2 Minute Drill

I went to the optometrist yes­ter­day and am try­ing out con­tacts. It has been about three years since I last wore con­tacts. I stopped because of weight­ing prob­lems. They’d always spin around and not fit cor­rect­ly. So far these new guys are work­ing well. We’ll see how they stand up to a day in front of the com­put­er though. The doc also put diala­tor in my eyes, mak­ing me look like some sort of whacked out David Bowie or mar­moset. That stuff makes your eyes real­ly real­ly tired.

I heard that Martha Stew­art got out of jail. I’m hap­py for that because I saw this Jean-Claude Van Damme movie last night where he was in jail and jail does­n’t seem like a very nice place. I bet Martha is a lot tougher now and we’ll see that change reflect­ed in her home designs. Ful­ly con­crete rooms all paint­ed in grey/green, spoons that dou­ble as files or tun­nel dig­ging instru­ments and who could for­get the one-piece jump­suit to facil­i­tate wrestling with your cell­mate. Rowr.

I’m slight­ly peev­ed because my attempts at involve­ment are being test­ed already. Next Tues­day I’m sup­posed to go in for train­ing for Rocky Riv­er Sta­bles, but that same night, at the same time, my block club is hav­ing its month­ly meet­ing and Joe Cim­per­man is going to be there to talk with us. I think I’m going to call up the sta­bles and see if I can rearrange a train­ing ses­sion, because I’m lean­ing toward the block club meet­ing, so I can meet Cim­per­man and get a bit bet­ter feel for the guy and his ideas for his ward.
