I picked up my new contacts on Tuesday afternoon. Much, much better than the first attempt. I'm still having issues under low lighting conditions, but the constant blurriness while my eyes keep trying to focus and unfocus has gone away. So far, so good.

I also finally managed to get a haircut. I was long overdue for that. Pictures soon.

So, after missing her initial...

Somehow, a nasty little virus managed to slip past my computer's defenses, and has spent the past few days wreaking all sorts of havoc on my shit. After numerous attempts to get rid of it, I finally said "Fuck it" (amongst a sea of other curse words) and decided to wipe the hard drive and reinstall Windows.

I copied over all of my important stuff...

I decided that the headaches and fuzzy vision weren't worth the convenience of not having to wear glasses, so I took the contacts out and scheduled a follow-up visit. The doctor decided that the prescription wasn't strong enough (no shit) and ordered a pair of trial lenses for me with a new prescription. When those arrive, I'll wear them for a few days and see...

So I got contact lenses yesterday, which turned out to be a much bigger ordeal than it should have been. My appointment was for 8:00am, right when the place opened, and I got there at about 7:45. With a Jamba Juice next door, I grabbed an oh-so-delicious breakfast smoothie and sat in my car reading a magazine while I waited for the place to open....

Sweet boiling buckets of fuck, I'm pissed off.

Somehow, my National City debit card was used at a place in Indianapolis called the Steel Pony Saloon on July 25th. I had a little over ten bucks in the account, since I no longer use it actively, and the two charges put me into the negative, which resulted in overdraft fees, of course.

Now, the problem...

I honestly don't think I can say anything about "The Dark Knight" that would even begin to do it justice. It is so much more than the finest comic-to-film adaptation ever made. It's a dark, gritty crime drama, full of superb performances and brilliant writing, that just happens to feature a guy in a bat costume.

Seriously. Go see it. If you're not completely blown...

My roommate, who is affectionately referred to as "Asian Dave" in order to differentiate from other Daves, has lived in Arizona his entire life, and thus has little to no experience with any sort of weather that isn't consistently warm. He decided to come out to the Half Moon with us on Sunday evening, and on the way there, he happened to notice my ice-scraper,...

It's 101 degrees outside right now. The sun is shining, there's a light breeze, and it feels fantastic. I love Arizona.

Dave and I hit up the Warped Tour last week, and even though we had to put up with intense heat and an unprecedented number of douchebaggy scene kids, it was a pretty good time. Story of the Year put on a surprisingly energetic...

George Carlin died today, at age 71.

That's really sad. He was one of the most intelligent and insightful comedians to ever grace the stage, and a personal favorite of mine. He shall be sorely missed.

So it's been a little more than a month since I arrived back here in Phoenix.

I've settled comfortably into my new home, despite the fact that it gets insanely warm in my bedroom and no amount of ventilation seems able to drop the temperature to match the rest of the house. I don't spend nearly as much time on the computer as I used...

It's been a long time since I posted an AIM convo, but this one was totally worth it.
