Ugh, I've just got back from a 2-day work trip. I'm very annoyed and exhausted and I have a bunch of tasks I have to catch up on… but they're not going to get done until tomorrow morning, if I'm lucky (I won't be, some people at work have said they need to call me which sounds like my whole morning will be phone meetings). I'm hungry and tired and I've cut (or something) the white part of one of my eyes so it's really irritated and bloodshot and has a funny lump and I want to go to bed. but I can't go to bed til I've eaten (it is cooking now, hooray microwave potato). hopefully my eye will be fine 'til I can get in to an eye doctor sometime tomorrow.

Anyway I have a ton of news waiting but because I didn't get it done tuesday night it will just have to wait til friday now. T_T

You cut something on your eyeball? That's something I would always have looked by a doctor right away. You never know what it could be.

My VA doc gave me a lot of nightmare stories about eyes, most of which weren't related to my Diabetes type II…

So booooored T_T I guess i could….read a book. But about werewolves or something, nothing educational.
New moon. Jk. The Cycle of the Werewolf by Stephen King. I don't know…

I actually was just about to post about a few books myself by…Stephen King. No not Under the Dome (yet), his older stuff that I'm just reading now. I finished The Green Mile about a week ago, the first book I've had the time to finish in a long time and I also finished On Writing…two days ago. Both were really interesting and for some reason I really want to tell people to go read him. Right now I'm reading The Shining and LOVING IT.

…that is all.

Luckily, the only things that were badly damaged were some comic books, and perhaps my bed.

I hope they compensate you. I'd be pissed if my stuff was ruined and I had to move on top of it.

My small intestine has decided to rebel against me. Ungrateful bastard.

And since this is the "Rant, Moan and Rave" thread: MMMOOOOOOOaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnn….

Yeah, but I have been out of town for 2 days and no eye doctors are open in the evening, so there wasn't anything I could do. It sounded/looked worse than it felt. I'm pretty sure it was just a tear in the little clear 'skin' layer of my eye, because the day before I'd been rubbing it a lot because it was bothering me. Mostly I was worried it would mess up my lasik somehow.

This morning I woke up though and it is completely better. No funny lump (which I assumed was the bit of torn-up layer), not all bloody looking anymore, no irritation or anything. So I think I won't bother. Leaving it alone for 24 hours seems to have done the trick.

Still have to do the phone meetings, DD news and backed up work today though. :D And go to costco if I have time…

I'd still have it checked anyway. Don't want to take chances with your eyesight. Especially since you've had your eyes cut with a laser…

Not being paranoid here. It's the advice my doctor gave me when he checked my eyes the first time.

The sclera has a lot of very visible little blood vessels. Often if the eyes are open too long, or if you're not getting enough sleep, or under stress, one or other can burst for some reason (or a tleast that is what I've always been told has happened when it happens to me). It STINGS like a cut or something that's been poked into the surface of your eye, and makes it all ugly and red around that area. It's not dangerous to vision though because it's no where near the lens, and it tends to heal up itself after a day or two.
…Like it appears to have done in your case :)

My holidays end today… back to work on Monday. Shiz -_-

Is Costco American? Most things we have here are American now, like Burger King and Starbucks and Skoolmunkee. We have Walmart too but they call it Asda here, because Walmart sounds like a place where you buy walls, or walm art…which would be sculptures made from elephant dung…or I dunno.



I need some kind of protective cover for my Wacom: my head keeps hitting it between 3-4am.

i get a holiday on monday! hooray for federal holidays! i don't know what i'd do without them.

blech, i woke up to go pee, 3 minutes before my alarm was scheduled to go off. if there's anything in this world that i truly hate, it's waking up just a few minutes before my alarm.

you know? because you realize how soon it is, and you have two options, go ahead and stay up, or just lay down until the buzzer sounds….neither of which involve sleeping (my favorite activity).

I would have thought buying massive amounts of food in a warehouse setting was about as American as you can get. Not to mention the £1.50 hotdogs.

I spent way too much there today, but I can't pass up 2kg bags of premium atlantic prawns, 20-packs of chicken breast, aberdeen angus beef, and inexpensive hard-anodised aluminum cookware. Let alone all the other stuff I bought. After a costco trip I always consider buying a separate freezer. I just have nowhere to put one.



Craaaaaap I forgot to do the newspost! Well, I'm starving, it will have to wait til after belated lunch. T_T

Bk hamburgers are the biggest from the fast food chains here, i can barely get half-way through a whopper and they have even bigger ones on the menu@_@. That's why i like wendys and in-and-out burgers, small and yummy.

Back when I was an art student, I'd buy a hamburger for lunch every day from Hungry Jacks (Aussie Burger King). I really fancied one of the girls behind the counter… But I was too shy to ask her out. :(

Then I stopped eating burgers every day because they were fricken disgusting and stared eating apples instead. >:|

——————————–

Speaking of eating, my cat is addicted to cream now. I've got some left over and thought he might like some. Turns out he LOVES it, better than milk!
He's such a picky little carnivore that it's always amazing when I find that he actually has a real taste for something.

dairy products are not really good for cats, they are lactose intolerant :]

That's not true :P

It depends on the cat and probably the milk if truth be told. But as a statement it's no more true than the old idea that they all love milk: it's a generalisation based on instances where it was true, but it's not a universally consistent fact.

-The first cat I ever had would puke if she drank milk. But not other milk products

-A few years later on with later cats, some would puke, some wouldn't… But the ones that puked only did it with milk and no other dairy product

-Still later, not one single one would puke, even cats who would formally years ago. All liked dairy products of all sorts and none had any stomach trouble what so ever.

And that's been the same ever since. SO… was it the cats, or the milk?
I have a suspicion that it was the milk, or at least the type of processing used on it. But I don't know.

It's a mystery, but cream makes a nice treat for him :)

The more fat in milk, the less lactose. so cream is better than milk (and skim milk would be worst?). I don't think cheese is a problem because things have been done to it, dunno about yogurts. OK, not all cats are lactose-intolerant, but a large percentage are. I'm just sayin', it's safer to assume it's NOT ok to feed something than to assume it is.

your cat spends most of the time outside anyway, how do you know he's not throwing up or having runny poops outside huh huuuuuuuuuuh

He wouldn't notice because he only has eyes for the girl at the fruit stall who sells him his apples every day.

Come on Ozone, ask the girl out; what's the worst that could happen? Don't spend your old age beautifully dressed and nobody to straighten your collar.:(

Burger type sandwiches… I prefer to grill mine. They're not soaked in cheap greasy oil and I can put whatever toppings I want and not worry what's in them (because I'll know what's in them. Any one know what's inside the Big Mac's special sauce?). Of course, too many burgers would be bad for you…

Damn. I'm gonna grow up to be like Ozone. TOp hatted and to make it worse, Australian, Austrian, whatever. (jk)

I finished the Shining. One of King's best yet.

They blocked DD at my school! I swear a few days ago I could go on it just fine. Now it's blocked under "games" of all things.
Now what the heck will I do in Digital Multimedia? ;)
