Last week I got a new pair of glasses. It seems that my right eye is no longer strong enough to focus and read print on its own (lazy little twerp), and I need the specs so my poor left eye doesn’t get all burned out picking up the slack. Perhaps this balances out my birth defect of a deaf left ear, which makes me appear to be ignoring people on my left side. Also, great multimedia presentations are pretty much wasted on me.
Add to that my growing bald spot, a receding gum line that further exposes more than a few cavities, and skin that still likes to sprout the occasional pimple just as much as it loves to bleed almost every time I shave, and my critics have a great new bit of canon fodder: truly, nothing in my head works right.
