Ahh, another Sunday evening alone at Meyer…
Went to Seacliff State Beach in Santa Cruz yesterday with Baylight. Hanah and Eddie were there at 7:30 AM to reserve tables for our 12:30 PM party. Wow. I ate a disturbing amount of meat, caught one really good wave on the bodyboard and got *destroyed* by all of the the subsequent waves, lost my disposeable contacts that I had been wearing for a good 6 months now (I am going to get in the Guinness Book of World Records for *something*, dang it), squinted pathetically for the rest of the afternoon, had sand coming out of my nose and ears courtesy of Grant, and got toasty and sunburned on a large rectangular portion of my back that I couldn’t reach by myself. (It doesn’t hurt that much… really.) Then had great fun discovering our intertwined network of friends from high school, featuring the spectrum of old flames to deadbeat prom dates. =]
Speaking of contact lenses (oh, were we?), anyone have good tips about how NOT to lose my contacts every time I’m near a body of water, whether it’s a pool, ocean, or probably even a bathtub? Yeah, I know, I should’ve changed out those two-week disposeables a while ago, but I figured that they were gonna get taken away from me involuntarily at some point anyway, so why chuck ’em, especially if I’m not going going blind after 6 months? Yeah… Brian and Flora and probably some other people who are happily contact-free and I just don’t know it — I am so jealous of you and your stupid Lasik.
Confirmed my plans to go to Hong Kong and Singapore for a very brief 1.5 weeks of wedding attendance and vacation. Speaking of weddings, one of my friends from my home church just sent out surprise wedding announcements for this July (aww, while I’m gone). She’s … 20?! Wow, I think that beats out the youngest married couple I know from Baylight. Speaking of vacation, what’s the point of flying over a thousand miles to “get some R & R?” Anyone have suggestions of what to cram into my puny 3-day vacation in S’pore? Speaking of S’pore, do all of their models possess such amazing powers of balance and mannequin-likeness?
Definitely have had a craving for some liquid nitrogen ice cream since I missed the free stuff last Thursday at the nerd get-together at the Physics building…
kenneth, stop wearing those contact lenses forever! i’m a big fan of dragging them out for awhile, but 6 months for 2-week lenses? you’re just asking for trouble! i’m not an opthalmologist, and never will be — hated the eye chapter… in fact, if you ever look at pictures of people with graves’ disease, you’ll see why i hate it so much! i’m convinced they’re going to come out of the page and kill me! anyway, i may not be an eye doctor, but it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that SIX MONTHS IS TOO LONG!!!!!
Oooo….you should definitely ask Alinna what to see and do in S’pore. I would tell you my favorite haunts in S’pore but they all involve the joy of finding clothes made for women under five feet. Unless you have special interests of which I am not aware, I doubt my fave spots will be helpful. 🙂 Have fun!
wear goggles? 🙂
