@dorkmuffin > aw dear. When I saw that though this site, I was hoping our Jeff wouldn't hear about it, now I want him to repeat this scary vomi... speech using his Alf impersonation.
Attended a user group conference in Portland, OR Wed - Fri, but got to stay at the coast Fri - Sun. Made time to go to Haystack Rock in Cannon Beach. In typical Oregon fashion, I was caught in a torrential downpour soon after this was taken.
Hard at work, this is me when we found the airconditioning. After about 4 hours of boiling. (Well, not really boiling per se - about 50 degrees celsius/122F)
After yet another couple of hours we figured out that we had a cd-player, and cd's.
New glasses. REAL GLASS! (not that blurry plastic prism sticker thing) So, do you think they are too big for my head? Are the nose pads not supposed to show? I'm allowed 30 days to decide to exchange them if I so decide, and 2 weeks remain.
While I did tweak the photo to excessively brighten it, I did NOT tweak my eyes individually. No, they dilate differently and have been changing color. It's slight, and subtle, but I swear, I'm getting one green eye and one blue. Oh, my delirium youth is wreaking it's revenge.
Last night I went and saw Star Wars In Concert, this morning I need massive amounts of coffee. Good thing I picked up a new Java Container: I won't lie, it was rather demanding for me physically, but damn, the music was so worth the effort and discomfort.
Rachael - Your glasses are quite spiff. I can't tell the color difference between irises on this monitor. I wouldn't have noticed the dilation difference had you not mentioned it. Everyone has oddities, no point in dwelling on them. My eyes have slowly been lightening since high school, and one side of my widow's peak is a little uneven, and so on. Most of the time if you don't bring attention to it, no one even cares, even if you think it's weird. It what makes us all special snowflakes, and all that.
I did notice that your eye seems significantly less crossed. Is this something that comes and goes, or has some progress been made in that front and I missed it?
NAh... it comes and goes. One nearsighted eye, one crossed eye. My glasses can only be somewhat effective, because the turn in and focus ability changes constantly.
The optician lady tried on my glasses and she freaked the fuck out: "Oh my GAAAAAD. What kind of glasses are these?! How do you SEE?!" and turning to her co-worker: I tried them on, and it was HORRIBLE!!"
oh, but you misunderstand... Between my love for Delirium and David Bowie, I'd really would love mismatched eyes. I find it amusing, because so desperately did I want one green eye in my early 20's, I cried when an eye doctor told me I couldn't get contacts.
