Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

But really, my glasses were just much too strong!

That happened to me when I got new glasses a couple of years ago; the eye doctor said that she sees a lot of people who OVER-corrected their nearsightedness in their 20s, believing that if seeing the eye chart sharply is good, then MEGASHARP must be even better.

And then they hit their 30s (she said), and think they need bifocals, when it just turns out that their previous prescription for nearsightedness was too strong.

My nearsightedness is going the other way, too (back towards regular-sightedness), and it's *weird,* man!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Dude. You want to go out to dinner? Or a bar? Swear a lot? Something?

Go have fun with Jesse! Drink margaritas!

Happy birthday, Aimee!

Awesome news, Allyson. That's so exciting and serendiptious.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

My eye doc told me I'll need bifocals in 3 years or so--i.e. right around my 40th birthday. Sigh.

Not drinking, I am donating platelets tomorrow, so that would be bad. But maybe dinner? maybe a movie at the theater? I am on IM.

The *phone*? What, are you living in the dark ages? Can't you communicate via your brain implant like the rest of us? In your flying car?

Heh. I am willing to entertain text messages and emails as well. IM just makes me jumpy.
