I can see clearly now

I can see clearly, yes, much clearer than with my old glasses, but my depth perception is all whacky right now. Outer Vision called me today to say that my prescription safety goggles were ready to be picked up, so I drove over there after work and got my new goggles. It's amazing how crisp and clear my vision is now. It's taking me a while to get used to it, but I can see and read so many things now that I couldn't before! My goggles are pretty nifty. And big. Luckily, the prescription on my current glasses is okay for now, and I can still use them to drive, but as soon as I get insurance I'm getting new glasses with my new prescription. Or contacts. I think I'm going to get contacts. That way I can wear sunglasses because the sun in Charleston is practically blinding to me and that's not a good thing when I'm in the driver's seat.

I got to see The Happening last night with Calvin. I think I liked the movie. I'm not sure. I passed judgement way too quickly on Lady in the Water, a movie that I currently like, so I think I'm going to have to see The Happening again before I reach my verdict. That won't be until it comes out on DVD. I will say that it was interesting and that for a good third of the movie, I had to hide my eyes because I was too scared to watch the screen. And then Darren and Kim aren't home, so when I went to bed, it was extra creepy, so I curled up next to Darren's Louisville Slugger after dead bolting and securing both doors. I liked the idea behind the movie, and Marky Mark's character was a little deadpan but oddly funny and adorable. The lines came off a little stiff, in my opinion, and I think that a Director and Author as great as M. Night Shyamalan could have finessed them a little more to make them flow better. But, like I said, I'm not giving my verdict just yet.

My plan today is to skive off of Ladies' night with Kim's friends - I'm just not in the mood, plus I have things I want to get done. Really important things, like taking a nap or watching one of the two movies I rented this weekend, There Will Be Blood and No Reservations. Or maybe getting into my new book, Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy. And then cooking dinner...maybe dirty rice, maybe spaghetti...maybe leftover mac and cheese. So many possibilities!
