Upgrades

Life is good.

I got contact lenses over the weekend. The optometrist was very nice, and said that after I get out of law school, I should consider getting laser eye surgery. That's an exciting prospect. But seeing my face without glasses again is odd. It's been a few years since I've worn contacts. So, disposable lenses will be fun. I'm still working up to wearing them for a full day at a time.

And thanks to a good friend here at the law school, who just happened to have an extra PC CPU lying around, my desktop computer at home has undergone an almost miraculous transformation. Going from a 700 Mhz Duron chip to a 2000 Barton is a bit of a jump. I upgraded the heatsink/fan combo, which was relatively cheap. Now I have to see if it'll run that Doom 3 demo I have on CD. And I can't wait to run a session of Neverwinter Nights on it.

But not until the weekend. This is the point in the semester when I have to really buckle down and get serious about finals - they're coming up fast!

I wondered why you weren't wearing your glasses today at lunch. I figured you'd broken them. But hey congrats on the new contacts! Better you than me -- I can't stand putting 'em in.
