New specs randomocity

I've got new glasses. They're very different from my old glasses, which I had for around ten years or so. These are bifocals.

It's going to be a pain over the next few days getting used to these--I've gotten into some really bad habits to compensate for my poor vision with my old glasses, like lowering my head and holding something I was trying to read up over them and close to my face to bring it into focus. Now I need to do the opposite--tilt my head back and look down at print I'm trying to read. Like normal people. That muscle memory makes it difficult.

But I can see! It's nice to be have the world in focus once again!

Another neat thing--before I took my prescription to the optometrist I had a definite idea in mind as to the frames I wanted. I always do and I have never  found what I was looking for--some times I'd find something close, but never anything that was dead-on.

Not this time, however. I found a pair that was exactly what I was looking for. I think they are awesome. What do you think?





200th post randomocity!

Yes! This is my 200th post. Jeez, I've had a lot to say. Most of it really forgettable, I'll admit.

Spending the weekend doing some house cleaning, getting ready for a visit by my best friend and my goddaughter. I'll be the first to admit I'm not a house-keeper. I really do have a blind-spot when it comes to messes. Even other guys are shocked sometimes at the stuff I don't even notice. So, if I think something is bad, that's really not a good sign.

Artistically I don't have anything at all going on right now, other than some note-making for sequels to Seer. Ridiculous, I know, but I dig the characters and thinking about them is a pleasant way to spend some time. Even thinking about some really unpleasant things that are going to happen to them is kind of fun. Heh heh . . .

Work has been a madhouse over the past few weeks, and it's only going to get worse. I'm expecting to get the word soon as to when I'm supposed to move to Douglasville--I really need to start jettisoning some crap that I don't need in preparation for that. It's amazing the stuff I've accumulated over the years.

One thing I'm going to get rid of is my stereo--it's over 20 years old and it has a pair of enormous speakers. I realized the other day that I haven't even turned it on, the entire time I've lived here. The right speaker isn't even hooked up. I guess that means it'd be okay to get rid of it. If I can figure out what to do with it.

That's going to be my main problem--stuff I need to get rid of but can't just throw away, for one reason or another. I'll have to look into how to get rid of this falling apart love-seat, and a couple of really old computers. Among some other things.

So, that's my weekend. What's happening with you?
