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

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 »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 »Roommate Solution
So, the roomie didn't take the job, so we're stuck together for the near future.. 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 »Eurotrip or How I learned to stop worrying and love flying internationally.
So, let's start at the beginning. I flew out from LaGuardia airport in NY. Since, I used mileage I had crappy flights and had a connection in Boston. Go »

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