My weird uncle gave me an excellent rant title and I can't remember it. Feh.

So I'm sitting waaaaaay in the back of the office quietly with the lights out, my lunch safely at my desk, and my headsets on. Because I'm trying to avoid the post-election debating that's sprung up today between the factions? Well, that's a bonus, but no. It's because my eyes are dilated and any light right about now would probably set me alight like a Commie psychic.

See, a couple weekends ago when the Co-Writer with No Beard the Longest Hair came to put up with visit me, he was helping me get unstuck from some video games, and I couldn't read the text on the screen. Not because it was kana, but because I just plain couldn't. And I think I scared the bicrurial accoutrements off him driving us around because I couldn't see the distance between traffic cones. So I decided I needed to have this looked into.

Oboy, did my prescription change.

My left eye ain't good for shit anymore, but at least that can be attended to. This would account for lack of depth perception, which will relieve many people. New contacts are on order, and it was time for new glasses. I never ever wear them in public 'less I gotta, but these bitches are old. I can't stand doing anything even remotely reasonable when it comes to what I put near my eyes, so I've gone the Marwood route with my new choice of frames. (If you don't understand, don't worry about it, you'll never see 'em anyway.)

Tonikaku, I'm on the old stuff for the next few days, and when I get back from Nekocon I shall have a new outlook. Or at least be able to tell what I'm doing to my poor robots.

If you have been, that's that.
