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.

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

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

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 »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 »Life changes
wow, it's been a while since I wrote a blog, stupid inactivity monitor :-p So, going to be moving again in about 6 weeks, want to get out of NJ and back into NY... looking at Queens. Also, I actually have a girlfriend, will wonders never cease? 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 »Roommate Problems
So, let's talk about my life. I moved to Jersey City, because a close friend (and my roommate from college) was going to be teaching here, and it would not be a bad commute for me to work. Teaching didn't work out for him, and now he's looking for ajob. Go »

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