The goggles, they do nothing...
by Scott Horowitz on August 3, 2006

On, July 7, I had LASIK Vision Corrective Surgery. On, July 8, when I woke up I could see... it was awesome.

The pre-op and post op of the surgery took longer than the actual process. No pain, the worst part is smelling your eye burning.

My eye was healing real well, but of course, I do stuff to fuck it up. On Sunday, I was assembling boxes I bought from Staples for my move. As I was seperating the perferated edge, the box snapped up and I hit myself square on the left eye. It was very blury, and I had trouble seeing. Got really scared, so i decided to go to the emergency on call doctor.

Luckily, I only scratched my cornea.. nothing major, just had to be put on an anti-biotic to prevent infection, but it was a scary experience.


My dad who waited for me got to see the whole surgery on a TV screen. I wanted a copy of it, but they don't record the process.

I wonder what kinds of jokes laser-surgeons hear. "Can you take that tattoo of my ex-girlfriend's name off my cornea?"

So, uh, what does a cooking eyeball smell like, anyway?

Smells a bit like burning plastic actually... I still want that DVD

Been a busy few weeks

Wow, don't you hate it when life catches up. My new job is going great, busy as hell. I have also learned more about sales tax than I ever thought I would need to know, and programming software to do this is a pain. Go »

The Flight from hell

So, here's the story from my flight back from England. I flew back from Gatwick airport, which was a blessing in disguise because Heathrow was a nightmare. The people I was traveling with all had earlier flights than me, and since we had to check out of the hotel, I just went to the airport early. Go »

Karaoke

So, last night a few friends and I got together and went to a Karaoke Bar on Christmas Eve (what else will Jews do). We're sitting down enjoying a few beers, then my friend goes. "I think Eli Manning just walked in and sat next to you". Go »

Moving is not that bad

all moved into my new place. Getting cable was not too bad, and my couch comes next Friday. In other news, I get a letter from my rental agency, it seems they misquoted me on rent, they over stated by $69/month, so I got a check for $138 from them... Go »

My Boss

So, I've been at my new job for a little over 4 months now. I have to say I am very happy there, and one of the main reasons is my boss Jim. The main thing I like about Jim is the fact that when I do something good or important, he'll say "Good Job" or "Thanks a lot". Go »

Viva La Liberacion

Today is Liberation day. I brought a suit case to work with me and am moving into my new apartment after work today. Moving the rest of the furniture this weekend, I can't wait. Go »
