So I've decided what I'm going to spend my income tax refund on this year. Well, depending on how much I actually get back from those money-grubbing bastards. Depending on how much my refund is, and how expensive it ends up being, I'm going to look into having my eyes zapped into compliance.

I'm tired of glasses. I'm tired of having to put the damn things on just to see whether that fluffy thing I just stepped on while stumbling to the bathroom at 3 am is a cat or a towel. I'm tired of having to try and see around the scratches and gouges in my lenses. I'm tired of having to live with the same old pair of scratched and gouged glasses because to replace the fuckers would probably cost something around $500-$600 thanks to a lack of insurance. And I figure for the price of two pair of glasses (one for regular and one for Z0MGBRIGHTLIGHTWHATISTHATTHINGINTHESKYITBURNSUSPRECIOUSSSSSSSS) I can not have to deal with that shit.

The last time I had an eye exam I was told by the optometrist that I was an "ideal candidate" for LASIK. Granted, that was a couple/three years ago, and pre-T. I've heard anecdotal evidence that T can alter your eyes, but I haven't noticed any changes in my vision in the last 2 1/2 years.

On a somewhat related note, anyone out there know if I need to contact my old employer in Tacoma and let them know of my address change, or will my W2 from them be forwarded to my new address? *ponder*

Oh yeah? What was it like? How long was your recovery? Did you have any restrictions during the recovery (you know, no night driving, limited exposure to direct sunlight, stuff like that)? How bad was your eyesight before you got pewpewpewed? Am I being annoying yet? How about now?

well...this is my runin with the lasik machine :P

I had really bad astigmatism, and so i have almost perfect vision now. i wear glasses now to make things crisper, but everyone else i've heard who has gotten this has never needed glasses again. im a special case because my head is dumb.

I FORGOT TO SAY

that even though my encounter with the machine is lskdjflskdfjd, i DID do it again for a touchup, and it wasnt as bad. I think I was just really scared and freaked myself out muchly.

DO IT I've heard so many good stories. And I'm happy because even if I lose my glasses, I can still see! Just not as far away :P

Huh. That doesn't sound too bad...I guess. The whole seeing without glasses thing though? Yeah, fucking awesomesauce.

In other news, WTF is a tamago???

[meowmeowbutt.livejournal.com]

tamago is sweet egg sushi! lol did i say that somewhere?

[mrmikeyman.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it was at the bottom of the entry. You told some poor "mothertrucker" he was going to have to taste it. Sounds pretty vile to me, but then again I abhor nasty icky fish stuff. *pleh*

[meowmeowbutt.livejournal.com]

Oh no, there's no fish in tamago actually. It's just egg, rice, and sometimes seaweed to hold it together (I have had it here in Korea and they dont wrap it)

That looks like a sponge or something. Weird.

[meowmeowbutt.livejournal.com]

ITS NUMMERS try it.

Tell you what. I ever find myself on your doorstep, or vice versa, you can forcefeed it to me. I have a hard time convincing myself to spend money on food that bears such a strong resemblance to a cleaning product, however.

KAY I will post about a real sponge that I think I ate yesterday.
