My old glasses broke so I had to go back to the eye doctor for the first time in three years. I casually mention the whole "unable to see 3D movies" problem of mine. He tells me that I can get special glasses to fix that. Holy poo poo. HOLY poo poo. I got the glasses today and for the first time in my entire adult life I have depth perception. I've gone without it for so long I forgot what it's like to be able to tell how far away things are. I spent a good hour wandering around and realizing how awesome everything is.

Managed to finally get down to the courthouse to pick up our marriage license. Tax season and birthdays had made us put it off for a bit since no one could come and witness it. After we got it done it's like a catalyst for it's actually happening.

I got a $10K scholarship from the school I'm going to in the fall. Combine that with my dad's GI Bill, and college for me will cost only $12,000 or so out of pocket/loans.

Our toilets at work have those light sensors that turn of the lights if there is no movement. Sometimes I'm the first male in our department to use the toilets, so when I go in it is all dark for a second until the lights turn on. So for the past few months whenever I go to the toilets and the lights are off I think 'Oh, a vampire has used the toilet last.' I don't know where or why I thought this, or why a vampire would go to the toilet in the dark, but I do. It hasn't happened for a while but I happened to get in early enough today, feel the call of nature, and lo and behold: Vampire Toilet!  It has made me ridiculously happy.

Fixed an oil leak that suddenly started in my truck. Found the oil (valve?) covers on my engine were a bit loose and oil was leaking through the gasket. Tightened them up and leak fixed!

I work in the main office of a bank. Our building does a quarterly blood drive for the red cross. While I was giving my blood, the CEO of our company came in and started talking to people who were donating. He struck up a little conversation with me. We talked about his amazing suit. He looked like Colonel Sanders in a pimp outfit. After he left, the owner of the awesome Chinese restaurant in the skyway came in to donate. He recognized me, and told me that I was a good person for donating blood He then said that I could come up to his restaurant later for free lunch. I went to lunch (awesome chicken lo mein), and came back to my manager waiting for me by my desk. The CEO had emailed him telling him what an outstanding gentleman I was, and how I was a credit to our department. Also my buddy called and asked if I wanted to go get cheap beers after work. He won a 200$ scratch card and offered to pay! Hurray for 36oz Dos Equis Amber for 3 dollars!

Realized it was Cinco de Mayo, which just by coincidence happens to be the day I planned to make a really spicy pot of chili. I also poked around and found all the stuff I need to make margaritas.

I have sort of the same thing with my glasses on, my eye doctor didn't really know what I meant besides "lovely depth perception." Maybe my glasses just suck, it annoys the piss out of me.

Starting off with something awesome yesterday, I got a scholarship for Estonian lessons for when I go to Estonia next fall. Only worth about 700 Euros, but it means that I have enough money now to travel around the Baltic States while I'm there. Today, I got an e-mail saying they want me to take a placement test which I find highly amusing. If there are any questions beyond "do you know Estonian?" I won't know how to answer them. It might not seem that awesome, but it makes me laugh every time I think of it.

Up at 5am, had enough time to actually hug my cat before catching my bus -- he seemed pleased. Hit the gym, pushed up my mileage a tiny big since I'm still working on IT band issues and didn't feel any pain at all. Then I played with the weights and was told as I was resting between sets that my shoulders are looking really good by one of the regulars I see all the time which made me feel rather smug since I sometimes think I'm the only one who notices. I've finally adjusted what I eat and how much I eat so that I'm not exhausted by 11am on the days I work out. It's nice to not feel like I got ran over by a truck while knowing that I'm only doing good things for my health (by eating eggs... lots and lots of eggs!)

Had a super high priority "Oh god we need 15 webpages and an animated flash piece built TODAY," high profile campaign start up today at work. I didn't get the info for it until 9:30 am, and it had to go live at 3:30 pm today. Hit my deadline, got a ton of kudos from some very high profile folks.  And even though I didn't complain about the total lack of any kind of notice or effort on their parts to warn us that this was coming, my boss got mad for me and sent them a chastizing email warning them that I was very busy, very important, and to try not to stress me out with poo poo like that.I love my boss, and I love my job.

Not off the top of my head for either.  Just tell your eye doctor that you can't see 3D movies. I never mentioned that fact to any of my older doctors but that seemed to be the magic phrase that got my eyes to see 3D again. I think I'm finally getting used to it! I no longer gawk at trees and buildings!

I had to call Dish Network to send someone out to fix our satellite. While me and the guy were waiting on a test he says "so I see you're calling from Chicago, you a Bulls fan?" We talked about the Bulls and Derrick Rose for 5 minutes. At the end he said the were extremely busy in my area but because I was a Bulls fan he'd get a technician here tomorrow morning. Plus he gave me free Cinemax for a month for kicks. Awesome!

This is not my day so much as recently but I didn't feel like this deserved a thread but still felt like posting it. I met a girl on Chat-Roulette and she's awesome. I was coming back after having a good night out but wasn't tired yet. I had just finished  with some friends and since it makes everything hilarious I thought I'd go around on chat-roulette and see what I could find. I waded through penis after penis and those weren't particularly interesting. Eventually, I found someone with clothes! I talked to her for a while and we were obviously getting along. She asked me for my skype name and I gave it to her. I figured that'd probably be it but she messaged me the next day! This was in early January. She lives in Spain and I'm currently studying in Denmark so we did have a bit of a distance thing going on. We talked regularly for hours at a time. This went on for a about a month and a half. I had a 2 week break coming and decided on a whim to use some of the time and go stay with her. We hit it off just as well in person as we did online. She'll graduate from college in May and is actually looking at coming back to the US with me and getting a job there. We aren't official and are waiting until we know whats going to happen with her finding a job and getting a visa before we put any titles on our relationship. But when I think of all the ways we could have missed each other I'm amazed we made it this far. This has renewed my faith in the idea that nothing is impossible and you can make anything happen if you try hard enough. We are from different cultures, different backgrounds, and I don't even speak spanish but I have a good feeling about all this.
