Random stuff:
South Park epies on Comedy Central, including the one where Lucas and Spielberg rape Indiana Jones (and later a storm trooper!).
Wheel of Fortune (which airs on a Fox! station in Hawaii!)
Most of Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls (a personal favorite!)

I think I saw this maybe once around the time of the original release.
I'm not a fan of Ace Ventura, but I might be willing to give the two
movies a second chance one day.

This is a two day catch-up. I mostly did some DVR clearing and watched:
Survivor - They didn't even bother to do a proper vote to get rid of
that one whiny guy. At one point I thought that's not fair if they were
planning to blindside someone else. But then, no they wanted that dude
gone! And were very open about it. How did he even get on the show?!?
His back story was really good. Sadly he tended to fall apart as time
went by. I don't know that they could have known he would do so poorly
in the actual game.

Law & Order franchise - I'm all caught up.
Night Court - Episode from last week with the British.
9-1-1 - I caught up with the first two episodes of season 7 now on ABC.
They had a funny meta opening with Athena telling a story of her
childhood watching "The Poseidon Adventure" on ABC then looks at the
camera and comments on how Shelley Winters did not win the Oscar for
Best Supporting Actress. But to get everyone up to Speed on this
two-parter, Athena and Bobby take a cruise for their honeymoon. The
ship then comes Under Siege by terrorists or pirates or drug dealers or >whatevers. Bad people with guns! The terrorist want Athena to Die
Hard, but she turns out to be Hard to Kill.
"Why do you have zip ties?"
"Because they wouldn't let me bring my cuffs on the boat."
I know I would do horrible in the game. I don't need to make the trip
to find out. As soon as I set foot on the island and see a spider's web
I'd be ready to go!
And if I had to spend the night I'd be demanding to
know what's the thread count on the sheets they provide. What do you
mean they don't provide sheets?!? Well how many pillows do I get? And
don't get me started on the quality of the food. They would not like
the review I leave on Yelp...Just as soon as I find where they hid my >cellphone. And what's the WiFi password. The island better have a good
WiFi signal or I'm leaving that in my yelp review too!

I stopped watching this show ages ago and one of the reasons I did was
the contestants no longer really needed to tough it out in the elements.
They were constantly getting rewards of tents, equipment, and food that
made their stay a lot more comfortable than it used to be.
When the show first started, the contestants would look like anorexic >skeletons by the final vote. Now they look the same as they did when
they first arrived non the island.

Yeah I had that done on one eye last July and was SUPPOSED to have had
the other done in late August but they found stuff they didn't expect
(mostly calcification) and it's now late March and I'm still waiting.
It's effectively like having two eyes each with a different

Much the same with me. The only thing that saved me from coke-bottle glasses is better materials to make lenses from. As it is the operation went well, the check-up today didn't reveal any immediate problems, I
have 20/20 in that eye now and have a mid-April date for the operation
on the other eye. But I am/was so massively short-sighted that trying
to use both eyes now gives me a splitting headache, so I'm wearing an eye-patch until then.

My mother had both lenses replaced. One is for normal vision, the other
is corrected for distance. That's what suzeeq is talking about. She had
to wear reading glasses: one with a clear lens, the other with a slight correction. It was done that way to make it easier for her to drive but
she's stopped driving.

It was confirmed last summer that I have cataracts beginning to form,
but not impacting my vision now. Hopefully I won't need surgery for
several years. Congratulations on your improvement!

You should discuss it with an ophthalmologist. The implant lenses are
not like eye-glass lenses, there are a few different options that are
all pre-made. No individualized prescriptions.

I don't remember it being that bad, unless I am conflating the Batwoman movies they played.

so massively short-sighted that trying to use both eyes now gives
me a splitting headache, so I'm wearing an eye-patch until then.
What lens are you talking about? The one in my glasses frame or the
one implanted in my eye? The one in my eye doesn't have a
"prescription" like framed external lenses and I have not had a lens
in the external frame removed or changed. My left eye, without any
eye glasses prescription, has 20/20 vision according to the eye test
that was part of my post-op followup.
now. It was confirmed last summer that I have cataracts beginning to
form, but not impacting my vision now. Hopefully I won't need
surgery for several years. Congratulations on your improvement!
You should discuss it with an ophthalmologist. The implant lenses are
not like eye-glass lenses, there are a few different options that are
all pre-made. No individualized prescriptions.
Right, that's who I saw and noticed flyers for different options, but
the prescription lenses are very expensive. A woman in my yoga class had surgeries a few months ago, and I think she needs glasses for driving
but can get along without them for class.
