speaking of eyepatches...

yesterday at the ophthalmologist i had to wear an eyepatch for a vision field test.

i almost started laughing at the thought of what i looked like. probably utterly ridiculous!

questions, questions

i really enjoy google's predictive searching, particularly ones starting in a question. should we be concerned that things like, "why is my poop green" is a popular question?
