Look Ma', No Glasses!
This past week, I finally caved in and decided to get contacts. I have been wearing glasses for the past seven years, and have been hesitant to get contacts. But after my recent visit to the optomotrist, my eye doc persuaded me to give them a try. While some of you might be wondering why I'm writing about such a blah topic such as contacts, here's my reasoning.
Even though the topic of contacts themselves might not warrant a conversation, my application of them would. You see, since I can't move, I'm unable to put them in myself. This the the biggest hurdle for me to jump, or roll over, as I came to my contact solution. So my dad has graciously decided to volunteer to be my contact installer. I can feel your hesitation as you read this, so I'll go over his qualifications:
- He wears contacts himself, so he knows the procedure
- He's in construction, so he must be good with his hands
- He's stuck a plastic tube down a hole in my throat when I had a trach, so he good with medical proceedures
Sold? Good. Because I'm going to ignore the fact that his hands feel like they're coated with sand paper and can cut my contacts or eyes at any moment. And to even get some additional practice, the eye doc let him put the contacts in and out a few times before we left. After the first week, so far so good. I haven't lost them or got my eye slashed. Check back later for pics. Now that I don't have glasses to cover my eye brows, I might have to do something about my emerging uni-brow. I guess I'm going to have to cave in again and do some "man-scaping..."
The Holy Grail for Geeks Everywhere!
Someone better call Indiana Jones and tell him the Holy Grail has been found and it wasn't in the Temple of Doom! It was actually on the Jimmy Kimmel Show. During a recent visit, Megan Fox revealed her little-known talent, DRAWING COMIC BOOK CHARACTERS! I never thought it existed, a woman with exotically good looks, a love for comics and an ability to draw! It's the thing geek fantasies are made of. Think I'm yanking your chain? Check out the video.
New Guilty Pleasure: My Brute
I just stumbled across a new internet game, My Brute. You basically create a fighter and put it in matches. It is more like an RPG since you don't fight, you just build up their attributes. I already downloaded the iPhone app to keep track of my brute, GimpyDevil. I have a feeling it's going to take up all my break time. Click the link below if you want to make your own brute.
