Straight up, you know you are jealous of my sweet new slippers from Roses department store! These bitches are off the hook solid slipper goodness!
I walk as a god among men with my new slippers.
EDIT: As I typed this entry, Denise called to me frantic from the bathroom. I ran in. She'd left a faucet running and the floor was a pool of water. Guess what the first casualty was. That's right. My new slippers. Seriously. Why does my life work this way? Oh sweet sweet slippers of yore, would that I could take it back and never rush in to help my frantic wife and her damnable siren-like plea!
Well, when I started this entry they were really good slippers. :-(

Will,
Take comfort in knowing you are clearly not the first of your kind. Indeed, I've found clear photographic evidence in a Cracker Barrel that your kind has plagued us for many decades, at least!

So, I got the Bzzt Bzzt treatment in my eyeballs. Life is clearer now. Of course, it would've been a more pleasant experience had I chosen to do it on a weekend (I got it done on Friday) when I wasn't also sick...and when Denise wasn't also sick...and Cadence wasn't also sick.
Basically, I waited til the house was a festering pit of germy grossness and then got elective surgery on my eyes. Not brilliant, but not disastrous either. Even with that being the case, I am incredibly happy with the results.
My vision was corrected to 20/30 (my left eye is just weak and can't be corrected to better then that). I can see far away and up close, though I'm having to re-learn how to focus up close. Right now I get head aches if I read too long. In the past, my eyes naturally focused up close for me, with my new corrected vision, i have to do the work myself, like a normal person. It's interested how that can be taxing. It's getting better every day, though, and my eyesight is GREAT!
Shameless plug: If you want it done, I can highly recommend Lasik Plus. Tell them I referred you so I can get a little kick back. :)

Nice new business: $100,000. Pretty wooden door with placard: $130. Using Babelfish instead of hiring a real translator: Priceless.
Sometimes you need a picture to prove it's true.

So, I think I have something broken deep inside me in that I'm quite excited that I've written a shell script that adds new entries to my blog and calls up the text editor for me to modify them after creation. Plus, the script now makes each entry second-specific.
"Second-specific?" you ask. Yes. You see before, when I added a new entry I named it something like "2007_02_09_21_53_00.html" which basically says the entry was created on Feb 9th, 2007 at 9:53pm and "00" seconds. But NOW it will say something like "2007_02_09_21_53_12.html" which tells me that it was created 12 seconds into the 53rd minute! You see, when I named it before, I was really only typing it and just didn't care about the seconds, but with my new shell scripty goodness, I can have second-specificity without even trying. As Paris would say, "That's so hawt".
See, I'm broken inside. :-(

I haven't blogged in a while and yet this is all I'm offering in this entry? I should be ashamed of myself.
