Through Rose-Colored Glasses

I have a love-hate relationship with my glasses. Wearing them, I can read and drive and generally function very well in the world. Without them, I can look at myself in the mirror and see a face without wrinkled smile lines and a waist that blends softly into some hips. I think I'll choose function over form, at least today.

My Life as a Lime

I expect that I shall put this sticker on the netbook I ordered last night (a green Toshiba Mini NB505-N500, the one "recommended" in the Consumer Reports Electronics Buying Guide), to help me remember that though I am only a lime I can still do the best I can.
