Yesterday was interesting. I had a feeling that my eyesight might have been on the wain and it was interesting to hear about the eye problem that had been dogging me for a while (it seems I have a cyst on my left eye, which makes itself painfully known if I am under stress or in smoky environs, but it can be removed with surgery – oh goody!). The delightfully sounding “eye crystals” left me feeling a little depressed. We don’t have any history of glaucoma in my family (I asked my mother when I got home), so I was a bit alarmed when the optometrist told me about my condition. Of course, it is too early to say whether I will ever develop glaucoma, but it got me a little depressed when I was having lunch in the local pub. Though saying that, I am not sure if it was the news or the fact I’d handed over all that money that made me feel upset. I don’t know – the thought of slowly going blind isn’t something that makes me feel good all over, but the upside is that at least it is non-fatal, it’ll cut down the time I spent wasting on the Internet and I’ll get a guide dog. See, there’s an upside to everything!
Anyway, when choosing my glasses, I basically left it to the assistant to choose what I wanted. I didn’t have any idea what to choose as I had never worn glasses before and I wasn’t going to piss around spending ages choosing spectacles. In the end, there was a choice between “ageing geek” and “paedophile teacher” – the choice was simple, “ageing geek” won by a country mile. Oh how snazzy I’ll look walking Alex the Wonderdog in my new glasses. People will point and stare and say: “He’s an ageing geek”. Oh yes. Just got to wait for them to be made now.
Caught the teaser clip from the new Doctor Who episode to be shown at Christmas. It was OK. Not sure how long it will take me to warm to David Tennant as I thought Eccleston nailed that role and was easily my third favourite Doctor (after Baker and Davison). Yup – I’m an ageing geek.
In the post: something returned from one of my eBay sales. The little scrote said the item didn’t work, but it did when I sent it out as I had tested it. Every year I get one negative mark from some eBay wanker and I think that this is my eBay wanker for the year. Ho hum!
Had a dream in which Alex the Wonderdog appeared to be having puppies. Of course this is nonsense because he is a piss-licking, shit-rolling, boy dog…nay, a MAN’s dog. In the dream, somehow a Westie bitch had secreted herself inside Chez Lock and was pumping out little white puppies at the rate of knots, turning the house into something like 101 Dalmations (except they were Westies). Alex was none too pleased. Can’t remember what really happened, but after much hunting and pup-wrangling, I found the bitch living in our swimming pool (hey, told you it was a dream) giving birth to more puppies whilst being pleasured by a large brown dog, possibly a Staff or something else. Weirdness, pure weirdness. I am sure it means something to someone.
