My eye sight has gotten bad in recent years.  Like get in the wrong car, talk to park bench wrong.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Mine must be as well.  At first glance I thought you said "talk to the wrong park bench" :D

I was on a work trip a year ago & went out to dinner with some co-workers from different sites.  A couple of them were evangelizing the laser surgery thing, telling me I was crazy for not doing it.  Both of them had theirs done 6 or 7 years ago & raved about how much it improved their lives.  Funny thing is-- both of them had had to start wearing glasses recently "but only for reading sometimes" :yeahright:

Yeah, they tell up front that how they correct distance vision is unrelated to what causes most people to require reading glasses as they get older.

And, perhaps having a military doc do it lessened the 8-ball risk.  :P

I definitely would not have had it done by some fly-by-night discount laser center.

Meh, maybe the military docs have a leg up professionally.  I worked in hospitals: great thing about being in security, I knew where the AA and NA meetings were held.  And who attended.  :ph34r:

I could have written that sentence better.

My shits have turned all smelly and floaty. I guess 4 weeks of fast food, vending machine pop tarts and hospital food will do that to ya.

I admire you ability and desire to keep tabs on people.

I went downtown to do some shopping today. First I had breakfast at that one place (delicious smoked salmon bagels). Then I bought a new Samsonite backpack (my old samsonite starts to show wear/tear after five years . . . it lasted longer than any other backpack I had before).

Then I wento to an electronics store. Nothing interesting there, so I only bought Mortal Kombat for XBox which was on sale.

On I went to a book store where I bought Arabs - A History.

Next I visited a perfume store to replenish my supplies of Fahrenheit.

And finally I rounded it off with a steak at the Maredo on Ringstraße. It was ok.

They have a casting call today for extras and minor speaking roles in an upcoming film set in Mobtown;  I was thinking about going.

But, knowing my luck I'd probably snag a speaking part that bounces me into a series of low-profile cable roles which gets the attention Joe Gordon-Levitt and I wind up in a major production and the next thing you know I'm splattered all over Entertainment Tonight and TMZ with a domestic violence thing from my on-again off-again off-screen pseudo-relationship with Scarlett Johansson because she's not nearly as possessive as I want her to be which is so fucking depressing that I wind up with an eventual stint in rehab which would break Mom's heart.

And, on top of all that, it's raining.

So not worth the effort for 10am on a Saturday.

Thanks for mentioning that... it reminds me that I'm running low on my cologne.
