dilated to meet you

(the title above is from a song by Loudon Wainwright III, who I WON'T be able to see because of the play!! POOP.)

I'm wearing sunglasses all the time like a damn vampire, like Cassidy from PREACHER. And with half my vision completely blurry, I kinda wish I had an eye patch. It would certainly make reading easier.

Maybe I should just go all James Joyce and blacken out a lens on a pair of glasses. Or was that James Thurber? Some famous half-blind author named James. No, even better! I need a monocle! YES!

The new play I'm in, THE DAVID DANCE, is an interesting experience. We started this week and go up in a month, so we're rehearsing virtually every day. I feel like I'm back at college, where everyone seems to think plays cannot have more than five weeks rehearsal. I'm playing a nice, smart, well-adjusted gay AV geek who works at Radio Shack.

I think tomorrow I'm gonna get to work on the fourth and final story in the Tammy saga.

Yep, it was Joyce. He sported an eyepatch under his glasses so he was all piratey-but-still-distinguished-author-type.

Seriously though, I hope your eyes are okay, dear!!!

Thought so! I just couldn't find images of that on google. Thankee.

We'll see about the eyes after my appointment next week. I'll be sure to update.

Hahaha, you just described my friend David A. when he was in high school.

I wonder how David Bowie got used to it?

It's a good question. Remind me, does he wear those tinted shades like Bono does? Because that might help. Also, I really have to wonder if a MEGA contact lens or a monocle would really assist.

i did a play like that once where we had one month of rehearsals. it was a "documentary play" about the life and works of Carl Sandburg, and i was there soley because i could play the guitar. hee hee, i'm special.

If there's anyone who could actually get away with walking around wearing a monocle it's you poozer
