Mrrrfle.

So, partially because I was perilously close to a fight with my sister, and partially because I was all about doing the social thing, I took Alex up on an offer of coming down to his place to watch movies, play cards, and hang out with people. Was good for awhile, and then Jen, his housemate, got a phonecall.

She's being moved from Inactive reserve to Active. Probably means she'll be called up shortly. So I spent the rest of the night helping take her mind off it.

But now that I'm home....you gotta consider the fact that even though I knew people who were sent to the Gulf War, this time I know people who are being sent to fight. And that's kinda scary.

Well, my history of odd medical responses continues.

My physical was fine. My eye exam was a little different...

My left (dominant) eye? Perfect. Exactly 20/20.

My right eye? Increasing astigmatism, which went from so minor I didn't need glasses a few years ago to a definite need for them. (Explains my occasional headaches.) But, it's 20/15.

Yes. Farsighted.

Despite the fact that people who do what I do with computers almost always develop nearsightedness.

Oh, well. At least the frames I picked out are really cool, and will be shipped to me at school. (And I can even get the same frame with colored lenses if I decide I want prescription sunglasses.)

Little changes...

So, Fox news, in their usual unbiased reporting style, is advertising the 'Smackdown on Saddam'.

My brain started freeassosciating at that point, because they ran a commercial for the WWE/F/Whatever.

TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONIGHT! The Rock parachutes into Baghdad to bring the People's Elbow down on Saddam Hussein, in what will be! The Mother! Of! All! CAGE-MATCHES!

I maybe should have gotten more sleep.

Mmmmm. Reading Robin Wood's The People of Pern. So. Pretty. So beautiful. I love her art. Even though I own one of her pieces, I so want more. And this book is amazing.

Though, I have to wonder. Menolly, Lessa, Sharra, Nerilka, are all described as 'plain', 'unpretty', or 'unattractive'. Yet when Wood paints them, I see incredibly beautiful women, and McCaffrey's personalities make them quite vibrant and attractive.

Odd.

Going over to Alex and Jen's again, it looks like. Leaving in a few minutes, should be fun, back later.

Social life good? Yeah. I think.

Went to Alex and Jen's. Alex and I treated her to ice cream and Italian food, then returned to play Munchkin and Star Munchkin!

It was a ton of fun. And then we went to war.

So...yeah. We'll hope for a fast war, and a long peace. But will it last? I dunno.

Also, Jen is evil. It's one thing for a nice lesbian to use you as a pillow. But for her to then launch a massive tickling attacks? FOUL, EVIL WOMAN! Particularly since I bought her the ice cream. Dammit!
