March Madness

Today was an eventful day.

I cut out a hamper's netting and glued it to a picture frame to create an earring hanger. I've been dying to be craftsy.

Went on a trip to Costco with my sister who is home for Spring Break. I ended up spending 2 hours in the optometry department. I got a new contact prescription. One eye actually got better and the other stayed the same. I have astigmatisms in both eyes, although both are minor!

My optometrist, a very interesting fellow, he had plenty of jokes. He asked an Indian girl about arranged marriages, and she told him, "I don't know why people always ask about that. My sister married a Mexican fellow 10 years ago and they've already started talking to her." Apparently he dropped out of UCSD and spent 6 years trying to get back on track and into Opt school.

Also told me to look up Minnesota Cryptosporidium. Maybe it was Milwaukee. Not sure. But sewers in the area flooded and contaminated drinking water leading to a mystery sickness in the local populace.

This should be reminding you of the movie The Crazies.

I bought flowers for my cousin, her birthday was earlier this month. Which reminds me that I forgot about my twin cousins' birthday! :(

Gah, we met her at the mall handed over the flowers and headed to the Mac Store. I wanted to buy a video output device to my macbook so I could set up my TV as a display. I asked the "Genius Bar" what I needed, because I honestly didn't know how to go about it. The jerk behind the desk gave me both female outputs without any info. He said, "Yep, that's all you need." The douche bag could have at least told me I need another video cable to connect that adapter from my macbook to the TV. I had to figure it out on my own. Honestly, if you don't know something just say so! I even showed the bastard pictures of where I needed it to go in, and brought in my macbook. Stupid mofos.

Anyways, I came home eyes still dilated. I imagine anyone who saw me thought I was on drugs. Or possessed. I wanted to go on a walk, I got 2 houses down before my mom popped her head out and asked where I was going. I didn't have the energy to argue with her so I convinced her to come walking with me as far as the swings at the park. There were a bunch of kids already there so we doubled back across the soccer field. I had a very nice conversation with her about life. She's worried about rape, I'm worried about spirituality... like two peas in a pod.

I'm glad I organized the house at the end of last fall. I enjoy knowing where to go to find what I need. Like video cables, in the hall closet underneath the boxes with vacuum accessories, loads of cables and wires in there :D
