I wear my sunglasses at night

Actually, that's a lie. I do not wear my sunglasses at night. That'd be silly.

I did buy sunglasses today, though. My first pair since 9th grade (I only was able to tolerate them for a few weeks). However, these ones I bought today are actually rather nice. They don't make me look freaky and they fit straight on my abnormally shaped head (my right ear is substantially higher than my left). They don't touch my cheeks, but they also don't push on my eyelashes. Those are pretty much my four requirements for glasses. Oh, I forgot. They were also cheap. : ) $9.99 at Kohls, who is having a sunglasses sale, and I had a $10 gift card. Woot.

In any case, I've been going without sunglasses for far too long. Every time I go outside with contacts in, my eyes are sore and itchy and I just rub them the whole day. Plus squinting causes eye strain, which makes my vision worse. And sun damage can lead to cataracts and other eye diseases, such as macular degeneration, which my mom's mom and my future step mom's mom both have. Unfortunate. I don't want to have surgery on my eyes. Maybe I'll just be blind. It wouldn't be so bad, would it? <.< >.>

I also started wearing sunscreen more this summer. As much as I love sunburn, it's a no-no, especially for freckly folk such as I. I also have light eyes, which increases my risk for sun-related eye diseases. Gr... my genes are predisposed against me. This is not conducive for a long life.

Speaking of genes, I was wondering today if seagulls who live in parking lots will evolve into a distinct species from seagulls. What do you think?

Twelve Monkeys

So, today I watched a movie called Twelve Monkeys...

JK. I didn't. I'd already seen it. Good movie. No movie reviews today, however.

But what I'm talking about are the shower curtain rings my mommy bought me for fixing her computer. There and 12 and they have monkeys on them (with the see no, hear no, speak no evil theme). They're cute. I wouldn't normally blog about it, but they're sitting next to me, and I really have no idea what to blog about. : )

I made molasses cookies today! They're okay. I prefer them a bit chewier, but they taste nummy. Tomorrow I will make chocolate chip cookies. The molasses cookies were for my mom. She's been craving them for a while, enough to buy molasses anyway. I prefer chocolate chip cookies during the summer. Molasses just reminds me of winter. I even was humming "Silver Bells"while I was making them into balls.

Too early for Christmas songs.

Anyway, random unofficial poll: What do you get for your dad as a wedding present when you're poor and he pretty much as everything he needs? I can't even get a good Christmas/Birthday present for him, let alone a wedding gift!
