I have worn glasses for 23 years with contacts as a supplement for 15. The first thing I do every morning is grope blindly for my glasses

Minuses of Lasik:

• I enjoy flipping people off by pushing my glasses up with my middle finger - this is an important thing that I will not be able to do anymore! 
• I will look less intellectual without my glasses, right?
  
• Being able to see the alarm clock in the morning (seriously, I don't want to know what time it is)
• Not being able to hide less than perfect eyebrows
  
• Possible double vision/dry eyes
• Price
  

On the plus side:

• Eye makeup will be more fun
  
• 800 pairs of shades
• Not being a four eyes
• Being able to see the alarm clock in the morning (yeah, I know this is a minus too, but I do need to know when I need to get out of bed)
• Wearing my bangs for real
• Motivation to go to the spa to get brows done (and slip in a massage/mani/pedi)

Oh PS - I really hate it when people say stupid shit, like "You are so much prettier without your glasses."  A) that is not a compliment; B) That's like saying you're pretty for a dark-skinned girl; and C)I'm fly with four eyes or six and anyone who doesn't think so probably needs Lasik themselves.

Conversations with EBY

Me:  Michelle Obama is more fit than you.

       me too, but you should be embarrassed about it because you are a boy

Eby: When my day consists of being escorted from grade school to grade school talking to illegal mixicans and then to the gym and home, then       we can compare apples to apples.

Prison Break

Five signs you have been working too much:

5. The people in the Au Bon Pain across the street ask where you have been.
4. A partner at your sweatshop tells you to go home.
3. The sun both rises and sets while you are at work.
2. You've got 328 available downloads on iTunes from things you've pre-ordered/upgraded.
1. Your boyfriend, who you live with, asks via e-mail when he is going to see you again.

I haven't blogged because I've been in prison with no breaks to go out in the yard or anything! I am trying to keep up with this blog thing but failing, massively.  I will post something later today, maybe! Stay tuned.

Terminator is a Documentary

I love technology. So much so that I am always willing to put down cash on the latest shiny thing that will help make my life even the tiniest bit more convenient. My car is the perfect example of this. It has every bell and whistle that you can think of. Bluetooth? Check. Options to set seats and adjust mirrors based on the driver (even though I do not let anyone drive it)? Check? Voice activated controls? You betcha!

Even though I love technology, it is my firm belief that it will be the death of us all. I think about the number of devices I would have to ditch if I ever have to run from the rise of the machines. The Car, the Droid and the Blackberry (I'm trying to ditch that anyway) would be the first to go. Could I keep the iPod touch? I don't know. I think I could at least keep the iPod classic. Not sure though. What I do know is that Google = Skynet and when it becomes self aware (soon) we are all fucked. Google has much much access to my life (and probably yours), my cell phone and gmail/calendar/contacts are all intertwined - gchat is my preferred chatting tool. Every time I turn my phone on, Google knows where I am. If I disappear soon, you'll all know what happened. Now that I've shared this story, I've got to go, I just finished hooking up our Blu-Ray player to the internets.
