pull out umbrella and yell CHARGE!
Feb. 12th, 2010 12:10 pmI went to the MEEI contact lens service yesterday, and their verdict is that my prescription hasn't changed in a year and a half. This is the first time in the 19 years I've been going to eye doctors that I haven't come out needing a stronger prescription. Yay, I'm getting old!
In celebration of the fact that I can still see, I went and bought a new camera and the industrial-strength mosquito repellent the travel clinic told me I want. I didn't think I'd find industrial-strength mosquito repellent in New England in February, but EMS has it because everybody going to Haiti wants it too.
The new camera is an Olympus Stylus 9000. I want a camera I can point at things and take bad pictures with (most of the pictures I take don't come out well), and I love my ancient (and tired) Olympus FE 190. Besides, the camera store guy was trying hard to sell me a Panasonic Lumix, and I'm not interested in anything Panasonic. My parents had problems with two (or three; I forget) Panasonic DVD players in eight months and my office had problems with two Panasonic fax machines in three months.
If I do nothing else with the long weekend, I am going to clean the hell out of the kitchen. It needs a serious archaeological dig, and it's bloody well gonna get one, because I'm sick of looking at it. So there. Truth be told, I'm sick of looking at most of my apartment in the state it's in. The kitchen is the worst of it, so I might as well start there.
