Life Updates

My eyes hurt from spending the whole day with dilated pupils so I'll make this brief. In the words (possibly) of Charles Manson, bullets to the rescue:

  • I was offered a job on Friday. I have accepted. I start in three weeks. There will soon be a disclaimer that the opinions expressed on Soylent Red are mine and not those of my new employer.
  • I spent the weekend in Clare (the county, not a girl). It was fun.
  • I have resolved to spend St Patrick's Day next year in New York. People appear to be interested in this idea.
  • I had an examination at the Wellington Eye Clinic today. I'm an ideal candidate for LASIK. In fact, post surgery, I will have better eyesight than I could possibly get from corrective lenses because they can fix the asymmetry in my corneas as well as my myopia.
  • I love Lamp.

After you have you eyes fixed I'd like to extend you an invitation to the pants party!

The first party I throw at my new place is definitely going to be promoted as the Pants Party. I might follow it with Mitchapalooza.

Congrats on your new job - I was going for that janitor position too, damn you! Are you going to randomly make one guys life hell in there? That would be awesome! I spent Paddys day in Sydney this year - it was great. They had it a week early coz the harbour bridge is 75 on the real Paddys day and they are having a bit of a shindig for that too. Thats 2 years when I'll have had 2 Paddys days (remember the whole hand n ear scare a few years ago).

Congrats Rory, great news. A question though - do you really love the lamp, or are you just saying it because you saw it?

@Ronan: Yes you're missing something. Anchorman and Old School respectively.

@Ben: I love lamp!
