I Have I(rritable)B(owel)S(yndrome)

So it turns out that my eyesight sucks now more than ever. I had an eye exam on Sunday at Sears and used my fantastic employee discount. Turns out that when I have my glasses on my left eye is at 20/200. I am so blind. My astigmatism is also getting worse. If I got glasses now they would be even larger and heavier than the ones I have now. I'm gonna spare my nose and ears the wear and tear and just get new contacts. The glaucoma test still sucks. For those of you who haven't experienced it, it is esentially a machine that blows directly into your eye. There is no way to avoid it or keep yourself from flinching. So I guess it doesn't suck... it blows! I crack myself up sometimes. That was not one of them. There is also a new computer that automatically checks your vision while you sit there completely passive. It doesn't get it quite perfect, but I still think it's cool.

I'm listening to Audioslave right now. Good stuff. I had an hour to spare after my exam, so I went to Tower and bought that and the new Jurassic 5 album. All good stuff. The new Steve Earle album is also really good. My dad bought that one, a few weeks ago needless to say.

On Friday I played my first show as the drummer for TPHAT, The Panda Hamburger and the Vaughn's Garlic Salsatones Amalgamation Implosion Experience. I must say that we do rock quite hard. Possibly granite. Unfortunately our members are located in Camelot, Berkeley, and Davis, so there probably won't be many shows, but I'm am hoping for a little UC Davis Picnic Day action.

And working in a large mall department store on the day after Thanksgiving is not something I would recommend.
