You know that feeling you get sometimes, where you just have to watch a certain film?
I need to watch L.A. Confidential right now.

Who wants it?
We are limited, not by our abilities, but by our vision
I’m short-sighted and usually wear contact lenses. Not for any vain reason, but because
- I hate the feeling of glasses constantly sitting on the bridge of my nose
- I feel really vulnerable with my only way of seeing properly being some metal and plastic clipped to my head.
I went to order some new contact lenses today, but I need an annual checkup before they’ll let me have any more, and I can’t get an appointment for 14 days. I have 11 sets of contact lenses left. I’m going to have to ration them for a couple of weeks.
But, because I don’t wear my glasses that often, I haven’t had the lenses changed for a couple of years, even though my vision has gotten a bit worse. The glasses are still pretty good, but they’re not as good as my contact lenses, so I feel a bit weird wearing them all day.
I’m going to go to the opticians tomorrow morning and try some new frames, but I’m not sure if it’s worth me getting lenses fitted, as I could find out in a couple of weeks that my vision has changed again and that I’ll need new lenses.
But I want to be able to see clearly right now!
I think I’ll just get the lenses as soon as possible, because it will at least be better than what I have at the moment.
Hopefully, they’ll let me take a few sets of frames home for a few days, so that I can spend hours in front of the mirror and computer seeing which ones I prefer. I might even put some photos up here and ask for people’s opinions.
I hope people with good vision appreciate it (can you imagine being able to see the time on the alarm clock as soon as you wake up? That would be so sweet!). And I hope that people with vision defects are better prepared than me.
And I hope I can blag a few more contact lenses from them tomorrow.
Seriously, if I hear ONE MORE firework, I’m going to have to start drinkin…
BE RIGHT BACK!

Can you believe I’ve had this tab open for nearly 48 hours now, but haven’t watched it yet?
Look at that image! What the hell is the matter with me?
Lost — Season 2 Intro
Remember the first time you saw this?
That was something, wasn’t it?
obscure offering or cryptic threat
Sometime last night this strange bundle of duct tape bound wood was deposited before our front door. All day, I have anticipated a friendly message claiming credit for this gift, but it is early evening now and its origin and meaning have yet to be revealed.
When I was at uni, some of my flatmates left a bundle of twigs and some pieces of raw beef on the floor of my room.
We’d all been to see The Blair Witch Project the night before.
Just saying.
“Aren’t you a little short for a stormtrooper?”
