So, as I was about to turn off the TV I zapped onto an episode of Little House On The Prairie. The family is sitting at the dinner table. Mary is holding her head like she is in pain. They ask her what’s wrong. She says that it’s just her eyes that are tired. If I remember correctly, she went blind right? Oh yes.<\/p>\n

It occured to me the other day that I may never play computer games again. I was playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky when this all started. I had enjoyed the previous Stalker game a lot, but I was having a hard time getting into this. I remember having difficulties with the map. I wasn’t sure why, it just didn’t feel the same. I guess it was my eyesight getting worse. By now I wouldn’t even dream of loading up a game. It just wouldn’t work. It’s too bad, cause I have a backlog of games I’d like to play. Fallout 3. Far Cry 2, Dead Space, Grand Theft DRM 4. Who knows if I’ll ever get to any of them. I say that I hope my eyesight will get better, but I don’t know how much I believe it anymore. I guess I will be lucky if it doesn’t get worse. Maybe in a month I won’t be able to use the computer at all. Maybe in 6 months I’ll be blind. But what can you do. I never planned to live forever.<\/p>\n

I’m really getting tired of it. Seeing the world as one big blur. <\/p>\n

But it’s not all bad.<\/p>\n

The goat boys. They are as beautiful as everything else seems to be ugly.<\/p>\n

He’s starting to grow a little mane, the darkheaded guy. It’s hard to tell on the picture. But he’s probably trying to grow a big mohawk.<\/p>\n

They are managing to get up on the bench by themselves now. They still can’t quite jump up there. But they’ll get their front legs up and then as much of their upper body as possible. And then they will sort of pull themselves up. It looks quite funny. And it doesn’t always work. Sometimes they’ll come tumbling down on the ground instead. It never takes long before they try again though. And it’s nice when they make it. I end up with both of them jumping into my lap. And then things aren’t so bad, for a while at least.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow is new episode of Lost. I have stopped watching it on the TV. Lost is a show where you need to pay attention to the details. I can’t see the details when I watch TV anymore. I watch it on the computer now where I’m closer to the screen. So that’s what I’ll do tomorrow. And I will probably have to go to my brother’s place too. His internet is out and I have to take a look at it. So that means squinting at tiny letters on a tiny laptop screen. Great fun.<\/p>\n

I’ll be waving as you drive away.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
