I have an excuse.

I was gone for a few days because our internet wasn't working. I also had an eye appointment yesterday morning. I'm actually at the library now because our internet still isn't working. So I decided to blog instead of catching up on three days of work.

So, eye doctor. I'm apparently not going to be getting new contacts until the middle of summer. They said my eyesight had improved but they didn't want to give me anything new when my eyes could very possible change over the next few months. So, I'm back in glasses for the foreseeable future. Haha, get it? ForSEEable? As in see? Hahaha, ok. I'm ticked about it. I don't want to do my senior pictures in glasses. Fuck it all. I mean, I totally understand where they're coming from, but I'm still bummed about it.

INFERNO. IF YOU'VE NEVER READ DAN BROWN STOP READING THIS BLOG, GO READ HIS BOOKS, THEN COME BACK AND READ THIS BLOG. I really enjoyed it. Less religious than his other books, which worked well for him. There were a few twists, which is to be expected, and I loved the ending. A, well done, would read again.

Speaking of reading, I'm now starting Neil Gaiman's American Gods. I read and enjoyed his book Stardust, and I had heard only good things about this book, so I'm giving it a try. Not very far in, maybe thirty pages or so, but I'm enjoying it. I'll keep you posted.

Texas (Again) and New Music

So dad apparently accepted the offer so he'll be leaving for Texas by the end of the month. I think it'll be fine. Honestly, I'm not really bothered by it either way. It's weird but things like that very rarely actually bother me. Usually I'm indifferent one way or the other. I know everyone else in my family is like freaking out about it and I'm just like, 'I bought new yarn for my project.' Which is totally true by the way, I did buy some yarn yesterday. It's a cute wool/nylon blend. I'll post some pictures soon, once I've started. I'm gauging it currently, so that make take a few days.

I've been listening to Silverstein while doing school today. Andrew from work reccommended them. We got on the subject of Canadian musicians and he said that his favorite band hailed from there, Silverstein. I had heard of them but never actually listened to them. They're very good. I wasn't aware that they were Canadian. Oh, the things you learn when you talk to your favorite person at work.

I've been reading Dan Brown's new book, Inferno, the last few days. I'm such a fan of his. When I first starting reading books other than what I found in the young adults section, his Robert Langdon books were some of the first I read. I love looking for symbols in things ever since I was a kid, so I just fell in love with everything he wrote.

I'm hoping to finish school here real soon, then I need to clean my room, do some laundry, and then hopefully curl up in my chair and read and knit till I have to get ready for work.
