So back in early December I had an eye infection that started in the tear duct and had to do two rounds of antibiotics because fuck doctors. During the second round I ended up getting a pretty large floater in my eye and was getting flashes of light in the corner for two days. So since then the floater has faded a little but I have noticed I am constantly blinking to clear the blur out of my eye that has nothing to do with the floater just so I can read or even watch TV. I get to a family doctor yesterday who recommends I go see an optometrist immediately in the morning. First appointment I could get was at noon today, Within 20 mins of that appointment they are on the phone and calling to get me in to an emergency laser surgery for a pretty serious retinal tear. They were concerned that I could detach the retina at any moment. I have been walking around on the verge of going blind in one eye for almost two months. Working out and doing the stuff I do at work were considered high risk at this time too, Who knew? Anyway It's fixed, | |

every once in a while i nail it in the fashion department (see: hat) but generally i'm flailing and barely have it together. if i was a dude i would have that shit so on lock. probably pull some Erik Satie shit, get 12 identical velvet suits and stick to that for life. | |

also there's a difference between people that mindlessly echo the homogenized stereotypical hipster look bc they're unoriginal and people that are genuinely artistic and creative and experiment with eclectic garments and styles. | |

How exactly does a hipster dress? What I mean to say is, when you really get down to it, how is calling someone or something "hipster" not the same as saying, "hey, look, that's not 'normal?'" I admittedly use the word, but mostly in self mockery, but I'm pretty sure that at its base, it is a reactionary mechanism to stamp out that which threatens the status quo-- and I don't know about you, but that's not really the type of meme I'm looking to propagate. | |

I've been listening to Death Throes of the Republic again because Dan Carlin is my spirit animal, and he talks about Julius Ceaser being a member of the 'smart set'. How he would wear his tunic loosely belted around the waist and extend his robes down to his wrists with frills. He took conventional male dress, turned it a little fem and became the adoration of the young cool nobles. | |

Mainly was just using it very broadly. About jeans specifically, looser than normal used to be normal, now tighter than normal is. |

Carpenter jeans are the ones with that extra set of big pockets, presumably for storing tools. | |

made the mistake of asking my calculus tutor what religion he is (hey he said he got baptized and he's russian so i thought maybe i met my first eastern ortho). dude is hardcore fundamentalist pentacostal. why is it so easy for engineers to call evolution and cosmology bad science? |

ofc it is. until they volunteer information. he said "i got baptized" so i said "in what". kinda standard. the problem was that i forgot that people who volunteer religious information tend to love talking too much about it. |

So I'm staying in an apartment for a couple of nights, kids free break in a nice little town. We decide to eat in and fancy some steaks so I head out to the local butcher. I really like going to small local butchers and chatting with the guy about what's good and how best to cook it etc. I just miss them and they're closed so I go to the supermarket instead, a little disappointed . | |
