Marco. Polo.

The sun came out today. While I was sitting on my exercise bike.

I like when the sun peeks in on me. When the sun shines I can see the whole room. Sitting on my exercise bike I can see the bookcase at the opposite wall. With my DVD collection. I can see the big Friends box on top of the case. I can read each letter F * R * I * E * N * D * S. And I can see each letter when I look directly at it, I don’t have to look a little to the left of it. Along with my eyesight becoming a little clearer the center of my vision has improved too. It used to be that when I looked straight in the eye of a face on TV I could only barely see the eye that I looked at. Now I can see the eye and a little bit of the face to the left of it. So I see more, and I see clearer.

A lot of the time my apartment is my whole world, and it’s not that long ago that I couldn’t see from one end of the world to the other. It was like being trapped in a tiny little bubble of grey. I could barely see an arm’s length ahead of me.

This just to say that I appreciate the change. And the sunshine.

The King Of Limbs

February 15th, 2011

I hope everyone had a nice Valentine’s Day. I spent it with a couple of real sweet girls.

Grethe was feeling all better. So that was good. Other than that, it was cold. Very cold again. A little bit of snow. And they’re saying we’ll get more of it. I just want spring to come soon. I have had enough winter.

I did a little shopping after seeing the goats. And I managed to almost lose a 100 kroner bill. I was packing my goods when someone poked me on the shoulder and asked me if I’d dropped this 100 kroner note. I checked my wallet and sure enough, it was the bill that the cashier had just given me as change when I paid. I wonder how that managed to slip to the floor. But that was nice of the guy who found it, to give it back to me. “It would be a shame to leave that for the cleaning crew” he said. Indeed.

That’s about all there is to it. Also, new Radiohead album out in a few days. Holy moly. I’m looking forward to that. Even with just one eye, I’m looking forward to that.
