I should not have waited so long (almost five years) to have my eyes re-checked. I picked up my glasses with the new prescription today, and the difference is going to take a lot of getting used to. It's messing with my balance, and when I look around, I get the feeling I'm about six inches taller. Same thing when I'm driving -- my perception is that I am sitting higher. I'm not sure how that happens.

Steps down and curbs take extra thought and care. And the windows on my computer screen are no longer rectangles, they are definitely trapezoids.

No doubt my brain will adjust, but meanwhile this is just weird.

Ooh, yeah, sounds like more frequent checkups in your future, dcp!

Instead I will eat leftovers and watch What Not to Wear and not have a drink even though I really REALLY want one.

...why not have a drink?

Am trying to decide what to wear tonight--am going dancing, and it's leather night, so good excuse to wear the leather corset. OTOH, was going to a join a friend and her coworkers at another bar afterward, and leather corset (even w/jeans) is probably overkill. Hrm. I suppose I could change.

when I clicked Send I got logged out of our email system.

Ugh. Sucks.

Don't fall over, dcp!

I am so smart - that at the beginning of the week I ventured down to the basement in the other building and turned off my big heater. (I am attempting to avoid paying for this winter's heat for the rest of the year.) Now, of course, I am freezing. . . and I have a cold. Although, I don't believe that those two things are necessariy related.

I am also watching the season 1 marathon of Jericho on Sciffy and feeling a little sad.

(Rock Monster, however, looks like a Scifi CLASSIC.)

dcp, give the new glasses a chance, but if it persists through the weekend, it may be that they screwed up and gave you the wrong prescription! I know somebody that happened to, and instead they struggled along with lousy glasses for two months....

A lot of vision actually happens inside the brain. Did you know that the images that your corneas cast on the back of the eyeball are actually upside down?

Back to postponing work on my website project for school....

I am annoyed with What Not To Wear for having her with no glasses at the end. She wears glasses! t /ongoing pet peeve

ooh, i did have that happen one time, they gave me the wrong prescription glasses. i could tell right away...but they acted like i was crazy for a while. didnt go back there (though they fixede it and took half off)

They are being silly, right? Tell me they are.

I figured out by my lonesome how to take a .MOV animation file I'd made in 3D animation software, import it into Photoshop, and turn it into an animated GIF! I'm so chuffed at my success.

For my next task, world peace! Or possibly, cupcakes.

Theo, why not both world peace and cupcakes! If everyone had a cupcake, their might be world peace. Or maybe that's a coca-cola?
