re: cataracts: the doctor said the astigmatism would drive me nuts after I did the first one, but I'm not sure the insurance will cover the surgery for an eye that doesn't have a cataract. Unless they go with "My doctor said I need the other side as well," but insurance companies can be buttheads. A clear glass/reading bifocal would be an option, I hope.
re: yards: Be glad you don't live in Utah, it's a violation to let your yard go, either weedy or unwatered. Yes, this is a desert, yes, watering lawns is stupidly wasteful. But Utah wants to believe it's a lush state, where the pioneers made the desert bloom. And the past few years we've been in a drought, but so what?
Spring in Utah. It's snowing outside my office windows.
I had a crazy dream last night/this morning where a bunch of friends and I were at some kind of nature park with all kinds of wildlife (also, my group of friends included Dwayne Johnson, so thanks last night's viewing of the GI Joe movie).
Anyway, one of the things you could do at this park was play tug-of-war with a lion! Which is awesome, right?
That does sound awsesome!
That reminded me that I had a dream that I was thinking about buying a house that I had been renting (in the dream), and my neighbors and friends were Allyson and Kristin, and Adam Scott's mother. Adam Scott was going to move in with his mother, thought, and we were all close friends. The rest of the neighborhood was not so good, and I felt guilty about gentrifying. Also, I somehow got stuck on top of a tree and piled cardboard boxes while I was sleeping, and I couldn't figure out how to get down. Adam Scott was SO NICE in my dream!
Adam Scott was SO NICE in my dream!
He's nice IRL, according to people I know who have interviewed him.
He's in a vodka ad right now with Alison Brie and while it doesn't make me want to buy vodka, it REALLY makes me want to go to whatever party they're shopping for!
That's good to hear! It was so much fun, living next to him, and Allyson and Kristen! Even if my house was sort of a dump!
Random question: Does the world really need antibacterial Q-tips?
The antibacterial stuff is to keep the Q-tips "fresh", not to disinfect your ears.
There's a marathon of S1 X-Files on Chiller today. I wish I didn't know that.
I have the boxed set of X-Files next to my desk at home, I'm happy.
