Distorted View

Dialated

So I’ve had this ‘thing’ in my eye for a few weeks now. After becoming increasingly irritated by it, I dialed up my optometrist and made an appointment to get it checked out. Luckily, I had already picked up Spanky’s dry cleaning and rinsed out his Crocs so it was no problem to bail out of work.

I went down to the office and they couldn’t see anything so they dilated my eyes and went in for a better look. After 15 minutes of examination which nearly caused me to pass out, they found a tear in my retina. They weren’t all that impressed that I had waited three weeks to get it looked at. “We’re going to get you into surgery today.” Surgery? Holy…

I was off to a specialist (who I never saw), got dilated again and then to the medical center where I met the surgeon. After almost three hours of waiting, I was in the chair. Surgery is a strong term as it’s all done with a laser but it was pretty intense. I liken it to someone arc welding inside my eyeball while they poked me with a pin. I could see my veins and my cornea. From the inside…

Anyway, it was only 5 minutes and while not terribly painful, it certainly wasn’t pleasant. In any event, I’m fine. My eye is sore and I can see the scar but apparently that will clear up.

And old age begins to take hold…

For Mom

Happy Mothers Day Mom!

Not everyone has a blogger geek for a Mom but I do.

Shaddup…

I had my third [tag]Hangul[/tag] class tonight. Damn it’s hard. I have a new perspective on people who learn English. They’re much smarter than me.

The class is actually going really well though I still haven’t learned to say “My manager smells like a goat…” Maybe next week.

The class is small but the people and teacher are nice. We’re planning on taking a week off at the end of the class and then starting on part 2 right away and we’re all in.

So it wrapped up a bit early which was a blessing as we were doing double consonants and they are simply brutal as the pronunciation changes depending on position but I digress…

I know I’m the only one who even knows that the [tag]Canucks[/tag] are playing tonight. I tried to get home as fast as I could but I always walk to the bus stop with this girl and chat until her bus comes. She’s a fellow geek and we get along well and besides Seymour is sketchy at the best of times so I don’t really mind.

Robson was eerie; it was a ghost town even for a Monday night. Basically it was just people who don’t care about hockey and cops. Lots of cops…

I managed to get home and caught the last 5:19 of the game. Good to see them win. Guess who won’t be getting any sleep tonight? It’s a freakin’ street party outside which is fine but when the party is over, go home ok? Thanks.

Sage Advice

For your first trip to [tag]Seoul[/tag]; watch and learn.

Where was this when I was planning that first trip? I had to learn the hard way…
