I have a new eye. Okay, new lens IN the eye. I have early onset of cataracts from a medication I’ve been taking since I was in my early twenties. Nice, eh? Clear up your lungs, but how about some cataracts with those cortisteroids? What’s amazingly cool is how my vision has changed now. Below is a fairly accurate image of the change.
In one eye, things are blue and sharp and awesome. In the other, it looks like it did in Fort Collins during the High Park fire. Another three weeks and I’ll be rockin’ the vivid colors in both fronts.
I haven’t done much writing lately because of the eyes and because I’m getting one of my Ph.D. application packets completed. Writing samples, letters of recommendation, ordering transcripts. On top of that, I have to finish a grant for the Literacy Center and finish some observational coding for the game. My break is pretty much over. Oh well.

The 3rd to the last Fringe episode airs tonight. Looking forward to it but sad as well. What in the heck are the Bishops going to do? There’s a reset coming and because this is Fringe, they won’t shy away from it. How will the show end?
Arrow is getting incredibly good. It needs to come back from hiatus. NOW. Wonderful writing. You can feel this show is going somewhere. They’re planting seeds all over.
American Horror Story. WTF, I love you? Jessica Lange is so full of winning!
Downton Abbey, hmmm. Not sure what to think. Seems to have lost its magic. Why the heck does Mary come across as some kind of crazy gold-digger? They also need to get Mr. Bates out of jail. He’s boring in Jail. He needs to be in the house where he can put the snotty servants in their place.

This is 40 was hilarious.
Need to see Django.
Need to see Zero Dark Thirty. I’ve been a huge Katherine Bigelow fan since Near Dark. Yes, once upon a time Vampires were Vampires. I smell a vampire post coming on, one dedicated to the vampires of literary and movie past that don’t suck.
