every day's a new dumb adventure

the red eye.

i don't remember the last time i had an eye exam. although i do remember that they told me my eyes were 20/20 perfect. that is good news, except the time before that it was some other set of numbers that were above perfect. translation, they were deteriorating. and well, it's probably been 5 years since I've had an exam, so who knows what's happened since then.

i bring this up now because lately, my eyes have been killing me. absolutely killing me. it doesn't really help that i sit in front of the computer about 18 hours a day, and that the lighting in our house is really dim (not to mention randomly peachy colored - i blame the ikea bulbs). and that it's been this routine for the last four years.

i used to really want glasses (no really, i wanted them so badly i had a fake pair in college), but now i think the idea sucks.

ps. i got a safety deposit box today. it was sort of random. i was there for other stuff and then the next thing i knew, i was getting a box. i wanted to take a pic in the vault, but they seemed to frown on that idea.

Oh, yeah, I totally had supervision. Then I started making the internet. This helps me a bit with eyestrain, as long as I don't just hit "skip" each time it pops up. Also, make sure there aren't glaring sources of light in your peripheral vision and that your monitor brightness is as dim as possible.
And if you cave and get glasses, check out Lafont frames, I think you'd like them.
