  • I apologize to any coworkers I scared the crap out of today

    You may recall that last May I had my eyes lasered into occular perfection. It was a great experience, and the left side of my life has been radically changed for the better. The right side, however, has been driving me batty. The vision in my left eye is so amazing and cyborgy that anything…

  • Having the left side altered this time

    If you’re reading this it means I’m over at the eye doctor (also known as The Sick Fuck* who makes references to A Clockwork Orange as he has you sedated and is taping open your eye in preparation for doing a little work on it) getting good-old Left Eye whipped into shape. I’ll be honest…

    Remember the other day I posted about the super-exiting hours I spent getting my eyes dilated, getting new lenses for my glasses, and learning the male-only meaning of the word “massive“? Well, my mom saw it and said to me later “Hey, I’ve been looking for an awesome present for your second 39th birthday this…
