It's Just A Story, Dear, No Need For Pills

She saw the headlights reflect off the stone wall before the Rolls Royce turned the corner. She stepped out into the narrow lane. Taking a breath, she prepared herself. The car was almost there. She turned her head up to the sky, found the moon, and stared.

The mission was only to last one year. One year at the very most. Then he would come for her. She didn't know that night, with her bare feet bleeding, her black dress in tatters, that she would be living in South Chile for seven.

You Know Uru

I've been playing Uru - Ages Beyond Myst.

It's nice. The visuals are great, the sound is fine, and the concept is intriguing... but what's the point? It's like looking at a sci-fi art book. The puzzles aren't fun, only annoying... and once you leave the entrance level, you have no guidance whatsoever. Just a vague concept of putting your hand on seven magic pieces of cloth hanging here and there.

It gets really stupid when they say there are seven journeys (that's what they call their magic cloth) in the desert... it's supposed to be something ancient, and yet one of them is hanging off the back of an RV and another on the back of a no trespassing sign.

My advice: Never play this game.

I went out for lunch with Mom but I arrived at her work way too early. I had to sit in the car and watch tons of people heading off for their own lunch breaks. That's when they all turned into birds. It was weird.

A flock of seven came out and walked together down the side of the building. They seemed to be going too far. In a very choreographed manner, five of them raised their hands and pointed out into the parking lot, and with a single move, the flock changed directions. Then three more came out of the building. The flock of three spotted the flock of seven. The leader put her fingers to her lips and gave a loud whistle. The flock of seven turned to look. The leader of that flock whistled back. They seemed to communicate something to each other through whistles and sign language. All were agreed and then the flock of three burst into laughter and flew back into the building.

I've Got New Eyes

I've been waiting for them for three years. Nothing. Then I saw my opportunity and jumped at it.

I knew that my glasses weren't as effective as they used to be. When I read or was on the computer all day, they stopped working. I'd drive around the city, and when I stopped at the light, my vision would blur to the point I wasn't sure I could drive. Then the light would turn green and my eyes were instantly focused again. Or I sat around and when I wanted to see something I'd be able to, but if I wasn't paying attention, everything became a relaxing blur. My thoughts were that my eyes were just lazy. They didn't want to work out all day... like me. Haha.

Mom broke her glasses the other day. I talked her into an exam first, before just buying a new pair with her old perscription. Her appointment was today. We went up there, and I caught a glance at the sign. Buy one, get one free.

As she filled out her paperwork I said, hm, they've got that sale going on again. Buy one, get one free. She said, hm, she could get an extra frame just in case, and went back to the paper work. I said, "This could be a great opportunity," Then under my breath I finished, "to buy your daughter some new glasses."

I didn't think she heard me at first. I just kept staring at a picture featuring the back leg of a dalmatian. Suddenly she popped her head up and said, yeah, she could get some glasses for me. They squeezed me in for an appointment right after Mom. Woohoo.

So I had the exam and stuff. The doc put the machine to my eyes and told me to say yes if I could still read the bottom line of the chart. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. He was amazed. Didn't I wear glasses all the time. No, just when I read and watch tv. "Can you see me?" he asks. Yes, I can. "Clearly?" Yes. "What if you were just sitting around doing nothing? Would the room be blurry?" YES! "Dear, you are REALLY far sighted. You're going to need to wear glasses more often. You won't strain as much." Alrighty, then.

So now I've got me some glasses. A little darker frames than preferable, but still okay.
